I have to say, the movie really impressed me. After Twilight, I was disappointed in many ways, and I never thought the movies would in any way live up to the way the books felt. But it really did surprise me.
I can't really complain much at all.Everyone gave a more realistic portrayal of their characters this time around.
I thought Kristen really carried the entire movie on her shoulders and she did a good job with it which I never thought she would because I didn't like her portrayal of Bella in Twilight at all.
The months passing was such a heartbreaking scene to watch. 'Bella emailing Alice' moments were touching, not necessarily my most favorite thing about the movie but it brought a certain feel of melancholy in the background. I guess it was a good idea. It proved that Edward was always in her thoughts even if Jacob was taking a big part of her life now.
My most favorite scene was Voltera! Bella running to save Edward just sent butterflies in my stomach! I felt how scared she was at that moment and it was amazing. The kiss could have been better but it was satisfying. The Volturi were really good. And the fight scene kept me on the edge of my seat.
I also didn't like a whole lot the boy band Wolf pack scenes with out the shirts. There were too many. I found some scenes cringe worthy - aka the scene where Jacob takes off his top. I mean, really? We know you have a nice body and everything but you don't have to be shirtless 24/7 to prove that.
The Vampire!Bella vision was cheesy😆 but I just think it was a bad directing choice to have Edward running there in slow motion. He is FAST thats what we have been taught since their first day in Forks High😆
I loved how Bella told Edward "just shut up" -EPIC!😆
The final confrontation between E/B/J was ok - I LOVED the 'it's him, it's always been him' line. That owned. Really explains their whole dynamic really, yes she loves you Jacob but no where near as much as Edward. He has her heart. 😳
I was disappointed with the bedroom talk scene. It could have been so much more beter. I thought it was abrupt and lacked the correct emotions.
Overall very satisfying and I most definitely felt the E/B love, which was the most important thing for me. I am definitely watching it again.
Its absolutely MUST WATCH😛
