In this one I would flat out argue with Stephenie Meyer herself that the two characters were not in love. I already didn't quite believe Bella and Edward were in love in the first twilight. This was mostly due to the structure and pacing of the film but also due to the characters.To be fair, some of the characters were likable, but they had very little chemistry. The film had very little momentum, and was tedious to watch. The film just moved from one scene to the next as if it was counting off a large check-list of scenes that the fans wanted to see, most of which just consisted of very uncomfortable and boring one-on-one dialogues. By what I heard from book fans it seemed to have succeeded in that regard, but that is not at all to the film's credit. To die-hard fans of the book, this could be considered a good thing, because all the fans really wanted to see was a movie that depicted all of the events of the book and followed it closely. As I was watching it, it really felt like I was just watching a very long book unfold on screen, rather than a movie that is BASED on a book. The entire movie was very slow, long, and awkward. I will preface this review by saying that I have not read any of the twilight books, but I did watch the first movie before going to see this film, and I am looking at the series purely from a cinematic stand-point.That being said, I thought this movie was a massive failure.
