Twilight Series!

[AlphaFrog]

I was surprisingly "meh" about the movie. I was kind of "meh" about this book in the series, too. It kind of felt like "ok, now I have to get the plot from the end of New Moon to the beginning of Breaking Dawn, so let's throw in a bunch of random stuff."

I really wish they would have had the line in the tent about Edward telling Jacob that if it were him in the sleeping bag with Bella, it still wouldn't make the top 10 best nights of his life.

It's been awhile since I read the book, but I don't think the book implied that the Volturi (or at least Jane and Felix) knew that the newborn army was after Bella and was going to let it happen. Was it really necessary to add that?

I know Jasper is from the South and we learn about that more in this movie, but his accent was weird for me - one because I felt like he sounded more mentally handicapped than Southern, and two because he didn't have an accent in the first two movies (not that he spoke MUCH). Ditto on what everyone else said on the terrible hair as well.


Note for books and movie: I wish we knew something more about Emmett. Carlisle was the first of the Cullens and lived with the Volturi, Edward was second and was in a hospital dying, Esme jumped off a cliff, Alice wasn't made by Carlisle, and was in a mental institution, Rose and Jasper had detailed backstories in this book/movie, but I don't think we know ANYTHING about Emmett, do we? (Once again, it's been a little while since I read the series. I could be wrong.)
