It's a very pleasant movie, it never bores you and the relationships between the family seem real; it has very interesting ideas, emotions and some truly great scenes. The problem is, however, that it never has a definite tone and most of the time it lingers unfocused without something to say.
This is surprisingly a better movie than its predecessor, though not too shocking because Twilight does suck big time. Chris Weitz is a much better suited director than that chick they had last time and he manages to give the film both a better look and some well-constructed, memorable moments. Also, Kristen Stewart feels more comfortable as the lip-biting of Bella, you actually kinda like her sometimes, and Robert Pattinson has very little screen time. The bad news? That screentime is given to Taylor Lautner and no one else; not Ashley Greene, who deserves a spin-off since she's the only who seems alive, not Dakota Fanning and not Michael Sheen. Also, the climax is set-up in literally 5 seconds and a few moments later everything ends.
Big, loud and obnoxious. But we already knew that, right? I had to admit the first hour or so is quite entertaining and the first big action sequence was very cool, John Cusack remains the most likeable person in the world and seemed like it might be a fun movie... but then 37 hours and 89 disasters later it was all dull, boring and typical. By the time the movie turns into The Poseidon Adventure I cuoldn't stop looking at my watch.
Everytime I watch one of his movies, I feel more and more sure that John Cuscack is the most likeable and charismatic actor ever. He can take any character and make him sympathetic. This was an absolute blast, hilarious movie full of memorable quotes.
