I have never read the books (nor will I ever) and I didn't really care for the first one. The acting in the first one was beyond terrible and Kristen Stewart is just a depressing teenager, I can hardly stand it. So I saw this movie because I didn't want to see "The Blind Side" because I knew it was just like every other true story sports movie.

Yes, the acting is still pretty bad (though not nearly as bad as the first one) but I think the main reason why I like it is because of the Taylor Lautner dude. He is a stud (unlike Edward). The action is good the pacing is good and the twists are good. It actually really made me want to see the 3rd one.
I would choose this teen flick over any predictable, un artistic drama out right …
