Back to Boring Twilight

I feel like the Twilight saga takes a giant step back with this fourth film. While the rivalry between vampire and werewolf mythology that the series has created is compelling on the surface, the film instead contains mostly lots of talking, more moody glances (ala the first film), and soap opera-y declarations. The final twenty minutes is the film's best as the stakes and action are ramped up tremendously, but the film takes it's sweet time getting back into the flow of the story and that hurts the pacing. As with each film, the best part of the film is the soundtrack, which succeeds independent of the film.
