herumtreiberI went to this movie with a heavy feeling on account of the wedding (which wasn't Jake/Edward) and the imprint. However...
...I liked it, a lot. The tempo of the first part was slow. The wedding dragged on and on, though when Bella imagined the Volturi up there it was fun.
It was also funny watching Renée and Charlie mingling with the vamps without having a clue, and Irina ready to pounce on Seth. But then Jake showed up and got things moving along, dancing with Bella.
When Edward broke the bed during their lovemaking, I hoped it would fall on her - no such luck. After Bella finds out she's pregnant, the Brazilian woman says she's possessed by the devil - funny to hear Edward speak Portuguese.
Her pregnancy was grueling to watch, and then comes the moment I loved the most: Jake and Edward talking in the forest, where Edward begs him to try to talk to Bella given that the two (Jake and Bella) share a bond Ed doesn't understand. There was chemistry between the vamp and the shifter.
Surprisingly, I liked the time Bella spends with Jake, and how Jake slowly fits into the Cullen family.
The moment when the pack is on First Beach was poignant, especially Leah looking wistfully at the other couples and wishing she could imprint on someone. It was a nice foreshadowing of Jake's imprint.
Liked it when Jake shifts and the pack finds out about Bella while Sam goes berserk. And Seth was lovable.
I loved Leah. She is just the way I imagine her, a little bitter but an independent woman, able to think for herself when she leaves the pack.
Rosalie should've had more screen time, I missed her sarcastic remarks. She is just there to help Bella along, how convenient :(
Loved it that it was Jake who thought up the idea of giving Bella blood. The way he outsmarted the pack was brilliant, when he pretended he wanted to kill the baby just to split the pack so Carlisle and Esmée could go hunting.
The birth managed the impossible, I was rooting for Bella.
Jake imprinted, and it was beautiful and moving. When he's remembering his words about gravity failing and the camera's viewpoint shifts up into the sky, it was great! Renéesme was very nice; she's way more beautiful than Bella. I just loved the way they presented the imprint. (Of course, it would've been a hell of a lot better if it had been Ed Jake imprinted on).
Funny, I always thought they sent Aro an invitation to the wedding, but the letter came from Carlisle!
I liked the soundtrack, but it didn't have a special song I connected with, such as Lykke Li's 'Possibility' in New Moon.
All in all, I liked the movie a lot. Wish there had been more Jake and the Volturi, hopefully that will come in the next part.

I thought Bella was creepy looking. I have to say Charlie's scene I loved! He was funny. And the part of the beach when Jakes lets out his Alpha voice! Wonderful!

She was too emaciated, her cheekbones were creepy. Charlie's toast was pretty funny where he says he has a shotgun :))
Jake was great! I loved his confrontation with the wolves, where he says that if they kill the baby they kill him.
