You should see the movie. *spoilers* - Edit 2

It definitely leaves an impression. It is slicker than the other movies. The acting, again, varies. Kristen Stewart is very good. Billy Burke is excellent. Robert Pattison comes out of his coma, which isn't to say he's good, but at least he wasn't entirely sleep-walking. Taylor Lautner's efforts, unfortunately, took a turn for the worse. I thought he was quite good in the 2nd movie. Here, eh. Stood out as the worst. (Edward is in his own category. It's actually funny, and the movie acknowledges that. Funniest moments: all of Billy Burke's reaction shots, a few of Edward's reaction shots, and the Renesme bit.)

The movie. A few corny scenes. Wolves talking telepathically the worst by far. But I was pleasantly surprised. Overall it's more professional. The movie divides into 2 distinct parts: very romantic (yes, very romantic; best that they've managed so far, and sole credit goes to Kristin Stewart for that; ok, also the soundtrack). 2nd part: straight up horror. I gasped and had my hand covering my mouth most of the time. It's scary, and disturbing, and holy crap. Also, sad. Jacob should have emoted more. I'm not saying anything about Edward. But I certainly felt very sad when *spoiler* Bella dies. And don't get me started on the demon spawn. I know I've read a few science fiction/fantasy books about creatures like that. Her instinctive first act out of the womb is to compel all those around her into protecting her, at whatever cost. But I didn't hate it, even though I was horrified at what it was doing.

There were definitely guys in the theatre, btw. I think it's very much worth seeing. The pregnancy from hell really makes it different. I thought it was the best of the Twilight movies so far.
