I know what you mean about coming out of his coma. Unfortunately it's still not all of the time. It was much the same way in the books, those stressful moments in Breaking Dawn are the only moment that Edward's character is interesting... which leads one to think it may not really be Pattinson's fault.

I definitely wasn't particularly impressed by Lautner, but had been expecting worse. But then, I don't think I've seen the second movie. And yes, I liked Billy Burke - and Sarah Clarke, too.

The wolves' scene at the river where Jacob rebels against Sam really had me wincing. Maybe it was like in the book too and I just don't remember, but the whole "I'm the grandson of a tribe leader, I'm above you" part struck me as extremely, well, dare I say un-American as well as unsympathetic.

And yeah, there's some horror alright... best scene in that aspect: when Bella's first drinking blood through a straw, and then says it tastes good, with blood-stained teeth.

They might have made things a little clearer regarding Bella's fate... they go from Edward getting desperate that she's dead and his venom isn't working, to a very brief scene indicating she has a heartbeat again after all - but all the same they put her in a rather dead-like pose until she wakes up in the final shot. Confusing. I was really disappointed that they left Bella's reaction to Jacob's imprinting for the next movie - but then, that second half of the book was so weak that the final movie will need all the good character moments it can get, so probably a smart move.

*nods* I enjoyed it well enough, certainly don't regret seeing it.
