| 0:35 | Yellow moon? |
| 1:29 | Oh, are they supposed to be like Romeo and Juliet? Yea, that didn't come across in the last one. |
| 3:45 | "We co-ordinated. Well, she co-ordinated me." |
| 7:39 | Jacob is kinda creepy. |
| 14:28 | "Don't hate the truck." Who could? It's amazing. |
| 18:08 | I would be like, shut up about changing you, it's not going to happen, we should probably see other people. |
| 24:40 | There's a massive difference between not good for and not good enough for Bella. |
| 29:25 | Good grief, buck up Bella. Nobody is that important. |
| 31:03 | Yay for the awesome dad. "It's just not normal behaviour." |
| 37:53 | "You're like... buff." Some cracking dialogue in this movie. |
| 43:35 | Oh god, she's going to cliff dive. To see the vision of a boy. Oh Bella. |
| 50:44 | Is calling someone a marshmallow an actual insult? I like it. |
| 53:04 | Lot of grand promises from Jacob, feel like he is going to let her down at some point. |
| 1:01:11 | "Lie... lie better." |
| 1:03:26 | Wolf side eye. |
| 1:08:05 | Dude never wears any clothes. But I wouldn't if I had an eight pack like that. |
| 1:11:25 | Oh right, so vampires that have no vampiric tendencies and werewolves that can change whenevs. What a crock. |
| 1:13:34 | "You're good with weird." Love that. |
| 1:16:19 | Just wondering, why do werewolves respect international borders? |
| 1:18:24 | Oh my god, I am mostly worried about the dads. |
| 1:20:06 | Tom Daley would have words about that dive, I tell ya. |
| 1:27:54 | "I have never met anyone more prone to life-threatening idiocy." Oh god, that should be the tagline for the movie. |
| 1:38:56 | I get the Romeo & Juliet allegory here but pffft. |
| 1:43:53 | Edward has basically spent two films looking as ill as is possible to be. |
| 1:45:09 | What's wrong with Bella?? |
| 1:53:47 | She has a vampire in the room but a wolf portrait on the walls. I spell trouble. |
| 2:00:41 | Five years is forever! |
Thoughts
Hmm, bit of a dip in form for the second Twilight installment. It was all just a bit over-emotional and dramatic, bad acting and poor dialogue, with not a lot to endear you to the characters.
Particularly Bella. I have no sympathy for this girl at all, she's an absolute nitwit. She's scared of getting old so decided living a hideous dead life would be better? Sitting around for literally months on end because her boyfriend left town. Jumping off cliffs to get a glimpse of him? I can't even.
I like that Jacob/Jake got more of a role this time, but I was equally annoyed that werewolves don't behave how you would imagine either. They don't actually seem bothered by the moon at all, and can change at will. So weird.
Rating: 2 / 5
