You will love this movie. I make this assumption because you're reading something about Twilight and "haters" simply wouldn't bother - unless you're reading this waiting for me to say this movie is garbage, in which case I think everyone will get exactly what they want.
To be fair, this movie is only garbage if you're going into it thinking it's a vampire movie. It's not. It is a teen love story and taken as such, it is undeniably successful and makes a lot of people very happy and that's not a bad thing.
The film starts off assuming you just saw the last one and dives straight into the story. Bella is getting married. It's an hour of teen wedding soap opera with vampires and jealous werewolves. From there it's the honeymoon in South America for some sweet, sweet lovemaking. Putting two and two together you can imagine the last hour is taken up by the complications one can expect with supernatural honeymoon nookie.
It does have to be said that the Squamish location shots are awesome. It is pretty cool seeing a bunch of werewolves down at the log sort. Oh, and those worrying about the amount of topless hunks need not fret since it takes no less than seven seconds before the first shirt is ripped off. In the end, fans of the series will enjoy and please do. The rest of you know well enough to leave this one alone.
