Completely agree with your thoughts on the Jasper scenes and Leah. Leah and Seth were the only wolves that didn't bore me to death in the book (including Jacob, yawn) so I was so glad to finally see them, and Leah was spot on how I imagined her. Pity there wasn't any Seth/Edward bonding though.

And Jasper is one of my all-time favourite characters of the saga. So glad that he finally got his chance to shine and Jackson actually got to act rather than just stand around looking pained, rofl.

And I ♥ movie!Charlie so much more than book!Charlie.

I was bored A LOT. Through some of the scenes, Seth was so wee and tiny and cute, and I just loved Leah.

Jasper is my favorite character and I'm really glad we got more than just seeing him walk around uncomfortable, he got some really good scenes and I was happy with it.

I actually think all of the humans, Mike,Jessica,Angela and Charlie are a lot better in the movies than in the books.

I like Rob in Remember Me and it kinda leaks over into the Twilight movies and makes me like him more in them. Kristen is a bit awkward for me and she's really bad with in depth emotions.

I actually liked book Bella. She had flaws and all but I enjoyed her character for the most part but I think movie Bella is a bit of a bitch. Too many times does she say/do shit that pisses me off (like jumping on the back of Jake's motorcycle and getting in between Edward/Jacob fighting after the broken (why was it only sprained in the movie *BOO*) hand.

I was VERY disappointed that Bella "saved the day" during the fight, it was completely wrong and it makes Seth seem like such a 2nd hand participant in the fight. There is supposed to be bonding between Seth and Edward and you JUST DON'T SEE IT.

I was very very happy with the back stories :)

Movie Charlie is amazing :)

I'm not an Rpattz fan or a fan of crying in movies so I haven't seen Remember Me but Kristen Stewart I just found so boring, I thought she was better in New Moon if anything, but I don't really like Bella book or movie so I guess I am biased.

I was really happy with all of the background stories, I thought the movie was actually really well done.

Best review EVAR! I loved it. Although, I didn't think Kristen was all that bad this time around. It seemed her facial tics weren't as obvious. I give her credit for not being so awkward this time around.

And the hip hitching scene ... omg I was seriously turned on until Edward proposed and make it all ickly sweet.

I agree wtih about 90 percent of what you said.

[haughtymelodic]

Thanks! I just thought she was SO BORING OMG. Sure she didn't blink as much but her voice is so monotone and she doesn't have facial expressions. I was mentally eyerolling a lot.

I admit, the hip hitching scene was hot but I kinda swooned at the last Jacob and Bella kiss, :( poor Jacob.

[pixiestick_cc]

Yes, that too. OMG it was soooo hot and Jacob sounded less pathetic in the movie than he did in the book during that whole kissing scene.

I think it made me too vested in Jacob/Bella again, but I did like the Jasper and Bella interaction. Alice just makes me roll my eyes. But idk, I really liked Taylor's Jacob in this movie.
