I'd give this aspect a seven.

• Production Design
  

Production design meshed beautifully with the scenes. Nothing insignificant, that much I can say. But they have to stop using that meadow. I know, it's important that they do, because after all, it's where Bella and Edward first got to know each other deeply, but whatever. The scenes they do there come across really really cheesy. Anything major sweet becomes icky sometimes, even for me, who's a confessed Twi-hard.

This one gets a nine.
I had been thinking about criticizing their special focus on some of the more minor characters (e.g Riley, Bree, etc.) because I thought that they went a little overboard on giving them so much exposure since the movie would've been more watchable and could still stand on its own even without having them around like, every ten minutes, but then i realized that some of those who watch the translation of this story on screen don't even read the books, so giving them a little more taste on the feel of this characters were okay, so that they can further understand why they are there in the first place.

Contrary to most feedback, the action scenes were quite excellent in my opinion. It wasn't really fast-phased, as most of the reactions I have seen, or heard or read because I honestly thought that the fight scenes were actually condensed excellently.

I wasn't able to really appreciate the movie because I was beside Cherry and we kept on reacting and giggling on the cheesiest and randomest stuff that was shown (which, our unfriendly stranger seatmate didn't find amusing at all, evident in the way she kept on giving us hard glares everytime we opened our mouths irrelevantly). But I guess, for something that didn't get my attention fully, it's worth watching a second time so that I can actually really see what people have been going on about this third installment that made most of them love it.

The best thing so far in this movie, had been Jacob's wittingly sarcastic one-liners ("Let's face it, I am hotter than you.") and Jasper's longer dialogues. I have noticed that he spoke more than five sentences this time around. HA HA. There is something un-evil from you after all, Rosenberg. The Victoria recasting had been barely noticeable, I must admit. It's just that, people have been too focused on the "love" aspect that they almost forgot about her. Even I found myself saying, "Oh yeah. I forgot, she's still alive and still one of the villains on this one." Teehee.

The incorporation of the flashbacks were very concise! I loved everything about it and was summed up in a way that didn't really miss out on the more major details.

BUT, they also had a tendency to make some of the scenes a lot more intense than they actually should have been.

So as for my recommendation?

I'd say, if you're a die hard Twilight saga fan, and Taylor Lautner's abs, then go see it if you haven't yet. But I think you've probably seen this movie like, thrice already if you're a super fan. For me, this is the best one so far.

But if you hate anything Twilight, I won't appeal for you to give it a chance and waste your money on the grounds of just giving you more reasons to hate it.:)

So there.:) Hope you enjoyed! Comments will be highly appreciated!:) Thank you!
