I have to agree with Kate Rogder on this one. I have read all four books many many times. The first movie lacked so much in more than just details from the book i nearly didn't see the second one. In the second one the acting and producing was better, i'll give it that so i thought who knows about the third. And then of course there was so much hype about the third book that i thought what the hey, I'll go see it,it can only get better, right? Boy was i disappointed to the extent that i will not go see the final two movies. I can say this, for those who have not read the books these movies are ok because they don't know what really important details they are missing. I will also say for those who read the books after seeing the movies, be prepared for a very different experience.BTW- Ebert reviewed the movie with similar critique.

stace - what fight scenes? There was only ONE, right at the very end, that lasted about two minutes, and it was pretty stink. There was about two of the vampire heads being cut off that looked cool with the ice stuff inside them, but it was still a pretty bad fight scene, and it was right at the end of two hours of terribly, terribly written characters reciting unthinkably dull and basic dialogue at each other, with the men generally topless. Kate's review is way, way more than fair - it's saying the film is half as good as a movie can be, giving it a 50% rating (a pass in school cert). It's a terrible movie, just dreadful.
