I had the exact same behaviors as you, one state over. God, the score was terrible! The score in the other movie was much more eerie and romantic. This one sounded like they ripped it off from Dynasty.
Other shit I didn't like:
Volturi = not scary. The one dude looked like he was going to call for tea and crumpets or just break into song. Their thrones were stupid. The one guy looked like he was coming out of anesthesia.
I also hated Edward's gross suitcoat he kept wearing plus the coat of Lipfinity he was surely wearing.
Kristen Stewart mumbles for the win! Thanks to be not understanding you.
All the mundanes who get short shrift in the book (Mike, Charlie, Eric) were actually funny and more enjoyable than the Bella/Edward/Jacob death trio.
Though I liked Taylor Lautner. He seemed to be the only one doing anything interesting on screen.
Overall, New Moon the book is poorly paced and dull plot-wise, so we shouldn't be surprised. But so was Twilight the book and they managed to correct this in Twilight the movie so I expected the same thing in second film.
Also, I hate that they call it a "SAGA". Um, a saga features mythic heroes and heroines and gods and battles and has been passed down orally around campfires for thousands of years. While I confess to being sucked into this teenage clit-tickler of a series, a "SAGA" it ain't.
