Not to that extent as you, but yeah, he did seem too pained. Kristen's coldness didn't help that either. They had zero chemistry this time around. All their kisses seemed so passionless.

I am wondering - everyone knows how he hates "Twilight" , what keeps him doing the films?

Unfortunately, as much as I didn't mind Lautner at some points, the storyline of the middle part of the movie was just so boring. It reminded me of HBP, the way one waited for something to happen, but nothing ever did.

Hee! I wasn't really looking for any story here, not with the ARMS of steel and nifty wolves!

Edit: and yess! I liked Victoria too. Isn't she the new actress?
