![]() When he was first turned, Marcus fell in love with Aro's sister Didyme, who was his wife and the love of his life until Aro himself killed her to consolidate power and ensure Marcus wouldn't abandon the Volturi. This being Twilight, there's a tragic love story behind Marcus' malaise, and it's one that the films fail to touch due to time constraints but one that colors his villainy with shades of moral complexity. But then again, that's not saying very much.Only that's not quite the full story. It was enjoyable, to say the least and probably the best of the series (so far). I would have liked to see Alice do more than just stand and have a premonition, and what happened with Esme? She was on screen for 10 seconds. It had its good moments, ridiculous moments, points where the script sounded as if it were written for a nickelodeon kid's show, and scenes where you just want to scream at the characters. I have to hand it to Rathbone for another good performance and wondered why he couldn't have played Edward, instead of listening to the wooden voice of Pattinson. The acting was better, but Bella and Edward both returned to their comatose state on screen while Jacob and the wolf tribe keep the life in the movie.
