I don't know, just didn't make a lot of sense to me.

and this jumping through glass business, like anyone really walks away without a scratch after that kind of thing, or gets in a series of serious car accidents and still just hops out and walks away without attracting any attention from bystanders.
Aha... Gotcha.

Well, in that case I could add dozens of other "issues" to the list. Ditto for the first two movies.

I enjoyed it nevertheless.

I had completely forgotten that part about the newspaper guy. I also couldn't figure out why he got killed. I didn't like that part either.

The other thing that bugged me was when the one girl said that she had a hard time with him, but then fails to elaborate. You could read all kinds of things into a statement like that. If you're going to throw something like that out there, I think there's a need for follow-up.

Lame.
Agreed.

I finally saw it last night as well. I think I liked the first movie best, then this one next and th second would be my least favorite.

For the books, the first one was easily the best, with the second one ok, the third was better than the second if I remember correctly. Just like the movies I guess.
