    I've read a lot of reviews of New Moon since I watched it myself and one thing I've noticed is that the Twihards are divided over whether or not New Moon is better than the first Twilight movie. There are some that say it is close to the book and those that say not but, since I h...( read more)aven't read any of the saga novels myself, I have no opinion about that whatsoever.

    Is New Moon better than the Twilight movie though? That's the problem because some of it is and some of it isn't. The romance, action and hotness of everybody involved has certainly improved this time round and it's starting to move right into "Interview with the Vampire" territory so that's no bad thing. But (and there's always a "but") the story still moves too slowly and there are too many characters to keep track of even if they only have minor roles compared to the big triumvirate of Bella, Edward and Jacob.

    The story is much as before, i.e. Bella loves Edward and wants to be a vampire so that they can be together forever, Edward doesn't want to take Bella's humanity away, and so it goes on. This time though Edward leaves Bella because he wants her to be safe and so she drifts into the world of werewolves as Red Injun Jacob reveals his feelings for her during Edward's absence.

    To tell you any more would spoil it for you but I have to say that the CGI werewolves weren't too bad considering that they are still CGI and fake as hell and that both Edward and Jacob spend a lot of time with their shirts off (which I'm sure will please a lot of little girls). Unfortunately Bella doesn't spend any time with her shirt off which would have certainly made New Moon 100 times more enjoyable for me.

    Aesthetically the film looks really good and ithe camerawork is consistently better than in Twilight. There wasn't too much of a distracting soundtrack to this either with the music being quite minimal and unobtrusive. That works in New Moon's favour but perhaps not for future CD movie soundtrack sales. I only noticed two songs in the whole thing so where the rest of the album would come from I have no idea. I only mention that because I went to Burger King and got the little burgers with the free New Moon coupons with them and I know one of them was for money off the soundtrack CD. I won't be buying one anyway. (BTW the "Burger Shots" suck!)

    I'll add more to my review later once you've all had chance to see New Moon for yourselves.

    The bottom line is that I enjoyed it. I'd rate it as about 6 out of 10 (and half of that again if seen as a horror movie which it really isn't). I still think of the Twilight series as being the Dark Shadows of the 21st century.

    Really faithful to the book, but doesn't come close to capturing the depth in the novel.

    Ugh! Tween twittering cheese fest. Although was quite funny the shot where Bella falls off the bike when Jacob takes his shirt off the theater ?erupted? w/ awws & oooh etc. At least HE?s got the real abs. Rob Patterson?s is PAINTED on! (as I?ve said before.. poor choice for a...( read more) lead roll..I?m surprised there weren?t a few screams for ?Emmett? being well he prob. At least body wise made for a better ?perfect vamp body.. (& now Taylor Lautner does too) Oh & of course there was a scream for the rest of the Quileute wolves in Human skin. (although SO NOT as impresseive as Jacob. (man do I feel guilty seeing that kid w/ no shirt on.. lol_& he?s not 18 til February!! Who will also be in the movie Valentines Day. In February (lays a Tyler Harrington) The 3rd book in the series?Eclipse is already in post-production & from what I?ve heard is planned for a june (or was it July) release. I remember hearing a girl say she fell asleep during the beginning. & OMG Colossus (Daniel Cudmore) from x-men plays Felix (one of the Volturi Guards) (his flixte page which I started working on a bit while reading a few articles) http://www.flixster.com/actor/daniel-c
    As far as this movie goes? go Team Wolfpack! Cause they were the ONLY fun (action) shots of the movie. Otherwise it was a dull bore. I was tryingNOT to fall asleep but of course when I got home cause it made me sleepy.. I fell asleep during my games (on Saturday night grrrr) sorry but for me was a D (for making me want to DOZE)

    I have seen this movie four times already and I love it more each time that I see it! It's really different from the books and they didn't put a lot of stuff in there that I wanted them to, but it's still a great and fun movie. I loved that there was more wolves in it and less va...( read more)mpires :)

    5 STARS BABY!!! AHHH!!! This movie was amazing! It was so much like the book and I love Taylor Lautner's abs. :] They were a character all by themselves. lol Anyways, some things were a little different but not too much. I'm loving the soundtrack (I didn't when I first bought it)...( read more) because I love the songs where they're at in the movie. Kristen did much better in this one and she's gutsier and prettier (even though she's all depressed) and I just love Taylor Lauter/Jacob. :] Team Jake! Uhh...Ashley Greene was fantastic as was Jackson Rathbone, even though his part was on the small side. The wolves were awesome! They were so huge and looked amazing, even for CGI. And they scared me when they came on screen because they looked so vicious and scary! But totally cool. Dakota Fanning as Jane was really great and I did like Demitri. My fave part? Bella and Jacob's conversation in the truck right before Alice shows up; that was cute. And the wolves, obviously. It was actually really funny in a lot of parts, like I was cracking up, I swear. A little sad; I cried when Edward left. *tear* The ending was aggravating but I kind of liked it. I didn't like the fact that it just cut to credits all suddenly like that. Urgh. My fave wolves: Embry (so cute!) and Jared (adorable!) and Jake obviously but I already love him. :) But yeah, it was totally awesome. Can't wait to buy it on DVD!
