This movie was about what would be expected. It is entertaining to see the New Moon book carried out on film- interesting to see how the characters are portrayed, and put a visual to the mental picture I have carried all this time. But as for this being a "great movie" it is not. If I hadn't read all of the books, I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much. Parts of it were so cheesy that the audience actually laughed (like when Edward runs in slow-motion into every scene). Still worth seeing though.
