No movie will ever compare with the books. That being said, I truly enjoyed the movie and even decided to see it a second time with all 7 of my close friends on a total whim. Was it worth it? Yes! Will I see it again? Yes! I think all the actors did a nice job with their roles--a few things I probably would have given more time to elaborate on ( a more tender meadow scene). Loved the baseball scene and the music was awesome. Just tell when we can get ready for New Moon and I will be there!
