So much better than the 1st!

New Moon almost split off into an alternate universe for me, one in which Jacob is actually deserving of his love. He was much less desperate, much less annoying, and definitely, more pleasing to the eye!
Overall, the movie kept pretty closely to the book in the important details, while skimming past other trivial things for time constraint.
I felt like Kristen and Taylor had more of a chemistry than she and Robert had... just personal opinion though.
If you're a fan of Twilight, this movie won't disappoint you. The increased budget and the new director made a a huge difference.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I went in with low expectations, I knew that no hollywood adaptation could measure up to the images and experiences I created in my mind as I read the books. I was right, and therefore, not disappointed.
The acting was a pretty solid level of terrible. Edward grows on you, but the emotion that Bella experienced wasn't even touched in Kristen Stewart's interpretation.
There was a few pounds of cheese, and many moments that just simply lacked the excitement that Stephanie Meyer so briliantly penned.
The thing they got right... the first kiss. That made the movie for me. I was breathless from then on!
Overall, if you're a fan of the books, you HAVE to see the movie, it's worth it, but keep your hopes low!
