I fully believe the Movie out did the book this time. I loved all the books but when it came to New Moon I was a bit sad by thee lack of Edward even though it was needed. I LOVED this movie. The book has some long drawn out parts that help keep the book version going but, I am glad they didn't have them in the movie. The portion without Edward wasn't too bad at all. I loved the way the scenes were shot and the way they characters interacted with each other. I loved it so much I am ready to go see it again! Alice was hilarious when it came to Jacob. My favorite line was when she said she would be back when Bella let the dog out. Overall from 1-10 it was a 20. It surpassed all my hopes for the movie.
