As a long-time fan of Ms. Meyer, I was a bit disappointed with the first installment of the saga, as many key points were missed or run over too quickly. This being said, I had very low expectations for the movie adaptation of New Moon. I worried that they would not be able to portray it correctly, or miss plot points to try to cram it into a 1 1/2 hour film. Luckily, only a few things were left out, the majority of which did not have a negative effect on the film's continuity. While the film is lighter with it's new director, it was still done in a way that does the book, and Ms. Meyer, a great service.
