New Moon scores much higher than Twilight ever did in my book. I think that the acting was better. However, the CGI still could be improved and the special effects made everyone in the theater laugh, instead of being impressed. The choice to use slow motion in epic scenes really doesn't create the image that they were hoping for, as far as I could tell. It needs to be more realistic. I really liked the interactions between Jacob and Bella. Liked the funny moments, just enough scary ones. Bottom line is that the CGI and special effects should be much more impressive and real.
