I was hesitant to go watch New Moon, but happened to be visiting my younger sister who wanted to go opening night. She, my mother and my husband headed to see it. After the major disappointment of Twilight, my expectations were extremely low. Perhaps that is what made this so much better, but I think it was truly a great movie because it followed the book (significantly more than Twilight), the special effects were much tighter and the acting was more believable this time. I truly enjoyed it and am assured by my whole party it was two thumbs up. Go see it for yourself!
