In Twilight, Kristen's near constant stuttering and eyelash fluttering drove me nuts. Plus there were times when her line delivery was stoic. She detracted from the story. In New Moon most of her annoying "technique" issues were fixed, allowing the storyline to shine through. The only thing that really annoyed me was her style of screaming and writhing during nightmares. Her chemistry with Taylor was really good, and even though I'm team Edward, I found my self wishing that Bella would just kiss Jacob already. Give us some relief! The CG was ok, but at certain times the wolves seemed a bit cartoony---particularly the darker wolves. The lighter ones looked more realistic to me. Overall, I though New Moon was a better movie than Twilight.
