I had high hopes for New Moon. It was slow and some bad acting in the beginning. It was like whoever wrote the screenplay thought everyone read the book so they didn't take the time to explain key things that were important to the plot. The wolves were cool but they cut key fight scenes and gave us snipets. Then the movie moved at lightning speed skipping all over the place. They took so long in the beginning that they ran out of time and just gave us the cliff note version. There was almost a certain element of lameness to this movie that was not in the first. I am a Pattinson fan but he needed to eat a sandwich. But maybe looking at Lautner's great body through the whole movie just killed my Edward high.
