After being terribly disappointed in the first installment, "Twilight", I was hopeful that a new director could save the Saga. They did it! They really did a fabulous job on New Moon. The book's dialogue was not tossed to the side this time - the screenwriter must have realized that Stephenie Meyer wrote those words for a reason - and the editing wasn't so ridiculously choppy as it was in Twilight. I am SO SO SO pleased with this movie. Of course some things were changed, but I can look past any of those changes (book-to-movie) because they got it right this time. The story flows, the characters make sense, and you can see the relationships that have been built/are being built. Definitely a must see!!!
