I was a little disappointed in this movie. I thought Twilight was wonderful, and was expecting the same from New Moon. When I saw Twilight, I had not read the books, so maybe that made a difference with New Moon. I was expecting it to be as good as the book, but I guess there is no way to fit the book into 2 1/2 hours. It seemed to skip around alot, and I felt that made you miss some of the storyline. I do think the special effects were great!! Especially the wolf transformations!! I would still recommend it to a friend, but will not see it again myself until it comes out on DVD. I hope that Eclispe is better, because I am a Twilight Saga fanatic!!
