New Moon was a GREAT movie! It was everything I wanted to see about all of the characters. They did a really good job working from the book & including the basic information. When it comes to the Volturri, if you havent read the book, you probably wont completely understand the story behind them. This movie compared to Twilight had a lot of sense of humor to it. The werewolves were funny. And they did a really good job with the animations. I kept telling my husband how big the werewolves were! The only thing that bothered me with this movie was the awkward noises Kristen Stewart would make anytime someone tried to land a kiss, it was rather annoying!
