New Moon was a good movie. The acting was much better than in Twilight. Some of the parts that were missing that were in the book would have been helpful for viewers to better understand some parts such as the Volturi scene in Italy, however, anyone who has read the books would be able to understand simply based on what they already know. With the showing of more of the killing of the vampires and the wolf fights this movie was probably better for those boyfriends and fathers who have to take their girlfriends or daughters, respectively. However, the addition of these slightly more violent scenes makes this film less appropriate for children, so parents, please leave the little ones at home.
