This movie was better than Twilight I think because it brought in more of the goodness of the book. Those of you who are die-hard fans are because most of you fell in love with the books. Twilight in my opinion didn't live up to the book, at all. New Moon was closer to being on target with the story line from the book, it was comical in places but brought out the emotion and heartbreak that was prevelant in the written version. I would definitely recommend this movie to friends and family.
