I was very pleased with New Moon, the movie. This production is a little more polished than Twilight, both in the development of the characters and in the special effects. Bella is a little less clumsy at speaking, which was a little irritating in Twilight. I was really glad that her pining for Edward wasn't dragged out too long - it was handled very well. The first appearance of the werewolf was a little hokey looking, but the rest was wonderful. The way the movie ended was quite a cliffhanger, generating lots of excitement to see Eclipse when it comes out. Even though I've read all of the books and know what happens, it doesn't diminish my excitement to see the movies. I can't wait!
