I was impressed by the effects and action of New Moon. You can definitely tell that more money was put into the film. Taylor Lautner was a pleasant surprise both in his acting and physicality. Kristen Stewart's acting was improved from Twilight but she has serious trouble expressing the raw feeling of a broken heart. She did not shed one tear. I expected more feeling and emotion from her, especially during the break up scene and when she loses herself in the woods. Rob. Pattinson is not seen often, but expresses himself well. I was disappointed with Alice. Her emotion seemed very fake. The other Cullens were lacking personality but the werewolves were entertaining.
