Although better than the first, New Moon failed to impress me. I am so overwhelmingly obsessed with the book, too - so I was terrifically disappointed.. The acting is terrible, as in Twilight. The only reason I am going to continue going to the theater to watch the subsequent films is because I simply cannot say goodbye to the series.. Don't get me wrong, the books are amazing, but very unlike Harry Potter, the transition to the movies has been an utter disappointment.
