I know I am a cheater...I never read the books...who has time? But, I went ahead and saw Twilight. What a lame and boring movie. But, with all the hype of New Moon and the promise to be so much better, I just had to see it. I even took my 10 year old son who insisted vampires and werewolves were what tween boys are totally into. To my surprise the movie greatly exceeded my expectations. The actors were much better this time. The special effects were quite good, although I have never seen, in ANY movie or wildest dream, a werewolf of that size. I will definitely see the next movie when it comes out and I guess my son will be coming along. FYI...there were no bad words or uncomfortable "naughty" scenes.
