I'm new to the whole Twilight phenomenon. I saw the first one in this saga just a couple of months ago. I had high hopes for New Moon but didn't expect much because of past disappointment with other sequels, however, this movie lived up to the hype. I fell in love with the characters all over again. It seemed a tad bit long, but the ending was well worth the wait. There wasn't as much action in this one but I appreciated the time spent on character development (for those of us who have not read the book). Now I can't wait for the 3rd one. Go see it!!!!
