After being dissapointed by the first movie, I was hesitant about seeing New Moon. I went because my daughter and I had read all the books and my teen niece is a huge fan. We loved it!! It had everything that the first didn't . . . great special effects, a much more believable Jacob, and the cinematography was much better than I ever expected. Where Twilight was dark, New Moon was a shining star. The werewolves were so cleverly done that all three of us jumped at one point. The characters have really grown. Stewart and Pattinson were totally enjoyable. NIce to see veteran character actor Graham Greene. Thanks Hollywood for not letting us down.
