I've read all the books and love them. After watching the first movie, I didn't think the film did a very good job at capturing the feeling of the first book. However, New Moon was 10 times better than the first movie. The acting was better and the characters were better developed, especially Alice. Execpt I definitely could have used more of Alice. I would definitely recommend you go see it.The minute it ended I wanted to see it again and I'll probably go back later this week to do so!
