One of the best moments of the movie experience was when Jacob first took off his shirt, and I heard a pronounced gasp from the female audience members. I had quite a chuckle. The acting from all the cast appeared much more defined, and made more of an impact on me. The special effects were impressive, and the dream-like sequences were thrilling. I definitely liked New Moon better than Twilight. Looking forward to Eclipse, and wondering if the action and effects will still keep pace with the book.
