I do think that this film does follow closer to the book than Twilight did. I thought the short phrases they added in New Moon here and there were cute...even though they were not in the book. The scenes with the wolf pack were great. However, I was quite dissapointed with Edward and the way the vampires looked in this one. I could really tell their features were digitally enhanced, more so than in Twilight. The whole movie I was trying to feel the bond between Edward and Bella, but it just wasnt there. When I first read New moon I could care less about Jacob, so I felt the relationship there still. But of course, after seeing the movie...I cant help but think Edward who? I really hope to feel that bond again between the two.
