Took my 16-year old grandson with me to "New Moon". We both loved it! Stayed faithful to the book. Like the book, it seemed to drag in places but that didn't detract from the movie. Some laughter, sighing, and lots of applause from the audience at the end. Wolves were so realistic, Volturi so menacing. I suggest seeing "Twilight" or reading the books before seeing "New Moon"; if not, might be confusing I'd see it again, and I'd recommend it to any "Twilight" fan.
