New Moon was extremely better than Twilight, I think it is because the producers understand how big of a deal the Twilight Saga is. This movie really did a good job of showing Bella after being left alone. The intimate and sensual tension between Bella and Jacob was unreal, in my seat I was about to scream. This movie was just unbelievable; I think everyone should see it because they perfect the relationships between the three. I absolutely loved it.
You definately should read the book, you get little insiders while watching the movie (bella's thoughts, why they do the things they do) and it makes it more funny. I loved the movie. It was different from the book, but it was a good different for those people that "don't have the time" to sit down and read. Once I started I couldn't stop, I read all four books in a week! They were excellent just like the movie, and hopefully movies! I went to the midnight premier of twilight and then went again 1 day after. that's how much I liked it. :)
