Better Than Twilight!

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2009)

We were fortunate to get to see a premiere of New Moon in Knoxville. Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart were there to help raise money for Regal cinemas Variety children's charity. I'm proud to say that it was a great success as over $400,000 was given by Twilight fans.
Now for the movie! I would imagine that most fans of the series would have two questions? Did the movie follow the book and how many minutes of the film included Robert Pattinson. As most readers will know, its impossible to get a 500 page book into a two hour film. I think that the Twilight and New Moon movies have done a much better job of following the books than did the Harry Potter films. Robert is in at least half the film which is more than I would have thought from reading the book. There is a lot more action in this film and it sets up well for the release of Eclipse next year. The film has already set records for advance ticket sales at Fandango and with two more films remaining could well become the best selling series of all time.
