Great. Except the leading actress.

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2009)

First- I am a big fan of the books and I am 14 so I am a high school girl and we are apparently all supposed to love everything to do with twilight no matter what. However, New Moon was my least favorite book, but I have been excited for the movie since about January. In my opinion, the first movie was awful. It didn't follow the book very well and I think that if it wasn't based on a bestseller book, it would have been a flop. The second movie was an improvement. It followed the book much better. It included almost all of the things in the book.
I would have liked this movie more if Bella was played by a different actress. I don't think Kristen Stewart is very good at showing emotion. I first saw her in Speak. Kristen was great in that movie. But that character showed no emotion, that was who she was. In New Moon Bella shows a lot of emotion, even thought it is all depression. She just didn't show any kind of emotion.
The wolf pack in this movie was great. They acted very well together. (They were also very hot and shirtless a lot ;) ) I wish they had gotten more screen time. The humans (Mike, Jessica, Eric, and Angela) were also great. They had many funny parts throughout the movie. I think my favorite scene was when Bella, Jacob, and Mike go to the movie.
Towards the end of the movie, in Italy, there was more fighting than the book has. However, it all worked out and I liked how the director and script writer solved it.
The movie ended with a cliffhanger that, of course makes you want to go see Eclipse. This is how the book ends too, but there is a little more at the end of the book.
