Not Bad. It's for the diehards.

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2009)

I loved the books and first movie flaws and all. New Moon is not without flaws but enjoyable for a die-hard fan.
The movie is long and rather slow paced but if you love the world of Twilight then you don't mind. Kristen Stewart holds the movie together. Luckily there's a strong actress for the part of Bella otherwise this movie would fail miserably. She truly delivers the pain of losing Edward. There were tears in my eyes during the break up scene.
As for the wolves - Taylor was decent but the rest of them need to take some acting lessons.
The Volturi - Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning were fabulous! I adore Robert Pattinson but his constant look of pain in the movie is overdone. I wish he'd stop scrunching up his forehead. It became distracting after awhile. He isn't on screen much but he was pretty good.
Overall the effects are better in New Moon than Twilight as well as the acting. But I enjoyed the story in Twilight better than New Moon. Of the four Twilight books I enjoyed New Moon the least. Maybe that's why I didn't enjoy the movie as much.
Definitely go see the movie though!!!!
