Pretty Good.

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2009)

I swear I'm the only person that actually liked this movie.
I've read all the books multiple times and I know every single one of them inside out. I feel familiar with the characters and I understand them. This movie did not disappoint like Twilight did. Twilight felt like an adaptation where as New Moon felt like the book.
I agree with those that say the dialog was a little stiff. But, A LOT of it was verbatim from the book... not meant to be read out loud. I don't think it was so much the acting that didn't pull through, it was more the writing itself. I personally think that Rob and Kristen did a MUCH better job this time around. They seemed more intense, and Rob DEFINITELY got better at looking pained. Overall, the movie stayed VERY true to the book. The things that were cut should have been and the things that were added made it more interesting. The CGI was pretty darn good, the music was SPECTACULAR, and Oh my goodness, that 4-month sequence got to me.
So basically, if you really like New Moon the book, and you really like the characters and you want to see a very good visual version of the story, New Moon will certainly satisfy.
