I LOVED it... LOVED it!  I really liked the Twilight movie, but it took me seeing it a second time to really get into it.  New Moon seriously had me from the get go.  Loved the new directors style, and felt it wasn't geared as much to a teenage crowd.

and OMG  TL body.  I'll be a total perve and say freaking gorgeous.

I was also surprised by the humor one-liners. 

I could go on and on.... LOVED it  :)

I am so glad to read this. I was NOT really into the Twilight movie. I read the books and adored them. Was disappointed with the movie. This makes me want to re-watch it and then go see this one in the theatre. Yay! But not anytime soon!

You can totally tell the style difference of the two movies, and (imo) i much prefer New Moon.  It also (obviously) had a bigger budget which I am sure helped.

A couple scenes were a little tacky where I wasn't sure if the Edward special effect worked (for those that saw it, I'm thinking the water one), but really... I can't recommend it enough.

I sometimes felt Twilight movie almost tried too hard to be edgy with constant rock music, etc.  This is a little more traditional music with background music, but not over-riding if that makes sense.

Kristen Stewert, imo, also does a million times better in this one.  I thought she was great.

Did I mention I loved loved loved it :)

I'm so glad.

That first director was off of her nut, she was trying to make it way too artsy.

I kind of wish they would re-make Twilight with a new director.

Anyway just from the previews I could tell that this one would be more straight forward with lots of good effects.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

 

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT

I am so so so so so impressed with Chris Weitz. What an amazing job he did.

And the actors. Taylor Lautner was incredible. Just the perfect Jake. And Im a big Kristen Stewart fan, but I think she upped her game BIG time in this movie. Not so weird and awkward with the facial expressions.

I am so happy that the emotions I felt in the book, are in the movie for the most part. I sobbed throughout a good portion..even in parts I wasn't expecting.

And the ending.



AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Come on June 30th!!!!

Did anyone else see it?

What did you think?

I went to see it last week and really liked it. The one co-worker of mine said she liked Twilight better. I mean this is no oscar winning movie, but I enjoyed it.

I agree. it was much better than the first one.

I enjoyed the whole thing.

The only thing I didn't really like is i don't like how edward sparkles. I don't like it in the book and the way they did it in the movie looked silly.

I loved Jacob. I think they did a great job with the wolves.

Bella was MUCH better this time.

All over better.

Was the ending the same as the book? I listened to them all again recently and I felt like the last part of this movie was the first part of eclipse but I don't have my books here. Maybe not.

I think it was close, now I'm blanking.  I know they added the fight scene/scuffle with the Volturi because they needed a little action where the book had a lot of internal dialogue. 

 

I went with my sister a couple of weeks ago.  I LOVED it.  I got home the night I saw it and wanted to go back and see it again, and again, and again....  I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD so I can watch it as often as I want.  It was MUCH better than Twilight.

I'll be the lone holdout and say I was a little bit disappointed. I just felt like they took some of the best dialogue from New Moon and watered it down/cut it out entirely (what about the whole "You're not asleep, and you're not dead..." speech?? omfg, how can you leave that out??).

I thought it was a good movie; don't get me wrong. And I didn't walk out thinking "Well, that sucked!" or anything. I also realize that book vs. movie means changes have to be made -- I liked the Volturi fight scene, and I loved that they left in the blank period of time when nothing happened...that was so powerful in the book, and I was worried they'd mangle that somehow but they didn't. There were a lot of good things about the movie, but I didn't think that (other than having more action because, hello, there WAS more action) it was necessarily better than Twilight.

I do like those wolves though. And I thought that the part with Harry Clearwater actually was great and kind of made his death feel less random than it was in the book. I just have no desire to see it again in theatres; I can wait for DVD/tv.
