When I saw "Twilight", I loved it because it was the visual representation of the book. However, I never really thought that it was that great of an adaptation.
They definitely improved things in the second installment: New Moon. The movie was better. The visuals were better. Things were explained a little more (for any non-fanatics out there).
Nevertheless, the acting still wasn't up to par. Stewart in particular could use some acting lessons. She is improving though. I hope. I hope it's not just wishful thinking on my part. I thought that Lautner (Jacob) did a really good job, but the others are seriously lacking some skills.
This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm "Team Jacob". I'm not. But, I'm not "Team Edward" either.
I really liked the way the past was presented in New Moon. I also thought that they did a good job of representing how Bella was feeling through the emails to Alice.

I'm a sissy I guess because Twilight freaked me out... But I think New Moon was less scary. I also thought the story was pretty shallow in New Moon (but maybe I wouldn't think so if I had read the books).
Overall, I liked the effects and enjoyed watching this movie with my beautiful wife.
I give it 2.5 out of 5.
