New Moon book.

The movie didn't capture what was New Moon. New Moon is about love taken away and trying to live without that love. Love taken away, love re-established. Which, Bella did in the movie, however, they didn't re-establish the love between Edward and Bella. I was very disappointed with that aspect. The storyline was pretty good. The movie was complete. However, the movie was very very rushed at the end. Around the last 30 minutes, it's not paced out very well. The editting is horrid and the timing is all wrong. It was so segmented, especially the Italy reunion and after.

But, on a lighter note, I don't think the movie could fully capture the emotions that is New Moon unless the screenplay was better. The dialog in New Moon was kind of corny. Lines were changed a little from the book so it doesn't always mean the same thing. I could go on an on about the new moon movie.

I liked it since I'm into cinematography. Good graphics, good coloring, and all of those are great. However, as a fan, I wasn't pleased at all. The look of the movie doesn't make the movie. I mean look at Transformers 2. Awesome graphics, but terrible storyline. Repetative and the producers and the crew relied on action to carry the movie and the movie isn't that great. In fact, it's horrible plot-wise. Back to New Moon: It would help for it to look stunning concerning the lighting, but you can't count on the special effects or *cough*"guys with abs"*cough* to carry the movie. And that is a shame since Melissa Rosenburg, Twilight's appointed screenwriter, fails to see that.

I agree that the end of New Moon was too rushed.

THE BOOK!!! THE MOVIE JUST WASN'T THERE FOR ME. SEE WHEN I READ THE BOOK IT RIPPED MY HEART OUT WHEN EDWARD LEFT BUT THE MOVIE IT'S JUST LIKE OKAY?? PLUS THEY CHANGED THE MOVIE. THEY SHOULD'VE LEFT IT THE WAY STEPHINE WROTE IT. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN THEY ARE IN THE ROOM WITH THE VOLTURI THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM BUT THERE ISN'T. PLUS THE BOOKS PLAY WITH YOUR EMOTIONS THE MOVIE JUST HAS YOU WAITING FOR THOSE EMOTIONS TO HIT!!

i personally prefer the new moon book. it captures your emotions and makes you feel sorry for the characters. plus in the film it kind of nearly lost my interest in twilight because it just doesnt feel the same with cut out scenes
