I LOVED IT!!!! and as Twilights #1 fan (ha ha) I was soo completely relieved that it was the way it was and it was LOTS BETTER than Twilight; yet the same "tone" i LOVED Twilight and I saw it in the theater 7 times - so I'm definitely going to see this a bunch more times!! Chris Weitz, you did GREAT!!! :)
Jacob looked Fantastic!! I'm still madly in love (crush) with Robert Pattinson a.k.a. in my household R.P. - He looked even hotter in New Moon and I can't wait to see his next one!!
