I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga. I have read the entire saga twice this year and am reading it again for the 3rd time. I have Twilight on dvd and have seen New Moon in the theaters. Twilight the movie did not do justice to the book. I understand the necessity to make cuts due to time allotments and such. I saw the movie Twilight before I ever read the book, which was good for me, or else the movie would have been a real dissappointment. I don't think that Twilight the movie caught the real essance and depth of the book. New Moon was closer to the story line, although it was easy for me to see the chronological order of things that were changed in the movie due to time allotment and still trying to tie the whole thing together. New Moon the book was extremely hard for me to get through. It felt like it just dragged on and on about Jacob and Bella, considering the “high feeling” that the end of “Twilight” left me with. I wanted to read more about Bella and Edward. I did feel that New Moon the movie also drug on in the same way, but I expected it to since the book did as well. All in all, they are AWESOME books and great movies!!! {This coming from a 34yr old women ; ) } I've heard a rummor that they are considering making Breaking Dawn into two movies. At first I was completely upset, how could they leave us agonizing over the ending like that just to make more money. Upon closer reflection of the idea, it makes more sense to me. If Breaking Dawn is done in 2 parts, the movie can more accurately depict the book; that and the fact that there is just so much going on in Breaking Dawn. I can handle the two part episode so long as it follows the book as accurately as possible, that will deffinitely be worth the wait!!!!

GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!

a lot of important scene should be included such as..

1. cd gift from edward was no where to be found and bella removed d stereo from her truck to relate with why she doesnt listen to music anymore...so the depress scene delivered more sadness to audience..more effect..

2. bella's awake after get back from voltera should think she was dreaming at d beginning to relate how depressed she was, cant differentiate between reality and dream, to show how crazy she was without edward, and edward prove she is not dreaming..

the scene included not being done well enough...

1. edward wrapped bella, hold her tight, his hand on her waist most of time on their way to meet volturi..edward tried to protect bella from d most dangerous situation...!!! not jaz hold bella's hand like walking by d beach...

Right on……………………Movies can only allow for so much. If to much gets put on the screen then it gets al slow and drawn out………You said it great Sydney.

I agree with both of you that not all of the scenes can be used because there simply isn't enough time, however there were some parts that I really wanted to see;
1. Bella and Alice talking on the plane about her being changed
2. The family reunion at the airport and following apology from Rosalie, although I know they sort of included Rosalie's apology in the vote
I loved the film and have watched it twice at the moment, I'll definitely watch it again because it is one of my favourite movies, however I just felt like it was missing a couple of good scenes (^_^)

I compleatly agree with u, people need to accept the fact that the book is not the movie script!! The changes that were made I felt improved the movie but if they were in the book they wouldn't have made sence..

I wish I could comment on everyone's responses. I think the changes were necessary. There was stuff in there that hinted at what we know from the books. Like Carlisle and Esme's present: Esme said “Since you've been looking a little pale.” If you've read the book you understand it. Also, with the first movie, the crew said they combined Jessica and Lauren into the character of Jessica and that Ben and Eric were combined into Eric's character. Also, Alice does have the vision in 'New Moon' so I think it was important we saw it in the movie. And, they were wrong about the pics of Edward disappearing. It's not blatantly stated in the movie, but you can see that the pics of Edward that were on the wall in the beginning are gone during her depression.
I think the biggest thing this fandom needs to realize is that the movies are going to be different. Period. Not every little thing is going to be in there because it's simply not possible unfortunately. You just have to accept the differences.

Another thing that no apearred in the movie is Edward' s present, when he give her the cd with Bella's song .. and then when he take away.. when he go away.. And the present of Carlise and Esme , the airplane tickets .. to Edward and Bella! it isnt enouth importante .. but i think that the cd is very important because there is the definitilly song, that Edward wrote to her!

I thought New Moon was so much better than the first movie, Twilight, but some of the changes they made were (from book to movie) were for the better and some for the worst. I like how the characters looks were changed up and I think it had an all around better look to it. The only thing I didn't like was the vision. *SPOILER* When Aro sees the vision of Bella as a vamp, it kinda ruined it for me. I was looking forward to seeing her change in the future films (hopefully BD is made) and I think that's one of the main plot lines. Overall though, it was really good and I can't wait for Eclipse!

It was a good movie… wish they had added the grounding seen… ha ha that would have been awesome… I felt that the movie was going to fast actually… I felt it could have been longer. Also at the end… umm… I didn't feel a lot of love in the bedroom scene. It felt odd to me. But still love the movie… Jacob's hair was better, makeup was better… a lot was way better! Great job! But I love this movie because of the book… Also I feel the changes were great because New Moon was hard to read without Edward in it much. Actually I heard that from quite a few people…

I actually think that they combined a few characters because in the book the character Lauren didnt like Bella and Jessica was sort of following her lead after Bella's depressios started and the episode in Port Angeles, but I think the combined the two which kinda explains how Jess was such a b**** to Bella. Then in the books Angela had a crush on and eventually started dating (with a little help from Edward and Emmett) Ben Cheney. But in the movies she liked Eric and in New Moon she was dating him.

Well said!! I am team Edward because Edward as a character is the essence of Twilight Saga. Even though the books are written from Bella's perspective, when we see Edward through her eyes we too fall in love with the character. Indeed, it was always meant to be Bella & Edward.. Personally I was kinda annoyed with Jacob's character in Eclipse & a little disgusted with him in Breaking Dawn.
I really liked that the script writer used her own brains & not take every word from the book..New Moon is way better than Twilight at so many levels..it's more mature, everyone made an effort to act better & the CGIs were great.

In my view the movie was average; the best character hands down was Charlie who was adapted perfectly for the movie. Bella and Edward, like the books, are totally self centered and deserve each other; But only because nobody else in their right minds would have them.
Ive got nothing against the actors, just the characters. I will never read the books again

i absolutely loved the movie, all the changes were really good and made the movie better! i especially liked how they introduced Jacob early when he gave her the dreamcatcher, it established that he was going to be in the movie later rather than if they went along the book they would have to explain Bella's thought process behind seeing Jacob and it would seem random in the movie =S i was upset with the ending (not that i didn't like it) but i am Team Jacob and hearing her say she loved him but if he made her choose it would be Edward was sad to hear =(

in the firsst book tho they were in carlisle's office but in the first movie they never were so that might be part of that. idk

Well, also in the book, whenever Jacob goes to Bella's house to talk to her, he jumps out of the window, instead of taking the staires like in the book.

It was sooooo much better than Twilight!

I liked the changes many of the stuff that was in the movie that wasn't in the book like the whole harry clearwater heartattack could have happened that way we only ever know in the book what bella sees and hears and jacob tells her in the movie that harry clearwater had a heartattack not that he was attacked by victoria and then had a heartattack it could have happened like that and it makes you think. I personally liked the end of the movie and thought that her lines to Jacob were great I like Jacob as a friend to Bella but I never think they are meant to be lovers, I am Team Edward just because Bella and him are meant to be!

I loved how when Bella saved Edward she told him that “she can let him go now”, that was awesome! Atleast she held her own, and let him know that she would be ok!!
I liked that alot, I am Team Edward, but I love how Bella was stronger at that one point until he talked and they kissed, but nonetheless she held her own and wasnt all lovey dovey with him!
They also didnt put the bike scene in the end were Jacob brings them to Charlies to get Bella grounded! I was kindof hoping for that whole scene!
And Bella never says to jacob “dont make my choose”, because it will be him!
That just killed the whole love triangle to me!!…
I love the scene in her room though where the camera spins around her, that is really thought out and great!
Great movie!! I hope Eclipse holds its own to!!! Cant wait!!!!

The changes were much more subtle than those in Twilight, and they had to change a few things to make it work on the screen. In my opinion the changes make the movie make more sense and enable it to move along faster so they can get the whole book in within the allotted time frame.
