let me at first make some categories and ranked them so that my approach to this movie will be crystal clear: ACTING: good, not perfect. the main 3 actors (Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner) are still immature and young, so there should not be high expectations. although, Lautner's voice is as nice as it should be. in the book, it is described as "husky" and it is. I wonder if it's one of the reasons why he has been chosen for the role! Charlie is totally believable and much like the book. thank you Billy Burke! MUSIC: perfect, it was chosen very carefully and correctly. i like the music in the mock battle, the music in the Cullen's house when Bella ans Edward are alone in his room, and the music in the Edward and Victoria's fight. they are really awesome. SCREENPLAY: good enough. i know it's too hard to write a screenplay based on novel. because when you want to visualize a text, you have to omit thing which can't come to pictures such as thoughts and feelings that have a very important role in books. at last i think this movie is better than previous one (new moon) and as lovely as the first one (twilight). although i still strongly believe the books are sth else!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon
(2009)
this "new moon" doesn't seem "new" at all!

not as perfect as the first one and also not as interesting as the book, it's all I can say about this new moon. why is that? firstly, I think people at first should read the novel to understand the movie completely. without background knowledge the movie is incomplete. secondly, the new moon novel has so many monologue and inner thoughts-Bell's. she explains her agony and pain so that you can sympathies with her easily. but the movie can't reproduce these thoughts- it's the priority of books to cinema. so most of the things seemed somehow irrelevant. my advice to who has not see the movie yet is: start reading the saga before watching it to enjoy both :)
Twilight

well, when I heard about twilight at first, I was talking on the phone with my high school friend. she told me: " I saw a movie which was wonderful." "what's the name?" I asked. she said:"twilight" I asked: "what does this mean?" she said:" i have no idea, but i watch it twice!" it was the first sight. i remember. time passed and i think around a year later, on of my university friends who knows i'm crazy about romantic movies gave me a bunch of romance to watch. and in there, there was twilight! let me share my experience while watching this: the quality was awful, because sb maybe in east Asia had recorded the movie from the screen! thanks to him, the colors were pale, the audio awkward. sometime his hand shake and so the all movie shake! and the amazing one: he got tired and sat down, so the upper half of the movie disappeared! but with those problems, i loved the movie :) and still love. but like all the movie based on novels, the novel is sth else. much better.like Harry Potter. in fact the only movie I have seen which was as well as the novel is Joe Right's Pride and Prejudice. the acting is good too. specially Pattinson and Stewart look perfect in their roles. and Charlie; who is so similar to the book character in my view.
