Everyone knows that sequels are never as good as the first movie; New Moon is a bad example of this. The first and the second movie both sucked, no pun intended. The main reason Twilight did so well wasn’t because it was an amazing movie, but because of the book it was made after. The Twilight series is a wonderful series, full of wonder and adventure as well as hopelessness and sadness. Over all the books are an enjoyable series. The movies don’t do them justice what-so-ever. The books are New York Times best sellers and the movies frankly belong in the five dollar bend at Wal-Mart. New Moon sets off where Twilight left off. The happy ever after that once again gets interrupted. But this time instead of a blood crazy sociopath James going after her, it’s her one true love Edward who destroys their happy ever after. He leaves her, and for the dumbest reason! He wants to protect her. Instead of protecting her he breaks down her fragile mental walls and she goes into a deep depression. Honestly Edward did more harm than good. Months after Edward leaves Bella starts to movie on when she meets Jacob, who she’s met before but hasn’t ever really gotten to know. Bella starts to develop a relationship with him, when things once again go wrong with her life. The best actor by far in the movie I believe is Jacob. The Twilight movies being his actual first real movie I think he is doing well. He even buffed up to fit his part. He is a truly committed actor who deserves more recognition for his part in the movie; because bluntly I don’t believe that the movie would have been as good without him. He picked up the slack of both the Robert Pattinson and Kristine Steward. Most critic’s fellow in the same thinking I am. The movies suck and need a lot of work, maybe even new actors hint hint Kristine Steward. The only reason I went to the movies is because I read the books so I am committed to them in a way. If you have read the books I think you should see the movies so that you can compare them to the books. However if you haven’t read the books don’t see the movies, it’s a waste of money and time.

The thing about movies that are based off of books never ever seem to be as good as the books. I have had family and a countless number of friends who don't even go to the movies for that same reason. A bad thing is that more and more movies are becoming book novel related movies, making just about half the movies in the theater a book or novel. Examples are the twilight series, Harry Potter, The Notebook, and finally Narnia is another too. I have never really been interested in novelty books, and I have always loved the moves though. I do believe that the reason the books are so much more loved is because they go into more detail than the movies and plus they always have way more that goes on in the boom that most of the time movies take out. I would have to agree that if you are reading a novel book you should not watch the movie.
