MOVIE REVIEW: New Moon Is A Treat For Fans

The day has finally arrived. After an entire year without Edward Cullen on the big screen, Twilight fans’ prayers have been answered.
New Moon has all the recognizable scenes from the book, but seeing it on the big screen gives audience members one thing Stephenie Meyer didn’t write: screams of delight! Yep, absolute screams of delight at the first glimpse of Taylor Lautner’s shirtless abs.
Watch out Edward, seeing Jacob Black with his newly buff body was more than the ladies in the audience could handle!

As expected, the one thing we missed in the movie was substantial Edward and Bella time. Still, a gorgeous (and shirtless) Pattinson in Italy and their few brief embraces and kisses filled in some of the gap near the end.
We are already counting down to next summer’s release of Eclipse!
