That's true, but not forget that the books and the movies are VAMPIRE books and movies... with werewolves in them. And by the reasons very well explained by others members of the forum, if I ever watch the movies it will be considering them as teenage-vampire movies with good effects and so. I have nothing against vampire movies with wolf shapeshifters on them...

LOL, check out that scene and the reaction of the crowd in the cinema at the end:

it's a scene where Bella and that other vampire chick want to stop Cullen from committing a suicide...

Wow I saw this movie and I gotta see it again!!! I might try to read the book again also. Great movie. Glad I saw it

I enjoyed New Moon. Gotta feel for the actors though. They all seem to be handling the level of uber stardom level headedly though. I don't know if I could do that. All these screaming girls confusing the real me with the character. I do have to say I really think that it is funny that people, mags, celebs keep referring to Taylor as a WEREWOLF, as opposed to the guy playing a werewolf. Even R.Patz doesn't get called the Vampire Robert Pattison... :p

...edward leaving i think...cant remember its in the book though

Even in the book series, Stephenie chose to allow her werewolves or "Shape-Shifters" to retain their human eyes... or I should say eye color, as a means to show their inner humanity. In the book, "New Moon" for example when Bella sees the large russet wolf for the first time in the meadow, it's eyes eeriely remind her of Jacob Black's. She's already making the connection, even though she doesn't realize that her best friend IS the russet wolf protecting her from the vampire.

The movie does a fantastic job for this part, buy showing Bella's frigthened expression mirrored back into the wolf's concerned eye. The wolf almost looks saddened by her expression, before getting its mind redirected to stop the vampire.

My sister liked it.

Then again, I'm not surprised.
It is, afterall, aimed at HER age group specifically.

I think she's excited...

Holy Crap. Please never do that to me again.

It would be a lie to say I was dragged kicking and screaming into the theater to watch this screeching abomination, but if the glove fits I definitely killed it with thermonuclear fire. Or would if given the opportunity. I'll admit was actually kind of looking forward to this film. Sure the werewolves looked a bit dopey and I was at serious risk of having my eardrums ruptured by shrieking fangirls, but it had been a while since I had had a good laugh at the expense of a sparkling vampire refrigerator. I will say that it’s not utterly heinous and completely vile, borderline offensive in it’s awfulness as the “Movie Movies� series is, or a film made by Uwe Boll. Or either of the Halloween remakes for that matter. Still, that's no excuse really, I'm not sure if the joke wore thin after the original Twilight or if this just isn't as funny, but either way I was highly disappointed. I didn't laugh once during the entire film. It wasn't particularly terrible, it was competently directed and most of the actors did their best. The soundtrack was fairly listless but after the first one I expected nothing less. Compared to the first one the fight scenes in this film weren't that bad actually. I'll be the first to admit that it had it's merits, Ashley Greene for one.

Hot damn.

So, my two cents. You want "post modern" vampires? Watch Daybreakers. You want a real vampire romance story? Watch.... I don't know, Bram Stoker's Dracula? Let the Right One In? 30 Days of Night? Why do vampires need to be shoehorned into the romance genera? In fact, why do werewolves need to be shoehorned into the romance genera?

What exactly is sexy about monsters who shed their humanity at night to feed on human prey?
