New Moon movie has from the book that work:
Twilight scribe Melissa Rosenberg faced an enormous challenge adapting Stephenie Meyer’s 500+ page novel for the screen, but it’s clear that the filmmakers chose to remain steadfastly faithful to Meyer’s book. (Perhaps to a fault, considering the reviews.) Still, for fans, New Moon should feel just authentic enough to drive it toward an enormous opening weekend. So how do Rosenberg’s additions, changes, and omissions from the text affect New Moon on film, and which ones work the best?

Way more shirtless boys!
We all hoped to get a glimpse of Edward’s alabaster chest in Volterra, but who knew we’d get to see so much hot werewolf skin? Thankfully, the Wolf Pack run such high temperatures and explode away their clothes so frequently that cut-off jeans and no shirt are their shared ensemble of choice.

Ok in the book Jacob knows it’s Edward on the phone, but says it’s Carlisle, then Alice tells Bella
i agreee with all of those
but i cant say im glad for all of them
oh well they got as close to the book as they could get. obviously u would have to scrape a little off the edges.
its kinda weird though, when you WANT kristen to be vibrant and happy in Twilight, shes depressed, and when you want her to be depressed in New Moon, shes all vibrant and happy. SHEESHH.
I agree with these and I think they work in the movie my only problem is when Bella hits Paul. I do think it worked in the movie but it’s not a good way to set up Eclipse. She breaks her hand in Eclipse because she punches Jacob…Why wouldn’t Paul have the same effect?? Like I said it works for New Moon but it’s not a good way to set up that scene in Ecplise.
omg ALYSSA thats actually so true haha
In the book Edward talks about Carlisle in Twilight Not in New Moon.
I FOR ONE WAS DISSAPOINTED IN THE MOVIE-GLAD I WENT TO A MATINEE AND NOT PAY FULL PRICE! AS MANY SCENES THAT WERE ADDED (and not in the book) THEY COULD HAVE PUT THE SCENES THEY CUT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT TO THE RELATIONSHIP—YES, THE MOVIES AREN’T LIKE THE BOOKS BUT I THINK MELISSA ROSENBERG DID A CHOPPY JOB TRYING TO PIECE BITS HERE AND THERE AND MOST SCENES RAN INTO EACH OTHER AND THE ENDING—OMG, HOPE STEPHANIE DOESN’T COP OUT ON ECLIPSE OR BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!
I liked all the changes from the book to the movie except The one were Jacob yells at mike newton at the movie thearter
I was also disappointed in the movie mainly due tp the poor direction from Mr. Weitz of the characters and perhaps Ms. Rosenburg’s screen play. They definitely missed the bus! The passion and the urgency was somehow missing as it did not measure up to the book, especially the departing scene with Bella and Edward. Alice is such a catalyst to the story and, yet she was not provided the opportunity to really carry her involvement off. After all Bella and Edward went through in Italy, there was no continuation of the return home. Rosalie’s remorse of the role she played in causing all of it as well as the airport scene should have been included to bring closure to the Italy ordeal. Jacob’s performance was pretty good overall, but what was that ridiculous display at the movie theatre or even keeping that whole scenario in the movie??? Total waste of film and time. I hope that Eclipse and Breaking Dawn meet the high standards of the books. As a true Twilight Saga fan, I am looking forward to move past New Moon and trust that directors of the next (2) films won’t miss their bus!
None of the movies will ever be the same as the books but what I’ve realized is if the movies were EXACTLY the same as the books then they wouldn’t be that interesting I mean think about it, the same lines, the same setting whoever had read the book before they watched the movie would know exactly what would happen next. You can never get it perfectly right but changing it up a bit and adding in some new things is how it’s supposed to be. I thought Chris Weits did great and the best he could.
I found the movie good accept for the ending, that was one thing I didn’t expect!
