Okay, so I saw New Moon. It's hard for me to really give this movie a star rating, because there's so many ways to view the movie. If you're a non-Twilight fan, you're probably not going to like the movie. If you're a die-hard Twilight fan with high expectations, you'll probably be disappointed. I went with relatively low exceptions, and was pleasantly surprised.
What I Liked:
1) I liked seeing the story played out. I know a lot of Twilight readers don't like New Moon as much as some of the other books, but I like it just fine.
2) Jacob's abs. (as Bella would say, "holy crow!")
3) The Werewolf CGI. Okay, I know I'll probably be in the minority, but I thought they did just fine.
4) The development of lesser characters. Charlie's a sweetheart. Mike's a dufus. It works.
What I Didn't Like:
1) They rushed things. I know they had to for film sake, but some things - like the whole "Oh, when I said you weren't good for me I was lying" conversation - needed to be drawn out a little more.
2) The dialogue. It was just horrible, lol.
3) That they didn't shave that little bit of hair off of Rob Pattinson's chest. I mean, here you have this vampire that supposed to be the most beautiful thing on earth, and you give him a shirtless scene, and you tell me that you're not going to take a razor to that? Really? Really???
4) Rosalie looked terrible. I know she's supposed to be feeling guilty, but she didn't strike me as a woman who would make me feel inferior just by walking in a room. Esme didn't look good either.
Okay, but now I'm just getting nit-picky.
So anyway, as long as you go with low expectations, I think you'll enjoy yourself. If you haven't read the series, I would suggest doing that first.

LOL, I guess I was so perplexed by the chest hair that I missed the nipple.
I'll tell DH that we have to go and see it again to investigate. lol
