New Moon = Better Movie

I have never read the books (nor will I ever) and I didn't really care for the first one. The acting in the first one was beyond terrible and Kristen Stewart is just a depressing teenager, I can hardly stand it. So I saw this movie because I didn't want to see "The Blind Side" because I knew it was just like every other true story sports movie.
This movie is infinitely better than the first movie. Yes, the acting is still pretty bad (though not nearly as bad as the first one) but I think the main reason why I like it is because of the Taylor Lautner dude. He is a stud (unlike Edward). The action is good the pacing is good and the twists are good. It actually really made me want to see the 3rd one.
I would choose this teen flick over any predictable, un artistic drama out right now. So, if you don't know what to watch and can accept some bad acting then you might want to grab some popcorn. I probably would have given this movie a higher rating but I just couldn't....
