On Friday, November 20 the wait for the extremely highly anticipated second instalment in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, finally hit theatres. Then that day passed. Then several hours went by. Then I saw it.
That being said, I'm not exactly what you would call a Twilight fan. I'll admit the story is good but anything that takes everything cool about vampires and makes it sparkle isn't really my cup of tea.
Now for all the Twi-Hards, (who have more than likely already seen this movie at least once) New Moon will be a huge breath of fresh air. Everything that was horrible about Twilight is almost completely fixed. Except, of course, the unfixable: Kristen Stewart still plays Bella. But even she did a little better.
Bella and Edwards relationship is still almost nonexistant. They still have no onscreen chemistry and I never felt for a second like what Edward is willing to put himself through for her is really worth it.
But Kristen and Taylor Lautner had great chemistry. Their scenes were totally believable.
The visuals were great. The wolves looked fantastic. Watching the trailer I thought they just looked like normal wolves but after seeing the movie we see that they're much cooler than that.
Acting wise, everyone was pretty great. Taylor Lautner was great and for the short time he was in it, Robert Pattinson was also really good. Again really the only drawback to this movie was Kristen Stewarts acting and the relatinship between Bella and Edward.
Overall this movie was far far far better than Twilight, everything was improved upon. The visuals and the script were good. And its always great in a movie like this to hear the crowd get into it, I love that.
Oh and I've always been on "Team Edward" (not that its a huge deal to me) and this movie has confirmed that.
Let me know what you thought of New Moon?
