A perfect movie. Didn't like it at first because of jacob, and because it was so down and i was watching to get happy and i got even more depressed lol, but now i see it with different eyes. I love this movie. The director nailed it, and the soundtrack is AMAZING, as Robert Pattinson said, it was ahead of it's time. Kristen Stewart's acting was on point. She portraied very well a depressive character. The best characterizarion was in this movie. 10000/10
This movie is a disgrace to Twilight fans. I was surprisingly impresssed with the first one, but I was extremely disappointed with this one. I was not at all impressed with the over all feel of the movie. I blame that on the director switch. I felt that in the first one all of the actors did an outstanding job of bringing their characters to life, but that dropped with NewMoon. If it wasn't for the fact that every girl/woman in the country can't keep their eyes off him, I'm pretty sure Lautner would be fired - his acting is almost amusing. Overall the whole movie is pretty cheesy, I felt like I was watching one of those online spoofs, rather than the real thing. Don't waste your time with this film.
The storyline is all over the place, with numerous unresolved subplots sprouting out of thin air and being left hanging (presumably to be resolved in future movies).
Let's just say it: It's great there's a movie that makes teenage girls scream. Half the movies Hollywood makes are designed to make teenage boys scream, and those boy movies are just as ridiculous and a lot nastier than New Moon.
Wait--what? People are upset??
Ahh, what a fickle bunch Twilight fans are. I remember the release of the first film last year, and the incredible backlash from fans of the series--can't even remember the number of comments saying "Stick to the book!" Incredible liberties were taken with the plot (or did we all forget the butchering of the much-beloved meadow scene in the first movie?), and too much of Hardwicke's own film-making style was imposed upon a story that was not hers to fiddle with.
Then New Moon comes out. Obviously, the screenwriter and director went to great lengths to painstakingly recreate the second book in film form, undoubtedly due to the response to Twilight. I am hard-pressed to think of any really pivotal plot points that were excluded from this film (and, no, the flights to and from Italy don't qualify as "pivotal"). But suddenly fans come out in droves to complain on the Internet that the dialogue is cheesy? Hello, have you READ the books? Any actor is going to choke on the ridiculous dialogue that Stephenie Meyer came up with (I doubt even Robert De Niro could sell that tripe). Her dialogue only sounds remotely reasonable on the page. At least this movie didn't include such horrendous lines as "I hated you for making me want you so much"). And people saying it's slow? Again, take a look at the book--the vast majority of the story is devoted to Bella moping over the imaginary hole in her chest. It wasn't exactly an action-packed thrill ride.
I for one thought this movie was a vast improvement over the first, primarily because it stayed so true to the book. And Weitz, unlike Hardwicke, wasn't itching to impose his own style on the story by using crazy camera angles and other weird stylistic elements that were nowhere suggested in the pages of Twilight. New Moon was fittingly glossy and stylistically neutral, appealing to a wider range of tastes. It was filmed beautifully and, to my great relief, had a much wider color palette than the first film.
As for the acting--let's face it, Kristen's never going to be an impressive performer until she realizes that scoffing doesn't qualify as "emoting." And Rob just seems flat-out wrong for this role, but I think he did tap into Edward's inner turmoil better than in Twilight. I thought the performances were, overall, a huge improvement over the first film, especially from Taylor, who fits the sunshiney role of Jacob to a T. The Cullens were, yes, sadly underutilized, but making the movie longer just to give them more screen time isn't going to appease complaints about it being boring and slow as it is.
Hopefully this film will get the credit it deserves after the initial tsunami of unreasonable outrage. It's obvious that the filmmakers are trying incredibly hard to please the fans of the book by staying closer to the text. Here's hoping they don't throw up their hands in frustration upon discovering that loyalty to the book is apparently not good enough either.
New Moon is better than the first in every way ...
As I always say I do not like Twilight for its silly story, masa must say that this movie is good, anyway the budget is higher, the effects have not improved, excess makeup over the interpretation of Robert ta better, but Kristen continues ridiculous Michael Sheen is brilliant and one of the highest points of the film is the great soundtrack and art direction
Horrendous bore . The follow up to the somber chill of Twilight is a wet dog scented trudge. Bella and Jacob share 0 chemistry and Edwards melodramatic gesture is wholly unnecessary.
Okay, so after I reviewed the first Twilight which I find it to be absolutely god-awful surprisingly so I decided to watch and review the second Twilight film which is called The Twilight Saga from now on called The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Whilst I decided to, I will give my thoughts on the entire pentalogy which I've never heard of the term before so I gotta get on point with them so let's stop p***ing about and let's get on with it. On Bella's 18th birthday she wakes up from a dream where she is an old woman and Edward Cullen. His family host a birthday reception for her. Whilst Bella had a paper cut Jasper is overwhelmed by the scent of her blood, he decides to attack her but is restrained. Edward believes that he and his family are putting Bella's life in danger so he decides to end their relationship and he and the Cullens leave Forks. For months, Bella is depressed and isolated. She meets with Jacob Black played by Taylor Lautner and they develop a strong friendship. Okay, now I can get to my problems here with it, not just because I don't like the film but just because this movie took directions and making it a complete mess. When Edward leaves Bella and depart from Forks, he did that to protect her and told her not to do anything reckless and he won't interrupt her what so ever. What does he do? He interrupts her to keeping from trouble and danger. Jeez, you just told her that she can move on without any interference from you. Jesus Christ, why don't you just f**k off? I think you know all the rest of what's going on when it comes to me doing these movies, 'cause this whole saga never ends. The Twilight Saga: New Moon, it ****, I'm on to the next one, bye.
