New Moon

No need to worry, No Spoilers!

So one of my co-workers worked magic and got our agency and guests passes to a sneak preview of New Moon. If you don't know what New Moon is just stop reading now :)

First of all the security to get into that theater was tighter than trying to get on an airplane. Seriously. I waited for about 45 min in the cold. Then had to go through a metal detector and have my bag searched and had to swear on my life and my mothers that I DID NOT have a cell phone with me... sheesh.

But It was worth it.

From the moment the title, New Moon popped up on the screen I knew that this second installment was going to be infinitely better than the first movie. Which frankly crossed the line of cheesy on so many levels and was embarrassing.

The action was better
The overall look and feel of the movie had been vastly improved by the higher budget.
Make-up did Bella wonders.
And the story was very well laid out compared with the book.

My only complaints were:
There was way to much music in every scene. There would be one song after the other after the other playing in the background from scene to scene, it got annoying.
There were still some definite cheesy parts but, hey, what are the Twilight movies without it.
They kind of raced through the Voultori part of the movie. Went bye too fast for my liking.

What I did like:
The action scenes. I was impressed.
Dakota Fanning, for the two seconds she was in the movie, she was fantastic!
The side characters (i.e Bella's school friends, Charlie, the Cullen clan) have improved by leaps and bounds. I caught myself laughing throughout the movie by their one liners and overall character improvement.

Oh and... Edward. How can someone who looks so dead be so attractive?

Go see it. You wont be disappointed!

  6. Love the review! I LOVE the books but couldn't make it through the first movie.. it was AWFUL! And I'm SO relieved to hear that the supporting characters were better. That was by far my biggest complaint about the first movie. I honestly wasn't going to go see the second one but you totally talked me into it! And even got me really excited about it! Thanks for the review... and my co-worker, who was threatening to drag me kicking and screaming, thanks you too!
