Review: New Moon Movie

New Moon was 100x better than Twilight.  Chris Weitz did a wonderful job sticking to the book.  Catherine Hardwicke disappointed many of the Twilight fans by changing many of the scenes from the book into the movie.  The Twilight movie was rushed and it showed in the movie.  The special effects were cheesy and acting was poor.  The Cullen family was in at least 2 scenes, which was disappointing.  They really should have developed the friendship between Alice and Bella in Twilight because in New Moon they "magically" became best friends and are buddy-buddy when in Twilight there was barely any interaction between them at all.

Weitz did a great job cleaning up the mess that Hardwicke left behind.  Taylor Lautner did a fantastic job.  And I'm not saying that because he's "hot"! He did a wonderful job portraying Jacob's emotions and his friendship with Bella.  Kristen Stewart improved from the previous movie.  Before, her acting akward and stiff. Painfully obvious that she was nervous. Now, she seems to act more freely and confident. 

Robert Pattinson improved minimally since the last movie.  No matter how high your status is in the unstable world of fame, your acting has to improve or people will see that you stink and your career in acting will fall apart.  And you have to wonder, maybe this movie was better because Pattinson wasn't in it as much as he was in Twilight? I mean, come on, we all know that looking through his "hotness" and his accent, his acting is poor.  The one movie I've scene that his acting was pretty good was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Overall, it was pretty good.  It was a bit long, but, of course, her books are pretty large. . .

(8/10)
