I already want to see it again.


Okay so last year I reviewed Twilight here and I was completely honest that I am way biased. They could probably just air random footage of Rob & Kristin staring longingly at each other and I'd give it two thumbs up. Having said that, I think New Moon was actually fantastic!! I think every aspect of the movie improved since Twilight- the acting, the makeup, the special effects- everything. I thought I would miss Edward throughout the movie because I am pretty hardcore Team Edward (haha, lame!!) but I was completely enthralled with Jacob & Bella. I even found myself feeling badly for the smelly dog. haha!! I honestly didn't expect much-- New Moon wasn't my favorite out of the four books, but I was pleasantly surprised.

There were two scenes in particular that took my breath away- I won't give away too many details because I don't want to post any spoilers, but near the beginning of the movie they manage to capture a part of the book so perfectly that I instantly teared up. Fantastic. The final scene was the other one that was so perfect to me. LOVED IT!!!

Yup, right there with you. Significant improvement cinematically. However, I still feel that Taylor Lautner is the weakest link acting-wise, so a film that revolved around his character didn't do much for me. Granted, New Moon was my least favorite of the books. There were many moments that I loved and obviously the special effects, wardrobe, makeup, etc., were a million times better than Twilight. But I like the Twilight STORY better, so the Twilight film is still my favorite. Also, the soundtrack was seriously disappointing. Twilight's soundtrack was so strong, and there wasn't a single memorable track for New Moon. Sad face. ;-(
