Short report on New Moon:

[alexandral]

Update: as according to IMDB, New Moon broke the opening-day gross record, collecting 73 million in USA. mamma mia! The world is coming to an end!

- Once again, it wasn't the worst film of all times, and it was even better than "Twilight"
- Edward is still creepifyingly morose, and Robert Pattinson still can't act to save his life. He so visibly hates every moment of this film and Bella in particular, and thinks of how he hates it all when doing tender kissing scenes. This produces very amusing effects.
- Good special effects work on wolves and human/wolf transformation
- Taylor Lautner is a very good choice for Jacob.
- The scene with Volturi was really good , as if implanted from another, much better film. Michael Sheen is rather awesome as Aro.
- The scene of Laurent's death (although very short) was rather good too.

- Every time Jacob took his shirt off (and he did this often) the movie theatre went crazy.

You know, I have my issues with both Edward and Jacob in the books. I don't think I'd like either of them very much, but just going on looks? I will never understand how Bella could have picked creepy, corpse-like Edward Cullen over Jacob and those machine guns he has for arms now.

Hahahaha! I sort of agree. Not to that extent as you, but yeah, he did seem too pained. Kristen's coldness didn't help that either. They had zero chemistry this time around. All their kisses seemed so passionless.

Unfortunately, as much as I didn't mind Lautner at some points, the storyline of the middle part of the movie was just so boring. It reminded me of HBP, the way one waited for something to happen, but nothing ever did.

Says a lot that to me the best scene in the movie involved a minor character. Victoria, I'm talking to you, you fierce thing!

He has a nice set of abs and some wonderfully built arms...

Heee. I've read several reviews saying that Jacob's bare chest is the film's only redeeming feature...

Was there any explanation of what evil force posessed him to cut his hair? He and his hair people were the only redeeming part of the first film for me.

hahaha, this might be the one and only reason why such a movie could be worth to be watched :D I am not a Twilight person at all, but I've watched a few bits and pieces due to the 24/7 promotion all around, and gosh, I think Kristen Stewart is probably the worst and less appealing actress ever!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

the one and only reason I would ever watch New Moon.

But I think you just convinced me to watch it in theatres instead of on DVD. (too bad I can't fastforward through the Robert Pattinson scenes, but whatever)

You know, I try to ignore all the Twilight mania, but...it is EVERYWHERE. *sighs*

Not that this post counts. 'Cos, arm porn! :D

YES!! I watched Twilight with two of my girl friends several weeks ago and we were laughing hysterically at Edward. I kept going, "Ouch...School" or "Ouch...Car" depending on where he was when he made his "hate face."

Hmm, you are the second person to say this movie was decent enough or better.

I was going to wait until the DVD came out but now I think I may watch it in the theaters.
