Twilight Saga New Moon - My Thoughts on the Movie

SPOILER ALERT!!!



I've really been looking forward to watching New Moon and finally got a chance to do so tonight and now that I have I'm a little disappointed.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate it but it just felt a little bit amateur, parts of it were clumsily done and I don't feel the director brought out the best in the actors.
In parts it was extremely cheesy (Alice's vision of Bella turning into a vampire for example) and a found myself, and most of the other viewers giggling at parts that were not meant to be funny.

Special effect were mixed, while the parts with the wolves were brilliantly executed and created a realistic vision of what a giant angry wolf should look like they seemed to struggle with the green screen in the more simpler scenes, whatch it and you'll know what I mean.
Sparkling Edward is back (didn't look good the first time and the second round is no better) and he's brought a friend who my sister like to call "Eggward".
This is probably the stupidest thing in the movie, in the fight with the Volturi Edwards gets slammed to the ground and his cheek forms a crack in it only for it to heal seconds later, I have one question, why? Skin that looks and feels like marble, check, skin that cracks and then magically seals itself back together, err no.

Last but not least the make-up, who the hell decided to make The Cullens look so scary? The super white foundation that kinda makes the look a little grey, the super red lips, and the freaky orange contacts they wear, it's like they looked at Twilight and kicked it up a notch and not in a good way.

Enough of the bad parts and on to the good parts.

The breakup scene was perfect, they really couldn't have done a better job, so were all the scenes with the wolves and the scene in the cinema.
Ashley Green's perfomance as Alice was spot on, (it always is) and Taylor Lautner was excellent as Jacob (and not just because he looks amazing).
The Volturi were just as I'd immagined them to be, very creepy and Jane is the scariest of them all.

All in all I prefer Twilight but I can't say I'm suprised, New Moon is also my least favourite book out of the saga but I was hoping the movie would change my mind.

One thing that did surprise me is that by the end of the movie I'd swapped teams, I've always very much been Team Edward all the way, I've read all 4 books and always felt Bella was better suited to him but having watched New Moon I've swapped my vote to Team Jacob.
So I'm gonna end this with a question.
Which team are you and as it changed after watching New Moon?

New Moon - The Wait Is Almost Over

I cannot tell everyone how much I've been looking forward to New Moon, I've literally been counting down the days and driving everyone nuts about it,
it came out this Friday but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet becuse of work so I'll be going with my sister on Tuesday evening and I cannot contain my excitment.
I've already seen the reviews and they all pretty much say it's better than Twilight, I absolutely loved Twilight in both book and movie form but the New Moon book still remains my least favourite in the series so I'm intrigued to see how the film as turned out.
The trailers look amazing especially the scenes with the wolves, Taylor Lautner looks amazing and the special effects look a lot better than last time, anyone remember glittering Edward?
I hate the way they have one the Cullens make-up, I know they are vampires and they are supposed to be pale but they are literally whiter than white, they actually look like they are dead which kinda defeats the purpose since they are supposed to blend in with the real world.
As opposed to looking amazingly beautiful they kinda look a little scary and the too red lips don't help either, it just makes them look like they have windburn.
Bad make-up aside I'm still very much looking forward to Tuesday.

Twilight: Is anyone else looking forward to New Moon?

I can berely wait so much so that I've watched all the trailers a million times, spent hours looking at pictures, re-watched the 1st movie, played the soundtrack on repeat and I've even done my make-up like Bella's and worn the same color lipstick as the Cullens (Benefits Ms. Behaving if your wondering however I don't have that yet so I'm making do with MAC's Kirsch mixed with balm).
I can honestly say I'm counting down the days until New Moon is released and I'll be there first in the que on the 27th of November, I'll even go as far as request that day off work, nothing is stopping me from watching it.
Anyone else feel the same way?
