New Moon review

I really bet that A wished he hadn't owed me a chic flick. Because I finally cashed in. We saw New Moon on Saturday.

First, let me start off by saying that I am not Twilight crazed. I read the series a year ago and enjoyed them. That's it.

I was curious to see if this movie was going to be any better than the first one. Because let's be honest - Twilight could have been done a lot better.













This movie was done better. The acting was better, and it definitely looked like they had more of a budget this time around.

Here were my issues though:

It was too long.

Parts were incredibly too slow.

They had a hard task, because this was a depressing book. And had they left all of the suicidal banter from the book in the movie, I would still probably be sitting there. So yes, I can tell that they tried.

A was bored out of his mind. I don't really blame him. The only reason I wasn't completely was because I knew the story. I already had a connection with the characters. But I was uncomfortable sitting there for 2 and a half hours.

I had forgotten, since it has been a while since I read through the books, how much of a Jacob fan I am. I don't care what all those Team Edward people say. Jacob is so much better for Bella. Plus, he's a big puppy dog! I found myself getting pissed at the end when she leaves Jacob, after all those near make-out sessions for Edward, without even really an explanation.

Edward, you are an idiot. You don't deserve her.

"But I did it because I love her. I was trying to protect her."

Can it, buster. She should be with Jacob.

"Edward, I want you to change me NOW!"

Shut the fuck up, Bella. You're dumb.

Yes, I will be seeing the other two movies when they come out. They've got me. I'm just curious enough to hand over my money.

I give this film 3 imaginary stars.

  1. First, thank you for posting three entires! YAY! Second, I am glad to hear you have also read the books and love them. I read all of them way before they even were thinking of making a movie. Thirdly and lastly, I am very glad to hear that this movie is better than the first, even if 2 and a half hours is long and I agree it is, because the first movie sucked big hairy donkey balls. It made no sense and covered none of the bases. Had you not read Twilight you wouldnt have the slightest idea what the hell was going on. Love ya Les.
