New Moon Review

I am sure to say that every Twilight Obsessed teenager reading this will already know the plot line of this movie. For those of you who aren't TwiHard Fanatic then you probably already know the plot line becuase of the Twilight Obsessed teenagers so I don't see the point in posting it. I'll just skip ahead and go right to my thoughts.

I'm so looking forward to sinking my teeth into this review (geddit, geddit hahaha) as I saw the film today. Where to start. I'll have to split this up into different sections...

I can VERY easily say that New Moon was so much better than Twilight. I was shocked to see that it had been given worse reviews from critics when it was blatantly better in every aspect. The acting was SO much better than the first film except for Edward. Bella improved just a smidgen because she didn't move as awkwardly, blink as much or breath as heavily as she did in Twilight. Jacob was also great too and I'm really pleased he played a bigger part in the film. I guess I'm almost glad that Edward didn't appear in the film as much because if he had mumbled like he did at the start of the film all the way through it, I would have left the cinema. I literally could not understand a word he said. What, were his fangs getting in the way or something? That seriously bugged me at the start. I thought the werewolf tribe were also a great thing to happen to the film and I'm happy that Alice played a bigger role too.

I thought that the directing of New Moon was also better than Twilight. Firstly, I didn't have to watch the whole thing in a blue and green tint! It was so much brighter and more colourful and I think much easier to watch. The characters weren't wandering around aimlessly the whole time like they were in Twilight and they seemed to take control of every scene, like they should. The script also dramatically improved. It didn't hold ridiculous and multiple cringe-worthy lines like "You better hold tight spider monkey!" I mean what was that?! That line made out right laugh my head off when I heard Edward say it to Bella as they power climbed up a tree. Enough said. The script was also much funnier, which is what I think the films needed after being so depressing and did I mention blue and green!

I actually quite enjoyed New Moon. Because I've never read the books (shocker!) I can't really compare them. I didn't really understand what that Jane person was doing (she was just a little bit creepy) and I didn't really understand why that Mike person wanted to go out with Bella when he was dating Jessica who was totally bogging Bella out for the few scenes she was in before Mike asked her out. It's probably really obvious but I still don't get it.

I give this film 4/5
