The following review may contain moments of satire and SPOILERS. So read at your own risk.
As I sit here on the couch with my laptop, just having returned from a showing of New Moon, I was curious as to what others thought of this adaptation of book to film. I just read through several pages of reviews which I found hilarious.
First off, many of my friends who already attended showings earlier in the week spoke very highly of this film, even having read the book. I also have read the book and I must say, what on earth? The dramatic scenes of this movie were quite boring, yet made for an entertaining evening in ways it should have not. I do not regret spending money on this movie, for the fact that it was so poorly done that I even chuckled at parts which should not have been deemed funny (ie, the unnecessary taking off of the shirt done by Taylor Lautner).
I can see how this film would attract young teen girls. The men were obviously good eye candy, but they provided not much else besides this. I fail to see what Kristen Stewart brings to the screen as well.
I will admit, the film follows the book rather closely. But, I never said the book was that great either.
