1...2...OuT!

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2009)

First, lets agree, Twilight deviated from the book too much. Unfortunately, while holding "more" to the book, New Moon does a poor job of telling the story.
Too much time and effort is spent on the effects of the werewolves, and those are out of date by at least 4 years.
Not to mention the fact, that an inserted fight scene CoMpLeTeLY destroys Edwards advantage in a fight, how does a person that can tell what move your going to make before you do, get defeated so easily, and why would a person that can "see" what will happen from a decision choose to wait to stop a fight from occurring? As a whole, this movie has no heart. Sure there are plenty of "romantic" scenes, but either through poor acting, poor scripting, or lack of setup, every scene leaves you feeling...nothing. I mean really, you have a special effects director, directing new actors, in a Romance movie, does anyone else smell disaster? May I point out that I have read the entire published series several times, love the books, but am now entirely turned off of the movies. I will probably see Eclipse, just to see if another director can do anything better, but it probably wont be on opening day. Who knows, maybe I'll stay home and read the books again.
