Confused.

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2009)

I wish I could give a rating lower than 5, but 4 seems to low. This movie wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it definitely doesn't deserve the attention it's getting.
I saw New Moon with on the 'advance screening' night with my friends; I wish I didn't. The Twi-hards made it difficult to understand what the characters (particulary those who are male and without shirts) were saying, and the perpetual screaming of pre-pubescent girls is very annoying.
The second time I saw this was the other night, as I'm still unsure about whether I like this movie or not.
Pros (for me)- The cinematography was amazing. The scene with Victoria running through the woods, chased by Jacob and his pack is amazing. Visually.
... Bella's best friend Jessica makes things funny and less awkward.
and that's about it.
Cons- The score isn't that great. It seems like some songs shouldn't be there.
The editing is very abrupt, and if you haven't read the books (although I have), very confusing. A lot was left unexplained.
Awkward. So so awkward. And not in a good way most of the time. The last kiss scene on Bella's birthday is painful to watch.
Taylor Lautner was satisfactory as Jacob, and that's the highest compliment I can give to the main actors.
Why were Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson even hired? There is absolutely no chemistry between them... neither one of them seems to have more than 2 expressions. Do these people have emotions? It seems like the feel of the books is muted. Where is the agonizingly brutal solitude endured by Bella? She just looks bored most of the time, even when she is supposed to be happy.
Did they change the contacts the Cullen's wore? I thought vampires appearances didn't change. Apparently not.
I didn't like the 1st film, but I think I like this one less.
A poor film, and I wont bother editing my comment because there are endless problems with this film that seem too trivial too mention, but I am unsure still how I feel about this.
