I would just like to start off by saying that I have read all the books and seen Twilight and New Moon.
I saw New Moon when it came out (i saw the midnight premiere) and thought the movie was pretty good. I believe it met my expectations. But my brother, who is not a fan, told me about all the reviews that were on this website and I don't agree with most of them. Until I came to one that made a great point. If you like it "Yay", if not than "Yay for you too".
Yes, the movie did lack some of the books important points (like the flight home from Italy and the grand theft auto of the infamous porsche) and Rosalie did look like crap. But what really bothered me was the over-criticism this movie has gotten. So what if the vampires shimmer instead of turning to ash and so what if they want to be "vegetarian". Vampires ARE NOT real. So Stephanie Meyer has every right to make vampires however she thought fit. And to be honest I'm glad this wasn't another cheesy dungeon and coffin vampire story. Or one where the vampires jump around in leather suits wearing sunglasses all the time. More power to someone who wanted to take a different outlook on the traditional, FICTIONAL, boring vampire.
I think the actors did a good job and I like all of Kristin Stewart's movies. So I knew what to expect. And on another note, Bella is supposed to be emotionless. Someone she loved just left her. I'm sure most people have experienced heartache. Yes, even you men. Now I'm not a teeny bopper so I don't take the story so literal, but why criticize Bella so much for Edward leaving her. It's fiction, that's those people's fault for believing that all men are that way. And that all relationships are that controlling over a human. If anyone had really read the book, they would have gotten the story and why the movie was the way it was.
I do hope that Eclipse is better in some aspects. But each one is supposed to be uniquely different than the other. So I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one.
