Better not to have high expectation.

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2009)

I've never read the novel New Moon so I went to the cinemas with no expectation whatsoever than what I seen in the trailer. So here's in a nutshell.
The Good: The acting is actually better than what most reviewers said. Kristen Stewart did a great job playing a depressed Bella who just got out of a relationship. She really captures the emotion of only someone who has experienced that can know. The only person who is better than her was Dakota Fanning, playing the vampire Jane. She only gets a few minutes of screen time but it was enough to convince me how evil her character is and how good Dakota is.
Next, the CGI was a bit early millennium. But it was adequate.
The storyline itself was engaging. And the whole story was kept well-paced.
The bad: What makes the movie not as good as what the audience expected is because it lost its original formula from Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight. There were less chemistry between the actors. The directing and editing could've been better. It's just the entire atmosphere of the movie seems 'not right'.
Overall: New Moon is a great movie if you haven't yet read the book. If you have, then you might be disappointed.
