not horrible but twilight was better

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2009)

being a huge twilight fan my self and yes i have read all the books i came into new moon knowing that it was most likely going to be the worst movie from the series. my prediction was true as the book was very dull to read compared to the others that kept me on my toes at all times. anyway for the review..
the movie wasn't a complete waste of time the acting was good. i just didn't like Robert in this movie even before the "split" happens he is still way to depressed. Kristen acted her part well playing the depressed mopey mess that Bella was in this sequel but the top actor in this movie was Taylor with a very well understood character and an outstanding performance in my opinion. didn't like the fact that they made him take his shirt off at every possible moment but that's a teenage based romance for you.
the directing was the down point to this movie. concentrating mostly on the effects and not the actual storyline. one of the secondary characters die in this movie yet in the book the way he died was different. also there were some pretty corny scenes chucked in as well which kind of ruined the mood. Bella in a white dressed running along side Edward both glittering in the sun while at the same time Bella is in a very tense situation. timing needed to be better.
overall its a good film definitely worth the money but i still wonder whether it was a good idea having a new director bought in because in my opinion the first movie with such a low budget was excellent focused only on the acting and the storyline this movie is playing on effects and cheap comedy chucked in there at different times.
