A Little more than to be expected

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2009)

So I think we can all agree that Twilight pretty much sucked lard-covered vampire ass. I didn't expect much more from New Moon (aside from having a decent budget this time) especially when I heard Chris Weitz was directing it (The Golden Compass? SERIOUSLY?) But I was actually almost pleasantly surprised. Aside from Edward always having some cheesy line, I'd say every single actor improved. Kristen wasn't a babbling mess, Jackson didn't look *as* pained all the time, and Mike Newton stole every scene he was in.
I also liked how Bella sent emails to Alice instead of thinking Edward Edward Edward all the time, showing that she missed more than just him.
And also a definite plus was that, unlike Twilight, they didn't have so many added in improv scenes saying dumb ass things like "These kind of things don't exist", and the action came in before 80% of the movie was over. I loved the little rumbles.
Now...for the fun part...
There were like 10 minute intervals between questions and answers. I was literally almost to the point of yelling to the screen "SAY IT ALREADY!" They also had the LONGEST and unnecessary conversations where it was basically a lot of repeating and loud breathing.
But whatever, I'm still gonna see the third movie anyway ;P
