Fact: Twilight was better than New Moon

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2009)

I think we can basically state it as a fact that the movie Twilight was MUCH better than New Moon. However, I still think, as a huge Twilight fan, that the movie brings a very close visual of the actual book. There were many parts, such as Bella's relationship with Jacob, that should have been emphasized more. There was no true chemistry between any of the characters and the acting was much too awkward to bring out any true emotions. I personally had goose bumps throughout all of Twilight, but felt nothing during New Moon. The movie did not get to the key cores of the book rather just put a visual on the book.
New Moon is about the pain and suffering a person is left with when losing a loved one. It is about finding comfort and realizing what is truly important in life. Bella literally put her life into Edward and all of the Cullens, and was left with nothing. She had dreams of everlasting love with Edward, which is something every girl in love would only dream of having. Bella is left with a gaping hole in her heart and struggled to find any way to get a sense of happiness again, to a point where she puts herself at risk just to feel Edward's presence. She also finds comfort in Jacob, and their relationship expands and grows during Edward's absence. The misunderstanding between Edward, his sisters, and Jacob causes all the characters to take drastic measure in order to save Edwards life, thus bringing us to new events and a new story.
The real pain and the true emotions are not brought out in the movie, and i believe there were many points in the book were not shown correctly in the movie. I think all Twilight fans were expecting another breath-taking Twilight, but were disappointed. If it weren't for the disappointment, I think the movie was not all that bad. I am very much looking forward to the third movie Eclipse, but definitely no expectations.
