disappointingly predictable and lacking substance

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2009)

Twilight:new moon provides the viewer with an eye pleasing cast (especially for the females) that unfortunately give a callous, hard and feeling less performance. The director, Chris Weitz, will do well from this film not due to the quality of the film, as it is non-existent, but only due to the hype it has been given before hand. The long dragged film is all to familiar, pathetically predicable and ordinary. The film is flat and unsubstantial with no twists or turns to be surprised by. Due to the familiar plot the next step can always be predicted accurately before the sequence of events begins. The audiences minds remain dormant throughout this film with no imagination needed and no complexity to think through. Everything is handed to the viewer on a plate and fed straight to them allowing for the audience to sleep through the simplicity of the film.
Who is Bella? she wishes to give her soul for a lifetime of love with the vampire she longs for. Well that is what the story suggests but Kirsten Stweart shows none of this through her act and as for Robert Pattison... I have seen more emotion on the face of a cockroach! Without all the vampires and werewolves this film would have been the simple love story seen so many times and quite probably the better for it however with the vampires the film tries to grow a new dimension. It seems to end up confused between a thriller and a a love story. Unfortunately due to this cross and confusion the film is unnecessarily extensive, slow and to put it bluntly BORING!
