Fantastic!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2009)

Firstly, I'd like to say, 4.2? Are you kidding me? What's wrong with people these days? *Twilight* got a better review than that! Why is it that the "life-changing" boring movies receive 8s and 9s and get nominated for Oscars, and the actual entertaining ones get 4s and wouldn't even see the Oscars? If you have seen it and don't like it, that's one thing, but if this is concerning the sudden hatred of the Twilight craze, could the people who haven't even seen New Moon and decide, "let's all get together and try to get New Moon's rating to one star!", please grow up?
There, I let my anger out. Now, to my review.
As a fan of the Twilight Saga, I was very excited to see New Moon at midnight, before America might I add (I'm from Australia). I hoped that it would be better than Twilight (I didn't exactly "hate" the first movie, I was merely disappointed). I knew that Chris Weitz was a much better director than Catherine Hardwicke (meaning better special effects etc) and Taylor Lautner would be featured a whole lot more than Robert Pattinson (obviously I'm Team Jacob). Plus, New Moon is my favourite book out of the four in the saga. And I definitely wasn't disappointed with this movie. For starters, Taylor was so much more enjoyable to watch, even dismissing the fact that I favour him over Robert and that he displayed is 8 pack for half of the film. All I'm going to say is that I'm SO GLAD they didn't replace him :) I'm also really thankful that they didn't cut out any significant parts. Obviously they couldn't include *every* detail, the movie would go for 4 hours or something. The special effects were amazing! The wolves actually looked like wolves and the fight scene in Volterra was incredible! Thank Mr Chris Weitz for that. The humour was a nice touch, but it wasn't overwhelming, which is a good thing for New Moon. These are just some of the reasons why New Moon was so great, and might I add a lot more impressive than Twilight, so impressive that I can't even decide if I like the book or the film better (trust me, the movie must be pretty good to do that). Please ignore the critics who give New Moon bad reviews, I trust that you will be pleasantly surprised with this film.
