Oh my gosh...so amazing!!!

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2009)

I went and saw the movie last night at midnight and I was not disappointed. In fact, all these bad reviews I'm reading are kind of making me nauseous. I think this movie deserves so much more praise then it's been getting, and I want everyone to see it.
I've read all the books, and am a huge fan (obviously) and New Moon is my favorite book. That being said, I can't find one thing that I was disappointed in, except that it could have been longer so it could have had more detail, so obviously I didn't feel it was too long, or slow. I loved twilight...in a "this is so horrible it's ridiculous kind of way," but I still love it...just because it's twilight. As for New Moon, I can genuinely say I love this movie because it's good. Of course it still has its cheesy moments, but that can be expected (i mean just read the books) but it's nothing compared to twilight. The writing is so much better, the acting, the fact that this movie has color, the score, pretty much everything is 100% better. I'm amazed that people actually want the old crew back. it's so obvious to me now that catherine had way too much control over twilight...because people who are normally good actors, weren't, and composers who normally write brilliant music, wrote cheesy 80s electric guitar music.
Don't get me wrong, this movie is still a "twilight" movie, and I'm not suggesting it should be up for an Oscar. But compared to twilight it's just so much better. Go see it, and see it with an open mind. It really is good, and if you've already seen it and were disappointed...maybe you should go see it again. Maybe it was the late hour, or maybe it was the fact that you were frozen from standing outside in a line for an hour and a half (as was my case) but something was obviously wrong. I don't know how anyone could not like this movie 100 times more than twilight.
... I think I just realized why I liked the movie so much. I went expecting it to be just as cheesy as twilight, and was pleasantly surprised. all the parts in the trailers that my friends and i made fun of, weren't as cheesy in the actual movie. We were constantly leaning over to each other saying, "oh...that wasn't half as bad as they made it sound in the trailer." but apparently people actually thought twilight was a well-made, non-hoaky movie...so maybe this tactic won't work for everyone...
