shocking

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2009)

I don't know how everyone can think it was such a bad movie but we all have our opinions. I guess I'm not a hard critic. In my opinion a good movie is one that makes me feel like I'm apart of it. I get emotional with the characters and can connect with them. New Moon did all of that and more. It exceeded my expectations. I read the books and love all of them. New Moon wasn't particularly my favorite... I am team Edward all the way but this movie actually made me consider team Jacob for a second. I thought Taylor Lautner did a phenomenal job portraying everyones favorite werewolf. I thought him and Kristen did a fantastic job showing Jacob and Bella's relationship grow. I was extremely emotional the whole movie. They followed the book more than I thought they would. Of course there were things left out, but that is to be expected. They can't make it 5 hours even if we all want them to! I liked how they had Bella sending Alice emails to show us what she was thinking and feeling inside since a great deal of the book is in Bella's head. It was great seeing it move from the indie film style to the traditional film style. I thought the actors were amazing. Even better than in Twilight. The special effects were fantastic! From the fast, glittering, composed vampires to the HUGE wolves! The fighting scenes were wonderful! It was definitely a shocking movie in the best way possible! I don't know... maybe I have low standards? but I LOVE LOVE LOVE New Moon!!!
10 stars in my book.
