Just Relax and Have Fun

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2009)

Jeezum, folks, lighten up! The books aren't all that great, yet they are captivating, and the same goes for the movies. The Twilight series is just supposed to be fun entertainment....
If you haven't read the books, you have no right judging the movies. And if you have read the books, you cannot deny that they did a great job trying to stick to the book for the second film, and that blew me away. So if you hate the movie, then you must hate the book, which makes me wonder why you bothered to see the movie.
I've seen New Moon twice. Never expected that. I originally went just because a bunch of friends were going. I am not a huge fan of the Twilight books....don't love the writing, found them very slow and repetitive,and at times plain annoying. But going to see the films with friends and my kids and their friends has been a blast....we don't expect to see great art. We expect to see an interesting romp that includes hot guys running around in jeans shorts and no shirts. Call us shallow, but man we are having fun.
Who cares if there are parts that are stupid, if sometimes the acting is not all that great. Overall, New Moon is worth the experience, if you are open to just relaxing and enjoying.
