New Moon. Some bad things, but mostly good things.

Rating: 6/10 (21 November 2009)

Okay so as we all know, The Twilight Saga has become one of the biggest hit franchises of the 21st century. I won't deny that I really do love the series, I think that Stephenie Meyer had a vision that was so perfectly mapped out into four books, which I think were very well written. But here's the main issue, the movies aren't going to be just like the books, I can respect that, but I really think the director, crew, and actors could have done a much better job on reinventing Stephenie Meyer's wonderful creation. Now, there were some very good things about this movie which I will comment on. When it comes to CGI and visual effects, I give New Moon a big pat on the back, after watching the futile attempt at good CGI work in Twilight, it was actually nice to watch a Twilight movie with good effects in it. If that was what was stopping you from seeing New Moon, go right ahead and watch it, you won't be disappointed. Aside from that, the acting in this movie was noticeably better than that of the first. You can tell that the actors grew a closer relationship with each other and this made them more comfortable when acting in intimate scenes. I think Bella and Jacob's relationship is very precise when it comes to translating it from the book. Taylor Launtner did an excellent job at acting as Bella's main love interest. As for Bella and Edward's relationship, I could feel a closer connection towards the end of the movie. I believe that in time this connection and the actor's connection will continue to grow and with that the movies will only get better and better. Well, in all, this movie was good. I really thought it was much better than the first. If your a fan of the books, definitely go and see it. For me, it was definitely worth the price of a movie ticket. I give The Twilight Saga: New Moon 6 out of 10 stars, but that's just my opinion, go and see for yourself how this matches up to your expectations.
