Not as good as the first

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2009)

I read all the books already and then watched the first one. I enjoyed the first one was done very well and stayed with the book pretty good. I was actually amazed because I didn't think it would be done well. So now I watched New Moon. Hmmmm. Well I honestly didn't expect it to be all that good because of basically Dakota Fanning playing the part of Jane. Well guess I was wrong on one part. It wasn't her that ruined it for me. I honestly don't think this movie was done well at all. And looking at all the ratings I wouldn't be surprised that the other two won't even be made now. It just seemed like to me that the parts that shouldn't have been rushed were rushed and then there were so many parts that seemed to drag out forever never should have been done. I can see why a lot of people didn't like this one at all. The last half hour was so rushed it was pathetic and took away from the big climax of what happened. It seemed like they though oh darn, we only have a half hour left and we haven't done this part yet. The acting yeah isn't the greatest but they did pull it off in the first one well enough. This one showed how bad the acting was I think because they dragged out parts they shouldn't of. Oh and don't get me started on the music. I don't think hardly any of it was any good in this movie. I don't know if because they had a different director or what was why this one wasn't as good but it wasn't. If they do end up making the next two I hope they learned from their mistakes on this one and at least do the other two some justice. I will grant you at least they did stick to the book pretty well, they just over emphasized a lot of parts they never should have. I basically would say don't bother seeing it in theatres, wait til it comes out on DVD.
