There is nothing wrong with this movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2009)

I was both excited and worried when first going to see New Moon. Excited because I love Twilight the film and all the books. Worried because this was the second film I'd be seeing where I'd read and loved the book first and was anxious to whether or not they'd get it right. I'd read and loved the Half blood Prince before seeing the film and the film became a huge disappointment. Although I'll never be fully happy because its impossible to fit a whole book into just over 2 hours and so there are things I'm gonna miss, i can't say I was upset. Most people who complain about the acting and the film as a whole are just non fans who can't stand that its become so big, and I'm getting bored of listening to these people online. I've read the books a lot, and so has my boyfriend. Neither of us are silly little teens, we're both mature 23 year olds and although he's more of a J.R.R. Tolkien fan and not obsessed with Twilight like I am, he thought New Moon had been done very well and stayed very true to the book. Some of his other male friends who'd been dragged to the cinema with there girlfriends also hated to admit that they enjoyed it. The acting of every main character was done exactly as I'd imagined from the books if not better. Although I love them both, I wasn't sure if Kristen and Rob could make the break up scene as heartbreaking as it should be but I actually found myself caught up in every second of it and was blown away. I feel like after Twilight they realised how special these books are to people and they put everything into knowing these characters. Anyone who wasn't impressed with there acting doesn't get the characters in the book. If they weren't doing it right, Stephanie M would have let them know. Jacobs character was also a lot like I imagined and the chemistry between Jacob and Bella was played out perfectly, as was Bella and Edward. I loved the way the film captured that even though Bella is growing closer to Jacob, he can still never be Edward, this is something I was worried about before seeing the film. And can I just say, Bella is a teenage girl who is so clumsy, always worrying and so insecure and helpless. Yet she always puts everyone else first and will risk her life in an instant to protect the people she loves. Okay she really needs the vampire she loves in an unhealthy type of way. But he needs her that way as well and thats what love is, thats why its such a strong story. Love that powerful makes you weak and tells a great story. And thats what the Twilight sage is about, its about Bella and Edwards love and how nothing can overcome it. Its a great love story and she's a great role model. Anyway, everyone did a great job, New Moon is beautiful and hasn't done fantastically for no reason, I'm just worried about Eclipse now but although I'm not sure about the director, I fully trust the cast. I've not been this excited about a bunch of movies and books in my life but I've given 9 instead of 10 because I really didn't like the vampire contact lenses this time around and being New Moon, like Bella I really missed Edward Cullen and no amount of muscles can help with that.
