For the Fans

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2010)

There have been many bad reviews regarding this movie, and though I see the point of the reviewers, I disagree heartily. Being a fan of the book series, I found the Twilight Saga: New Moon to be enjoyable, true to the book, and a vast improvement to the first film.
First of all, we must acknowledge the good decision made by Summit to get rid of the director of Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke. In my opinion, by inflicting her own tone and mood onto Twilight, she drained the film of its natural feel. Chris Weitz, who directed New Moon, didn't take anything away from it, he simply added the magic of the book to the sequel that the first movie lacked.
Also, I would like to point out to the "haters" who have been posting their reviews on this page, that this movie was not made to win awards, or be considered one of "the greats". Of course, it would be nice if it made a lot of money, or won an Oscar or something, but that's not going to happen, because that's not why it was made. It was made for the fans of the books, end of story. So stop picking it apart!!!! As long as the fans are happy with it, it shouldn't matter wheher or not it's considered an incredible movie. And you're not impressing anyone by posting things such as "This movie is filth." Or, "It comes nowhere near films such as Titanic or Gone With the Wind". It's not meant to. As for the acting, though it's not award-winning, it is decent enough.
Altogether, I found this movie to be extremely enjoyable, and well directed. Also, in response to one of the other reviews that were posted on this page, it was by far much better than anything having to do with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I consider to be filth. But maybe that's just my opinion.
