New Moon Movie > Twilight Movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2009)

As an avid reader of young adult literature, I have read and reread the Twilight Series numerous times. I can accurately recount the books with their canon and plot-minded intentions while letting the minor details slip away. The Twilight movie disregarded many major plots elements and was capped off with 'craptastic' acting. I believe that Robert Pattison's horrible American accent imitation distracted me from paying attention, Kristin Stewart once again proved her dismal ability to act and overall the extremest ideals placed on how much each actor looks like their book description was a slight to the book. However my un-enthusiasm upon seeing the New Moon movie was forgotten as the film began. New Moon took me and my misconceptions about the ability to reproduce literature on the big screen by surprise. Without a doubt, New Moon is ten times better than Twilight and that doesn't even scratch the surface of the comparable aspects between the two films. Firstly I felt that the New Moon movie retained the intention of the book. I felt that I was retold the story with feasible expectations because of the time limit standardized by most popular cinema. The sub-par acting was less noticeable. The extra effects used in the actions scenes were done with canon-esquire attention to detail. In my opinion the New Moon movie made up for the disaster of the Twilight movie in ten fold. Chris Weitz did a splendid job, Sorry Catherine Hardwicke, you've been outdone.
