New Moon (2009)

Rating: 4/10 (17 January 2012)

It would have been nice to see a decent Vampire movie in such a setting. I really liked the photography and the overcast woodlands. That's about it for compliments. We get more of the same as the last film, spastically turgid dialogue, which just has characters saying how they feel. "It hurts when you're not around, it hurts when you're right next me. It's like drowning or something painful etc." That's pretty much what every character says. The allusions to Romeo and Juliette are misguided and heavy handed. Once again, the only decent actor/character gets about 2 minutes. It was such a waste. He had delivery, presence and most of all CONVICTION. However, he's soon chased off by some of the most annoyingly fake pixels to ever hit the screen. Roger Rabbit looked more realistic.
