"Twilight" was decent... "New Moon" is worse.

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2010)

OK, so, I've never read the books, but I have to say Twilight was a decent movie (6/10). The cinematography was beautiful, the cold blue filter gave it a cool "feel" and the most important thing - the music was great. The story was easy but nice to watch.
Here, most of the pluses of the first one are gone, and most of the minuses of the first one are... even bigger. But from the beginning.
The story is not bad, but the screenplay, I have to say, it's AWFUL. It makes you feel like Rosenberg wrote it in a few days or even better just to get the paycheck. The dialogues are mostly terribly awkward, the storyline skips to fast making the story unbelievable etc.
The acting now. Robert Pattison is NOT better. Maybe he wanted to be like that, maybe he was supposed to be just acting a cold guy with one face expression, that doesn't actually act at all, but seems to be tired of being on the plan, because he has some smiles (2 maybe?) that may suggest so, but that's to little. Kirsten Stewart, whom I thought was a good actress (after Into The Wild), and who I though played well in Twilight, here... it's not bad at all either. Surprise. I really liked her.
The music. No "Super Massive Black Hole" in the songs from the movie, no "Bella's Lullaby", dramatic drums and Burwell's talent on the Score. Much more forgettable, but the main theme (Meadow) might be better than lots of music composed in the cinema in recent years. Beautiful. If only there was more...
As the cinematography goes, no more cold blue filter here, but still some nice shots. The best scene, I though, was a scene with "Hearing Daamge" song in the forest, hunting for Victoria. Very nicely shot and edited, working with the music well. Only hope the whole movie was that way....
