Twilight saga New Moon: An Utter Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2009)

Oh wow, where do I start? Let's see, the main things that went wrong with this movie:
First of all, for a movie to be effective, there needs to be an effective beginning/middle/end. This movie DID have these, but they did NOT fit together. It was all over the place, for God's sake! I can't explain it very well, you just get the feeling that all the scenes were so unattached..you end up feeling that this movie was incomplete. Also, so many unexplained things! I can imagine that if I never read the book I'd be confused as hell. For example, they never explained Bella's "visions" (if you will) of Edward..how she saw him when she had an adrenaline rush. In the book they specifically said he wasn't actually there..she was just imagining. I can imagine being just a little confused if I never read that in the book. Now, the soundtrack! Ohhh the best worst part of the movie. During the most crucial, action-packed scenes (eg. Jasper attacking Bella for her blood) they put god damn Tom and Jerry music. It seemed like a joke rather than a very serious part of the movie, come on now! And the main twilight theme wasn't even in the movie! Not once! I don't know about you guys, but this is the song I was looking forward to the most..They played it over and over in twilight, which is why I assumed it was the main theme...nope, didn't even have it. Bummer. Some scenes just dragged on and on and were way longer than they need to be. It got boring, even the title took half an hour to show up as "New Moon". I hate to be a complete Negative Nancy, so I gotta say that this movie was not entirely bad- some scenes were very entertaining. I enjoyed every minute when the wolves were on screen, those were incredibly well done. I loved everything about them.
But generally it still wasn't effective and was poorly produced...4/10. Please get the director of Twilight back, this one is no good..
