New Moon… New Post: Review of 2nd movie in Twilight Saga
I’ve been a little out of commission due to the holidays and my computer being on the fritz…
So I apologize for the inconsistent posts.
Quick question…
Did you see New Moon yet? How did you like it? I have to say that I was looking forward to it even though, from a cinematic point of view, I didn’t really like the first one.
I just saw the 2nd one at Arclight yesterday and I liked it better but there needed to be more action scenes and I feel my cousin said it best by summarizing the movie as being about “a bunch of people who couldn’t make up their minds.”
And they held many of the shots too long. Like the one of Bella being angsty by sitting in a chair for 3 months.
Yep… It felt like 3 months alright.
I know this sounds like a typically cocky director thing to say, but I think I could have done a better job and I feel many of the directors I know could have done a better job.
But I’m still hooked on the story, despite the “he loves me… he loves me not” oscillations of all the characters.
Please tell me the books have more to them than that.
Oh, and I’m Team Jacob. I liked Robert Pattinson in Harry Potter, but he’s weird in Twilight, and it’s not just the Vampire thing. I think he’s Robert Pattinson acting out James Dean acting out Edward. Weird.
Twilight Saga; New Moon
