My take on New Moon...I've been Imprinted!



Okay so as most of you know I'm a Twi-Freak! Since the premier I've seen New Moon the second installment of Twilight twice. So here's what I think about the movie. First of all let me say that I know and knew that the Twilight movies were never going to be as good as the books. So I don't have that expectation but a girl can hope.
Twilight was better than New Moon in some ways and vise versa. So what did I miss in New Moon that Twilight had? One thing was what the book Twilight had that New Moon didn't.....the "newness", the love and passion, feeling like a little school girl all gitty. Also I am saying this as bluntly as possible. THE MUSIC SUCKS!!!!! I'm sorry if there is anyone who enjoys the sound track. I'm glad that there is someone who does. But I won't spend a dime on any thing that involves the music for New Moon. I'm sooooooo disapointed! Why? Well for one thing my favorite parts in Twilight was the baseball scene and the prom dance at the end. It still gives me chills. And it has to do largely to the music! They did use a couple Muse songs but they were lame. So was the rest of the music. I think that any movie the music can make or break a film. It can make you stand up and a plod encore a or make you anxious for it to be over. It can make you cry and not be able to stop crying or it can make you irritated and want to hit someone. So they better do sooooooooo much better in selecting the music for Eclipse! (which they are doing right now since filming rapped a month ago)

What I enjoyed in New Moon that made it better than Twilight were a few things. First the cinematography was sooooo much better. No more green and bluish screens.

The other things were the new characters. The Voulturi! I blogged about them at the beginning of the year so if you read it you know how much I was excited about them and I feel they met my hopes and I'm very proud of them in the movie.

I also loved the Forks clan! Mike and Jessica were hilarious! They did such a good job at hamming it up and kudos to the writing for them.

And last but not least........TAYLOR LAUTNER was soo good! I do think he doesn't do a very good angry Jacob but everything else done perfectly!! I also think that Kristen Stewart did a bit better in New Moon. There wasn't nearly as much eye fluttering as before. And Rob still shined! or should I say SPARKLE!!
