If there is only one thing I can say about the movie it would be this one: New Moon Movie is far better than the Twilight Movie! I loved it! No regrets in buying tickets in advance. Haha! The long wait for the movie was also really worth it! I want to see it again, haha! I don’t care if I’m ranting like a teenager, Go Team Edward! haha!
There were many parts that were tweaked to enhance what was in the book. These scenes like the dream catcher from Jacob, the visions instead of Edwards voice, the scene where in Felix was brawling Edward, and others. It was a good way of connecting scene after scene to create the picture. The flashbacks of Bella also helped many the viewers who did not read the book understand the story more. So no worries for those who have not read the book, but personally I think you should read the book because many scenes were edited to compress the movie to 2 and a half hours.
One of my favorite scenes was the part where Edward arrived in school on Bella’s birthday, he was so gorgeous, haha! He greeted her discreetly and Bella was a bit of annoyed to be reminded that she is indeed getting older. I just noticed that Edward has a new car, it’s still Volvo but not the “Edward car” Volvo. I miss the shiny Volvo, aaawww… Then Jacob appeared to wish Bella a happy birthday and gave her a birthday present, a dream catcher. As they went to class, Edward was teasing and asking Bella, why does Jacob get to give her present while he is not allowed. Then the Romeo and Juliet class scene came, well that did not work for me, it was far better in the book, where they watched the movie privately. But to be fair, Edward reciting the lines of Romeo was a hit, haha!
I expected the birthday scene to be a bit longer. Cullen family are still the same, Esme was warm, Emmett was funny, Jasper was distant and Rosalie was as usual snub. Alice was prettier in this movie, and Carlisle is still handsome. I also noticed costumes and make-up were better for this second installment of the Twilight saga. They still look like vampires but they do not have the Geisha foundation effect look. Good job wardrobe and make-up!
Ok now we go to the wolves side… Love the scene where Jacob went to Bella’s room, the effects on how he climbed his way up to the window. Raaaawwwrr! haha! I also love the scene where Paul and Jacob were in a fight, before and when they transformed in front of Bella. Droll worthy bodies and tats are exposed, weeeee! A big plus points for the wolf pack, haha! As for the wolf transformation, their characters were adorable instead of scary, haha! Jacob looked like a fox, because of his color and construction of his face. Cute but fierce, nice combination by the way. After the scene was the part where they went to Emily to eat. Whoa! I was surprised by the size of those muffins, they were HUGE! Then Jacob and Paul came to the scene, its like the fight never happened.
There are still many favorite scenes that I have in mind, but I am too tired to put it in words, haha! Hey give me a break, its past 1 AM and I am still blogging about my movie night. haha! All in all the movie was great for me, it exceeds my expectations. I expected it to be like the other literary works turned into a movie, just for the heck that they can say that the book was made into a movie. I hate that! Good work for the cast and crew of New Moon.
Congratulations guys!
Keep up the good work. Till we see again in Eclipse.
