As i promised before, i would like to write a review about the movie from the novel that i love the most,Twilight saga, which is NEW MOON. Knowing that many of you, maybe havent read the books and watched the movie, let me share with you some opinions from my point of view about this movie.
At first, i was so nervous, waiting for it to start and to see the opening scene of the movie. Yeah, there goes Bella, as i can see, as pretty n plain as she is described in the book. But wait, after that, there goes my favourite vampire ever, Edward, with his charming n gorgeous smile. Well, in general, this time around the movie focuses more on the recovering time of bella when edward left her (of coz edward loves her n thinks she's gonna be fine without him after some time).
Of course, with all the pros come quite a few cons. I was wondering, while they played up Jacob & the whole wolfe CGI really well they totally changed our beloved Cullen's, in particular the perfect angelic "Edward" which I was totally enamored with in Twilight! The tone of the movie did not capture the same emotion envoked in the first movie, Weitz got wrong! He had a perfect canvas in Rob Pattinson and he dropped the ball...did he even watch the first movie?? And How can you make angel face Rob (as described in the book)looks so goulish when he was supposed to be angelic? The sparkles were pretty impressive but did Weitz even direct?? I love the characters and can't imagine anyone but Rob playing Edward but I sure do hope they get it right in Eclipse and ease up on some of that make up bring back the passion and give us back the people we know. Yes, it's fantasy, yes they are vampires, however they were more blendable in the first film..which I liked. And even the colour of their eyes. If you notice, i prefer the colour that they had in the 1st movie, the scene when they are in the kitchen, waiting for Bella. They look more natural.
I also noticed other thing here. Their emotions. Somehow, they lack of emotion and they didnt really show it through their facial expressions, and the way they say it. Bella is such a nice character in the book, Kirsten Stewart is beautiful and in New Moon actually did a better job(yeah she is), but still she comes as cold and I could not feel her love for Edward at all, just her pain and she is great showing it. Edward is too intense and a scene with the phone in South America totally unnecessary. Too much make up, weird contacts, just so the audience could salivate over half naked boys and Robert Pattinson.
If you liked the book, you'll love the movie. If you didn't, don't bother. Even the Twilight fans who love the romance and fantasy can make fun of the books. Well, still for me, it's a great movie, eventough i prefer the books, because through that u can feel the real new moon...this movie lacks in terms of portraying the emotions and complex relationship of the two main characters. For people who did not read the book, I think they will never understand what makes them "right" for each other in the end.
So, it's up to u whether u wanna watch it or not, n nobody is forcing you to watch it. If u dont want, so dont bother ok!!!
I give 3.5/5...
