The Twilight Saga: New Moon Review



Yes! They're back!! The newest in thing in tinsel-town....Vampires. But what tops that all - True Blood Series, Blade Series..is our one and only Twilight.
I'm not giving you an insight about Twilight. If you don't know it yet?! Boy! You're are way too 'Zombiee-ised' and outta-this-world!

So, the next hot thing...Edward and Bella's Love Story.As I walked into the cinema hall, I was delighted, I hadn't got a chance to read the book yet, partly because I wanted to be surprised at the movie's screening. And here I was ready to be surprised and have the daylights knocked outta me!! Yes!I came prepared.



I had paid so much attention to detail, much more than the previous movie! And, I like most others was expecting to see somethign more between Edward Nand Bella...how their love grew, their passion so much that it would be unbearable to part. BUt, it wasn't anything like it! The group of Vampires who call themselves the "Cullens"...(haha and you though only wolves moved in packs?!!!) wanted to hold a paerty for Bella. But, they start getting unconfortable when Bella accidentally cuts her finger. ANd their thirst for her blood becomes hard to cover.
But that paper cut at her party causes a violent stir and soon the family reckons it’s time to leave. Edward gives his “It’s not you, it’s me” speech, which sounds more like “We can’t be together because I might kill you” and the vampires are gone.
Surprisingly Edward turns up for hardly any screen time. And Bella who seems to be lost in the human world is hunting for someone...soulmate, perhaps?!

Then there are a few quick scenes to remind everyone that the Cullens are, in fact, vampires with special powers. Reading minds, seeing the future, and controlling moods are all checked off in a few quick exchanges of dialogue.

And then Jacob shows up...although at first everything seems perfectly normal somethings not right!



And, Taylor Lautner surprisingly shows promise as an actor( way to go buddy!), from his previous staring - Shark Boy( Image Below) if only because he was able to keep a straight face when the line “Bella, you’re bleeding!” became his cue to take off his shirt.
And then as you know it. Naturally, Jacob’s developed pecks come from a fever that eventually turns him into a werewolf, where hanging with his friends means trading in a normal life for denim jean shorts and six pack abs. Though their furry forms mean little more than special effects dollars spent on snarling.
And then he goes on fighting his vampire enimies, and tries to convince Bella that he will protect her from those blood-thirsting vampires.
And the moviw goes on for quite a long, uninteresting time. As, I am tempted to count the popcorn as I eat them!!!
A long-awaited, yet rushed climax transports Bella to Italy in order to stop “The Sparkle Show” starring a suicidal Edward Cullen. There she encounters the infamous Volturi, a vampire council of various talents. This plot detour provides a tasty role for Michael Sheen, but only leads to more tedious dialogue. The dramatic pauses alone could have saved precious time that could be spent doing… well, anything else.
Still, as her ashen-boyfriend comes back, she still throws Jacob those stealing glances. And goes up to say she likes the warmth of his body. By now, I had eaten 87 popcorns. And this movie was as cheesy as the previous one.

All-in-all, the movie is definately worth a watch! And besides, Twilight fans decided to go way before the director was even considering his budget for the film. It's worth the money...even if you're not a twilight saga fan...I'd suggest you to go....missing out to see these hotties is NOT one of the top 50 things to do before you're dead!!! No. I'm Serious.
