Well, after much anticipation and frantic fanfare, it's finally
here.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon is the second instalment of the
Twilight franchise and has at last been unleashed on the world
after months of fevered speculation.
So does it live up to expectations? Well, you can read tvnz.co.nz
reviewer Darren Bevan's verdict
here , but we wanted to know what you thought and you haven't
let us down.
So what do you think? Overall, and perhaps a touch predictably, the
majority of you seem think the movie is pretty darn good.
Bluejellybeans is certainly fulsome in her praise.
"That was BRILLIANT!!! I cried, i laughed, i swooned, the cg work
was amazing, the actors have all grown up a bit and are really
acting now, everything was improved& I would have to rate this
as the BEST movie i have ever seen.
twinerd is certainly over the moon about the movie: "NEW MOON WAS
AWESOME! Way better than twilight, kept me on the edge of my seat
and they actually followed the book this time! The actors also made
the characters more life like."
b3cks101 also thinks New Moon is "absolutely awesome" and was
relieved to find the movie remained faithful to the book, keeping
"all the really good bits". She also seems to approve of the wolf
pack's buff looks.
"I was concerned the werewolves wouldn't 'size up' to the
description in the book, but Taylor and his wolf friends really
worked hard at their bods to look the part."
However, not everyone was a fan and Kary certainly isn't as
impressed with the movie as most Twihards seem to be, describing it
as "2 hours of my life I'll never get back,"
"The book was my least favourite of the four due to the absence of
the Cullens, but I thought the movie would be able to bring them
back into the story more. Instead they featured in the movie even
less than in the book. I knew from the trailers that the whole
atmosphere created in Twilight had changed& which doesn't lend
much to the continuity of the story.
"I also knew from the trailers how fake and unreal the wolves
looked& What I wasn't prepared for was how badly this movie
would SUCK!," complains Kary.
Not content to leave matters there Kary also says she found the
dialogue long-winded, droning and boring while feeling let down by
the lack of on-screen chemistry between Bella and Jake.
Kary reserves her final flourish for the movie soundtrack which she
describes as: "Another major fail. Half of it sounded like
something from a cheesy 50's romance flick. I half expected the
characters to burst into song and start dancing in some parts.
Ugh!"
elysemills gets thing back on a positive track for The Twilight
Saga: New Moon with another gushing review.
"WOW definitely a crowd pleaser for Twihards everywhere. Romance,
Heartbreak and Action all rolled into one. The fresh characters
created new depth and the special effects were top class. New Moon
definitely raised the bar!"
And the final word goes to marycc who went to a Twilight double
feature and says: "Rob can do no wrong, Kristen was amazing, Taylor
impressed me. I love the role of Charlie! Cinematography, music,
all just added up to one great movie. I loved it! Go! I am again
2day!"
