New Moon review

Posted : 2 weeks, 1 day ago on 14 December 2009 04:18 (A review of New Moon)

I was about 1 inch from not seeing this film because of how shit it looked! The only reason why I decided to see it was because I wanted to find out how bad it was going to be. When I saw it, I wasn’t surprised about what I thought it was going to be like before I saw it. It is definitely one of the worst films that I have ever seen in my life!! Now, it is getting really silly! Not only because it is extremely overrated like the first one but because it is like a love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob and it isn’t really a vampire film at all! What I really HATE about this one is that the mens bodies are more important to pretty much all teenage girls and women than the story itself. I find this to be as overhyped and probably even shitter than High School Musical.


Kristen Stewart is a great actress when not playing Bella because the Twilight series is sort of ruining her great acting talent because she plays Bella so badly. She has the body features for the character but she is too good to play Bella. I find her absolutely gorgeous but I didn’t really find her attractive at all in this one unfortunately. Now, Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen: his performance isnt only once again awful but this time he makes Edward like an absolute idiot!! I think that he deserves an absolute punch in the face for this!! When Rob is on-screen with Kristen, I cant feel any chemistry or any affection whatsoever between Edward and Bella. The only thing Edward is someone that teenage girls can drool over, nothing more! Taylor Lautners performance as Jacob was dreadful as well! Jacob is an absolute idiot as well and he is another character that teenage girls can drool over, just like Edward!


Chris Weitzs direction of New Moon is appalling. The director keeps changing and as the series carries on, the directing and everything seems to be getting even worse. How people can find this as the best film on Earth I don’t think I’ll EVER know because it is not really a film. It’s just a stupid show of topless men and soppy, pathetic romance to scream and drool at. It’s a damn shame that the bodies of the actors are overtaken by the plot and character development!


Overall, New Moon is an absolutely atrocious film that I don’t think this film could’ve got any worse than it did. I hated every… single… thing of this film! Definitely the worst film of 2009 and I don’t think any film will replace that. One of the worst films ever too!

New Moon review

Posted : 3 weeks, 4 days ago on 3 December 2009 02:19 (A review of New Moon)

For those who are fans or for those who aren't everyone has the same tought about this story: boring. The movie couldn't be different. WIth the book sucking it was hard for the movie be anything better. In terms of direction it was definitely superior. A lot of flaws from the first movie were corrected on this one and the soundtrack it was amazing. I don't know how they got so many amazing artists. Anyway, the movie is basically Jacob without shirt, Bella sad and no Edward. Not only the fans but those who watched only for curiosity left disappointed and I'm sure on this group.

Adolescent Crap

Posted : 4 weeks ago on 30 November 2009 04:52 (A review of New Moon)

It is obvious that this film series is specifically for fans of the books, so I will be delicate and generous in what I'm going to say about it.

Personally, the film doesn't make much sense to me, even having my dear hubby there to explain what was going on. I don't see how any could understand it if they hadn't read the books, so there is little to no appeal for those who haven't read the books, unless you want to see shirtless, tanned teens hopping around screen and the brooding Edward sulking towards Bella with a smug look to the camera.

Most of the film seems like a badly written teen romance with a random Vampire/Werewolf conflict weaved haphazardly into the main storyline. There are plenty of moments where I forgot it was about Vampires and mythical creatures at all, and instead focused on the triviality and shallow-mindedness of the romance between Jacob and Bella.

I hope the books do a better job of setting up the relationship between Edward and Bella, because Kristen Stewart does such a terrible job at acting that you wonder if she has any feelings at all, or if she's just a basket-case. Her feelings and actions don't seem genuine, and her odd obsession with Edward is entirely too adolescent. It's like when you're in 8th grade or a freshman in high school and you date someone else because the cool kids are doing it and you start telling each other you love them within three days. It's confusing, it feels entirely forced, and is immature.

I guess I don't understand the characters either. They don't seem to have any kind of personality at all. I read an article on Cracked.com that said Bella was without character or personality so that every teen girl who reads it/watches the film could project themselves onto her, and having seen both films I find this to be an accurate description. The only interaction that seems genuine is Jacob and Bella, and only slightly. They seem to have more of a connection than her and Edward, which left me entirely puzzled why she'd go back to the Vampire, and I can only conclude that she must have a thing for Vampires over Werewolves, or that Edward is just more brooding and complicated and I guess that it will keep up the trivial and mundane plot line.

I think what really irritated me about the film was Bella's complete mental breakdown over her precious Edward leaving her. The torment she experienced was entirely adolescent, but the film made it seem like she was tormented by genuine love and that it was normal for a person to be so conflicted. With Twilight being such a huge phenomenon for young girls in particular, it can't be a good lesson to teach them that it's okay to sulk endlessly over a break-up and to sit around doing nothing but think about that person, retract from society, and become a strange female bordering on complete insanity.

Most characters in novels and film have a talent. I don't see any talent in Bella except at getting involved with the most complicated, violent, and dangerous men she can find, in addition to causing her family endless worry and pain without any real concern over their feelings. She's terribly selfish in the face of "love" and the only time she shows any real passion is when she's doing ridiculous things in order to find Edward again.

What we learn from Twilight is this: Bella is only happy when she has a man around to make her life more complicated and interesting. If she doesn't get her daily dose of complicated love, she'll jump off of cliffs and/or start hanging around creepy old bikers instead of developing an actual personality or forging some kind of hobby or relationship with her family. She's the perfect candidate for giving up her mortality for a man because she fears old age and isn't satisfied unless she can be around Edward, and doesn't seem to give one lick of thought to how her family life will be affected if she does undergo that change, but I guess a gal should care more about her obsessive love attachments than of her ever dwindling relationship with her father.

The only thing I can say is that while the entire film was ridiculously stupid and that Bella is probably a worse role model for growing teens than Alex from A Clockwork Orange, Jacob prancing around the screen without a shirt on was satisfactory, and the film wasn't a total bust because of this small, artificial factor.
