New Moon started showing last November 20, and tons and tons of Twinerds flocked cinemas everywhere.
I entered the cinema forewarned by my aunt that it was a movie filled with great laughs, and that I shouldn’t expect much. So, I didn’t.
The movie reminded me of the times I read the book and while watching, I thought to myself, ‘Bella is Bella; the damsel in distress who is not satisfied with her humanity and worships a vampire.’ Then Jacob enters the picture and I think, ‘Well, Jacob is Jacob and will always be Jacob and nothing can change that; he’s the puppy, or werewolf rather, that is so irrationally in love with a vampire worshiping girl who used him as an escape from heart ache and sets him aside when she gets her blood sucker back.’ However, watching the movie made me like Jacob Black better than Edward. I have no clue as to why; maybe because of the actor.
It was a good thing that Taylor Lautner had a nice figure, it showed that he really worked hard for the role. The only thing lacking was his supposed 6’7 stature (but I guess height is genetic). The same is true with all the other puppies, er, wolves too. Looking at Edward shirtless after seeing the pack’s naked torsos was kind of weird; Robert Pattinson should have worked out to get his muscles ripped too. But then again, his face is his selling point, I think.
As for the plot, well, it’s the same as the book, of course, but some fight scenes were added so the film was a tad more exciting. They were a good diversion to the masochistic romance between protagonists. I hated that the story progressed at such a slow pace, but it was far better than its prequel, Twilight.
It was a good watch overall, and I’d probably give it an 8 of 10. Not expecting too much from the film and laughing at the cheesy parts like Bella and Jake’s ‘almost got there’ scenes made me appreciate it better. The movie, for me, was definitely better than the book (because I had previously developed a prejudice against the novel), and I suppose this was one factor that made me like it more than I expected.
L (Mr. Lontoc - Mr. L - L) says thanks for taking the time to drop by H☺☻lΩh☻☺ps™, and welcomes you to his sphere. Hopefully, you enjoy spinning around the loop and learn something worthwhile at the same time.
Since he was a kid with snot all over his face, L has enjoyed story telling and writing. He'd use to come up with fantastic stories on the spot that usually had his adult listeners roaring with laughter.
Because his loving parents recognized his passion for the art, they surrounded him with books and sent him to the University of the Philippines' Summer Arts Workshops where he studied creative writing under the supervision of Cristina Bejar. The workshop nurtured his love for writing, and sharpened his skill as a pen man.
L is a harmless guy who only hurts the mosquitoes that buzz around his head at night and other irritating pests, and he welcomes your feedback and comments. He is also willing to listen to your suggestions etc. However, L does not tolerate spammers. His spam detector makes sure of that. Oh, he also detests plagiarism.
So again, thanks for visiting, welcome, and enjoy! Cheers!
