New Moon Review

I'll start by saying that I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it three times this weekend! I went with my friend Kayelyn,her friend Amy and Kayelyn's daughters and DIL's. Later that night, I saw a midnight show with my friend Jenny. Then on Saturday afternoon,I went with my mom,my sister and my nieces. We met my SIL,Karla and her 2 younger sisters at the theater but we weren't able to sit with them. I got stuck behind a couple who talked through a lot of the movie and laughed hysterically when it wasn't even cheesy or funny. I really wanted to dump my drink on them. >:(
There were some parts that I didn't like as much,but that is to be expected. The movies will never live up to the books for me and I'm going to accept that and just enjoy them. Here is a list of the things I liked and the things I didn't like. **SPOILERS**

LIKES -
~The dream in the beginning was perfect! I also loved the meadow.
~When Edward shows up to school and he struts in slo-mo to the song "Monsters". That is one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack.
~I love Charlie and Emmett. Love them!


~When Edward kisses Bella goodbye. The pain he showed was very intense. :(
~I liked KStew a lot better in this movie. A lot of her acting really bugged me in Twilight. I thought she was so much better in New Moon. She looks gorgeous is this picture!

~Jessica's monologue after she and Bella see the zombie movie. She is hilariously self-absorbed!

~Taylor Lautner stole the movie for me. His portrayal of Jacob was terrific,I really felt his pain. I wanted Jacob and Bella to kiss. I knew they wouldn't but I was still disappointed when the phone rang. As of right now,I am leaning towards Team Jacob. (don't hate!)

~I love when Jacob phases in mid-air...it's so wicked.

~I'm going to miss Rachel Lefevre. I love her as Victoria.

~I liked Michael Sheen as Aro. It was a little campy but that is exactly how I saw Aro in the books. A bipolar vamp who is gleeful one minute,deadly the next.
~The entire movie theater scene was hilarious! The cheesy FacePunch lines = awesome! This scene was deliciously awkward for Bella.


DISLIKES -

~The contact lenses were a bit too much..but I can overlook those. What I couldn't overlook was the makeup on RPattz. The makeup on him did not look good at all! His lips were WAY too dark! He should not wear more lipstick then Bella. This is how he should have looked through out the movie...
To me,that is the perfect Edward. *sigh*

~The stupid windchime sounds when Edward's skin sparkles. ARGH! I hate that! It's cheesy enough that his skin sparkles,must we have the lame sound effect too???

~Jasper's hair is still the scariest thing about him.

~I hate that Jane says "Pain" when causing pain. REALLY? Can moviegoers not figure out that Edward is in pain by his writhing around?
~These 2 scenes were the cheesiest to me. They both made me cringe a little bit.





Now I wait impatiently for June...and yes,I already have an Eclipse countdown widget. So what? :P
