NEW MOON: Twilight Saga

Well I saw twilight along with every other tween at the midnight premiere. The line was out of control and one girl even brought a cardboard cut out of Robert Pattinson aka Edward Cullen with her to the movie she was a good distance between me, otherwise I was very interested in whether she had to buy a ticket for the life size Cullen cut out. It was madness and I had to wait over an hour in my seat with my extra large small frozen cola watching the eager fans waiting for the film to being. It only got crazier when Pattinson first appeared on scream the roar of screams and owow's that came from the gasping girls was mind blowing in itself. As a avid book reader I had not appreciated the first movie that much because to me the book was so much better. I unfortunately felt the same way about the second film. As much as I appreciated the beautiful eye candy given by Edward (Pattinson) and the newly buff Jacob (Lautner) the acting was way below par making the book once again the better choice. The effects were 100 times better but it still lacked the emotion and acting ability seen in other films but was expected in a teen movie. It is a teen film that has a hot romance brewing on screen which would make my 14 yr old self swoon just as it did every teenager in the audience. Mixed with a little action, I can see why it would be a hit to a younger audience who does not appreciate the acting so much as what is actually going on. On-screen the chemistry between Edward and Bella and Jacob? That was the best part of the movie even though it was predictable what was going on and what was going to happen. Overall I enjoyed the movie because it did not require a lot of brain power and I was in the middle of finals week with little brain power to spare. But I gotta give a owow myself to Lautner for his body it was enough to make any person look twice.
