I was nervous as anything to see New Moon. It premiered in Australia on the 19th of November and of course I attended the midnight premier. This will be zero spoilers so it might be short.
Twilight fans: There will be no disappointment and there will be lots of screams.
I personally think that Chris Weitz deserves a round of applause. He kept extremely close to the novel, adding in and taking out scenes that there will be no objection to The plot is seamless and flows nicely. All your favourite lines will be there and I think there will be some people with some new favourites. The CGI that creates our sparkling and our wolves is fantastic and looks realistic… well as realistic as giant wolves can be. I defintely liked the golden and red contacts alot better than in Twilight. The Volturi fight scene; perfect. New Moon was definitely not an Indie film, but more accurately a Chris Weitz feature film.
The cast did a fantastic job. Every cast member knew their role and acted it out perfectly. Jacob, well I think I have been partially converted to Team Jacob (or possibly Team Taylor would be more accurate). Edward’s presence was defintely there, and I would have to say it was a really nice balance considering how much of the novel he is absent for. The newcomers to the cast, members of the Volturi and Wolf pack alike fitted in seamlessly.
Without spoiling the movie anymore, I’d like to say that I loved New Moon. It was a much needed improvement on Twilight, and every Twilighter should definitely go and see the movie, because I promise no one will be disappointed. Oh and I wish Chris was directing Eclipse, but the best I can hope for it that David Slade and Chris will work together to bring us another excellent movie adaption.
