The second time at Jacob and Bella’s break up scene (now that was good. Kristen and Taylor did a good job there).

I felt that Chris did a good job, bringing a book’s story to life, and even better – making the emotions show ten times better.

From the movie, I could see the difficult love triangle between them three, I could see the rivalry between the Quilettes and Cullens. I could see Edward Cullen’s pain (Robert really really did an awesome job).

I also really loved the wolves. I know where were my favourite parts at.
However, I have my complaints.

1. I hated the fact that once more, Summit chose to NOT have subtitles.
I understand it’s the characters playing their part, speak soft/speak unclear, SO GIVE US SUBTITLES! It’s so difficult hearing what they’re saying!

2. I really am quite unsatisfied with how Chris Weitz missed out some small yet important factors.

rough reasons why-
+ Charlie’s lack of concern when Bella said she had seen wolves
+ Billy’s lack of persistence
+ Taylor Launter’s lack of facial expression gesture as Jacob (his eyes are really important at some parts, he needs to separate happy and sad)
+ Kristen Stewart’s lack of pain, desolation as Bella, who is withdrawn, on a huge emotional trainwreck and a person who “has a hole punched through her heart”. [there is, but it isn't enough]
+ Aro’s performance, different from the book – here in the movie he is a desperate, power seeking, thirsty, and in the book, despite looking scheming, he was at least nice, and understanding enough.

–

That is just my opinion of course.
I felt that the movie was definitely better than Twilight, and it followed the book more closely than Twilight, and I can see the romance much better

Thanks TwilightSingapore, for giving me a chance to catch the premiere!

Having said that, I will definitely be going for repeat viewings back in S’pore as I watched this, my first time, with a somewhat sceptical hubby, who I had to drag along, ‘cos it was a late-night show in Tokyo and I needed his navigational skills to get to the theatre and back!
And when I do, I will either watch ALONE or with fellow Twi-Hards…aiyo… I had to keep answering his questions and putting up with his ‘poking holes’ in the story…so irritating!

Soundtrack and score were awesome; and one part which REALLY wrenched my gut was when Edward (in Brazil) received the call about Bella’s supposed ‘death’….which was not shown in any of the trailers, thank God!

As for Jacob…yes, Taylor did fantastically well! Can’t wait for Eclipse to see him and Rob face-off more!

The werewolves and Volturi scenes were AMAZING too!

I think that the movie is better than Twilight. Chris Weitz did a fantastic job in the twisted part of the story and add the fighting scenes at the Volturi.. The Sparkle-effect of Edward is so much better cos I felt the one in Twilight sort of look like “perspiration”..
My favourite character for New Moon will be Alice and Jane..
Ashley Greene played well as Alice with the bubbly-ness and Dakota Fanning is very convincing as Jane’s and her “evil-ness”.. I thought Jasper is as always tense & funny…

However, I only got 1 complain and that is the make-up.
The make-up artist doesn’t do Edward justice, I still prefer Edward in Twilight.
And as for Jacob, his body is definitely AWESOME, but the hair is not..

I’m SOoooOoo Looking forward to ECLIPSE!!!

Oh and I honestly don’t know how there could be so many hot people in one movie. Seriously. The Cullens, the wolf pack and even some people in the Volturi! Super hot.

Hmm, some parts were a little cheesy though. But I could live with that. And the acting has tremendously improved. Kristen Stewart did a pretty good job in New Moon. Better than Twilight. And the fact that Taylor Lautner did some of his own stunts is really impressive. Super hot ex karate kid. Love him.

I really can’t wait to watch Eclipse! Especially with New Moon ending off like that! I loved the book. It was my favourite. I hope the movie will be just as good as the book though.

Overall, I’d rate New Moon a 7 out of 10. Its definitely worth watching more than once. And thank you Twilight Singapore for everything. Thank you for organising New Moon Festa. It was really awesome. I hope there will be another event for Eclipse or something. I’d definitely go!

i totally loved the first part when edward was walking towards bella in school…OME, he is totally, totally cool and handsome!! *faints*

but i thot the part where bella told jake that he was beautiful after the motorcycle accident was kinda cheesy though….haha…and the whole cinema was kinda cheering when jacob took off his shirt…haha

and i like the last part when edward said that bella was stubborn…ooohhh, the facial expression was really damn sexy!!!

wat i didnt like about the movie was no enough of edward!!! i wanna see more of edward. but the wolves and their transformation was really cool and overall, it was a fantastic movie. (even my husband who is a non-twilight fan thot so too) i had to explain the movie to him cos he didnt read the book…haha

now, im thirsting for eclipse….sigh, gotta go get some more new moon fix soon!

They have a HUGE wall of Edward and Bella, the whole Cullen clan, Wolfpack and Volturi too…I juz SQUEALED with delight when I saw it!!!
