For many people (primarily young teenage girls) their world has stopped turning as the second movie in the Twilight series arrives.
Lets be honest here, If Jesus turned up and told the fans this movie was rubbish, it wouldn’t matter. This is a fan movie.
Essentially the story here follows on the love story of Bella and Edward. Between the jigs and reels, Edward (Robert Pattinson) and the rest of the family Cullen decide to up sticks and leave, as one of the school going family members has aged quite a bit. So poor old Bella gets the heave ho and she goes a little bonkers. Kristen Stewart to her credit, plays the completely obsessed ex girlfriend probably too well as her constant whinging gets annoying quite quickly. Either way, she ends up pushing her own boundaries and when she does, she gets glimpses of Edward telling her not to do whatever she’s about to do. She then goes off and starts hanging out with a potential love interest, who’s also a werewolf and subsequently starts hanging out with a group of werewolves. And look, these aren’t your ordinary werewolves' either. They’ve been eating a lot more than Pedigree Chum with rice and vegetables.
Between more mundane dialogue and attempts at extreme sports, Edward thinks she’s dead and goes off to the Vampire Mafia about killing himself because he can’t bare life without Bella. They disagree and he decides to go and reveal himself to the public as a vampire. If he does, the vamp mob bosses won’t be too happy and will kill him. Will Bella turn up in time? Will Edward die? Will a werewolf start dry humping somebody's leg?
New Moon at times look’s great. But, more times than not the special effects leave the whole thing down in particular the werewolves don’t look too convincing. That said, the cast are quite solid here, and Robert Pattinson is exceptionally charming and likeable. There’s more dialogue here than anything else though and bar the occasional werewolf scrap, the movie for me anyway, seemed to drag and drag to its incredibly cheesy cliff-hanger ending. Don’t get me wrong, this movie isn’t aimed at the average joe soap. This is directly aimed at the millions of fans worldwide and I have no doubt they will all squeal their way through the whole thing. And I can certainly appreciate that. If your not a fan though, as piece of film New Moon doesn’t really hold up. So there’s not alot here for your average movie goer, unless you fancy staring at teenagers and their rippling torsos!
By the way, on the Movie Bit on Sunday night, I’ll be getting some words of wisdom from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!
