New Moon Movie Review:
Okay, who saw New Moon yet?? I saw it last night at 10:00 p.m.! Don't worry for those that haven't seen it yet, I won't spoil anything, so keep reading :) I saw it with my boyfriend (yes I dragged him!), one of his friends (which is a die hard Twilight fan, which is awesome since he's a dude) and one of my closest friends. After work, I went to Queens, I work in Manhattan so I had to commute. Me and my friend met up with my boyfriend and his friend and we went to a buffet and stuffed our faces. I love crab legs! Yum yum. We made it at the theater by 8:00 p.m., we wanted to get there at least two hours early. Usually a long line starts developing before the movie showing. I fortunately had bought my tickets off of Fandango so I already had the precious tickets in my hand :) Inside, we literally were the second people in line! I was so happy because I knew we'd find great seats, right in the middle baby!

Now let's get down to the movie...personally I wasn't a huge fan of Twilight. I thought the acting was eh and the special effects were cheesy. But, New Moon I must say surpassed my expectations! I thought the director did a great job and I hope they use him for the other two movies as well. The special effects were better, especially during the fighting scenes. My favorite part of the movie would definitely have to be Jacob and Bella's blossoming relationship. Taylor did an amazing job as Jacob, he definitely captured the essence of his character. Also his body was phenomenal, every time he came on screen I'd gasp because he really took my breath away! I honestly am an Edward fan in the books but for some reason in the movies I kind of lean towards Jacob more. Oh well, as for Bella she was okay, I still think her acting isn't all that great and Edward was cute even when he looked sickly lol.

Throughout the movie my boyfriend kept asking me questions which I thought was adorable. He never saw the first one so that's why he was confused at times. I'm just happy he didn't fall asleep. But, as a guy that could care less about our sappy addiction to Twilight, he said, "it was wack." Typical guy response. Overall, I enjoyed it but I still feel like something is missing, I still want more! Eh, I'll never be satisfied as much as I am with the books. Oh and the ending was a total cliffhanger - even though most of us knows what happens! Okay that wraps up my thoughts, please let me know your opinions of New Moon, I'm curious to know!

I leave you with this...*gasp*
