New Moon: Twilight

07.08.10
Twilight: New Moon
(2010)
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner




As a whole, i haven't really jumped on the whole Twilight bandwagon, but was somehow corralled into watching the teenage vampire crazed movie. Compared to the first film of the series this was far superior in the special effects department and even the story construction. I'm under the impression that the two werewolves fighting was where much of the special effects budget was spent and it was well worth it! The story would not have made much sense to a viewer who had missed out on the prequel, it was constructed almost like a giant inside joke that anyone missed the first film would have felt extremely left out of. The acting was moderate to poor and not even the attractive Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautener could outshine that fact. Overall, I was entertained, but the two hour viewing time did begin to drag about an hour and fifteen minutes in. Not a movie i'd recommend or speak highly of, but it was exactly what it was intended to be, a film for the generation who missed out on Harry Potter.
