I went to see New Moon yesterday. By myself so I wouldn’t have to drag some poor friend along, and long after opening day so I wouldn’t have to deal with screaming Twifans. I paid a fair $9 to see it, too, something I promised myself I wouldn’t do. But, c’est la vie; what’s done is done. (As a side note, did you know that a small drink costs $4.50 now? A small drink costs $4.50. Four-goddamn-fifty. But, I digress…)
Honestly, I don’t think it was as good as the Twilight movie was. That’s saying something, since Twilight wasn’t that good in the first place. To be fair, I only checked my watch once, and it was about halfway through. At about that time, I was sorta like, “Can we be done now? [yawn]”
Basically, my review is: It was a decent movie for the little with which it was given to work. Being that the book wasn’t awesome to start out with, the movie wasn’t awesome either. Too bad, too, because I usually like vampire movies. I’m totally rooting for the werewolves in this series, and that never happens.
Also, WTF, Victoria? You don’t get any lines? WTF? Oh wait… that’s because you’re not even really in the movie (or the book) until the next goddamn movie(/book). I like your red hair, though. And you as Lady of the Lake was awesome for the split second that Bella actually thought she might die.
Worst scene: “The Talk” with the Volturi.
Best scene: Wolf pack fight. Woo, go wolfies!
Worst character: Aro (creepy guy made creepier when he can read your thoughts through touch).
Best character: Jacob Black, hands down.
Most underdeveloped character: Emmett and Jane.
Most annoying character: Mike (sorry, Mike).
Ugh. I need to go watch Interview with the Vampire and eat some Pocky to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Ugh. New Moon ugh.
