New Moon
Watching New Moon made me realize many things.
It has a huge following. Wanting to get good seats, I booked tickets online. While most of the later screenings' good seats were sold out, I was still able to get good seats for an earlier screening. Thankfully for that and my Shang Cineplex card, I didn't have to line up for tickets. And believe me, I was surprised at how popular it was because the lines were long.
Forks, Michigan, if such a place exists, is not the right place to meet guys. They either end up as vampires, werewolves or worst, a dork who can't appreciate a movie.
I like Taylor Lautner more than Robert Pattinson. He just looks better to me, abs and all. Robert Pattinson looks pale and is quite skinny. Plus, I don't like his hair. I read the books before watching the movies and unfortunately, Robert Pattinson does not measure up to the Edward in my head. But Taylor Lautner fits Jacob to a T. Once rumored to be on the verge of losing the role because he wasn't stocky enough, Taylor Lautner buffed up and proves he's the right man for the job.
I'm a Potter fan through and through. In one scene, I couldn't help but think of Cedric Diggory, the role Pattinson played in The Goblet of Fire. In one scene, it looked as if Edward Cullen was hit by Avada Kedavra.
Film wise, New Moon is better than Twilight. It is better made, the story better told. It is funnier too. S2, who watched the movie with me, agrees.
What do you think? Have you seen it?
