Reasons Twilight Saga Movie New Moon Could Be Good

Five Reasons New Moon Might Be Good

April 29, 2009

1 / 7

Last year's film adaptation of Twilight was a bit of a critical disappointment despite being a box office hit. The faithful flocked to theaters, but some folks new to the story left wondering what all the hype is about.

I'm hoping the next movie in this saga, New Moon, will be an improvement over the first one when it hits theaters later this year. While I'm sure it'll be huge no matter what, I'd rather it be good! And already, there's some evidence that might be the case. I see some signs that this movie could be a leap beyond the first one both in quality and in entertainment. Here are five of the biggest.

I hadn't read the books until after I seen the first movie which I was drug to against my will by my daughters.O.K I cheated at first and skipped the first book. Look I seen the movie...why read the book.At least that was my thought at the time.New Moon was a book to be reconded with.I normally only read legal rulings and case law so this wasn't something I thought I would enjoy.WOW!What a shock. I read the three books by the end of the week.Finally I read the first one (Last of course).Then I went back to the movie with my best friend and I could appreciate the movie. Unfortunately, I don't think Hollywood will do justice to these books.The books are about selfless undying true love, sole mates,loyalty,family,responsibilities over needs or desires and the author threw in an interesting twist. A creature "damned" who chooses to fight his nature. Making a conscious choice or "free will" yet never believing he has a shot at heaven. The heart breaking performance the K.S should deliver should get her an Oscar nomination if it goes by the book. Oh yeah,#32 & 33 read the books again. You both have missed something; that was addressed.

I'm in love with the idea of the romance. I remember when I was 17. Going to celebrate 50 years of marriage and remember when I met him! Older women still have romance in their souls and you would really be put out with my age 68. My 2 Grannddaughters love it as much as I do at 16 and 23. Great pictures of Rob and Kristen.

I was very irritated with Bella in the book. I thought she was rude among other things. I thought how rude she couldn't take the time to even try to remember everyones names. All the kids who were reaching out to get to know her. I'm surprised they didn't just think she was stuck up. Real hs that is what would have happened. Anyway, I liked her more as the stories went on. :rotfl:

LOL! Actually I over thought the book just like that. Even though I loved all of them. I couldn't help but to think of how ridiculous it all was. I thought of the same thing with my HS too. Way way back when! :)

You are right. I guess I was over thinking a movie aimed at tweeners. I was just thinking that I remember how outsiders were treated at my high school. They would have been better staying home. LOL Thanks again

They went to high school because it would be the best way they thought to look normal. They would therefore not cause more wonder and attention. :shrug: The oldest wasn't in the army he just looked the biggest. I have to say living in a small mtn town. Home schooling and not being amoung people isn't thought of as so weird. They actually could have lived somewhere like that easily and not had to put up such a facade. But, oh well. Aren't a lot of books and movies unrealistic with stuff? It is about vampires and werewolves so I don't think they need to be THAT worried about what's realistic. IMHO. :)

I have not read the books but I did see the movie. I was wondering if they explained why these vampires were going to high school. It seems like the lead guy must have been at least 18 or so (wasn't he in the army?), so why go back to high school? No colleges or jobs they could take at night? Or just stay home? I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you

Hmm, I could have sworn he was 110. :ponder: Anyway, :rotfl: Yes I think a lot of us thought of that. uh... but nope I don't think it mattered. :shrug:

Lets see... An eighty year old man going to high school and trying to pick up young UNDERAGE girls. Wouldn't that make him some kind of pedophile? Don't you think about this while watching the movie? Just because someone LOOKS 17 or so, doesn't mean they can go back to high school to score women. Am I the only one who was disturbed by this???????

I'm going to try to explain something about older women really liking Eward or the other guys from Twilight. I don't care how old one gets in years, the mind or essence of yourself never ages. You always appreciate someone who is gorgeous and sexy. You can be a crazy fan, but your common sense tells you that you could never be involved with this person. But hey, how many of you young girls think that in your wildest imagination you could ever be involved with them either? This is what makes stars so wildly popular. You know that you never stand a chance with the, but you can have fun admiring them from afar.

You really cant knit a good sweater out of crappy yarn, and the books are crap. I have already taken them away from my neice and told my sister JUST what these books were about, She wont be seeing this movie either.

i agree that Nikki did not justify the Rosalie character..she's suppose to be the most beautiful woman that bella had ever seen/meet..but Nikki did not do justice in the movie..she looks ordinary..but i like her outfits..i am in my early 30's and like other woman my age and older (than me)..reading and watching movies like this keep us young at heart.it keeps us smile alot..we don't drool on those actors or what, it's just a way of showing that you can still be able to admire and be inlove..that's the most important thing because if you lost that feeling, it won't be easy for us to keep up with all the things that we MOTHERS need to do in our daily lives..taking care of our children( like you 16 yr old anonymous), our husbands, work, etc..etc...this is the only time we spend for ourselves and i think it is forgivable for us to be a "girl" once in a while...and have something to look forward too..teenagers like some of you here will understand only what we are feeling right now when you reach our age..good luck!am i making sense here..oh! i love robert..he's awesome.. can't wait for new moon!!!i like et interview....
