I went to the midnight showing last night at my local theater and all I can say about New Moon is wow.

*SPOILERS!!*
First of all, I was very happy that they started the movie off with Bella’s dream, as the book starts off. I think that was an important part to the story. The acting in the movie wasn’t as bad overall, but Taylor Lautner still overpowered everybody. The Cullens looked great (as always) and the birthday was was nice. The whole “throwing Bella into glass and pushing Jasper away” thing was a little overdone but I will take it.

The part where Edward left Bella in the forest was made well. For once you could actually “feel” Edward’s pain. Bella’s however, was still lost in her terrible acting. After the three months, she was less zombie-like then she should of been, but whatever, I’m not gonna be nit picky.

The scene when Bella and Jessica go out to Port Angeles, was very funny. Anna Kendrick is such a great actress! She made me laugh and smile when she was babbling on and on. One thing made me VERY mad in that scene though. In the book, Bella walks up to the bar to the dangerous guys, and then walks always and says, “Sorry, I thought I recognized you.” That is the first time she hears Edward’s voice. In the movie, she walked up to the guy, and went for a ride on his motorcycle!!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! That made me seriously mad, because Bella wouldn’t do that.

The scenes with Jacob and Bella bonding are cute but they skip so much. They totally jump over vital moments of the relationship. They don’t elaborate on how much Bella needed Jake, and how much she missed him when he became a werewolf. They also skip over all of her bonding with Emily and the pack, and Jakes original hatred towards the “protectors”. Above all, they skip over Jake’s promise to Bella about Cliff Diving, so when she jumps by herself, it seems like she is committing suicide.

Oh yeah, and why the hell did Bella PUNCH PAUL!!!!!! That never happened! How could she punch Paul and be fine, but punch Jacob in Eclipse and break her hand?!?! BIG story flaw.

The Volturi scenes, I cant really critique. The fact that they put all the fighting and action to make it do better in Hollywood, destroyed to sober sterile feeling of the Volturi. I will just leave that at that.

OK and what was with the end? Why did Edward hesitate SOOO much before saying “Marry Me”? It was just an odd ending. Overall the movie was alot better then Twilight, but I just really wish they didn’t skip so much of the character development and bonding…
