Twilight saga Continues !

I thought it was laboured and a bit tortuous, especially compared to the first one. OK, we understood Bella was upset the drippy emo Edward had left, we understand that the physical opposite to emo-boy, Jake ‘Trapezius’ Werewolf fancied Bella but she loved Emo-boy and couldn’t betray his memory. We all know that Emo’s fear of biting Bella is a euphemism for having sex with her, we understand the allure of the fear Bella has for Emo-ponce-she wants ‘it’ but like all good teenagers, it scares her and that somehow makes it even more alluring.

New Moon was definitely a young female teenager’s film and I’m reliably informed its the weakest of the books, so its my own fault for watching! I suppose it’ll hold up better when the next two films are complete and as part of a whole tetralogy but I was disappointed with the inelegant way it just hammered the same points home time and time again.

I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it. I’d’ve rather had a chat over a beer with the friend I was with. She liked it.

Did these same friends also like Harry Potter by any chance? Are they all women? Can you send me photos and their phone numbers :wink:

Three more! How is Emo-boy going to continue looking so drippy and ill? How much more mileage is he going to get from half-closing his eyes to convey grief and sorrow,, fear, happiness, lust, melancholy….

I suppose its a context thing. The last films I saw was ‘An Education’ which was brilliant and ‘When the Last Sword is Drawn’ the last hour of which I cried my eyes out (like the lad watching Romeo and Juliet in New Moon!), so my expectations were high for whatever I saw next. New Moon was a Hollywood multi-appeal film with all the connotations that holds, so it didn’t thrill me.
