Movie Review: New Moon

I went to see 'New Moon' this past weekend.

Here is my review:

Stars: 3 1/2

This was an epic and intensifying tale of love, romance, death, and suspense. It is box office best seller and has grossed millions so far. Now granted I am a guy so right there, i'm gonna have a slight ignorance to the film.

I saw the first Twilight, which i thought was very good, very well made. This one however, was good, but not exactly what i thought it would be. Now by no means does that mean it was bad. Quite the opposite.

I sat in the back row, which is where you want to be. The opening, i thought was rather confusing, and if you haven't seen the first one, you miss a lot. Whereas the Harry Potter Series, if you have missed other movies, it is still relatively easy to follow and pick up. This was not so easy. If you plan on seeing New Moon but have not seen Twilight, watch it before you go.

Now for girls, it was better due to the fact that well, there were more shirtless guys if this movie. For guys though, it isn't the easiest to sit through. Mostly it is very suspenseful and has several very good twists. Some parts i thought i had all figured out, and then something entirely different happened. Other parts you had no clue what was going to happen. My heart was racing as Bella raced to Rome in a very nice Prosche to see Edward.

This movie: New Moon was one of the best movies of the fall, and definitely worth the hype. It is a thriller, and a suspenseful work of art. Although it is hard to follow if you haven't seen twilight and some parts are unclear. It is clearly aimed more at the female gender however i did enjoy it. And it is also a little cheasy at time. But aside from that it a great drama and well worth the watch.
