Do you hear that? -------- It's the millions of fans screaming "thank-you" to Chris Weitz for his adaptation of New Moon from the book to the silver screen. I first heard that Catherine Hardwicke was being replaced by Chris Weitz, I'm sure I wasn't the only one singing "halleluljah". I'm sorry, but Catherine Hardwicke was too cooky for me and her interpretation of Twilight was off. She missed the mark and gave us a shell of a story. Do I hate the Twilight movie --- not entirely. Do I want to start a petition for a redo of Twilight with Chris Weitz at the helm? ----- You betcha.
It was awesome and I loved it!
Knowing that I have no clout whatsoever in the world of moviemaking (to say the least), I will digress and focus on the movie at hand ---- New Moon.
It was awesome and I loved it!New Moon is the slowest read of all the books, but the movie was great! I watched it and realized at the end, I did not have any complaints really (ok, maybe one, that vision that Alice had was a little weird).
Just from the trailer alone, I could tell that Summit had stepped things up, from the director to the special effects ---- this movie would at least be better than Twilight, and so it was ---- 10 x's better!
The story flow compared to the book was great, the acting was believable. My favorite scenes were mostly the break-up scenes: Edward and Bella in the woods, Jacob and Bella in the rain. I loved the reunion of Edward and Bella. My favorite line from the movie though was given by the wolves, which by the way were spectacular. I really did feel like the earth was shaking when I saw them. If you want to know which quote, text or email me ; ).
You always hear that the book is better, but when the credits rolled, there wasn't anything that I felt was left out or missed. The New Moon movie was the New Moon story.
Randy enjoyed the movie as well. Unfortunately, being that this was Jacob Black's story ----- he (meaning my husband), among many others are chanting TEAM JACOB. That's ok, I still love him.
We'll be revelling in the hype of New Moon for a while, but I'm sure the countdown for Eclipse has begun. My 9 y.o. is already asking when are we going to see the trailers for Eclipse. Yeah, I want to know too.

Glad you liked it. I am with Randy - I am Team Jacob - course the end of the series is weird with that. Anyways - the mania has hit my YW and they are appalled that I have not seen either one. I need to get going and see the first one before New Moon goes on video.
Well, it's really nice to know that New Moon is REALLY GOOD! I still haven't gone to see it... I'm thinking of catching a matinee today. I can't wait. Thanks for the awesome revies.
I too have not yet seen New Moon. I will soon...dunno when.
I can tell the excitement in your writing that the movie must be good.
AMEN! DITTO! ME, TOO! :)
Loved it! I also liked that he followed the storyline so closely... Did you read the Q&A's on Stephenie's website. Cool insight there... and not so cool insight on Midnight Sun :(. And like Stephenie says, we don't have to choose sides --- we can love Jacob and the Wolfpack and love Edward with Bella!!! I'm excited to go again :)
Go Jacob! (Haven't seen the movie yet but I don't like cold men!) Went by the Vegas temple on Monday and the street right across from the front entrance is named New Moon. Kind of funny I thought.
I loved it! Of course I have ALWAYS been Team Jacob, Taylor did a great job with Jacob's personality. Of course the fact that he was shirtless almost the whole movie helped, but I agree that the story line went right along with the book. I agree with the first movie, I was sooo dissapointed with the first one, and I still think they needed to find a better-looking Edward. I loved both of them in the book, but the actor has almost ruined Edward for me. Dumb, I know.
Anyway, I am SOOOOOO looking forward to the tent scene in Eclipse, my favorite part of the whole series!! Can't wait... June 2010!!!
My only complaint....Edward with no shirt on...ewwww!
I finally saw it just last week and i thought it was great!!
Okay ill bit email me which one you liked?
