Twilight Saga – New Moon

"Twilight Saga – New Moon"

"As Reported by By Dollyforme"

OK, let’s get this out in the open first – this is a chick flick with vampires and werewolves. Since I do enjoy a good vampire movie I went to see it – the good news is that there are lots to like about New Moon if you like vampire movies - the fight scenes for one are well done with great camera work.

For special effects, the Wolf transformations are very good and the movie was a good mix of vampire gothicness and funny moments.

Overall, if you liked the first one this one will please and the end will just make you want more.

However, this movie does cater to its audience so it will mainly appeal to young women. If you have a gal in your life take her to see it – she’ll love you for it.

One movie standout was Kristen Stewart's performance as Bella - this is a highlight of the movie. She commands a powerhouse performance as she falls apart after Edward's abandonment.

To be honest, the biggest disappointment is the Volturi - early on they're alluded to as Vampire aristocracy who rule with power and fear and yet it's only Dakota Fanning's Jane who comes off as powerful and menacing; Michael Sheen's Aro verges on hammy creepiness - his early menace is soon lost by a lot of clasping hands and wide red eyes.

Yet, there's also much to admire in New Moon - the final fight scenes are a cool, blurry mix of Matrix style bullet time action and sweeping camera work.

New Moon is perfectly pitched to its audience and its core fan base. To the Twihards I say "go, love it and cherish it and get ready for Eclipse, which is heading to cinemas in 2010". The countdown begins now.
