A New Moon Review

Mar 20, 2010 20:43

Ok I went into to this without much besides the basic info and the hype. Ok so lets get started.

I take it back before I say anything else the author has her vampire's as glittering and with hooker red lipstick. Also the dialog has so much angst, melodramatic and emo that it needs to be said upfront because it is a theme throughout the entire movie.

First of all Bella our main character wakes from a dream that shows her being outlived by Edward. So the only logical thing to do is to have Edward turn her. So she proceeds to ask over and over to be turned even to the point where Bella and Edwards friend even vote on it. But Edward tells her not and he will be leaving her after one of Edward's friends goes spastic after Bella draws a blood from paper cut. So then Bella is now broken hearted and cries for days in her sleep. Not a normal cry but like a completely losing it cry/screaming. It was this point in the movie I wanted to smother her with a pillow, her dad must have had the same thought.

So she leaves to stay with a relative(?). There she meets Jack and friends who run around the movie topless and are buffed out. (Yea lots of fan service for the pre-teen fan girls.)So in every conversation he act like a 5 year old saying he has a secret and when you ask what it is he says that he won't tell.) So mean there is a "wild animal" that is killing people in the woods. Yea one guess on what that really is.

So Bella in between this has started to see Edward visions when she does something dangerous. So she actively find dangerous things to "just see Edward one more time". So in this she goes into the woods and runs into one of the Vampires that want to kill her. They talk with vision Edward coaching her on what to say. So finally comes the point where Bella is going to die a group of Large Wolves go after the Vampire. One stops and looks her in the eye and you see a human eye.(Yes we know it is Jack, you attempts at subtlety suck.) Bella remains oblivious to this. Also there is a second Vampire that Jack and friends are chasing down that has a connection to Edward. Don't know don't care.

A little later Bella's father and the relative(?) goes after the "animal" only to be attacked by the female vampire. The relive died and Bella's father avoids death when Jack shows up and chases her off.

Later Bella talks to more to Jake and his friends think that she knows what they are. So they go after him to tell her to get ride of her. She angers one of them and he goes full wolf. This is the scene where she runs away and Jack jumps over her turning into a Wolf in midair. They fight in one of the only action scenes in the entire movie. (This is a pure emo-chick flick with the illusion of a action movie). She finds out about the history that there is some kind of understanding between the Werewolves and Vampires in the area that prevents them from fully attacking each other. Jake meets Bella's Vampire friends and is awkward to say the least. Seems that they change when they get angry. (Yes they even steal the Hulk's "Don't get me angry lines".)

So Bella starts to miss Edward so she jumps of a cliff that she saw the (Shirtless buff)Werewolves in human form jumping earlier when she was trying to kill herself on a motorcycle. Well She sees Edward and the other vampire that is trying to kill her. Jake saves her and bring her home. One of Bella's vampire friends saw a vision where she had drowned. Seems that Edward saw the same thing and when he called to see if she was ok, Jake answered and told him that he had the wrong number. Bella freaks out that now that Edward things she is dead that he will try to kill himself.

So she follows Edward to Europe to find Edward trying to commit a Cardinal sin and taboo that that would force the Vampire Council to kill him. ( Imagine the Illuminate crossed with the judges of project runway, about the same effect but with glitter and hooker red lipstick.) She stops him and the two are asked to speak to the Council. All the vampire friends join the two at this stage. Seem the council sent the Female Vampire to go after Bella and wanted to kill her for knowing too much about them because of Edward. Edward fights the Council guards and gets his ass kicked. Edward is just about die when she begs the Council to kill her instead. The Council changes their tone from seeing her as a snack to the "one that we have been looking for". So they leave under the promise that Bella would be turned by one of Edward's friends because she could make a good vampire. They had a deadline to do it in.

So back in the States, Edward tells Bella that he only left to protect her having to deal with the vampires. They talk about moving her away so the Council would never find here. They go to leave and run into a shirtless Jake. They talk about saving Bella earlier and start with the verbal jabs. Jake brings up that that if the vampires turn Bella that the treaty will be broken and will result in open fighting. Edwards and Jake are about to fight (Another implied fight scene in the previews) when Bella jumps and stops them. Then she Edwards ask her to marry him and the movie ends.

Yep, that was the entire movie. Really? That's it?

So all in all a horrible movie that only a fan girl could love.

bad movies., new moon
