I don't really have any dislikes about the movie. Laughs, yes, but no dislikes. Hear that Harry Potter?? The Twilight franchise is doing a much better job than you. Please to fix that for the final films. Kthnx.
The acting got tons better in New Moon. Everyone seemed so natural and less contrived (ie: Twilight hospital gibberish). I think it's clear that all the actors have become good, close friends. The chemistry comes naturally.
The CGI was much better. (Of course, the budget was more than doubled for this installment.) The vampire movements were enjoyable to watch. Slowing things down to simulate high speeds is always a winning choice. The vampire fight scene was cool and appropriately short and sweet. The wolves looked nice and fierce.
I'm glad they made Laurent pale.
I did not mind Dakota Fanning. In fact, after seeing her on Ellen I have deemed her un-creepy and actually a charming, young woman.
I highly enjoyed the dream sequence with old Bella. It conveyed Bella's fears of her future quite nicely.
Jessica continues to trip. me. out. She is so dry and funny. If you haven't checked out the actress, Anna Kendrick, in a movie called Rocket Science, you so should. Bump that to #1 on all your Netflix queues.
Victoria's scenes were so eerie. I'm so sad to not finish the saga with Rachelle Lefevre. She is tops. And wtf Summit? Why did you not pursue Michelle Trachtenberg as a replacement for that role? They look exactly alike. Bryce Dallas Howard is lovable, but no.
It makes me so amused that they, once again, made Edward's entrance a heart-stopping, oh-so-sexy, slowed-down, wind-blown, guitar-soloed knee melter. So. Funny. And Bella catching her breath again like it was the first time seeing him. Hilarious. And all the making out. That's what I'm talking about. They were so timid in Twilight. But I enjoy Edward's remaining pained look in doing it. While Bella can barely keep herself from crawling down his throat. Heehee. I'm looking forward to seeing a Breaking Dawn kiss that Edward actually enjoys-enjoys.
And that cliff hanger! Omg. I wooooonder what will happen;)
Laughs:
-Still not sure why Edward was driving a black Volvo. Or why he parked like that.
-Paul's anger was a bit silly.
-Did they have to get such a dumpy, scuzzy motorcyclist for the Port Angeles scene? Ain't nobody gonna take a ride wit him.
-Teehee to Alice's vision of Bella's future. As though the running gleefully through the forest wasn't silly enough, they put Bella in a five year old's dress. No.
-I know Marcus is supposed to look sickly but the drag-queen-with-swollen-ankles look made me bwaha.
This article is very good and I agree with all the assessments. I really want to see it again but I doubt I will have time. I'm so ready for the DVD:)
