Pandarific!!

Today is the day it's released and i got to watch it! wow it feels kinda cool to be able to watch a movie on it's premeir date. And i noticed something today, the new moon ad in the newspapers is a bit different from the rest, normally they would put on the poster, RELEASED TODAY, but on the New Moon Ad, it RELEASED TODAY! notice the exclamation mark at the end? it's like the cinema's are so excited that it's released, of course la, they know it'll earn them big bucks.

So about the movie, to sum it up,

New Moon = Guys taking off their shirts, seriously it feel like the whole movie is just an excuse for them to show off their bodies and to get girls to go "oooh" and "ahhh". 2 scenes involving taking off shirts, countless scenes with shirtless guys and 2 very lame attempts to make the guys look cool and collected.

I wasn't all hyped up about the movie, i went to watch it because it's a so called 'must see' movie and i've already seen the first one so might as well la. Oh yes, i forgot, i get to critisize it too =). If you ask me which was better the movie or the book, i would say they're at the same level, the movie did have if i'm not mistaken all the important parts, reading the second book was a chore to me honestly. Mei Xian and i were laughing at parts where the movie director wanted girls to melt at the sight of a shirtless Edward or Jacob, when Jacob took off his shirt i went "swt", seriously. To me it looked like he was waiting anxiously to take his shirt off. Edward unbottoning his shirt and taking it off looked like he was about to star in a porn movie or something, he has got to wear his pants higher! And the warewolf pack, i dunno, did they tear off all their shirts after transforming countless times, i guess fans can argue that they don't wear their shirt because they would need to transform at any time and it would be a hassel if they tore all their shirts....then what about the pants dudes? Alice, i just love her character, happy, powerful and cute. The rest of the cullen pack had barely 5 lines in the whole movie, ahh well i guess that's why there wasn't much fuss about them. The jokes weren't funny, i don't know why people were laughing, and finally when i went out of the cinema i saw the sign "did you leave anything behind?" and i replied "my sense of humour" because well, the show kind of took that away temporarily, it's not funny, no, i guess they do try but let's just give them a clap for that eh?
Other lame scenes include, the one where Edward first appears and they made it slow motion, his hair was flying at just the right height and it's just the typical 'here comes the hot guy scene'. An irritating scene would be the one where Edward leaves Bella and she just sits by the window while the camera rotates and shows the months passing by, not only is it annoying, it makes you head spin and you can totally predict that they're just gonna turn another round around her. A scene that did not make sense was the one where she returns after riding with the biker guy, in real life, when you hop on a strangers bike, you don't get home safe and in one piece.

Now for the good points. Fight scenes were good, i reacted when the fight ended and it seemed like it was the end for Edward, the graphics for the warewolves are nicely done and it blends in well with the movie. They looked like a mix of bears and wolves, but then Jacob just looks like a wolf to me. Dakota faning was in the movie! but as mean little jane, wow i didn't expect her voice to sounds like that though. Love the italian scene and the cars ahhh, ferari, and in the classic yellow too!

The verdict? It's not a guy movie, if you're anti twilight don't let your friends pull you into watching the movie, if you're a twilight fan, go nuts then, especially if you're into the main guys. I would buy pirated DVD or watch it when it comes out on Astro. Rating 5/10
