Finally...I've seen twilight

Yes people, you heard me right. I managed to drag someone with me to go and see New Moon. I went last night for Orange Wednesdays, we decided on an early evening viewing, so the line wouldn't be too bad, it was long, but I think we missed the worse of it =P

There was a fair amount of man flesh on show, some pretty nicely toned (or spray painted in Pattinson's case) torsos. Some girls even swooned out loud when Jacob first displayed his newly ripped chest.

The effects were great, the Volturi were good and the wolves were impressive. It's a long film, but of course you expect that, and a lot would be disappointed to have it any other way.

I enjoyed it, though half way through, the guy I went with said, this is a great ending (when she was drowning). It clearly wasn't, I think he was just hoping lol. Relationships bloom and die in this film, and as you probably know, from the trailers, press or book, a love triangle develops.

It's interesting to watch Jacob's crush on Bella become realised, in the absence of Edward, she comes to depend on him and soon returns the crush. Jacob goes through more than his crush in this film though, he joins a new social group, which seems to mean you have to have short hair and only ever wear shorts. A quite enjoyable bonus for us girls I might add though ;D



I won’t spoil anything, but if you liked the first one, you’re bound to love the second. I enjoyed both, though I have to admit not as much as some people did. I just don’t get the massive hype, but don’t hold it against me, I still enjoy them =P

Hopefully I’ll go to the cinema next Wednesday, which will be the last time I’ll go this term while at uni as I’m off home for the Christmas break next weekend =D Three weeks of relaxing…and doing some revision lol.

  1. Didn't enjoy this film at all. I understand why women like it and find it entertaining, but it just drags and is very predictable even if you havn't read the book.

  2. As if you posted a clip of it - eee! mckee23 - I think you're right that it does drag, but only to people who aren't fans, like you. This is a very well-done movie for diehard lovers of the franchise
