New Moon - The Movie

So, I finally went to see New Moon, the movie, on Tuesday. After seeing the trailer I must say that my expextations were pretty low. And perhaps because of that I didn't think it sucked. But I have to say I think the acting was pretty bad. The only time when Robert Pattinson actually looked "alive" was at the very end when he told Bella his condition for turning her himself. There's this teasing smile and twinkle in his eyes that makes me see why people thinks he is so attractive. Otherwise, he was kind of flat. Kristen Stewart too. I don't really like how she portraits Bella. She makes her more helpess than she actually is.But I do like Taylor Lautner's Jacob. He seems so genuine.

There is now way you can even begin to compare the novel with the movie. So much is lost. Sure, I think New Moon is better than Twilight, but that's mainly because it's more action in New Moon. And then there is the problem with not liking the actors. ;) Therein lies the problem with liking a book so much. The expectations are so high and you want the movie to be as you have pictured it in your head. But I have found that it's better to have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed.

The soundtrack, however, is great! Check it out! :)

Pattinson doesn't do it for me

I rewatched Twilight yesterday. Had to see if I found Robert Pattinson more compelling or not. I didn't. I don't know what it is, but there is something I don't like about him. Sure, he's a good looking guy and all, but not my type at all. There's something about the mouth I think. And I'm not that impressed by Kristen Stewart either. No, the book is still way better than the movie.

I know that you probably think I'm weird that is not swooning about Robert Pattinson, everybody seems to love him. I swoon about Edward, Edwards in the book.Perhaps Pattinson will grow on me, but I'm still on the fence. You know, even my hubbie thinks I'm weird that I don't fancy Pattinson, since everybode else does... ;)(Ok, yeah so, he's kinda hot on that pic on the left... I'll give you that.)

And also I was annoyed with things that they had missed. I get that it's hard to make a movie out of a book. And I get that you can't fit everything in there. And, sure, it's not half bad, but still... Things that are so important in the book, is not even mentioned in the movie. Things that she doesn't do in the book, she does in the movie...

I'll probably go to see New Moon together with my friend though. Even if I'm already shocked about the trailer. Already in the trailer I can see thins that are wrong. But I'll do it for her. She's pregnant and all... :P
