Horror/Romance
3 stars
While the first Twilight movie was sexy, this sequel is more sappy - like the books. The first movie skipped over the sap and even added some extra gore and I wish New Moon had done the same. The movie also felt short, and omitted nuances (such as the tourist clutching her rosary while being led into the Volturi’s feeding chamber, or Jacob’s broken hearted howling wolf) that I thought would add more dimension to the screen version. I also thought some scenes, such as Bella’s fateful paper cut at her birthday party, would be more exciting. As for the shirtless guys, there is no contest; Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is hands down in fine form. Mmmm… Whereas Edward (Robert Pattinson) looked creepily emaciated and they should have shaved his chest to give him the “marble statue” look as book often describes him. Still, it’s always nice to see the book played out on the big screen, and Bella’s friends Rebecca and Mike made for some good comic relief (Kristen Stewart, Anna Kendrick, and Michael Welsh, respectively). Oh, and the wolves were cool! I liked it, and I may have to see if again for another eyeful of Jacob’s rockin’ bod. Oooohhh…
