Beth and I saw New Moon, the second Twilight movie. The first left out a lot of the book. It was disappointing. New Moon was better, but not great. Kristen Stewart is not particularly good, but then the role requires a quantity of moping - not all that simulating. The guys spend a lot of time shirtless – which is oh so very fine. The teenage girls in front of me sighed loudly every time Jacob took his off. It was funny.
The plot is from the book and being in a movie did not improve it. Edward is too good – a soap opera guy who says things women think they want to hear. Bella as I mentioned before is mopey and obsessive. Jacob is the only interesting one – in this book. He gets obsessive later. I do think Alice was well cast. She looks exactly as I pictured her.
It was fun, but it's not a movie I want to own.
