I reluctantly agreed to see this with a friend because I'm not a Sci-fi fan at all nor do I like movies over 1.5 hrs in length. HOWEVER, I really enjoyed this movie! It is visually stunning, intelligent and original. It was full of action, suspense and romance. It's NOT for younger kids due to intense war scenes and emotional content. Leave the kiddies at home and see this movie. I believe both men and women would really like it alot. I'm going to see it again tomorrow!
I think those who already know the story behind the movie will get the most out of seeing New Moon. For those who have not read the book, this film is a crucial turning point in the saga, so don't miss it.~ As for content, aside from one bloodless decapitation, there is no gore. Some scenes are very emotional so it's not a movie for depressed or very tender hearted people. Although it lacks the depth of the book, overall, this really is a good movie and I would see it again.
I asked my hubby to take me to this movie. He reluctantly agreed. During the movie he laughed as much as I did! I cried and he teared up (in his tough guy way). We both agreed that its a great movie and will recommend it to our friends, women and men alike. They might even learn a few things from it.
