Excellent
PostedNovember 23, 2009
Thank you, again, to a wonderful cast and crew for bringing this story to life. I am a Twilight mom, and my 13 year old daughter and I loved this movie. I really enjoyed Twilight, but New Moon is much more sophisticated in terms of film style, editing, story line continuity, and special effects. Well done. The only thing I would have liked to see more emphasized is that Edward did not function any better than Bella when he left her. In other words, they were both completely miserable without each other; it was not just the girl who was depressed. I just hope Bella's reaction to losing Edward does not influence girls who read New Moon and see this film negatively. Girls, NO BOY IS WORTH LOSING YOURSELF. NEVER FORGET THAT!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Superb story, great acting, poor filming decisions

I enjoyed this movie, but I have to say I am disappointed with some of the filming decisions. While I appreciated the effort to include the primary, dark story as well as the light/teen love part, I feel this movie lacked the flow evident in the 5th movie, also directed by Yates. In addition, where was the climax? The end of the book is a glorious fight of good vs. evil, Harry being unable to help Dumbledore as he faces his end, and saying goodbye to a beloved character. With an ending like that, there is no need to change it for cinematic purposes. It is perfect . . . don't mess with perfection! On the other hand, thank you to the actors in this film (and previous) for bringing the Harry Potter stories alive!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
