New Moon!

Of course I had to go see New Moon as soon as I could. As I've said before, I was disappointed by the first movie, but the trailer for this one looked pretty intense so I was pretty excited for it to come out. So on one of my weekend trips to Burley, a bunch of my family got together to go see it. It was interesting that out of the eight of us in our group, only two or three had actually read the book, so it was fun watching the movie with them and seeing what they thought.

And now for my movie review:

WOW!! This movie was AMAZING! Sooo Sooo SOOO much better than the first one. I was nervous about how the animation would be with the wolves and how they would do it without making it look cheesy, but I thought they did a great job. And I don't know what it was about the characters, but even their acting seemed better and more believable. I liked Kristen Steward and Rob Pattinson a lot more in this film compared to Twilight. And Taylor Lautner!...enough said.

I also liked the screenplay to New Moon better than Twilight; it seemed to stay truer to the book. However there were a couple of parts they changed and a couple of cheesy parts that I didn't like - but not enough for me to not enjoy it. I couldn't believe how fast the time went by - I easily could have sat there for another hour and not have noticed. I've heard that the next movie should be coming out next June so that will be exciting - not too long to wait!

So now I have a dilemna: Team Edward or Team Jacob? I've ALWAYS been Team Edward before, but now I'm just undecided. Good thing it's not a make it or break it decision right? :) Here's a pic of some of us in attendance that blessed night: Jill, Me, Syd, Jamie, Kelsi and not pictured: Linds, Tysi, and my momma (she sure got a kick out of it!)
