The wait is over! My Review on New Moon.

Last night at 9:00 pm I lined up with my family and hundreds of other "Twi-Hards" at the theatre. They were having a 10:00 pm Advanced Screening. Here were my thoughts.

*SPOILER ALERT*

First, overall I thought the movie was absolutely BRILLIANT. Chris Weitz I thank you :)

I thought the first scene of Edward as an old woman was perfect. It had the same exact same feeling that I felt when I read the book. The whole theatre giggled a bit when Charlie came in saying "Happy Birthday" and did his little bit.

At school for her birthday I thought it was pretty great. I do have to say though that I thought Ashley Greene's acting wasn't as good as I expected. The scene where Edward and Bella were watching Romeo and Juliet was different, it was at school instead of at home at Bella's house. I didn't mind so much because it was pretty much the same in a different setting, and we all got to see Eric Yorkie cry :P

The Birthday Party. I'm speachless. Absolutely perfect. Even thought Edward and Alice left way before they did in the book, I still thought it was fantastic. The atmosphere and the whole feeling of happiness before the dreaded paper cut was perfect and showed how sad it was afterwards. As we all saw in the first trailer, Bella got a huge birthday cake, in the movie the part where they showed the cake and when Alice even mentioned it was cut.
The break up. I felt this came a little too soon. It didn't show enough about how sad he was and how he changed so much since before the birthday party. But nonetheless, the breakup seen was also amazing. Chris Weitz really captured the sadness and the pain.

In the book Stephenie shows time going by by having that October, November, December, January. In the movie they did the same but it showed Bella sitting in front of the window and you could see outside as Fall, and then it circled around so you could see Bella's face, and each month that went by you could see the seasons slowly changing out the window. Here is when you start to hear Bella as if she's writing to Alice. I thought this was a nice touch to the story. It was Bella trying to reach her best friend and finding away to act like she's still there, but they never even get to Alice.

When Bella goes to the movies with Jessica, instead of just walking up to the guys, she gets on one of their motorcyles with one of the guys. I didn't mind this little change because I thought that it kind of worked. Bella walked towards the guy because she got the flashback, but then when Edward started talking to her it was the only way she could hear/see him again.

Bella brings the motorcycles to Jacob and they start hanging out. As soon as Jacob is in the picture the mood of the scene is so happy and light. I think Taylor Lautner really fit the part of Jacob. Soon after Bella brings the motorcycles to Jacob they are finished and they go out riding. The first time Bella is about to go and she hears/sees Edward and lurches forward. Then she goes again and speeds off, driving past Edward a few times. Then she loses control and goes tumbling off her motorcycle hitting her head. Jacob jumps on his motorcycle and rides professionally to Bella's aid. Then WAM BAM, his shirt comes off to dab the blood on Bella's head. :) -cue the screaming fan girls-

In the book, Bella goes to see Crosshairs with Mike and Jacob but in the movie they go to see a movie called FacePunch...I think that is a very stupid name. I'm sorry it just sounds silly...

Mike has to leave and gets sick. While Mike is in the bathroom, Jacob and Bella talk on the stairs of the movie theatre. I thought it was very cute. But then Mike comes out saying he has to go home and Jake threatens to put him in the hospital and freaks out. Then they all leave.

Basically from then until Jake comes in her window is the same as the book, which I think is good. Except that she goes looking for the meadow alone when she can't see Jacob and finds it.

When she finds out that he is a werewolf she goes to see him and he is sleeping. Then she sees the pack and goes out and pushes Sam and slaps Paul. Paul spazzes out, phases and goes for Bella and that is when Jacob comes to save Bella.

Bella goes to Emily's with Jared and Embry. I thought the way they did Emily's scars was really good and I thought Tinsel was a perfect Emily.

Bella goes home, Jake tells her that she is safe from Victoria. Since they are hunting her she can't hang out with Jake as much so she decides to go cliff diving. When she is on her way up there it cuts between her, her dad and Harry hunting the wolves and Jacob and the pack looking for Victoria.. Harry runs into Victoria who grabs him by the neck and he has a heart attack. I thought this was a good way to explain his heart attack. Jacob chases Victoria to the cliff edge where she jumps into the water. Then Bella jumps, Jake pulls her out of the water and saves her, takes her home where Alice is waiting.

Alice tells Bella about what she saw. Jacob comes back to protect Bella and they almost kiss when Edward (pretending to be Carlisle) calls and interrupts. Edward makes the decision to try to kill himself which Alice sees. Bella and Alice rush to save Edward. Bella runs through the crowds of people in Volterra and gets to Edward. Felix and Demetri shows up saying Aro would like to speak to them. Edward says the Bella should leave and they says she comes with them and Edward says "you can go to hell" then Alice comes in and tries to break up the fight. Jane comes down the halls and says Aro sent her to see what was taking so long and walks away. I didn't think Dakota was a very fitting Jane. Jane is supposed to look sweet, angelic and childish, but Dakota was darker and older. They get to the room with the Volturi and Aro is so happy and reads Edwards thoughts. This whole scene was pretty much the same as the book except that there is a fight between Edward and Felix. Alice then tells Aro that she plans to change Bella herself and they are free to go.

Edward still is persistant that she will not be changed so she goes over to the Cullens for a vote to see if they want to change her and the all vote yes except for Rosalie and Edward. When they get home Jacob is waiting for them. Bella says she chooses Edward, and Jacob phases and almost fights with Edward but Bella stops them. Jacob leaves and Edward and Bella talk about Bella being changed. Bella says she wants Edward to change her and he says he has one condition "Marry Me" and then the credits roll.

In my opinion that ending wasn't the greatest but it sure is a cliffhanger and really makes you want to see Eclipse.

Sorry that was so long but I couldn't leave anything out. What did you think of the movie?
