This movie is also very good. I love the storyline about the werewolves and Jacob's friendship, but I miss the connection between Bella and Edward. I missed the romance and the frustration they always felt although there was some towards the end of the movie.
I think Robert Patinson's fame is short-lived. He is good as Edward but he is not all that great looking and his skinny body does nothing for me. It feels like he is constantly posing for a photo shoot and he wears way too much makeup.
Don't get me wrong I still want Bella and Edward to be together and this is a very intriguing saga. The introduction of Dakota Fanning as an evil vampire with red eyes was a little weak. I look forward to her developing her character in the next movie.
Taylor Lautner as Jacob, the buff werewolf, was the star of this sequel with his beauty, constant friendship and strong animal like qualities. When he took his shirt off for the first time, a young girl in the audience screamed and soon many others made noises too. It reminded me of young teens swooning at an Elvis concert. He is gorgeous to look at and his sensitivity to Bella is quite attractive.
The Volturi family and their special powers was a little confusing to me, and the solution to their situation was a little unbelievable, but if you read the books, it may have been clearer. I am sorry to say I have not read the books.
This movie leaves me with questions unanswered like how can you take pictures of vampires and why is Bella's mind so special?
I am not a teenager anymore but I really enjoy this series. I look forward to new information about the characters being revealed and how Bella will eventually be turned.
Trivia
Bella wears a moon stone ring throughout the saga.
This director never made a vampire movie or any sequel of any kind before. Not bad for a beginner.
All of the boys who played the werewolves were of indian descent and were required to present proof of such to be in the move.
I loved it. Good job, Debra. I saw the first one. It seemed a bit over the top for me and i found myself giggling at it's soap opera-like drama. However, I heard the second one was really good. I will have to see the second one. My sister reads the books and says the books are better so maybe we should read the books now too. ;) thx for the review ~shavone
ReplyDeleteI saw the first movie, and it was entertaining, though not really the kind of movie I usually go for. What I liked most about it was the wet, gloomy Washington weather and scenery.
