Obsession is not love--sorry kids...((possible spoilers))Sep 02, 2010 And grown a-- women who should know better. I just watched New Moon last night via Netflix. That was pretty much the only way I would watch it bc I would never have paid for a ticket. From the beginning of this series, the hype killed any interest I may have had in it. The actors were everywhere. Teens were going nuts, women my age (27) going nuts, women my MOM'S age were going nuts. It just killed any plans I had to see the movies. First movie I didn't watch til this year when we had a blizzard. As I said, I watched NM last night and it was bad. I'm a fan of Buffy, Angel, some Anne Rice, heck, I even liked that weird Jim Carrey vampire movie from before he became a star, but Twilight just bugs me. The second time around, the sparkling faces *still* don't do it for me. I'm no big fan of "Edward," but even he looked worse in this movie. "KStew's" range of emotions *still* consisted of Emo and More Emo. Out of the three, Jacob did the best acting bc he was the only one I hoped survived. He might have a future in Hollywood if he can get away from this franchise. Also, he and Edward had more chemistry than Bella had w/either one of them. Even in the last movie, the nemesis tension between them was palpable. The script was humorless which is pretty sad for a teen movie. It's obviously a moody film, but there was no typical-teen sarcasm or anything like that.
On to the story, it was utter garbage. No plot, no action, no suspense. I cringed through the entire movie. I only kept it on otherwise, it would have been a waste of my Netflix free trial. Anyway, I'm a person who can watch movies ranging from Citizen Kane to My Man Godfrey to Memento to The Hangover and enjoy them all. I'm not pretentious with entertainment, so I was honestly hoping that the series would have found a groove and improved once the 2nd movie appeared. Not so. It's still the same overly hormonal teenage stuff. It's funny because I'm an 80s baby so we had Clueless (loosely Shakespearean), Can't Hardly Wait, 10 Things (also Shakespearean), Scream, and many other teen flicks. These millennium kids have Twilight. They're getting gypped. Edward was a vision for a good chunk of the movie which suited me just fine; however, his absence caused Bella to have screaming fits at night (see: obsession). She gets closer to Jacob during this time doing pretty normal teenage stuff: motorcycles, movies, etc. She even embraces warmth. ((Which honestly, even in a fluffy movie like this, had so much potential. It would have been much more interesting if the story was written in a way that Jacob ACTUALLY had a chance. Her line: "Don't make me choose bc it would be him, meaning Edward, pretty much killed any chance for a believable triangle.)) That goes to hell once Ed's "sister" returns and you just see a regression in Bella's character. She becomes more obsessed with Edward than before. She disses Jacob who actually helped her during the time she was depressed.
Which also begs to question: what is it that draws these guys to such a downer type of girl? I mean, she's so BLAH. Edward, ok yeah, I can see it, but Jacob could do so much better. He has a nice family, nice future sis-in-law...dude, get away from this moody girl.
Disclosure: I skipped over the entire part of the movie in the temple structure or whatever. Once Edward came back, Bella started talking about turning again, and I lost interest. The only reason she wanted to turn was because she had nothing else going for her, which is pretty sad for a girl of only 18. I guess this makes me part of "Team Jacob" but that's more because there was no obsession there. Her "love" for Edward was pure obsession not based in any type of reality. She's being hunted because of him. I totally understand...who wouldn't want to be w/someone whose presence makes them a target? //total sarcasm.
As for the effects, the CGI was better this time, but still obvious. I did like the werewolf scenes. Edward and Bella also did a good bit of mumbling; I shouldn't have to turn my volume to 50 or read lips to figure out what's going on.
When the movie ended, I said "that's it?" I had no desire to see Eclipse. In fact, I went ahead and read the plot on Wikipedia just so that another Netflix movie wouldn't be wasted.

New MoonAug 24, 2010 Very good movie and the quality of the video was excellent. All the extra clips were also interesting.
TwiMom all the wayAug 22, 2010 I love this movie, so naturally, my concern was the condition that it would be in since it was used, but wow! It was like new and it was delivered to me about 2 days after ordering. I am very happy!
