Guy's Perspective: Twilight Movies

by Peter

New Moon was a very interesting movie. At first I was very lost but than I started to understand the point. I would only recommend seeing it if you’ve seen Twilight first. If you have not seen Twilight and go into New Moon blind, you won’t have any idea what’s going on.

From a guy’s perspective of the movie and not being a huge fan of Twilight, it was an okay movie. It was a little slow in my opinion at the beginning but it sped up later and it had some good computer animation. The acting was decent in my opinion, but not great. Kristin Stewart wasn’t horrible but she wasn’t great. I thought she could have done a little better but I didn’t read the books so I don’t know how she was supposed to act; I just didn’t think she was that convincing. Robert Patterson did a great job I thought, he didn’t have a big as a role as I thought he would but when he was on scene I thought he was pretty good.

So overall I thought the movie was pretty good, it wasn’t totally appealing for a guy but I was impressed, and it leaves you interested on what the 3rd movie will be like.
