"The New Moon" - Bolder & Sensitive

Ok, here was the new sequel on the Twilight Saga, "The New Moon" which we saw in theaters (with all the plumbing issues that is going on in my home, this was a relief) and guess what... I felt it to be much much better than the first movie. I am sure most of the reviews said otherwise, but somehow I felt the screenplay to be much better and neat than the previous one. I really liked the screenplay which included almost everything right from her dream, to the marriage proposal :). Well the ending was more abrupt but I guess you cannot explain each and everything on screen under a time limit. This would anyway require people to read the book to understand them especially on why the line "Marry me !" made Bella dumbstruck :).

Jacob's character gets all the appreciation in this movie, as it does in the book. Taylor Lautner was perfect for the role, with a perfect balance of his sensitive and violent wolfy side. He shifted between them with ease. Edward showed more pain on his face than the romance, but I guess I am getting used to Robert as Edward, even though I still dont approve of his for a Vampire (or may be I just cant seem to approve of anyone else either). Kristen was much better as Bella this time than she was in Twilight. I had less of Alice (Ashley Greene). She is always a pleasure to watch (even in the first movie) :)

Well I definitely liked it because the graphics were cool, the action extreme, the romance perfect, the confusion on the relationships neatly shown. Well 100% better than the first and much sincere to the book with a good screenplay. CatchIt!!!
