There
you have it. My review basically in a
nut shell. A whole bunch of words and
reasons saying how amazing it really is.
Yes, total Twi-hard here. I love
the books and as great as the movies are the books always better, however, this
one came so close. Yes, gasp, you read
that right.
First
this movie had all the stuff from before.
It picks up with Bella waking up a vampire. She is newborn strong and has some trouble controlling
her new found power at first. She is so
happy finally a feeling like she fits in, for one but also she has a family. Things aren't always great, worry and jazz
about Reneseme and all. Then there is
the Volturi, yep they are a bad set of vampires, are on their way to right an
injustice. This calls to ban together
others to witness on their behalf. Will their
band plus the pack be enough or will all out war ensue? That is the question.
This
movie is very quick. Everything moves
along never stopping. There are so many
of the scenes I was looking forward to seeing played out and some that we only
heard about being from Bella's POV. One
in particular features Jacob and Charlie.
HEHE I just got all giggly thinking about that again.
Now
aside from that anyone who has read the books and saw the trailer can see a
major chance, one that can alter the whole story. Yeah I was skeptical when I went in both
nervous and excited for it. Well let me
tell you I was blown away by the movie.
I liked the change. Now don't get
me wrong I was with everyone else who was shocked silent or to tears or well
both. Me, me who can see things coming
and in part I did was surprised. Now
here is where I can't say much, being as anti-spoiler as I am, but I will say
it was amazing and fit so well I feel like I was in the book.
For
those of you who have seen it then you know the part I'm talking about. It was good to see it if only for the hehe
moment at the end. Plus for me the
action was well paced and very fitting.
The book, as much as I love it, did always feel a bit anti-climatic that
is not the case by any means for the movie.
I for once can't think of any particular scene from the book that I was
dying to see that wasn't in there.
Everyone did a great job and I loved getting to know the other covens as
well. It was a great look at some of the
different types. Now the wolf pack,
minus Jacob, didn't get screen time in human form in this one but it's amazing
how you can feel so attached to even a CGI wolf. Though at the end of the movie in the credits
they give a nod to everyone, from all the movies all the main characters.
This
was a great note to end on though it saddens me deeply. This series was special to me because this is
what got me reading again all through meeting friends who recommended it as a
young Moonlight love story. I found
passion again to read and so many great memories and friends from our midnight
showings.
I
can no wait to see this movie again and I'm counting the days until it comes
out on DVD so I can watch it again and again.
I give this movie 5 stars if you had any doubts. So check it out and tell me what you
think. I can't quit talking about
it. If you have seen if what did you
think? Did you spaz out at that one
aforementioned part?
I'm going to see it this Sunday! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it so much - now I'm really excited to see it.
