ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

4/5

I love the movie albeit its weaknesses, and I can't wait to watch it again. Seriously. *cheering for Team Alice*


There are things I love, like and don't like in the movie. Let's start with what I don't like. By the way, this review is quite sporadic and un-polished.. O_o


NEGATIVE
*Some scenes have fast transition and they were quite troublesome. -0.5

*I think I wasn't able to see the sun and stars of the Philippine flag. :P

*When Bella was surfing the net for you-know-what, there was no link about the Philippines. Well, you can't really find a website about Danag with profound information. But I felt a little bad. Was it because RP is a third world country?

*The prom. When Bella found out Edward's taking her to the prom. The Cullens, especially Rosalie and Alice. I'm writing here like in a "telegram" because I don't like spoilers. (This disappointment cost this movie half point.)



SWITZERLAND
*Rob Pattinson. Sometimes he is so Edward Cullen, but sometimes he just makes me look for Edward. Of course, the "stupid shiny Volvo owner" was described as god-like and perfect. That's no easy task portraying him.

When James said, "You brought a snack." Edward looked like he was about to vomit. Peace, Rob! ^_^V

*I think Angela was too animated than what I pictured her to be (while reading the book).

*Jasper. He was really funny, especially with Bella around. But I think Rathbone can breathe from time to time. There's no need to be always stiff. :p

*The soundtrack. I do like the songs, when they were played in the movie. I haven't appreciated the songs before I watched the movie. Anyways, there's something about the choice of songs. I am not sure what., but I'd say they're not your typical choice for a movie whose audience range from teenagers to mid-twenties.


POSITIVE
*It was all green! I love how they showed the beauty of the "Olympic Peninsula." Breath-taking! 6/5

*Kristen Stewart. There's no denying here that Kristen did very well as Bella, especially in the ballet studio when she had the venom and when she was confined because of her injuries. 5/5

*Alice Cullen. I love Alice! Ashley did awesome as Ashley. I love how she played during the baseball game. I think Alice was the only vampire in the movie who has a musical voice, like how Stephenie Meyer described the vamps. I think Victoria/Lefevre is next to her. 7/5 I think I'm being biased here. But justified.

*Dr. Carlisle Cullen. During his first appearance, everyone in the movie house gasped. Me included. Breath-taking! Carlisle entered the ward like a Hollywood star and as someone so beautiful (in a vampire way). Facinelli portrayed Carlisle as described by Bella, and the audience's reaction was like Bella's. I give him 6/5.

*Rosalie is not your typical blonde b*tch, but you know there's more to that beauty. She's bloody dangerous. She's just not as optimistic as the rest of her family. 5/5

*Victoria. Rachelle Lefevre's feline-imitation practices paid off. I like her. 5/5

*The Cullens' cars. *dazzled*

*I like how Billy Burke portrayed Charlie Swan. It was lily-white.

There are plenty of comedy in this film, IF you've read the book. :p

I think I've seen two Midnight Sun scenes. Those may not be so loyal to MS but there were similarities. I am now more curious about the Midnight Sun shot Hardwicke said she did.

~Stephenie Meyer


I read Twilight for the second time. It took me 11.59 hours before. This time, it only took me 9.07 hours. Reasonable speed. I've become a vampire! LOL.

I started digging the book last Friday night and finished it yester night. But I couldn't believe it. I did not make any blog entry about (reading) Twilight. Why? I must've been excited pursuing New Moon.

Anyways, I love the book. I'm not going to write any technical here. I love the characters. I like how Edward resisted the wine while enjoying the bouquet. I love Bella's sarcasm. And I also love Rosalie's BMW M3 convertible. *drools*

As of now, I am deliberating if should read New Moon again. Losh.
