My experience watching New Moon was a very good one. Even though my friends ditched out on me, I hung out with a strange group but totally didn't care once the movie started. Let me just say what I thought of it in one word: Awesome.

The trailers DO NOT do the movie justice. The werewolves look way better running around and fighting than they do in the trailers. To see them walk and do things really changes your perspective. The werewolves were executed brilliantly. Truly capturing what I understood to be when I read the novel. They are EXACTLY how I pictured them actually, so I think they director and cast did a swell job!

I'm starting to become 100% tolerant of all the silly things they changed about Vampires. The sparkling for instance, for some reason totally makes sense now. This is a whole different type of Vampire, and I think its healthy to have different types for people to choose from. I get so sick of people bawwwwing about how they glitter. All I can say to them is digitally flip them off and tell them to go watch a freakin' vampire movie they like and to get over their whining. Vampires are whatever, and these Vampires are indeed unique and are not wimpy at all. They can be creepy and incredibly vicious (as I saw with the Vulturi. So don't call them pansy vampires. Pretty much the Cullen's are the 'boring' Vamps who don't torture and gruesomely kill their victims. They are still the same-o horror movie type vamps like the rest.

There is less of a lovey dovey feel to this one. The focus is really on Bella's suffering while Edward is gone, and her growing friendship with Jacob. I gotta say, I used to hate loath Jacob in every way , but he grew on me in the film. It is rather sad that he gets shafted when Edward comes back, but it also makes you understand Edward and Bella's relationship. And personally, I think this movie makes Bella less of a Mary-Sue. Honestly if my husband left me like Edward did, even before we were married, I'd be insanely traumatized too. It's a very realistic thing, especially when two people love each other so much. I know what that's like, so for those of you who don't, don't make fun of the fact she's incredibly depressed and dependent on Edward.

Also funny tidbit spoiler, they make fun of the age difference between them. She calls him "old man" and that's gross. It's rather humorous, but in all seriousness, this isn't your regular case of pedophilia. In fact, its nothing like it. It's the physical part that I think counts, and technically, they are still both teenagers.

As for the actual experience in the theater, I was pleased with it. I was still surrounded by very young middle-school-drama girly girls with their (wanna be) boyfriends giggling at every shirtless part, but thank GOODNESS there were no loud crazy screams or excessive talking. The movie was a quiet enjoyable experience, regardless of the fact I had to watch it by myself.

Also, this guy showed up looking exactly like Edward!!!!!!
The image does no justice to seeing him in real life. I seriously thought it was Rob at first. And he had glitter all over his skin, and even the Cullen crest bracelet (which you can't see), right down to the shoes he was wearing. Heck even his voice was accurate. He played the roll the entire time he was in the theater. It was incredibly accurate and I just have to tip my hat to the guy.

Well, my experience was a good one. Sorry if I sounded harsh to a view of you who delight in bashing the books and film, but my doing so isn't out of hate. It's annoyance. Especially when so many haven't even read the books first. The book is still better in my opinion, but the movie really comes close second. It was funny, witty, sad, action-packed, and of course, romantic when it needed to be. I really think the acting, personalities, and of course the directing was definitely stepped up a ton from the first movie. If you are worried its going to be a let down like the first one, DON'T. Seriously. You will not be disappointed. This movie has something for everyone!

Thanks for reading, and I'm highly geeking out over the series again. I seriously wanted to watch it again right after it was over. It sure does leave you hanging at the end. I won't say why. I LOVE VAMPIRES! I may be an anthro artist, but deep down I love vampires equally with werewolves. I just wish I had the will power to draw more humans.

You WILL see some Twilight art coming from me soon. I'm going to attempt it and add it to my To Do List for sure. So stay tuned.

And while I'm here I might as well say that I'm leaving Saturday instead of today, so I'll attempt to finish up and work on more commissions today. ^_^ Love you all!
