Another review from Miranda:
New Moon is no doubt on its way to becoming one of the biggest movies of the year. It already made $26.3 million at North American box offices in midnight showings on Friday morning and is on track to make much more. I just so happened to see it with some of my friends last night and let me tell you; it was so good! The movie starts off with Bella Swan’s birthday, and how she is fretting becoming older than her never-aging vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen. Later at a party hosted by the Cullens (I don’t want to give to much away) let’s just say Bella quickly becomes dessert for one of the Cullens when an accident happens. This makes Edward leave Bella fearing she is no longer safe with him. After months of being alone, Bella finds comfort in her friend Jacob Black. Jake isn’t who he appears to be though. After a misunderstanding occurs Bella must race to save Edward in Italy, who is trying to kill himself because he thinks Bella is dead. Once everything is settled, the movie ends with a cliffhanger that had everyone in the theater groaning. Not because it was a bad ending (just the opposite in fact), but because we realize that now we have to wait to be thrown back into the world of Bella, Edward, and Jake. As I’m sure you’ve seen in trailers 9 out of 10 times the wolf pack is shirtless and even Mr. Edward Cullen takes his shirt off once. The action is good, not too scary but not too cheesy. New Moon definitely exceeded my expectations.
Is it right for kids: The rating is PG-13, but 12 year-olds should be fine and if they’ve read the book, there are no surprises.
