These are some of my observations regarding on the two movies and the comparisons between them:
TWILIGHT
Likes:
1. The Baseball Meadow Scene
2. The casting of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen
3. The cool soundtrack of Twilight. I instantly fell in love with the Muse band for the "Supermassive Blackhole" song
4. The Cullen family casts except for Rosalie
5. The scene where Edward tells Bella the history of the Cullens
Dislikes
1. The casting of Nikki Reed as Rosalie (Not because I don't like Nikki Reed but because of description given to Rosalie in the Twilight Saga books. I think above the rest of the characters she was the one miscasted)
2. Some scenes in the movie are not found in the book
3. Scenes not included in the movie (who am I to contest, the director squeezed the whole book in 2hours worth of movie)
4. The costumes and the wigs (while on the book, they all look like sophisticated people)
NEW MOON
Likes
1. The casting of the wolf pack
2. The casting of the Volturi. They fit the description of the menacing Volturis. I like the participation of Dakota Fanning as Jane and Michael Sheen as Aro
3. The CGI effects in the movie. I really love how the wolves "transformed"
4. The more sophisticated look of the Cullen family (just like what is stated in the book)
5. The scene where Bella falls into depression. They really capture the emotion while doing the 360 degrees shots of how time passes while Bella is sitting in the chair
6. How Charlie depicts his characted in the book as doting dad
7. The wolf pack's abs and muscles (yummy!) :D
8. The trailer that makes you drool in anticipation
Dislikes
1. The soundtrack. I still like the Twilight soundtrack over New Moon
2. Edward's body. I'm on team Edward but I just don't like the make up they put on his abs. :P
3. I still don't like Rosalie. I know Rosalie is mean on the series but I remember in the Bella's birthday she's a little friendly to Bella (or is it my imagination?).
4. How Harry Clearwater character came in. I know in the book he's one of Charlie's bestfriends aside from Billy Black
5. The spoilers in the trailers. All the key scenes in the movie are already shown in the trailers. Now I understand why one of my friends really tried hard to control not to watch the trailer because she don't want to spoil her excitement in watching the movie.
The Perfect Volturi Casts
The drool worthy wolf pack!
Additional remarks:
I like the Twilight series and seriously, I really like both movies. Although New Moon is my least favorite book among the series (because of few Edward moments) but I do appreciate Chris Weitz depiction of the movie largely based on the book. It's not that I hate Catherine Hardwick but some of the scenes in Twilight movie are not mentioned in the book. In short Catherine Hardwick created her own Twilight version.
Another thing is, although there are lots of Twilight fans, there are also lots of Twilight haters who does nothing but to rant in the forums and threads how the movies and novels suck. I would like to take the opportunity to tell some that their problem is very simple... If they don't like a certain novel or movie, then don't read it or watch it. You just can't simple spoil the enjoyment and fullfillment other fans got from watching and reading the Twilight Saga. It just shows that they have shallow minds and wants to attract attention by just being different.
For me, if I don't like a certain things or activities I don't do it. If a certain book doesn't interest me, I DON'T READ THEM. If a certain movie doesn't interest me, I DON'T WATCH them. If a certain activities bored me, I DON'T DO THEM. And if a certain place doesn't sounds good to me, I DON'T GO THERE. In tagalog, "WALANG BASAGAN NG TRIP!"
ok till next post
