"It's like a huge hole has been punched through my chest," Bella says.
Well... watching New Moon was just like punching a huge hole through my brain and twirl it around. Yes... it is THAT bad.
I feel underestimated by the way the movie represent the female lead, the sad and naive Bella Swan.
There is no message to speak of... well, not a good one, anyway. There seem to be three here that are particularly wrong to be sending to the intended teenage female audience.
The first is about the importance of external beauty. The second is about how life is not worth living without a man. The third is about how infatuation equals love, and that when you "love" someone, you should give up everything for them, even if it's dangerous to your well-being.
New Moon romanticizes the idea of suicide, and also Bella’s obsession over vampires.
Lastly, New Moon may be unoriginal and flimsy, but... thanks to Jacob Black and his werewolves pack, they made me sit through the whole story. Although I find it's hard to digest how a 16-17 years old boy can be so.... buff, so built.
Perhaps it should simply be taken as mindless fun; you can enjoy it as long as you don't use your brain too much (i.e., at all). So when you're watching the movie, just "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream..."

Analytical VM hasnt changed at all. Yes, I agree with you, the whole idea of the movie is already stupid. How can a woman loves such a man that way, vice versa. We were mercilessly forced to sit and not complain about that.
Well, apart from the stupidity, Kristen Stewart's beauty goes beyond all lines. And thanks for the beautiful music as the background. It is 4 out of 10.
Ary, through the whole film I feel like I'm being forced to watch. And yes, Kristen Stewart IS very pretty, too pretty to be so naive.
Apart from the music, I was enjoying Jacob Black's built body - had to be steroid - but I'm not complaining.
