Anything goes…

I much as I really want to say something like “Marvelous!” or “Excellent!” or “Bellisima!” , my mouth would not move. It just wants to say that it was a good movie. I thought of a lot of ways to destroy the flick but since I’m a fan of the book, I would not do it here.

I say it’s just a nice date movie for those couples who don’t mind hearing little mushy stuffs every twenty minutes or so. It’s a not a movie that was made for the Oscars nor the critics to acclaim but mainly and most specially for the millions of screaming Twilight fans. Guys my just watch it because their girlfriends read the book or they are a Rob Pattison fan.

As for it’s accordance to the book, the development was really fast, some of the important things like Bella cooking for his father, the time it took Bella & Edward to find the meadow and some conversations between Edward & Bella in the Volvo while going to school were omitted. The story in the movie was fast as if Edward and Bella already had known each other before they’ve met while in the book it took quite a while for Edward to get to speak to Bella. The supposed to be powerful line, “And so the lion fell for the lamb.” was acted so-so. I expected a more intense exchange as it was in my imagination. In my opinion, they should have extended the movie for half an hour or maybe for an hour for that character development.

For the highlights, the fun started at the baseball scene up to the last. What movie has shown Vampires playing baseball? I gotta say that the Cullen’s abilities were by the book. The Edward-James fight scene was something that cannot be missed. James was held by Edward’s brother’s, Alice broke his neck and then burned in the ballet room while Bella was trembling because of the venom. The last scene was the most romantic where Edward & Bella got to dance. I thought they were floating when Edward put Bella to stand on his feet as said in the book but it looked like they were just dancing as is, no whirling.

And oh, I just cannot just let this pass because major in biology: it is the scene where Edward and Bella were checking out the onion cell stages. They were just passing the microscope without MOVING the slides! It is impossible to find ALL cell stages in just one field of view for some very important reason. Believe me. No matter how good one is or has a PhD in Biology like my Genetics teacher, we will still have a hard time identifying the stages in a snap!

My sister is excited for New Moon but so am I!
