THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer in HD

Likes:
Jasper - hot. Great clips from the birthday sequence.

Jacob transforming into a werewolf - nothing like the creepy wolf/man thing of Harry Potter. It's well executed, which makes me extremely hopeful for the rest of the special effects.

The 3 words being included that Hardwicke didn't provide in Twilight.

Laurent with his creepy red eyes and his dialogue. Nice.

Edward's kiss on Bella's forehead.

Costumes. Yum.

Dislikes:
Bella's new look makes her look like the actress and not like the character. Sorry, it's true. Definitely a big irk as I just loved the long curly hair from before and the pale practically makeup-less look. Would have been happier to see a difference between the birthday scene and the scene with Laurent as it would have perhaps just shown Alice's influence, alas that does not seem to be the case.

Didn't like how rushed the 3 words were. It's too hastily cut or spoken... one or the other. Makes it all very awkward.

Toss-up:
I can't decide if I like or dislike the awkward delivery of a majority of the lines. I'm sure they sound better in the movie and the awkwardness would still fit with the characters as they grow throughout New Moon, but at the same time I'm wondering why some of the lines are delivered in such a jerky/jilted manner.

What are your thoughts?

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

Wow, they are really awkward, that’s what I notice. I know that they’re teenagers, but they sound very uncomfortable together. I haven’t seen the first Twilight film and I’m about 99% sure I won’t see this one for a while; this trailer hasn’t done much to convince me otherwise, if I’m being honest.

I thought the Jacob looked a bit small in werewolf form, but we only saw him for a second so I might be mistaken. I hope the scene when Edward leaves Bella in the woods turns out to be emotionally intense. Not just Kristen Stewart staring awkwardly into the trees. :)

I agree Mandi that Jacob looked like a normal sized wolf to me. They also changed how she finds out he’s a werewolf, because he definitely didn’t change in front of her. I hope they keep in his desertion of her too otherwise I’ll be very upset.

Meghan, the awkwardness worked well int he first movie, it made it more compelling and even made you feel like a voyeur watching as they fell in love. I was hoping though that the lines would have come off with a little more polish this time around though.

Well I’ll be on vacation when this movie comes out & YES!!! I am going to see it while vacationing . From the book series “New Moon” & “Eclipse” were my favs. I liked Jacob as a wolf in the preview –you don’t want him looking like an Incredible Hulk sized wolf because then it wouldn’t be believable in my opinion.I am so hyped over this movie ;can’t wait.

I’m still reading eclipse but so far my favorite book was New Moon. The way Jacob’s character is with Bella in that book I would have been all over him! The trailer looks great and I look forward to watching the movie. I agree with Susan about the wolf being a good size, however, I personally like werewolves that look like those in The Howling and Dog Soldiers.

I’m definitely going to see this. I’m curious to see how they’ve made ‘Jacob’ age to ~25 so quickly and how they do things like the separation.
Loved the shapeshifting though!
