Is there any point reviewing a film such as New Moon? There is already a mass (mainly teenage and female) audience foaming at the mouth for the next instalment of Bella, Edward etc, and even if the film was a dud they would still shriek it’s brilliance to the rafters. So, is it any good? Not really, but for what its target audience is, you could say it’s a smart approach. What the audience demand, they get. Teenage sulks, rippling six packs, a lot of pouting; its all here and more. As for the acting, Kristen Stewart gives a much improved performance, but Robert Pattinson is totally charisma free. There are also a few laughs to be had (a dodgy airplane joke being the best one), though quite a few of them unintentional. However, this all kind of adds to its charm. I watched it in a full cinema on opening night and the audience reaction was almost one of Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque proportions. So, while it’s hardly cinematic brilliance, you should still be guaranteed an entertaining night out.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
Is teenage pouting and men running around with their shirts off really a basis for a film? Adjust rating either way depending on your view of this statement. Rating: 5/10
