Twilight Saga: New Moon Blu-ray Review

I’m not going to rehash how much I truly dislike Bella and basically the entire Twilight Saga. Not only that, but I strongly dislike Kristen Stewart, her off screen Moody actress persona who always has to twist her hair seems fake. Watching this movie makes me want to put a bullet in my mouth (not literally). Even after saying that, I could like this if I didn’t hate the two main characters so much. I like the Cullens, Wolfboy is ok, and I like Bella’s father. Is there anyway some super fan can pull a Jar Jar and create an internet version that doesn’t have Bella and Edward? How about a spin off series with just Alice?

Comments

Fans of this dreck should love the included 1-hour documentary, it’s full of decent information and the HD quality looks fantastic – the colors are sharp, clear and kind of vibrant. It’s almost worth the price of admission just to check this out. Unfortunately they have to include the movie, which is not served well in HD. It just highlights what an ugly, cheap looking movie this is. All the music videos are for terrible, depressing songs and to make matters worse they are all in fuzzy Standard Def.
