Uh-Oh! New Moon Should Have Been Better

Find out what Marc thinks of that little vampire flick no one else is talking about

Not that I'm presuming what I think about New Moon will have any effect on ticket sales, but this being the big day, I just felt I had to vent a little.

Sad to say, but I had some problems with the movie. I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to.

The corny dialogue irked me, Taylor Lautner's overpumped bod on the big screen is way too meathead and did Kristen Stewart actually enjoy kissing Robert Pattinson's Christmas cranberry red lips?

The computer-generated werewolves were cool. But they seemed to be in the wrong movie. They were too slick for this flick.

Don't worry, I do have some nice things to say...

I loved the Volturi fight scene. Reminded me of 300 and the Matrix.

I wanted to see more of Dakota Fanning. Her evil-eyed stare was perfectly creepy.

I'm obviously not the only one who had some problems with the movie. Will any of the criticism stop New Moon form breaking box-office records? Heck, no!

And it won't stop Breaking Dawn from being made either. Don't be surprised if Summit announces any minute now that the fourth Twilight movie has been given the official greenlight.

For now, let the Eclipse countdown begin. Even if I didn't dig New Moon, I still can't wait to see director David Slade's take on Edward, Bella and the rest of the gang.
