But again, Chris Weitz doesn’t give his cast a chance to do anything. It even drafts in great performers like Michael Sheen and a grown up Dakota Fanning and criminally gives them little to do. To clutter things even further, we get a trip to Italy where we meet the Volturi, a rival tribe of vampires. That would have made a far more substantial story, and lent The Twilight Saga: New Moon a dynamic it desperately lacks. But the film introduces her, and then just forgets about her.
She wants to kill Bella to avenge the death of her lover. The Twilight Saga: New Moon brings back Victoria, the vamp from Twilight baying for Bella’s blood. And because Stephanie Meyer has given him a dull story to tell its a dull film as well. Like TGC, he recreates scenes on a page without the flavour to animate it. Weitz has stayed faithful to the book, but therein lies the problem. New Moon isn’t quite the disaster The Golden Compass was, but its still a disappointment. Why Meyer would trust him to lay a finger on The Twilight Saga: New Moon is anyone’s guess? After The Golden Compass bankrupted New Line Cinema, that should have made Weitz unemployable. An excellent book with a rich, fully realised culture all its own destroyed by someone with no feel or affinity for the text. Weitz had already ruined one great fantasy novel with The Golden Compass. Having already endured the dull read that was New Moon. Hoping to start a new franchise along the lines of a Harry Potter or a Lord of the Rings. IMDB Rating: 4.6 Director: Chris Weitz Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner The Twilight Saga: New Moon Review: When The Twilight Saga: New Moon became a global phenomenon, Hollywood rushed into production the rest of the series.
