Another world A naive story of vampire love, like the dreams of a young romantic girl-dreamer, about a similarly naive and madly in love heroine. It would seem that in moderation was the first story. Clans, handsome vampires, bloodsuckers-vegetarians and a lot of first love romance on the motives of school adaptation. Why the sequel? Because that would once again make young girls dream, let down a tear, sigh, looking at half-naked pumped torsos and pretty pale and slender faces, to worry about parting and again experience all the sorrows and charms of romance.
In order not to torment the very same thing, in the sequel, the war of clans was replaced by a confrontation between vampires and werewolves, resulting in a girlish version of the film “Another World”, where instead of the gothic Beckinsale on the screen, glamorous Stewart bites the lower sponge, repeating the signature movements of the main Hollywood nymphet Alicia Silverstone in the best years of her youth.
In the head when watching a pole there is only one phrase belonging to Dani Glover - "I'm too old fot this shit", and if children's / family films are actually returned to the period of childhood and have their own driving enthusiasm, then such a teenage snotty movie does not excite the soul of a fragment of a teenager and does not cause a wave of memories of first love, but only makes you sigh tiredly, watching how the puppet director is controlled, then and then playing with the camera and a beautiful visual.
This is perhaps the main advantage of the film. He's flawless technically. Weitz is a skilled craftsman-visualizer who loves to spin the camera around the character, show beautiful landscapes, show the change of weather seasons and just beautifully present the shot. Such a story should be beautiful. Stupid, incredibly naive, sometimes funny, but only if all this tearful romance was beautiful. This is the fundamental difference of the sequel from the first part, here at least the eyes do not tire, and if the plot is not interesting, and your beloved girl dragged you to viewing, you can relax and die, looking at the spectacular smooth shooting, professional camera work and excellent production.
In addition to technical innovations, the action finally appears here in the second part. Scarce scraps of battles, the bulk of which is somewhere off-screen, because the R rating goes beyond the production vision of this profitable project. And when tired of the panoramas and virtuosity of the plan, the eyes try to cling to at least something from the content, then all the most interesting things do not fall into the frame: severed heads, broken necks, dismemberment of tourists, attacks of wolves, and much more, which would bring its own flavor to the film and return to the vampire story a sense of good horror. Unfortunately, this film about vampires is almost impossible to call a horror film, and it is completely devoid of expressiveness. Two hours of boring dialogue about love, betrayal, friendship and the like, written by a dreamy schoolgirl, as if instead of a movie about vampires, we are given a children's fairy tale. And when in real life there is a copious mat and breaking faces into blood, in the film they say something beautiful, in the manner of “thank you for keeping it while I was away”, and any fight is stopped by monotonizing the female pen, dispelling everything into nonsense by a long-made choice.
The effects are still incomprehensible, ugly murky haze around jumping vampires, werewolves, although made with the help of graphics, look like fur dolls, a complete lack of nested soul, effort and sensuality. And in such a romantic film, such coldness is simply unacceptable, and amid all the beautiful conversations, the action scenes cannot boast of the proper level of expression.
And even gothic and pathos served by Valturi, rather resemble not a beautiful “Interview with a Vampire”, but the continuation of the little-known “Subspecies”, in the spirit of the 4 and 5 parts of the franchise. Vampire images are so glossy that a seemingly spectacular face on the screen is forgotten, as soon as the camera changes its angle. The monotonous presentation of the main acting game only aggravates yawning and resentment over the wrongly long timekeeping, and the smooth action does not look like a holistic story, never hinting at any culmination or development, smoothly and lyrically trampling on the place of a useless love triangle.
How much longer to watch the recurring film adaptation of the song “Do You Love Me?” Aha!', you will be prompted by fans of the book franchise, but for now you can only notice that the second part has come out much better than the first. The talented directorial approach is visible, and the action is diluted with some active manifestation, and three minutes of luxurious Dakota Fanning are clearly worth waiting for the final.
The third, and all subsequent parts of the glamorous opera, I will personally wait only because of the participation in the project of one of the most beloved actresses (Fanning), and it is interesting to have further progress, because Twilight-3: Dawn will be staged by another director, David Slade, and knowing its glamorous-sterile “Lollipop” and thrash-blooded “30 days of night” you can expect from the triquel very different. Well, “New Moon” is simply obliged to shoot at the box office, fully cover and satisfy its target audience, cause fans huge delights, squeals and tears of joy, and of course cut down a large cashier.
I don't think there will be an estimate. For Fanning's sake, I'll take any movie. In any case, there is just a divine 3 minutes!
