Thanks to A. Luper and newmoonmovie.org, we have this cool new comparison of the Twilight vs New Moon visuals. (You MUST click the link to see it larger. You'll thank me in the morning.) The photos on the left are from Twilight and the photos on the right are from New Moon. What do you think? Who got it right? Not "Which photo looks better?" but "Who got it RIGHT?" Here's what I think:
Victoria: Twilight - she looks too 5th Ave in the New Moon shot.
Esme: New Moon - she looks too Gidget in the Twilight shot.
Laurent: New Moon - he doesn't look sinister enough in Twilight - just, aggro. And his coloring is way better in the New Moon shot.
Bella: Twilight - she looks too Kristen Stewart in the New Moon shot.
Edward: NEW MOON!! Clap hands! Squeee! Luvs it luvs it luvs it!! He looks very high brow like Edward Cullen SHOULD look. We all know how I feel about his ridiculous "scary" look in Twilight. As if a Volvo and two medical degrees could be scary. Snicker.
Jacob: New Moon. Two different looks for two different faces of his character, so it was close.
Alice: I like each for each. She looks a little wifty for her intro of "was in a psyche ward" in Twilight.... and she looks perfect for her "lover of all things Prada" persona in New Moon.
Rosalie: Neither. First - Nikki Reed is gorgeous as a brunette in "real life". I've always maintained I like her moxie - and her portrayal of Rosalie. But she's not blonde and she's wigrific in New Moon. I've just never been able to embrace her as the character no matter how hard they try to make her look the part. I agree whole-heartedly with whomever said she would have made a great Victoria.
Jasper: Yikes. The photos are both bad. Jackson Rathbone has a truly beautiful face (see that episode of Criminal Minds for confirmation). Neither photo does him justice.
Emmett: New Moon - he looks more menacing and vampirific. The Twilight shot looks like his yearbook football photo.
Carlisle: New Moon. HOT HOT HOT. Much less Ward Cleaver, which is what the Twilight shot looks like.
My thanks to M'GIRL Jenn M. for bringing this to my attention. This was one of the most fun blog posts I've ever worked on. :)
