There are a lot of reasons why Team Jacob should celebrate in the sequel of the Twilight saga, New Moon. For one, the story almost revolved around the friendship and one-sided love affair of Bella and Jacob. The glorious half nakedness of Jacob with his six packs and ripping muscles has a lot of exposure too. And the performance of Lutner as Jacob was decent, at the very least. Who needs Edward when Jacob’s commanding presence, his steaming on-screen chemistry with Bella and his good acting chops filled the silver screen?
It was Jacob’s time to shine, and he lived all the hyped. But it seems that Bella still needs the part three of the movie, Eclipse, to prove that she can really act well. She was abandoned in the forest by her true love but there was no pain and betrayal emanating from her. Months had passed and Edward did not come back, but there was no anger, longing and hopelessness that the audience felt from her. Most of the time her eyes were blank, her face was expressionless, numb of any emotion.
Perhaps Bella can learn a thing or two from Jane. Even though her airtime was just limited, she nailed her role as Volturi’s princess of torture. She is definitely a scene-stealer and a delight to watch. In just her steeled red eyes and calculated movements, it was already obvious how evil, powerful and dangerous she is. Count me in as a member of Team Jane.
