New, Fresh, Awesome.

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2014)

First of all, IGNORE bad reviews that even mention the word 'Twilight'. This film stands completely on its own and I can't wait for the sequels because audiences have got the biggest surprises in store for them if the the filmmakers stay true to the books, which considering how great and true the first film was, they will. I had such low expectations for this film after the flops we have had in YA (minus THG) recently and I think that is why I was so blown away with this. It's exiting, enticing and executed so well. The acting is top notch and they drive the narrative, creating such depth to them and bringing them alive from the books. Ignore everything you thought about YA and go into this film with an open mind and I promise you will at least like it a bit to see the next sequel that has already got the green light.
