A complete and promising movie unlike the first movie of the saga

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2009)

I have to say, I was pretty skeptic about the movie before going in; being a guy (not into all the lovey-dovey stuff) and having been disappointed with pretty much every other movie-book adaptation out there, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The movie has a complete feel to it and it's not trying hard to put all the important details in the book into the movie. It doesn't feel rushed like the first movie of the saga; it's dynamic and yet, it accomplishes more than the prequel.
I loved shooting sites. The cinematography and the accompanying vivid ambiance, combined with the absolutely brilliant soundtrack choice made it really worth my while to see the movie. I recommend it :)
