New Moon better than the book (fortunately)

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2009)

To be honest I read the book about 3 months ago and was a little disappointed as I got bored. I found the book very easy reading but sort of lacking the body of the first. Well I wasn't too sure what to expect as twilight is pretty much word for word movie to book exactly the same. Fortunately and I'm sure the Edward Cullen fan club will disagree with me, the important stuff is in the film. To be honest Bella's friends are wasted and didn't even need to be in the movie, also the werewolf bit is confusing as they would actually be spirit walkers as opposed to werewolves, different process similar result. The film does feel a little long and also it ends rather abruptly but there you go. The scenes in Italy are beautifully shot but again something feels missing. The soundtrack is good (I actually bought it before I saw the movie) and despite the critics that I have read, I like it. So please go and enjoy but don't expect twilight.
