All Around Me

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2014)

As this movie began, I had my doubts if it would ever become any interesting. The first half hour of the film is very slow paced, with few moments that deserve spectator's attention. However, after some while, we're given what we want: a fantasy romance. In "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", we don't have a remarkable plot, a well written story or a professional main actor. However, we do have one thing that makes up for that: we have a GREAT directing! Chris Weitz is able to create intense scenes between the characters, even thought there isn't anything special in what they're doing; it's just the way director makes it look-- along with a sensible soundtrack. I know it may feel a little corny the way the camera goes round and round, but it simply WORKS in this occasion. Also, the photography directing is very well done, delivering magnificent scenes-- especially those made in the woods. Anyways, I know it wasn't meant to be very intelligent or anything; Twilight franchise was made to teenagers who usually enjoy creative romances and its aspects, and for this matter, the franchise is, at least until this installment, efficient. Congratulations for the team!
