Fantastic sequel to twilight

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2009)

New Moon is a much darker sequel to twilight and although some of the content of the film may be lost on those who have not (but really should!) read the book I believe it is a truly captivating story and brilliant film adaption .
Bella's torment and depression are captured in an excellent style and some of the shots and sequences really convey the deep feelings she is going through. Some may say the film drags a little, but these slower sections are intricate to the the plot and development of the story, which will become much, much more complex especially in the next two films.
Although there are a couple of surprise additions to the original story the film basically keeps to the same story with lines taken right out of the book and spoken perfectly. The chemistry between all the actors is clear and really drags you deeper into the story.
All in all the film is a must see especially for any vampire or twilight fans, but I'm sure it's not them that need convincing to go see the film. Give it a chance and seriously read the books. Although this is an amazing film nothing can compare to Stephanie Meyers enchanting novels.
