My review without spoilers

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2009)

I just think people need to go in with real expectations, this is not an Oscar worthy movie but it is entertaining none the less. is not like New Moon is the best movie ever made but as i said in my FIRST review it has improved in a big way when you compare it to Twilight. The acting really has improved A LOT especially with Kristen when you compare Twilight's Bella with New Moon Bella, is like she is reflecting in her portrayal how she has grown is like what we've seen lately in interviews a more self assured girl but still very nervous and shy and in her acting is the same, this time she does a better job at portraying the emotions especially the heartbreak this character is going through. Taylor really does a good job playing his character he really gets Jacob but as it also happens with Kristen there are scenes where he just doesn't quite achieve to capture the emotion of the situation and comes off stiff. Rob as i said he's not in the movie enough to make an informed decision as to whether or not he has really improved in his performance, but from the times you get to see him on screen there is improvement in his personification of Edward. The supporting cast does a great job i think but they are what they are, which is basically filler characters in the story. However it really shows in the new actors and in the supporting cast which of them are great actors on their own because even if they only show up for a couple of minutes in the film they steal the show. the perfect example for this is bot Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning who both played the character of Aro and Jane down to the T and do an incredible job in bringing to life this characters. and Anna Kendrick who in just seconds of being in screen steals the scene. Now visually this film is 100% better than Twilight, the photography was incredible which with me being a photography student is one of the biggest things that attract me to movies, Chris Weitz did a great job, the contrast,lighting and color palette and the sharpness of the images was done really well this looks and feels more like a high budget film. Some of the special effects could still be improved but overall they are really good. and in terms of the music i love the soundtrack of this movie. In general is a very entertaining movie and a perfect 2nd installment to this saga,but don't go into it thinking you're going to see the latest masterpiece in modern cinema cause you are not.
