Pleasant and Underrated Sequel

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2010)

Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is worried about aging and asks Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) to transform her in a vampire. On her eighteenth birthday, Alice (Ashley Greene) invites Bella to a birthday party at the Cullen's home. When Bella accidentally cuts her finger opening her gift, Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) attacks her and the Cullen family protects Bella. Edward decides to leave Forks with his family to not endanger Bella, and the girl recluses herself at home. However, she finds comfort spending her leisure time with her friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner). When he disappears from her life, Bella seeks him out at home and discovers a secret about his genetic heritage.
"New Moon" is a pleasant and underrated sequel of "Twilight". The character of the gorgeous and talented Kristen Stewart seems to have the gift of getting attracted by freak creatures. After the romance without chemistry with the weird Robert Pattinson, whose face is adequate for the role of a blood-sucker but never for a romantic pair with Kristen Stewart, she gets close to a strong werewolf. I like this franchise, but the producers could have chosen a better actor to perform the stud Edward Cullen. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Lua Nova" ("New Moon")
