Amazing Production of an Amazing Story

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2009)

Firstly I would like to say that if you honestly believe vampires must have to burst into flames and turn into bats then you shouldn't watch a film which requires more emotional imagination than a five year old...
The film is part of a saga, it is therefore pointless to watch without having watched the first to have got in touch with the relationships at play. The film followed the book as well as any twilight fan could have asked, staying true to the story which is the whole reason the film is in such high demand anyway. Twilight fans will be amazed at how well Chris Weitz and the actors manage to capture the emotional, physical and supernatural aspects of the film and tie it altogether to be a perfectly rounded portrayal of Stephanie Meyers story.
To say a film is rubbish without considering how difficult it is to capture such vivid emotion that is supposed to be so consuming none of us can imagine the feeling, is ridiculous! There are more to movies than the special effects. The film was based upon a love story, remember? The acting was miles better than the first film, the chemistry was realistic, so much so that the heartache felt personal, the action was thrilling with pumped up fight scenes and the end was a perfect lead into the next film.
All in all, if you like the books then you will love the film, it is a perfect vision of what new moon is trying to create. If however, you like blood, guts and gore and are oblivious enough to think this is that type of vampire film it will definitely not be one of your favourites.
Brilliant.
