I may not be the only Twilight fan, who has fallen in love with Edward Cullen, to admit New Moon was possibly my least favorite book because of the lack of Edward. It was because of this I was very slightly weary of New Moon the movie. It could have so easily been badly portrayed because of the lack of Edward, but my concern was entirely unnecessary.

New Moon has been fantastically portrayed. I don't think it could have been better made; I have literally found no faults with it what so ever. Chris Weitz (director of New Moon) has done an incredible job. The visual effects were simply gorgeous. The werewolves were everything I imagined. And every scene I read in the book that I was hoping to have been put in the movie were there, portrayed to perfection.

It was truly incredible to see New Moon come life, living up to the book's standards, which is rare as often books are better than the films. A phenomenal portrayal from start to finish.

The cast were stunning, as always; Kristen Stewart (Bella) especially. She expressed Bella's pining incredibly convincingly. Taylor Lautner (Jacob) was fantastic too, as he portrayed a similar (in my opinion) angst that Edward felt as he revealed who he was to Bella. Robert Pattinson (Edward) made a flawless portrayal of Edward Cullen. Billy Burke (Charlie) also made several very charming scenes come to life, and a scene with Bella and Carlisle (Peter Facinelli) was one of my favorites.

I am going as far as to say I prefer New Moon to Twilight now!

The room in the cinema produced an audible gasp the moment Jacob appeared! There's lots of laughs in there too; I was nearly in tears at one moment (with laughter, but also with sadness - tissues are a necessary companion if you go and see New Moon!)

The score was sweeter than the score in Twilight; it reminded me a lot of the Harry Potter score. I think it worked very well, however. The songs from the New Moon soundtrack were placed at the exact perfect moments in the film. I would suggest having a good listen to the soundtrack before you see the film.

The cinema was hyped at the end! That's all I'm going to say to avoid spoilers!

All in all, New Moon is the best film I've seen in a long while. It is undoubtedly worth watching, especially if you're a fan of action, romance or vampires. You wouldn't really have had to see Twilight to see New Moon, but it would help!
