In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful Twilight series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before. (Summit Entertainment)
It was perfectly fine. I would say it was less atmospheric than the first one which possibly was the change of director. In my review for that I didn't see where the story had to go and it really didn't go anywhere much, they broke up and then got back together for no other reason than they needed some kind of plot. It was well done but there wasn't much substance to it. A couple scenes struck me as odd there a circling shot of Bella where you can you see out the window and the camera goes round her three times and each time the scene outside changes season, OK fine very artistic but it's undercut by having on screen graphics telling us the months. In the second she and a human friend leave the cinema after seeing a zombie movie and the friend complains in detail about the need for so many of those movies which seemed straight out of Scream and didn't fit the tone of everything else.
