The Movie is Better than the Book #1

While it seems that the books are always better than the movies, in some cases the situation is inverse. That is definitely the case of New Moon, the second book of the Twilight Saga.

The author, Stephenie Meyer, surely has no notable quality in her writing, but she knows how to keep the reader focused throughout key parts of the books. The thing is that not always she succeeds and this is the reason why New Moon is full of boring moments. 


In the other hand, those moments turned out to be incredibly beautiful and intense in the movie, which captured the tone of the book perfectly. Besides being a HUGE improvement since the crap that Twilight was, here we have decent special effects, better actings and an infinitely greater work with the camera angles - no disturbing shaking that makes us feel like we're watching The Blair Witch Project.

One of the only good things from the predecessor production continues marvelous here: the soundtrack. They chose depressive rock songs that also fit the vibe of the story. 


The photography contrasting to the dilemmas the characters face are so much interesting to be watched than visualized by reading. To add one more thing, I couldn't remember of any awesome part in the book that wasn't transcripted to the screen. They really did their best.

Watching the movie has always been an incomplete experience compared to reading the book, but in this case I'd easily suggest to just watch the movie.
