This doesn’t compare to other music films like Crazy Heart or Ray, but if you think of it as the music equivalent of what Whip It was to sports films then you will have a good time. Dakota and Kristen are almost flawless although twilight fans will be shocked to see them making out – with each other. Kudos for Joan Jett and her role as executive producer.

But while I left the cinema feeling as though I deserved a t-shirt that reads ‘I survived the Eclipse’, Twilight devotes were beaming from ear to ear as though they’ve just spent the last 130 minutes riding a Unicorn across a rainbow made of pure, unadulterated happiness. It’s “the best yet!” apparently. Perhaps it is. But that’s like saying ‘A’ is the best form of hepatitis.

Film critics are conceited by definition, but we’re not smug enough to think that the legions of Twilight fans could give two hoots about what we have to say about their beloved franchise. That much was clear when last year’s Twilight managed to pull an impressive $380 million at the global box office, despite the fact that a majority of critics (i.e. myself) considered it a droning, ineptly crafted teen-romance. It has therefore been in the best interest of this year’s sequel, New Moon, to change absolutely nothing. Once again, critics will mercilessly steak the film to death, but it will do little to stop box office records from crumbling.
