    I was not a fan of the first Twilight film, and I never read the books, so my opinion may be a little biased here. But I do think these movies are overrated. That being said, I thought New Moon was better than it's original. The graphics are amped up, the kids lo...( read more)ok better, and it's obvious more money was invested in this one.

    There's a lot not to like here, including the cheesy plot. It's clearly a teen romance flick that doesn't appeal to the older generations. I really liked Jacob's character, but his beefed up body and the disappearance of his shirt for the entire movie was awful film making! It was so clear that the director's intentions were just to say "here, screw the plot, look at this awesome body!" It was a blatant attempt to google it's young female audience... and in that sense, it was successful.

    I was a little disappointed in the lack of action, and there is no main antagonist in this film which made it kind of boring. New Moon's only purpose seems to be to set the stage for a climatic 3rd film that should prove to have some serious action it. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.

    Well this was 10x better than Twilight. I think i enjoyed the movie more than the book...the book kinda depressed me...movie was good...Robert's acting was completely terrible and i think Kristen stepped it up in this one. Taylor definitely stole the screen though as expected. Ca...( read more)n't wait for Eclipse.

    Taylor Lautner's abs are truly the most superhuman aspect of this film.

    Warning - spoilers! The sequel to 'Twilight' continues the doomed relationship between Bella (human) and Edward (vampire). The opening is very slow and depressing as Edward leaves Bella in order to protect her. She's very fickle and quickly falls into the arms of Jake (who happen...( read more)s to be a werewolf - how unlucky in love and tragic?). Like a modern day Romeo and Juliet, who knows how it will all end. Jake (Taylor) is very buff and much nicer than Edward (Robert).

    Do you have to watch the first film to enjoy the second part? I would have thought so because there are storyline info that threads into this film, but you can enjoy it none the less. I think this will become succesful again when it is released on Blu Ray and DVD. More vampire fi...( read more)lms! Its a good second part. Waiting for the next sequal.

Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

New Moon offers few of the juicy, go-for-broke romantic pleasures of its predecessor, and the movie is so badly shaped that it's hard not to blame Weitz as a director. full review

November 19, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

I can't comment on the acting because I didn't catch Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner doing any. They basically primp and pose through the same humdrum motions they did before. full review

November 19, 2009
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The movie gives the 'Twilight' fans exactly what they want but doesn't offer too much for the rest of us. full review

November 19, 2009
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Weitz is more awkward than Hardwicke with the casual teenaged interactions. Melissa Rosenberg's dialogue hasn't improved, though she gets a boost by using quotes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. full review

November 19, 2009
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Kristen Stewart brings such raw vulnerability to the screen that she makes moping attractive. full review

November 19, 2009
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Alexandre Desplat's overwrought musical score will appeal to viewers who already agree that Bella and Edward's love is glorious. Others won't be persuaded, no matter how much he insists. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Though an improvement over the first Twilight film, this sequel (both based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling books) drags and sputters, even in scenes meant to be infused with passion. full review

November 19, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead. full review
