January 10, 2010It's definitely better than the original film. It's smart, funny, thrilling and action-packed. The film takes the epic romance to new heights in the supernatural genre and delivers true movie exhilaration. A dazzling, heart-wrenching, riveting and tremendously entertaining film. ...( read more)

December 19, 2009I 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)

December 15, 2009Well 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)

December 13, 2009Taylor Lautner's abs are truly the most superhuman aspect of this film.

December 10, 2009Warning - 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)

February 9, 2010I have to say that, being familiar with the Twilight series, this is about what I expected.
Since there isn't actually an antagonist, the entire plot revolves around Bella dropping into a black and white world after her sparkly boytoy ditches her. Presumably because Pattinson ca...( read more) -

February 8, 2010As movies go, I appreciated "New Moon" better than the first movie "Twilight" . But since i've already read the four books or should i say 4 1/2 (including the unfinished "Midnight Sun"), i think the Twilight Series will be one of my favorites series to date ;)

Armond White, The New York Press
Bella's confusion about the mystery of boys, adrenaline and testosterone matches her confusion about her soul. For Weitz, it's all just F/X. full review

A.O. Scott, At the Movies
It has an amazing kind of emotional integrity and intensity. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, "Hurry it up!" full review

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

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

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
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
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

January 27, 2010I've seen this movie in theaters and I got to say it really is good. I laughed at some parts and it kept me interested. I am on Jacobs team but one thing they got wrong is they're not werewolves, they're shape shifters and yes there is a difference. Even though werewolves, shape shifters and lycans are based on the concept of a wolf form they all have different meanings. Shape shifters can change to their animal at will, werewolves change only during a full moon. Look up these terms if you wish to know a better explanation.

The directing was terrible but you can't blame the actors because they did they're job flawlessly but the directing it was just terrible. Chris Weitz should not come back to do Breaking Dawn and saying that it was the first film he directed is no excuse.

January 3, 2010I loved the book series...loved Twilight and absolutely loved New Moon. The music is beautiful in both movies. In New Moon, I especially liked Possibility by Lykke Li and Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke. There is action, neat effects, passion and drama and comedy. You don't have to read the books to get it, but it does help.

December 28, 2009I seen this movie New Moon. I really enjoyed watching it. It was so awesome that i loved it. Good movie!!! I would not mind watching it again.

December 25, 2009It was good, but not that good as part 1.. I wanted to see more Edward, cause he's so important in the story (and he's way cuter than Taylor Lautner :) hihi).
The special effects were great, it was a really interesting movie, again.
The acting was super! Kristen Stewart did great!
But.. as I said, I want to see more of the Cullens, not only Edward, but his family as well.
And Victoria? Such an important character, and such a small part in New Moon? Hello! That is not right!
Nice to see Dakota Fanning as well :) She grew up! -
