Critic Reviews

  • Laremy Legel, Film.com

    So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.

  • Sara Vilkomerson, New York Observer

    I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.

  • Louisa Thomas, Newsweek

    If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.

  • Christopher Orr, New Republic

    A landmark cinematic event in 280 words, or one for every $500,000 of weekend box office.

  • A.O. Scott, At the Movies

    It has an amazing kind of emotional integrity and intensity.

    This second instalment is a pretty terrible sequel, and does not live up to it's predecessor in any way whatsoever. The cinematography is still just as impressive, getting in quite a few intriguing shot positions, but that does not save this hopeless mess at all. It has many… More

    Sequel to Twilight is one of the worst films that I have seen. I grew up watching vampire films, and I could believe the crap I was seeing on-screen. This film along with the first and the rest of the series makes a mockery of the once phenomenal vampire genre. New Moon has everything… More
