November 21, 2009"You're my only reason to stay... alive. If that's what I am."
When Edward leaves Bella, her hole world is turned upside down. With Bella's heart broken, she turns to Jacob (Jake) her best friend to fill the void that was left by Edward. As Bella spends more time with Jak...( read more) -
November 20, 2009Ambitiously titled sequel to Twilight (it's a saga now?) follows the continuing adventures of Bella and Edward, with a third key character, Jacob, thrown in for good measure. Stale soap opera plot is just like every love triangle story you've ever seen. I kept thinking I was watc...( read more)

November 19, 2009I watched New Moon yesterday and overall I think it's pretty good. Some people are saying there wasn't enough action in it.. well people did you read the book? There wasn't much action in that either.
The movie followed the book fairly well I thought. In fact overall, I was pret...( read more) -

November 21, 2009New Moon improves on a few things, but then falls short.The same cast returns with a few new faces. I have to say the acting in this movie was fucking terrible. The pace of the film is slow. It just doesn't go anywhere.
With all of the shit this movie brought to the table, it d...( read more) -
November 21, 2009Much better than Twilight! I think they did very well at not changing the story too much. Loved Dakota Fanning in this - she is such a great actess! Loved their eye contacts as well.

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

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

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

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kristen Stewart brings such raw vulnerability to the screen that she makes moping attractive. full review

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

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

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

November 20, 2009This movie is reallly really good. I saw it at midnight and I would totally see it again. The acting is much better, It draws you in more and theres more action. Taylor Lautner really makes the movie though. I'm pretty impressed and encourage everyone to see it, even people who weren't impressed with Twilight. Oh and the ending is really great as well :)

"twighlight saga new moon is the best movie ever it took my heart i felt i was apart of the movie so all you anti-twilight i have only one thing to say; please dont be jelous of the actors they are cool all right not like the zac efron that treats his fans like shit"
p.s robert pattinson i think i am in love with you, and taylor launter you are dreamy but robert is so mysterous and he is a vampire and can change people to vampires but you might get angry and kill the as and you cant make as into warewolves.
Go Twilight and we love you Stephenie Meyer." -

November 19, 2009I really did not like it. The only good parts were scenes with Dakota Fanning, Michael Sheen and Jamie Campbell Bower. =] Waaay better actors than Robert, Kristen and Taylor put together.
TEAM ROSALIE + VOLTURI!! -

November 18, 2009I can't wait to see this movie! And I definitely agree, everyone needs to leave Kristen alone! She's done a great job so far, and so have Robert and Taylor! I'm so glad they kept him as Jacob! Nobody could have played him better!
