The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Fantastic!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is the second part of the Twilight movies and tells how Bella increasingly suffers from Edwards attempt to hold her distant while building a closer connection to Jacob. The story culminates in Edward attempting to kill himself and a trial before the first of vampires.In many ways, this is just a regular Hollywood movie. To a certain extent I even like how the idea of vampires and werewolves is transferred to a more modern surrounding. Unfortunately, the film is drowned in a bulldozer-load of kitsch that sometimes threatens to turn the scenes into something funny because you can't take them serious anymore. Nonetheless there is a coherent plot that is interesting enough to carry the movie until the end. I'm not so hooked that i have a feeling of immediately watching the third part but I think that a lot of reviews here are written more in a sense of simply hating than as a serious critique.All in all you should only watch this if you can cope with a very teen-aged ideal of love and romance. What you get is not a highlight but it is a solid film and there are worse.

All these people giving the film 1 or 2 stars should be ignored (and sent to bed without any supper) as it's quite obviously not anywhere near that bad a film. I enjoyed the first film much more than I expected to possibly because of the stupidly low rating and I enjoyed this one almost as much. The dialogue that everyone says is cheesy is no more cheesy than most of the films in this genre. The performances were all fine believe me I've seen some truly bad films with terrible acting and dialogue and this is a masterpiece compared to them. I'm starting to really mistrust the ratings as I'm just a likely to enjoy a film rated really low as not enjoy one that's rated high.

New Moon is the first film that shows us the Werewolves which they are cgi many people brag about how they look at least they look like werewolves and not like some skinny dog from Harry Potter anyways the 2nd film in the series is more Drama than the previous one i think Stewart did a pretty good job in this one as for Pattinson he was good the scene when he stars sparkling is the most hated scene for many but think for a second if the dude died from the 1st film or from this one it wouldn't make any sense at all. Anyways Twilight Saga: New Moon is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be and for sure it has some entertaining moments.

I seriously didn't think that it couldn't get any worse. I should never assume what I think would happen.The characters are still flat and dull. Watching these 'actors' perform these horrible roles makes watching paint dry look amazing. No one gets enough screen time to develop their characters. Which doesn't help this movie. The romance is even worse in this movie. Bella and Edward have no time together building their relationship since all they say to each other is 'i love you' or 'turn me into a vampire'. Bella and Jacob have little bit of chemistry but no enough to start a relationship and plus she doesn't date him but Edward. The love triangle is hardly mentioned and is only shown till the last five minutes of this movie which is what all this fuss has been about. The story is boring, period. All Bella does is mope for most of the movie how Edward isn't with her or trying to figure out what's happening to Jacob. Because of the pacing it's dragged out long. Nothing exciting happens until the third act at break neck speed (just like the last movie). Plus I had tons of questions to ask. How does Alice powers work? Why couldn't she see earlier that Bella would become a vampire so we wouldn't have a pointless action scene? Why do the guys fall for Bella? There's no appeal into her. She has about as much personality as a dead tree stump. They never explain why they love each other.I know some people say 'Well in the book...' I don't need a book. I shouldn't have to USE a book.I don't need a book on my lap when the movie can't give me the information I need. Harry Potter didn't need me to ask questions because I knew about it. I didn't start reading the books till the second movie and I was caught up with movies enough so that I didn't need questions.Sorry Twilight fans but this is just terrible.
