If you've read the books, there's no spoiler here.... Before entering the theater, I definitely paused at the table selling Team Edward and Team Jacob T-shirts. It caused a moment of self-reflection: Which team AM I? Team Edward or Team Jacob? The cold vampiric Edward Cullen or the warm werewolf Jacob? Which group of teen girls would I "Woo hoo!" with when my leading man came on screen? It's the question that engages the female audience … more

Let’s get one thing out the way; I am not this film’s target audience and I am not at all familiar with Stephanie Meyer’s books. So why the heck would I even bother to see the sequel to “Twilight” when I didn’t like it at all? Well, my friend @Sean_Rhodes had created a list of “Twilight” promotional products that were quite frankly a little freaky and I do work with someone who is a closet fan, so I said why the heck not? “The Twilight … more

Twihards went out in full force and filled midnight screenings all over Manhattan. The same time late year I attended the midnight screening of Twilight on 34th st, but choose to catch the second installment at a theater in queens, and the thing I noticed is that those who attended the screening all seemed to be much older then the fans that attended the first film. Was it the area? Is it just the the fans have grown up that much in the past year? Or is the Twilight series beginning to become so … more

I was so disgusted with the first Twilight movie that i didn't even want to go see this one. But after much prompting from my friends i went to see it and was surprisingly....not disappointed. The plot followed the book so well it was painfully obvious that it was a different director, one who clued in to the fact that Twilight fans don't want to pay $10 to see their favorite books mangled and massacred accross the screen. To say that the acting greatly improved would be an … more

While New Moon personally isn't the best of the Twilight series of the books, its now turned out to be the better of the films that have come out thus far. New Moon's new film direction makes it very understandable why Catherine Hardwicke got kicked out of the directors chair for the sequel. New director Chris Weitz, who was responsible for directing The Golden Compass, gave New Moon a more serious feel while attempting to take as much cheese out of the film as possible. While … more

When it comes to the Twilight Saga, there's no denying the unusual popularity (no matter how strange it may be). I read all four books and while I'm not big fan of Twilight, I actually will admit that when it came to New Moon, I rather liked that story. Probably because Edward was hardly in it, but also because it's the only story which introduces us to Jacob. The only reason I like Jacob? He's the only character Meyer ever created that seemed to have actual dimension. … more

WOW...That is the word that everyone should be saying to this movie. What this movie brings is something that no one expects. In the first we find out about Edward and his family are Vampires, but now in New Moon we have Jacob and his family transform into wolves that is just something you dont expect when watching Twilight. When You first watch a vampire movie or show you first think its going to be gory...But these showed a whole different side to the vampire story. Meaning … more

I spent much of my review for "Twilight" pointing out how the story was a Mormon abstinence parable masked as a teen vampire romance. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is essentially the same thing, but this time around, I was more bothered by its unbearable pacing, its emotionless performances, and its confusing subplots, none of which will make much sense unless you're intimately familiar with both the first film and all of Stephenie Meyer's books. Already then, a sizeable audience has been alienated, … more

Team Jacob, Team Edward? I must say I'm in neutral territory on this one. After seeing Twilight and then attempting to read the book I'm giving all that I've absorbed a thumb's up for storytelling and creativity, and a thumb's down for over-the-top drama. However, even though I will not join either team Edward or Jacob at this point in time, the story lines of nebulous good vs. evil, love vs. obsession and immortality are fascinating. … more

For lovers of THE TWILIGHT SERIES the second installment NEW MOON should satisfy. It apparently follows the Stephenie Meyer novel fairly well and certainly has more to look at than the first installment. For lovers of teeny bopper films, vampire and werewolf legends, and sappy highsschool romance this installment will provide many pleasures. For the rest of us it is passable entertainment. Chris Weitz succeeds in making the impossible story lines move seamlessly, and while … more

It's a little absurd and over the top. And it also tries a little too hard... especially when you consider that none of the actors do at all. The movie begs to be taken seriously but it's just impossible to do so because so much of it is executed so poorly.

After watching this movie, I now understand why teenage girls and young women have made the Twilight books and now the movies so successful. The overall story arc is essentially about a girl caught in the dilemma of choosing between a polished, cultured, well-traveled aristocrat (the vampire Edward Cullen) and a muscular, blue-collar, emotional best friend (the werewolf Jacob). These two males represent dream guys for many women; and having to choose between them is probably the dream of many a … more

A terribly melodramatic and shallow film with few redeeming qualities, ridiculous CGI effects, and painfully egocentric and whiny characters. Meyer and her fans needs to grow up.

Faithful adaptation of the tepid romance novel with some Gothic elements from Stephanie Meyer. Sad.
