In the second chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling Twilight series, the romance between mortal Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) grows more intense as ancient secrets threaten to destroy them. When Edward leaves in an effort to keep Bella safe, she tests fate in increasingly reckless ways in order to glimpse her love once more. But when she’s saved from the brink by her friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Bella will uncover mysteries of the supernatural world that will put her in more peril than ever before. |

New Moon, the second in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster teen-fiction saga adapted for film, is stronger than its predecessor, Twilight. Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), taking the helm from Catherine Hardwicke, brings a lighter, more assured touch to the sequel, which continues the star-crossed love story of mortal Bella (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson). Incidentally, Edward is absent for most of the film; after an accident on Bella's birthday reminds Edward that her life is always at risk when he's around, he chooses to abandon her, sending her into a deep depression. The only person who helps her heal her broken heart is her friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a member of the Quileute tribe who, as he grows taller, beefier, and more aggressive (with less clothing), comes to realize he's not entirely human either. But even his love for Bella doesn't prevent her from throwing herself in the path of danger, because that's the only time she can see visions of Edward. One such fateful misunderstanding sends Edward into the coven of the Volturi (a sort of vampire Mafia, if you will), where the most dangerous vampires hold both Edward and Bella's fate in their cold, dark hands. Much of New Moon rests on the shoulders of Lautner, so scrawny in Twilight, who famously packed on the muscle to avoid getting recast. He's very nearly successful in carrying the load, but the cheese-tastic beefcake scenes disservice him, and Jacob and Bella's complicated friendship stumbles on its way to any kind of love triangle. Some of that blame lies with Stewart, who understandably holds her emotions close to her chest but reveals much too little (c'mon, even an angsty girl has to be a little joyful in the arms of two different hunks). As is with the book, the film is just a bridge between sagas, so the plot drags and not a lot happens. Fortunately, while Twilight was trapped in its own self-consciousness, the wobbly-legged cast seems to have found stronger footing in New Moon; the jokes come faster, the writing (by Melissa Rosenberg, who also scribed Twilight) is a hair wittier. (Even Pattinson seems more comfortable in Edward's skin.) The Volturi, highlighted by Michael Sheen's Aro and Dakota Fanning's Jane, also make an all-too-brief impression, but at least there's more to look forward to when Eclipse, the third installment, is released. --Ellen A.

Really? |
|
This was not a good film. Some of the scenes were hilarious in how cheesy they were. "Oh you have a tiny scratch, well I should take off my shirt then...for the scratch." It was also really boring. The only reason it doesn't get one star is because the WOLVES ARE AWESOME! But aside from that its really not worth seeing let alone buying. |

great Movie but this version GIVE IT A MISS |
THIS MOVIE IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL TWILIGHT FANS HOWEVER I JUST RECEIVED MY COPY AND I HAVE WATCHED IT THROUGH.
IF YOU ARE INTO THE BONUS FEATURES THIS VERSION IS ONE TO CONSIDER NOT BUYING
THWE FEATURES ARE VERY LIMITED INDEED IT HAS A 65 MINUTE FEATURETTE AND MUSIC VIDEOS BUT UNLIKE THE ENGLISH RELEASE WHICH HAS OVER 3 HOURS OF BONUS CONTENT I WOULD RECONSIDER.
THERE ARE NO DELETED SCENES, BECOMING JACOB, MEET THE WOLFPACK JUST TO NAME A FEW...
I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY PURCHASE AND I WOULD RECCOMEND A DIFFERENT VERSION THEN THE DVD 2 DISK SET.
I GIVE THIS 3 STARS BECAUSE I LOVE THE MOVIE ITS 5 STARS BUT BECAUSE OF THE CONTENT I CAN ONLY GIVE IT 3.

I really love the books! But i wish they would have made the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th book in to two movies each. The second movie was awsome but they left a lot of stuff out. |

New Moon sucks |
|
This has got to be the most boring movie ever. I sat there and watched it all the way. I had to go out a couple of times to walk around and go bathroom and when I came back the scene is still the same. First of all, out of all the Twilight books, this one was the worst. The you make a long movie out of it, just did not make sense. Anyway, unless you are a die hard fan of this series, I recommend not getting it. I won't even recommend renting it. Don't waste your time. |
