There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The first Twilight was already a disaster, and i thought to myself , 'This one couldn't possibly be any worse'. Unfortunately this assumption was incorrect and thus we have an even inferior sequel to an already terrible original film. Like the first one, New Moon doesn't seem to understand anything about humans and human emotion, which isn't a surprise since i would have expected this after the first one. However, New Moon seemingly takes itself a lot more seriously than the first one because there are numerous melodramatic scenes with cringy dialogue, terrible acting and with some music added to it like this was something that was supposed to invoke emotions in the audience. The combination of writing and acting doesn't really get any worse than this, but atleast it still somehow works as an unintentional comedy of sorts, as i found myself laughing through a lot of parts of the film that weren't supposed to be funny ( Especially Bella's performance with Volturi ). Like the first Twilight, New Moon also keeps insulting the audience's intelligence with its dumb flashbacks right after something from the past has been said, like we needed to be told twice because otherwise we wouldn't understand.Kristen Stewart is once again terrible as Bella Swann, Robert Pattinson is also extremely unabsorbing as the completely uninteresting Edward & the addition of Taylor Lautner ( Jacob Black ) as a main character now has also not helped the movie to go forward. It really seems to me all of the actors in this franchise never even went to acting school, as all of them put emphasis on parts in sentences that i have never heard before and none of the actors seem to even understand what they are saying ( Especially Stewart, who is frequently seen shaking her head after a line or stating a long 'uhmmmm.....' before a line ). The narrative structure is even worse than the first, as simply for plot reasons and nothing else Edward leaves Bella so when the obvious later happens ( He returns, obviously ) it is supposed to invoke emotions in us as the audience, but this lazy writing really doesn't get through to the objective movie watcher. Bella's depression state is obviously not convincing at all due to Stewart's wooden, emotionless & unimmersive and non existent acting talents that the audience does not feel anything for her at all, since we are always reminded by her terrible performance that we are watching a movie instead of being absorbed into its world ( And a particularly bad movie aswell ). The CGI of the wolves is terrible, but the way they walk is even worse, as if it were straight out of a superhero kind of videogame. The remaining 'evil' vampires make a return for no apparant reason other than as the black guy whose name i forget states 'to kill Edward's mate as he killed Victoria's mate', yet we are supposed to believe these vampires are more than animalistic monsters ruled by instinct, yet the movie contradicts itself here once again, and all for the sake of there being some would-be tension. ( Tension, however, only works if you care about its characters, and quite frankly, you don't. ) In the end nothing at all is done with their storylines, and you keep wondering to yourself what the use of them was.It is, even more so than the first, a constant abundance of cringeworthy scenes followed up after one another because it takes itself even more seriously than the first because of its extremely melodramatic scenes which features actors who never even went to acting school and are only capable of literally reading cue cards. Oh, and yes, it is just as insulting to the audience as the first one was, if not more.

I've watched this about two times now, I think. And to be honest, I still don't know quite what to think. It improves upon Twilight in some areas, but then fails in others. Overall, though, I think it needs help, although it's not worthy of too much hate.The cinematography is bland. Despite some nice surrounding scenery, most of the angles are boring and dull and add nothing to what should be a haunted, Gothic atmosphere. Still, there are some nice shots of the gorgeous ocean and luxurious forest, and those are breaths of fresh air in a rainy, rather stilted town. Any sightings of the bright red-haired Victoria leaping from tree to tree are also very welcome; there's just something about red hair sweeping among green forest, I don't know.But the film drags a lot with poor and messy pacing, and while there is more action than Twilight, it's annoyingly short-lived. Also, the soundtrack is awful. Seriously, if they want pop songs they could at least choose good ones.Kristen Stewart CAN act; her recent films prove that. Yes, she relies too much on sighing and blinking to show emotion where she really could be crying or sobbing, and is frustratingly wooden when saying her lines...BUT… with the proper direction and perhaps more interest, concentration and involvement in her character (which even a better actress like Jennifer Lawrence could make something out of) she would be comfortably good. Having said that, Stewart fails to hold eye contact with her costars and keep up consistency. Apart from being too much of a damsel-in-distress, Bella isn't a boring or stupid character, and Stewart could've expanded on Bella's positive traits and given her more feeling and depth. She needed to feel her lines and feel her character; not to mention vary her facial expressions that otherwise never change.Robert Pattinson is good, but like Stewart he lacks the intensity and feeling when saying his lines. Far too often, his expressions are bland and cold, and there are moments when he certainly does not seem to love Bella and just can't wait to leave her. Not very convincing when they're supposed to be millions of girls' OTP……. or were, at least.Pattinson and Stewart have chemistry, I firmly believe – after all, they did win MTV's Best Kiss for four freakin' years in a row - but with poor directing and lack of involvement in their lines, even that suffers. And although I'm definitely Team Edward, I actually found myself relaxing and rather enjoying the scenes between Bella and Jacob -the other end of the triangle, btw - simply because they were more relaxed around each other and Jacob at least smiles (Oh well, maybe it's a wolf thing. Or as Bella would say "A Jacob thing").Oh, and Taylor Lautner as Jacob. Well to be honest, he's not as awful an actor as I expected. I'm not a fan of him and never will be, but I have to admit he doesn't act badly. Still, it is obvious he's been told to brood as hard as he possibly can, and with a huge female audience watching, is delighted to tear his shirt off at any possible opportunity. Which he does…... very often. Very often. He did workout especially for the role, and I guess the producers thought a body like that can't stay hidden. Or at least for the sake of the Saga's success.New Moon, despite it's big flaws, has highlights too. Bella's human friends, led brilliantly by Anna Kendrick, supply much needed comic relief, sarcasm, warmth, and smiles. Kendrick is perfect and enthusiastic in her role, and adds light-hearted, typical teenager- ness – for want of a better word - that I never thought I'd actually long for. A stark contrast to Bella, she is bright and lovable whenever she's on screen, and fits the character to a T.Thankfully, New Moon is also blessed with some brilliant performances from mature, experienced, solid actors and actresses. Billy Burke reprises his role as Bella's father and is just brilliant; with uncomfortable facial expressions that could only come from an inexperienced father with a teenage daughter, his presence is a relief. He's lovable, in a rugged way, and fits the character perfectly. Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning portray vampires, and with superior acting skills make the Cullens look bland, boring, and overrated. It is a great pity that Sheen and Fanning didn't get more screen time; both of them giving more feeling and character to their roles in about three minutes than Stewart, Lautner and Pattinson do in all of their scenes. Well, almost….. they are certainly better actors than Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner, anyhow.

Teenage girls overrated this movie. Every one ales underrated this movie. I am not a teenage girl I am 31 year old man who likes vampire movies. This is very good movie. This is the second Twilight movie. The first Twilight movie is better. The third Twilight movie Twilight eclipse is also better. But still this is good movie. Yes it is Romance . It has drama. There are evil vampires in this movie. This movie has some scary parts. It not as good as other vampire movie like Dracula (1931). Still it is a lot better then people think it is. This movie has a great story line. It also had great acting. It also has great special effects. This movie is a must see for any one who knows a good fantasy movie when they see it. You do not have to be a teenage girl to like this movie.

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.
