    It's definitely better than the original film. It's smart, funny, thrilling and action-packed. The film takes the epic romance to new heights in the supernatural genre and delivers true movie exhilaration. A dazzling, heart-wrenching, riveting and tremendously entertaining film. ...( read more)Director, Chris Weitz has well-crafted this new chapter in the series and has made it more mature and more exciting than the first film. It packs great character development, searing emotion and awesome special effects. A remarkable cast of young and professional veterans doing an exceptional job. Taylor Lautner is sensational.

    I was not a fan of the first Twilight film, and I never read the books, so my opinion may be a little biased here. But I do think these movies are overrated. That being said, I thought New Moon was better than it's original. The graphics are amped up, the kids lo...( read more)ok better, and it's obvious more money was invested in this one.

    There's a lot not to like here, including the cheesy plot. It's clearly a teen romance flick that doesn't appeal to the older generations. I really liked Jacob's character, but his beefed up body and the disappearance of his shirt for the entire movie was awful film making! It was so clear that the director's intentions were just to say "here, screw the plot, look at this awesome body!" It was a blatant attempt to google it's young female audience... and in that sense, it was successful.

    I was a little disappointed in the lack of action, and there is no main antagonist in this film which made it kind of boring. New Moon's only purpose seems to be to set the stage for a climatic 3rd film that should prove to have some serious action it. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.

I think i enjoyed the movie more than the book...the book kinda depressed me...movie was good...Robert's acting was completely terrible and i think Kristen stepped it up in this one. Taylor definitely stole the screen though as expected. Ca...( read more)n't wait for Eclipse.

    Taylor Lautner's abs are truly the most superhuman aspect of this film.

    Warning - spoilers! The sequel to 'Twilight' continues the doomed relationship between Bella (human) and Edward (vampire). The opening is very slow and depressing as Edward leaves Bella in order to protect her. She's very fickle and quickly falls into the arms of Jake (who happen...( read more)s to be a werewolf - how unlucky in love and tragic?). Like a modern day Romeo and Juliet, who knows how it will all end. Jake (Taylor) is very buff and much nicer than Edward (Robert).

    SUMMARY
    fantasy romance starring Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Chaske Spencer. based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. directed by Chris Weitz...( read more).

    at a time when most teenagers are excited and cannot wait for their lives to begin, Bella Swan (Stewart) is dreading turning eighteen. she is afraid of getting older because the love of her life, vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson), will never age. however, that fear is soon the last thing on Bella's mind. after a very close call, Edward and his family decide it is best for them to leave the small town of Forks, Washington... and for Edward to never see Bella again.

    broken and devastated, Bella falls into a deep depression and just when it seems as though her life is over, in enters her childhood friend, Jacob Black (Lautner). Bella realizes that as long as Jake is around, that deep hole left by Edward seems to not be as severe. she also realizes that whenever she risks her life, Edward "appears" to tell her to stop being foolish. so she pushes herself and risks her life to be able to see Edward once again, if only for just a few brief moments. however, things soon change when after an awkward night out at the movies, Jake disappears for days. when he returns, he is no longer the Jake that she remembered and she soon realizes that her best friend has a dark secret of his own.

    MY TAKE
    let me start by saying that I loved this movie so much more than the first. definitely a much truer adaptation than Twilight, this film is a definite improvement.

    I had been jones'n for my wolves and was very happy with the cast of actors that they chose, including local AZ boys Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon, as well as the very talented Chaske Spencer and the beautiful Tinsel Korey. however, the actor that most surprised me was Taylor Lautner. yes yes, he is a very cute young man with an insane build, but the kid can act. who knew!

    maybe it seemed as though Stewart was delivering a great performance as the deeply brokenhearted Bella because she does depressed so well, but I liked her much much more this time around.

    and of course, Dakota rawk'd what small time she had on screen as the deliciously wicked Jane of the Volturi clan. cannot wait for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn!

    better direction, better CGI, better acting... just all around better! loved it! ♥

    As movies go, I appreciated "New Moon" better than the first movie "Twilight" . But since i've already read the four books or should i say 4 1/2 (including the unfinished "Midnight Sun"), i think the Twilight Series will be one of my favorites series to date ;)
