TribianiRamoray is "meh" on
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Rating: 5.6/10
New Moon is a slow, depressing sequel that suffers from the absence of its main star, Edward Cullen.
Highlights
- Faithful Adaptation: The screenplay captures the core theme of Bella's depression and isolation.
- Strong Performances: Taylor Lautner shines as Jacob Black, and Michael Sheen is delightfully campy as Aro.
- Visual Style: Director Chris Weitz brings a new, warmer visual style, and the score is elegant.
Criticisms
- Weak Plot: The story sidelines Edward Cullen, making the central romance grind to a halt.
- Passive Protagonist: Bella becomes a passive, moping character, lacking agency.
- Slow Pacing: The direction is plodding, making the film a slog to watch.
Verdict
New Moon is a commercially successful but critically-panned sequel that faithfully adapts the novel, but is marred by its slow pacing, weak plot, and awkward characters, making it the weakest entry in the saga.
