The Twilight Saga: New Moon Reviews

This movie awoke the alpha in me

it’s worse than all the other movies maybe cuz edward was missing and it was all about jacob, but the older i get the more i like jacob

Bella waiting for him and the seasons passing by is one of my core childhood memories😭
Actually traumatised me but I still love this movie🤷🏻‍♀️

Cringe but essential

bella wanted to get bit soooo bad just to stay with edward 😭 and she became damn near suicidal when he left her likeee the vick (vamp dick) cannot be that good girl. and she was so quick to move onto jake and went back to edward when he came back when jake fr liked her a lot.

7/10
i was told this is the worst of the movies but i didn’t hate it.
team edward 100%
love the cullens

Why would a werewolf be fucking hairless THAY DOESNT MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE put some hair on that boy god damn it

No no no

9/10

“bella, where the hell have you been loca?”
she’s always getting hurt 😭

omg i remember young me hating this movie and hating edward for that LMAO😭😭

Great movie. I love the concepts and action. the storytelling is very intriguing as we see Bella torn with desire and emotion. We further see the history not of the vampires but now their natural enemies, the werewolves.

possibly the best scene in the whole franchise is in this. every scene that isn’t that are the worst scenes in the franchise. this movie is kinda cool for that

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.

Jacob is BUFF. LOOK AT THOSE ABS. NO WONDER PEOPLE LIKE HIM… but Edward is just so in love and Bella is so in love and they are so in love that I love them. Kristin’s acting was so much better in this. But there was also a different director, and that shows.

8/10
