1) I thought the music in Twilight was great. I loved the use of the drama of Decode and other songs, even though I didn't know them ahead of time, REALLY STUCK OUT and hit the mark for me in terms of emotion. I thought in New Moon ESPECIALLY her depression scenes they really missed the opportunity to use some heart felt and MEMORABLE songs and to my ear, I didn't hear anything to get me to feel. I so wanted to feel. I didn't.

2) If you didn't read the book what you might have understood was this: My boyfriend broke up with me so it's ok for me to sit around and ignore my friends and family for 3 mos because life is not worth living without my high school boyfriend and I should ignore life as it happens around me because there is only one guy for me and he left me so I think I"ll jump off a cliff. Honestly, this is an unhealthy message and for that I just could not enjoy myself. I felt guilty the whole time for endorsing this sort of behavior.

I think if I didn't hold that hipocritic feeling that I would have been able to relax and enjoy the movie more. Even though I do feel that way I will see the movie again and try to see it as just a fan of the book... not as the parent of tween/teen girls. I think alot of the arguements from parents who are ok with it will be "well I use this as a spring board for discussions of right and wrong types of behaviors in a relationship" and that's fine IF the girl who sees this has a parent or mentor that is around to do so but the fact is that they don't. Not all girls will see this and have somebody with them to help them sort through it. Some will see it and think, "that's normal and that's how people act when they break up." Um, no, acting out in dangerous ways to get your ex's attention is not a normal option and most of the time your new boyfriend will not be there to save you. I felt the same way about some of the things in Twilight but New Moon really amplified the behaviors.

3) Even if you did read the book (as I did) I still was thinking.. now why is he doing that? Why is she doing that? Why are they doing that? What's going on here? Who is that? Where are they going? Why did that happen? etc, etc, etc. I think that in order to be true to the book they really had to take liberties about assuming the viewers knew what was happening and that they didn't need to make it clear if you didn't. I'm ok with making a movie for the readers of the book.. I"m just saying I didn't feel things were clear.

4) I really liked Kristen Stewart in this! This makes me think I was right about alot of the bad acting in Twilight having been Katherine Hardwickes fault. The director takes alot of cuts, the director helps the actors get the scene right and I think they were capable of much more but Katherine let their crappy scenes fly. Tsk tsk. Don't get me wrong, i am a fan of Katherines and thankful for what she gave us in Twilight (compared to some of the scripts and ideas that were flying around pre-production before she came on board) but the acting and effects stunk. Great job on music the though!

5) I loved Taylor as mean and hardened Jacob. Very good. Nice work, I was impressed. I worried about this and he pulled it off. However, I'm pretty sure that they used risers to make him taller than her in most of the scenes.

6) The CGI stuff lended itself to a cartoony feel. They didn't even use real water in the cliff diving scene with the wolf pack. They looked so cartoony on the cliff jumping around all fake-like. I really felt that I missed the "organic" feeling of Twilight. The places in Twilight were real. you felt like you could go there because they exist. New Moon felt very much like back lot productions. When Kristen jumps into the water you can tell the water is black and fake and in a tank on a set somewhere. It just looked dumb to me.

7) The other part of the CGI was great. While I said I missed the organic feel of Twilight (never thought I would say that!) the special effects in Twilight were SO FREAKING HORRIBLE!!! And that's because of that same thing.. budget, set, art house cinema, etc. You take the good with the bad. In New Moon the vampires MOVED LIKE VAMPIRES! They phased in and out with their quickness, they were a blur in a rumble, they fought and killed in a blur, etc. Chris used special effects in a wonderful way when it came to vampires and OF COURSE THE WOLVES!

Sometimes the wolves looked cartoony but mostly I Thought they were spectacular. Especially when they did close ups of Jacob and you could see his anger/fierceness/agression subside slightly and his soft wolf side come through (usually followed by a close up of his eye).. I thought those shots were awesome.

I don't think you could possibly have gotten the HUGENESS of the wolves without CGI and I think I was really glad that they went that route.

8) There were some scenes where Edward looked hot but his hair wasn't big enough for my tastes! I miss that huge-overdone do that he crafted in Twilight. In New Moon it was too coiffed and close to the head. And honestly, in my opinion, most of the movie he looked like CRAP. Thin and white and pasty. WHat was up with that huge nipple???? EW! When he took his shirt off the audience was like "Ewww.. gasp"

9) I realize I have alot of rants here. I need to see the movie again. It happened with Twilight, too that I had to see it more than once to let it all sink in. I was thinking too much during it. I've had time to digest some things and I want to try again.

I'm sure I'll be minority, but I was a bit saddened after the movie. I felt as though it was very typical from the directors style however. It felt very teen soap drama like American Pie, and a bit rushed without character development like Golden Compass. I wanted the wolf pack members developed more, because in the book you know each one very well and in the movie they were barely little more then extras.
I thought the tone was too bright for a movie that begins with depression. I understand they wanted it "warmer" for the wolves introduction, but it can still be darker.
I wanted more depth then a teen soap drama, cause I felt more depth when I read it, but didn't see it come across the screen.
Loved the Volturi scenes, but again too bright.
Hated when bella wanders through the forest saying "Edward" in a monotone while she's getting lost. Very cheesy
Others I brought with me that hadn't read the books (guy) said he liked Twilight better! and felt like this one jumped around without being thorough with development.
I am a very devoted fan to the story and Stephanie Myers vision, I know I will be much happier with David Slades work, and can't wait for Eclipse.

didn't anyone get irritated by that strange Volturi fight-scene??? Isn't Edward supposed to read his opponent's thoughts ans isn't Alice able to see the future (remember the Jasper's fighting lessons in Eclipse, when Alice kicks his butt)? So how can she be captured bi Demetri in a split sec and how can Felix beat Edward so easily!? this is unbelievable crap - I wish CW would not have decided to let them fight. they're scary enough without.
Those yellow contacts... sometimes it was impossible to concentrate on the emotions. they were a real distraction... no way

But to give NM its well earned credits: the Victoria scene was amazing - loved it! best song chosen!!!
besides: you're lucky you live in the US. I had to watch the movie in Germany with an utterly unbearable synchronization. spoilt everything!

BEAUTIFUL! Of course we wanted to see 6 hours or more to do justice to our favorite chapters in the book. But I have to say that Chris did an amazing job of compacting sections of New Moon in order to fit everything into the requisite 2 hours. Some of our fav lines may have had to be edited out, but the end result was an accurate portrayal of Stephanie Meyer's work- it flowed beautifully & seamlessly. It didn't seem awkward or choppy like Twilight did (ok, don't shoot me- I loved it anyway...) Everything looked better on film, the make-up, the setting, the acting even seemed 10x better! Chris is truly talented and passionate about his work. - We are Thankful! Go CHRIS WEITZ FOR BREAKING DAWN! (I agree with Kristen). He would do an incredible job, especially dealing with the difficult aspects of BD and make it into a beautiful, touching story, not corny or graphic. His wife is an Obstetrician, the perfect consultant for BD! I think he can make it sexy (can you say, "Why am I covered in feathers?!!"), intense, touching and triumphant and still be PG-13.
Ok, Enough of the CW fan club...
I have to mention Taylor Lautner- that boy is amazing! His skills in the movie superceded his impressive physique. He has a maturity and poise lacking in many actors twice his age! So humble & gracious in every interview! I'm so glad he wasn't replaced as Jacob by other actors with larger (egos).
Kudos Taylor! You're a class act!
Kristen was in prime form and completely believable as Bella- both the crushed and re-emerging. By the end, she demonstrated the character's growth, maturity & new resolve.
Rob has improved exponentially! He was totally Edward come off the page for me.
I LOVED IT! IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Now the countdown for Eclipse... :) - Go Team Leg Hitch!

just dragged the bf to see NM(2nd time for me).... and he actually said " it wasn't that bad...way better than the blue filter on the last one, and the acting improved too"....HA....another one converted... : )...* i wonder if i can get him to read them*....better not press my luck just yet. He already thinks I need to go to T.A. meetings

Lol. I did the same thing and my boyfriend said about the same thing. He absolutely refuses to read the books and when I talk about nmm.org, he says, "there she goes with the Twicrack again." =]

LMAO...yeah he rolls his eyes and exhales in exasperation every time I even mention Twilight....then he says that he worries about me and calls me a 12 y/o girl...haha....

but...he did say that he was "Team Jacob" in the middle of the movie...which was adorable...I had a huge grin the rest of the flick

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry if my english is not perfect but I need to ask something:

Why all serious reviews are focused on not having sex in the saga until they are married, insted of devotion for love, friendship or asertive behavior?? Maybe The Saga has the most basic/fundamental feelings that everyone in some way has felt: love, hate, jelaousy, friendship, community, tolerance, fight for what you want, fear, annoyance, etc.

For once someone has put the emphasis in good values and selfrespect instead of drugs, eating disorders or prengnacy. Maybe if young people (the first one myself) saw the good part of the story they would find a way to build their path with strong values and selfesteem.

Well, I'm psychologist so imagine my interpretation of the Saga. Thank you for read.

I wasn't a big fan of the NM soundtrack but after watching the movie I can't seem to get it out of my head...especially Monster by Hurricane Bells. All I see in my mind when I hear that song is Edward walking in slow motion. (ooo...I just got chills)

i agree!!! that part stuck in my head. lol.

i loved bella's face when she hears that he just pulled up. she's so happy. lol.

OMG wat a film i loved it :P
I watched it at the midnight showing in manchester and 3 days later bk in my home town :)
i have to say well done to CW u did a brill job n i hope u get to direct breaking dawn :P
Taylor- not only does he look the part with his amazing body he owned the part. it was like he brought jacob from the book right onto the set. taylor gave us sadness, happyness, anger and more thank you
I am team Edward so i am bias whn i say Rob ur amazing as ever :P
i have to say kristian did another amazing performance she seems to have gotten over the nervousness tht was seen in twilight and showed the tormanted feelings of bella brilliantly
loved the wolves and the volturi scenes only thing i have to say is i wish they did the scene with charlie and alice tkin about bella while shes asleep.
overall i love the movie and cant wait for the nxt one :P

i loved it but really what did taylor say before he and bella "kissed" it was in some other language i wasn't sure and i reallly wanna kno

He said, "Stay with me forever," in his native tongue, well Jacob's native tongue.

it was awesome. my favorite parts were when they played hearing damage and victoria (she was great, im gonna miss her) was running from the wolfs.

and when bella was in front of the window for all those months and they played possibility. i was impressed by kristen's performance. she did an amazing job.

I just wanna say I love how Edward is even more mysterious and hot in NM! at the same time!
Amazing...

I agree that NM was better than Twilight, but the soundtrack to me wasn't as good. It was sort of like going through the emotions with Bella, the glimpses of Edward were well placed, seemed like just in time to remind her of him when she was hanging out with Jacob. My favorite thing about NM was the action scenes, there was simply more of it. Not to mention the ending, I was on the edge of my seat wondering if it was going to be like in the book or not. I liked (the fact) that we got a glimpse of Bella as a vampire, but hopefully thats not what the final result will be like, especially the dress. Ick, that dress. They did an excellent job with Jane, they got the child like right, the pain she can inflict and without batting an eye as well. Charlie is actually one of my favorite characters through both movies. You can really feel for him, maybe thats just me because I have a very young daughter. Kristen really stepped up her acting in this one. As a summary, everyone stepped up the acting, so it left less room for any awkwardness that shouldn't have been there, which kept you more on the edge of your seat and able to feel the emotions in the movie. Twilight was good, but more for women, I was glad to be able to bring my fiance to this one, so I'll be glad when eclipse comes out and I don't have to keep pointing at the money the saga is bringing in saying "see, see that many people can't be wrong!" He's seen it for himself now.

I just got back from watching New Moon a 2nd time. At first I had posted that I thought the movie could have been better...but after seeing it again, I appreciate it a whole lot more and all can say is that it's AWESOME.

I have a confession to make. The first time I saw it, my girlfriends and I had a pre-New Moon party so i had a few drinks (I'm over 21) so I was buzzing a bit and I was having a pretty hard time focusing on the screen so.....don't ingest alcohol before watching New Moon---wait until after. Lol! So the second time I saw it, I was sober and loved the movie!

soOo this is for ppl who can't make it to the theaters lol n don't mind it not being oh so crystal clear.

I thought the movie was awesome!!!

The only two things I hated they left out was:
1) When Bella and Jacob are in the truck and she is debating on loving him and she hears Edward say "be happy". I don't know why they would have left that out.

2) When Bella wakes up after Italy, they didn't make her think she was still dreaming.

LOVED IT!!! LOVED IT!!! it's going to be VERY difficult to do, but i have a new goal for myself before i watch eclipse in june! *sigh* no spoilers, trailers, or spoofs for me!!???? i really feel that it took a little bit away from the movie experience, and i think i kind of ruined it for myself.

parts where i should of been in awe i was laughing!! LMFAO for instance when jasper was after bella all i could think of was "I NEEEEEED IT!!!!!" and when bella asked edward to kiss her all i could focus on was the damn guinea pig spoof and her eyebrow!

when i watched the trailers online over and over and over i was literally in tears. when i watched the movie i was like oh yeah.. i still loved it but i'm gonna *try* and be on my best behavior and refrain from spoiling it for myself if that makes any sense. it's gonna be hard, but i would really like to experience all that emotion of seeing it all for the first time on the "big screen" :) so my challenge begins!!..

What a pity that the producers of the sequel took this one away from C. Hardwicke!

All the elements that made the first movie stand out from the pile have evaporated!
In an obvious effort to make the movie even more commercial, "New Moon" looks like it's designed to cater for the fantasies of puberty!

Everyone in the movie poses or shows off their unreal trained bodies, to such an excess that it becomes a parody!

Success has done some harm to the cast as well. Taylor Lautner looks as if he came out of a fitness magazine cover. Kristen Stewart has lost the innocence she had in the first movie, while Rob carries himself around as if he were in a photographer's studio!

(I love Rob better when he's this down to earth person, showing a thinking guy who won't let all this go to his head, but then, this is extremely hard to control, being surrounded by this unbelievable massive hysteria!)

In "Twilight", the need for real human touch is so powerful, directly resembling to heroin addiction. In "New Moon" Bella looks as if she's on rehab!

I've read the first three books, and I expected a better script for this one I'm afraid...A pity for Robert Pattinson, I think he should move on to films of better quality, that have something more to say...He's got the talent, why waste it? A pity for "Twilight" too, which was really something different from what I'd seen before...

I'm sure Twi-hards will honour "New Moon" at cinemas worldwide, but...the thrill is gone.
This movie was excessive, pompous, and it lacked heart and feeling...I'm afraid, it was boring too...The vampire makeup was exaggerated this time as well... Sorry!

I really liked the movie but do feel some parts were rushed. I would have loved to see Bella explain why Victoria was after her - they skipped that part. I would not mind if the movie was longer so it would not feel so rushed. Anyone know where we can reach out to Summit or Chris Weitz and let them know we would love that Eclipse be longer - like 3 hours?

Hi guys...
Saw the movie yesterday... Not sure yet..

Let me explain a bit...
Last year when I saw the Twilight trailer, I said to my friend 'Damn I have to see this movie, I don't know why but I have to see it' I didn't know anything about the books or the fanbase or the actors. Then it came on screen, I went to see it and BOOM! I was totally hypnotized and at the end of the movie, I said to my friend 'Damn I have to see this movie again!' I went 12 times and read the books many times...

That didn't happen with New moon movie...
I did miss the blue tone of Twilight, the mystery of everything in this little city and the low budget side of it. Watching New Moon (which is my fav book so high expectations here) I felt like I was watching a 2 hours trailer or music video... I didn't feel the pain I thought I'd feel, I feel it was all on the surface, too quick, too 'we try to put everything so we don't go deep in any scene'.

I've been waiting for this movie for a year, and at the end of it, I didn't get that 'Damn I have to see it again' thing... and that makes me sad.
I don't remember any of the music I heard in New Moon, when the music in Twilight catched me instantly. Many of what we see in the trailers didn't even appear in the movie, the scenes were way to short, like cut in the middle, no time to understand anything (for non-fans) or no time to sink in the emotion with the character.

I think I liked it, in a way, or maybe just because I'd be too sad to say I didn't like it.. But I'm very disapointed.

I think it failed to take me where I wanted to be taken.
:_(

Don't be sad. What you need to do, is go see the movie a second time. Trust me on this....

Step back, take a breath...

It is SOOO much better the second time. You will see the things that you missed and all of the nuances that make New Moon really special. You will see the 'heart and soul' of the movie. I just know it!

See it again...you will change your mind. :)

hugs

well said!!
i sore it first at the midnight showing n came out thinking that was really good and im glad CW kept to the book but whn i went to see it 2 days l8r i came out thinking omg that was amazing !!!
u need to c it a 2nd time just like SM posted on her website tht u had to read the book twice b4 moving on2 eclipse u need the 2nd viewing :P
i do have to agree about the music though the soundtrack is not as gd as twilight although i love muse- i belong to you

I loved New Moon, Chris Weitz has done an amazing job on the film,
Loved alices character even more than twilight, and the fact the most of the key things that happen in the book happen in the film was amazing am so glad they didn't miss much if anything out.
The break up scene with bella and edward made me tear up, jacob made me laugh so did alice, the cullens were so much better in this film appearance wise, LOVED IT can;t wait to see it again on wednesday and can't wait to see what they do with eclipse.

CHRIS WEITZ for BREAKING DAWN!!!!

First, let me say that I really loved the movie and, by the end, I was almost Team Jacob! Taylor really nailed it; so did Kristen. I think the emotions and the budding love was very tangible between them. Now here's where my complaint comes in: did anybody else think that the intensity between Edward and Bella was much less than Twilight? People I talked to thought that happens when people are actually in a relationship. I did not think until now that Kristen and Rob were in a relationship but after the movie, I'm not so sure! Did anybody else feel this way? Just curious!

I agree with you about the intensity.. but in New Moon...You lack that intensity because he is actually not there for 3/4 of the book - and the pull was to the intensity of Bella and Jacob's relationship, which I think they nailed.

You did feel how she and he were hurting during the break up scene..She was great and he conveyed that with one simple kiss to the forehead...They love each other so much that it causes them that much pain. I think that intensity was conveyed in that one scene alone.

I have to agree though, that I wished they would have given us a few more minutes of the "reunion" before the Volturri appeared (since that was all that we were given in her forgiving him", I would have wanted the "you actually think I tried to kill myself out of guilt" and the "I cannot live wihout my soul", and shown some intensity there before the kiss...

All in all I loved the Movie. I am trying to convince my sister to go with me on Thanksgiving after Dinnner, since she hasn't seen it (nor twilight, but I plan on having her watch it that night)

I liked the movie. I thought it stuck well within the confines of the book. Like most people, I didn't like the score at all. It is the only thing that ruined the movie for me. When I listened to it, it reminded me of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. It was too fantasy. And yes, I know it's a fantasy book, but the book portrays it as reality. Twilight's score = awesome. My favorite scenes were Bella's fading away scene, as they showed her in her depressed states with the dreams and everything. That's when I cried, because you could see how much it killed her. My other favorite was in the fight with the Volturi, when she yelled and then begged them to kill her, not him. I love how she is willing to give up everything for him.

Ok I think I was the last person in the web side to watch the movie hahaha. We went yesterday with my hubby and..................I have really mixed feeling about this one. There are somethings that were better tahn twiligth like the color of the movie the special efects, the cullens i think.... but this one didnt have continuity, it was like jumping scenes, it give me the feeling of rush. I know that it was imposible to put the whole book in 2 hours but it was jumpy like when she was depress and then she just show ou at jacobs house with the bikes..........2mint more to show where she got the bikes from would be nice, or before the vote she just stands up from bed and bum!!! at the cullesn house.....what happen with nocking the door "welcome bella" or somenthing like that.... you know what a mean continuty and also to all those people out there that said that KS didnt showed any emotion.........people seriously what more you want...her face of pain was more then 3 hours crying, her face when the months when by was.....to much and the screaming and the dreams (cries) it was sooooo painful to watchl, I think it was more painfull that how I imagine it in tha book, and edwards face!!! woao that is lots of pain and emotion out there.
The wolfs where amazing!!!!!!!! sometimes scrary amazing really good I like sams and emily performance, the other guys where ok.
I did not like the score at all, like I_am_fan said to much fantasy. The voltury scene was really good and really real but I would like a longer kiss, maybe a little more passion or intensity like in twilithg, these kisses where like painfull, but it is a sad book soooo.
Jacob and Charlie rock!!!!!! and alice.....50/50.

Ok so first of all AMAZING JOB to everyone! I loved the movie, this was my least favorite of the books, but this was sooooo much better than the movie adaptation of Twilight. While I loved Twilight to, it deviated way too much fromt he book, whereas as New Moon was so close until the end. The end was my biggest problem with the movie. Don't hate me for this, but I know in the book the whole marraige thing is introduced, but Bella doesn't say to Jacob "It's him it's always been him" until the end of the 3rd book!!!!! That really makes me nervous about where they are going to go with Eclipse. I still can't wait for Eclipse because that's where we really get to know the Cullen's really well, but I can't believe they through that part into New Moon. I mean Bella doesn't even realize that she has strong feelings like that for Jake until the last part of Eclipse. So yeah, that pissed me off a little, but other than that, everything else I didn't like paled in comparison.
I also didn't like how rushed everything was after she jumped off the cliff, I mean I know in the book everything is very fast paced from that point on, but it kind of felt like we were jipped in those scenes. I mean the end of New Moon was my absolute favorite part of the book because EDWARD is back of course, but also because it shows that Bella and Edward are closer than ever even though, for the first few minutes, she thinks she's dreaming when Edward gets her back home. I especially missed the way that scene played out in the book versus how they did it in the movie.
I would also like to say that the scene where Aro sees Bella as a vampire, was really cheesy, I really hope that they make her sexy in Breaking Dawn when she becomes a Vampire because that is how it is written. She becomes instantly confident in herself as a person but also in the way she looks, she knows she's hot and she uses that to her advantage which is completely different than she was as a human.
Anyway, I just wanted to air my views, there were other things that I took issue with but I can't think of them right now. Oh, the movie theater scene was terrific, so funny!
I would also like to say thanks to everyone who was involved in bringing this book and all the other books to life, you are doing a fantastic job! Can't wait for Eclipse in June!!!! When are we gonna here the official ok for Breaking Dawn?! In its first weekend, New Moon made more than enough to give it the green light!

okay.. seriously. like the movie was really choppy and the cullens eyes stayed gold throughout the movie even with bellas blood from the papercut.. i think the movie should have been more detailed because the cullen family were in the book more than the movie.. idk i liked it but i think twilight was better.. just my opinion

to all those who are confused between Edward and Jacob after watching New Moon....and to those who had switch team after watching the movie....pls read this.....
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5529064/1/Edward_vs...

I was REALLY REALLY DISAPPOINTED! loathed it. This coming from someone who was counting down the days to see it. I am a huge fan of the books and loved the film for Twilight.

Maybe having read and seen a lot of the promotional bumph I was expecting too much.... I found myself wondering how Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson & Co. could promote it as being "so much better than Twilight". The problems?

1. Script really crappy - A lot of the dialogue just didn't sound like how people talk in real life. Also lots of little tweaks here and there (like Edward & Bella discussing Romeo & Juliet in the classroom instead of at home in front of a DVD) really reduced the charming elements of the book - in that scene in particular it would have seemed more casual & intimate if presented as is in the book, adding impact to the break-up scene).
2. Soundtrack really lacklustre & un-inspiring. Lots of people mention a stand-out part of the film being the bit where Victoria is being hunted through the forest. I think a big part of that was the excellent choice of music. The score in particular was downright annoying. In the tense emotionasl scenes between Bella & Jacob it was often really chocolate-boxy & schmaltzy. I felt like I was watching a made-for-TV movie on the Hallmark Channel.
3. New moon was the most melancholy and possibly creepy of the books yet the tone of the film is dreary, flat, and melodromatic. The fact that Bella doesn't shed a single tear and no-one comments at all about the Volturi killing a room full of tourists says it all. Am I the only one who found the bit where they've come out of their audience with the Volturi and are waiting to see if they'll really be allowed out so tense and chilling. It was a scene that really brings home to Bella the reality of vampires and Edward's disgust at their actions illustrates how different he and his family are from them. I get chills when bella says "All those people..." That scene is also the most emotionally uplifting part of the story because it's the first moment when everyone is out of immediate danger and can let their guards down and enjoy the reunion that's built up throughout the whole story - it's really tender and intimate. I couldn't wait to see it in the film.
4. Make-up & wigs.... I read so much stuff about people trying to improve the make-up after Twilight. Honestly, I thought the makeup looked better (more subtle) in Twilight. The contact lenses were better in Twilight and there weren't so many god-awful wigs. Seriously, I just wanted to laugh every time I saw Jasper, and Rosalie was almost unrecognisable from the first Movie. Don't know what happened to Esme, but wasn't she really good looking in the first movie???
5. Redder than red contact lenses. Aren't the bad vampires supposed to blend with society just as the Cullens do? The nomadic vampires in Twilight had dark, subtle contacts, whereas Laurant & the Volturi look like Micheal J. Fox in "I was a teenage vampire" Sheesh. Scare? non.
6. Wardrobe - I get that Edward is an old soul etc. etc., but thought he looked a dam site hipper and groovier in Twilight. As for Bella & Edward running through the forest in slow-mo they look like an advert for fabric softener or something....'nuf said.
7. Don't remember Jake & Bella being so kissy kissy in the book...
8. Don't think Bella actually getting on the motor-bike really added anything to the film - probably just annoyed the hell out of everyone. She rides a bike later after all. We're not completely stupid - we get it, she lives for danger. I think even the 11 year old fans are smart enough not to need that extra bit of ramping up.
9. Did Edward have a ball on a string to look at the whole time he delivered every line that was somewhere 30cm off the ground? Is there some vampire law that you can't look anyone in the eyes when you talk to them?
Anyway, they're the main things. Look I know movies can't include everything in book adaptations and you can't please everyone, but I felt New Moon was trying to stretch itself too much. It slavishly followed the book to an extent but in so doing, kind of just under-did everything. I said to my friend "if this film sucks, don't tell my husband" because I knew he'd love it if it sucked. I ended up coming home and ranting for 20 minutes about how much it sucked. He was delighted. - sigh -

Sorry to join the disappointment club too... I agree almost on every point you say. I understand they change some things for the non-twihards, but the effect was the opposite, like the motorbike scene.
I also liked my Rob better in Twilight, but no mistakes: I loved him in the break up scene, in Rio, Italy, but before the birthday party, he was too depressed, I think and back in Forks, too. But I think he made the best he could with what he was given.
Kristen and Rob as screenwriters for BD!!!!
I was way too pissed with the last part; too rushed, we don't get a chance to see how Bella and Edward's relationship gets stronger. I had to re-read those chapters again so that I could feel better!
They'd better have more material for this part in the DVD, because I can be much more short-tempered than Paul!!!
CW, I like you, and loved many scenes but we needed a longer NM and another script!

I totally agree with you. My husband said "I think they make the movie a bit different from the book because what works as a book may not work as a movie, the scene's would have to go so much longer & the movie would be 5-6hrs long! also not all people read the books so they need to make it work so people that haven't read the books understand what's going on." They were my husbands words to me when i came home & just picked the movie apart cause i was so so dissapointed! I did like the movie, But there was so much wrong with it. As you will see from my post's up there ^.

I watched New Moon last night and overall, I gave it 7/10. But I'm planning on watching it again, again, and again! Here are my likes and dislikes in New Moon movie.

Negative:
- All of the scenes are cut too short. It bothered me to no end. Maybe Chris Weitz should have made New Moon a 3-hour movie after all.
- The score from wolf Jacob and wolf Paul's fight was an epic fail. It made the awesome fight look utterly stupid and just plain dumb.
- Notice how a clip was repeated over and over again; forest at night, tree branches, the camera moves down slowly, and it shows a subject (like Bella lying on the ground, etc.).

Positive:
- Amazing performance from the main 3 characters. Kristen has obviously improved her acting skills. I can totally see Bella's pain and numbness reflected through her eyes, facial expression, and attitude. Now that Taylor has more screen time, he finally shows us what he's got (besides his massive abs). There was a time his acting was a bit overdone, but that's not such a big problem for me. As for Robert *sigh* how can he be so heart-breaking in this movie? Edward quoting Romeo in class, Edward crushing the phone in Rio (look at the filthy surroundings he had lived in for the past months! And his ripped clothes! *cry*), and Edward whispering, "Heaven." when he was once again reunited with Bella... they left me speechless. Period.
- The CGIs are more enhanced but of course that's what happens when you have bigger budget! The wolves look real and the sparkle effect that looks like rays shining out from their bodies. Yeah, baby.
- I love how they use lots of songs from the soundtrack and it fits perfectly!

I tried to be as non-subjective as possible and I hope you like my review. =]
P.S.: Huge thanks for the audience in Jakarta, Indonesia. For not screaming when Jacob takes his shirt off (probably some ooh-s and aah-s but that's about it), for not complaining when I squealed or cried. For making me laugh when New Moon ended (they were like, "Whaaa...?"). And thank you for the theatre management for making the seat so darn wide and comfy. ;P

saw it the second time much better! Lots less screaming

LOL yeah tomorrow I gonna watch it again yeah... can't wait seeing the cliff-diving scene, the Edward-crushing-his-phone scene, and the Edward-reciting-Romeo scene. Yeah, I'm still pumped.

Had the funniest experience. Everyone was completely silent in the cliff-diving scene (only time in the whole movie). When Bella jumped this 6 year-old girl a few rows from us cried out---

"Mommie, she's not going to die is she"

The whole theatre just died laughing... it was sooo sweet lolol

Enjoy your second screening....much better

That would ruin the suspense but otherwise an unforgettable moment for me LOL
The second time I watched it was actually worse than the first one; the seat was less comfy (but that's insignificant), I have to go to the toilet in the middle of the movie (but that's nobody's fault), there's a snobbish teenager next to me who kept babbling about Twilight facts to her friend, my friend kept gripping my arm the whole time from anticipation, and there's a little kid kicking the back of my seat the whole time and sometimes he would say things or complain LOL. So in revenge (at the snobbish teenager) I kept saying quotes I remembered from the previous screening loudly and said what will happen in the next scene and so on.
P.S.: The part when Bella was drowning and Edward popped out of the surface, the snobbish teenager went, "It's Cedric Diggory! HAHA! It's Cedric!" *rolls eyes*

One thing that freaks me out about the Twilight fandom is the willingness to blame the chicks. Shortcomings in Twilight? Catherine sucks. Shortcomings in New Moon? Melissa sucks. Come on, guys. Chris Weitz killed this series for anyone other than a die-hard fan of the books, just like he killed His Dark Materials. Overlong and bland - I'm just glad Michael Sheen was there to enliven things.

New Moon was EPIC! Soooo much better then Twilight in so many ways. CW was truer to the book, used music with visuals fantastically. Kristen killed it as an actress. She was superb!! You actually could feel the emotions of her relationship with both Edward and Jacob. The ending was brilliant! A cliffhanger. The music/soundtrack was so much better this time around. Soooo many talented indie artists. Much better then the Twilight soundtrack. It really really was very well done. Cant wait for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn!

CW did an amazing job on New MOON.He kept true to the book with a few changes which was fine with me.Rob was Edward to a tee.You saw how much he loved Bella heart and soul.It killed him to leave her!Taylor did ok as Jacob.The friendship between Jacob and Bella was just that of friends PERIOD.She Loves Edward he is her life! I loved it when Alice came back when she thought Bella died and gave her the riot act for hanging around Jake and the wolf pack.It would've been something Edward would've done.Bella is everything to Edward and Alice knows it.So she took it upon her to scold her future sister-in-law.I also loved the way CW showed Edwards reaction to Bellas "death".It showed us that he loves her more than anything in the world and wants to join her.I loved it when Alice told Bella that Edward wants to die and she yells at Jake when she found out that person on the other end was her love.Bellas race through Volterra was what i pictured when i read the book.Edward and Bellas reunion was so full of passion and Edward telling Bella that she's the love of his life was great to hear.It wasn't the before you Bella speech but it will do.When Edward protects Bella from Jane and fights Felix it shows the Volturi that he loves her and that the love they have is so strong that it can never be broken.The vision that Alice gave Aro is from Breaking Dawn When Edward and Bella go hunting for the first time together.I will bet on it.I love the fact that Bella had a nightmare about the tour group that was going to be killed by the Volturi and Edward waking her up and telling her it's ok i'm here and i'm not leaving PERIOD.The vote scene was great.When Edward told Jake thank you for protecting Bella while he was away was awesome.It showed Jake that Edward appreciates him in his own way.When Bella told Jake that I love you was only as a friend and that Edward is the love of her life and they're together for better or for worse.Marry me Bella was the perfect way to end the movie.It paves the way for Eclipse and shows Bella that he's serious about her.But we all know her answer to him is yes.I can't wait for Eclipse.I want to hear the funny bantering between Edward and Jacob.It will be great humor.TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY!

I just saw New Moon for the first time, I haven't watched it yet because I was avoiding to watch it with those teenagers that can't shut their f****** mouth when they see a handsome guy on screen or just can't stop talking. I like to really concentrate when I'm watching a movie and like the place to be quiet so I knew if I was going to watch it with them I would get really pissed off and it would ruin my first impression on the movie. So I bought tickets for the last show today (I knew their parents wouldn't let them be late at night on the movies on a Sunday).
Anyway, the place was packed, I can say that 95% of the people there were in their 20s, 30s or above that. I was impressed with the quantity of men watching it, the audience was like 55% female and 45% male.

Despite there were three big WTF moments (in my opinion), I LOVED the movie, it was great.
I'm specially happy with Kristen, I really think she owned the movie (I'm not saying that just because I'm her fan), she was completely AMAZING, she did everything like it's described in the book, every Bella's reactions, feelings. I'm really proud of my girl, her acting put I smile in my face :D
Taylor impressed me a lot too, he did a great job, he was better them I was expecting.
The whole cast in general did a great job.

I loved the fact that they showed that Bella's dream in the beginning, It was perfect. I don't know why but I thought they wouldn't show that dream.
One of the WTF moments for me (and the audience laughed at this part, because it is really too bizarre) is when Aro takes Alice hand to see if she will transform Bella into a vampire and it appears Edward and Bella running into the forest and Bella sparkling in the sun.

When Edward asks Bella to marry him and the movie ends, people were saying "NNNOOOO" hehehe.

I'm gonna watch the movie tomorrow again, the last showing again :D

And I have to say this: Chris Weitz for Breaking Dawn \o/

ps.: Sorry if my post has many grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.

Also i just wanted to put a link up for this amazing song that fits perfect for when Bella jumps off the cliff. When you read this part in the book & she describes what she is feeling when she is in the water..it is amazing how perfect this song is. It is a bit heavy though for new moon, But it's an amazing song. I even said to my husband i think Breaking Benjamin's new album Dear agony, Has so many songs on it that fit well with the whole saga. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD2D9tS1fLE
Give me a sign is a song i think is perfect for breaking dawn when jacob is worried about Edward turning bella when they go on their honeymoon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buc6j73cZW8

one thing i don't get is how many people are focusing on how hot everyone looked. It's like so many people were so focused on hotness that they didnt see how many scene's weren't what they should be. Yeah don't get me wrong most of them looked very hot...i will say Kristen looked amazing! Esme & rosalie yuck they looked awful. The vamps eye's were cool but how would they possibly fit in with humans when they all have the same eye colour that no human on earth would have those eyes!
Yes the movie was good & i know everyone has there own opinion, BUT i class new moon as the book with the least amount of info in it..i mean half the book is mainly bella saying how terrible & depressed she feels..so it shouldnt have been so hard for them to fit alot of detail in the movie. What makes me worry is Eclipse & breaking dawn have so much going on so much happens, If they cut that much out of new moon my god what are they going to do to Eclipse & breaking dawn!! The best way i could describe it is .. They had a certain time limit to work with (Which they probably do) so they just tried to fit in the basics...which to me honestly that is not enough. There is so much more to the book that you feel her pain so much, Not to mention Jacobs to.
Kristen done a fantastic job i think her acting was incredible she deserve's an award! Jacob played his part fantastic to. But i just felt like i was watching the book..but it was in fast forward & skipping scene's do you know what i mean?

I think the yellow contacts were really good because it's the only thing that makes them look different than humans. Somebody looking at their eyes would know something was wrong or different about them

I think I am officially Team Mike!

I went to the 12.01am showing and was slightly disappointed - however went again with friends 14 hours later and enjoyed it.

NM is a 'dark book' full of angst and such - however my opinion is that Catherine H would have done a better job. I do lije Chris interpretation but.....

My dislikes were some of the music - it's all very well using non mainstream bands but some of the music wasn't up to what it was used for - didn't like the flashbacks - the 'humans', Cullens, etc were not seen enough - Billy's thoughts / problems / with Bella were not seen enough.... too much heavy breathing - sighs especially from Bella.... Virgin Airlines got a great plug!! (not cool)... while the movie kept in sequence to the book and i know it's hard to pick what to put in and what not to put in .... some of the put in parts were disappointing. Not too sure about the script either - i hope for BD they get another script writer one - (her name escapes me at the moment) - while there were some wonderful lines and even sometimes the words from the book - it annoyed me slightly....

Loved, the colours, the wolves, Jacob was wonderful, the other wolves too much hype about them and didn't see enough.... Alice fab!! - the other Cullens for the small / bit parts they played loved them.... the scenery wonderful, Edward in supporting role was terrific really got a good sense of what he was trying to play - Bella loved her she was, hurt, pained, funny, blank look the part and just was the Bella i pictured in the book....

I am annoyed with Summit for putting out too many trailers - i stopped watching them 3 months ago as i didn't want to spoil myself.... giving too much of a movie away literally is not my cup of tea

I loved Twilight - saw the movie 10 times

New Moon so far twice.... will i see it again - probably with friends....

:) :) :)

I watched the movie yesterday and I was so happy it exceeded my expectation. The pacing was too fast for my liking but I understand that it is difficult to condense a book into a 2hr movie. I was really impressed by Kristen's acting...to me, she carried the whole entire movie. And Rob, where can I start with Rob...he was amazing. He truly understands his character Edward and he deserves all praise because I cried during scenes like the break-up, him crushing the phone in Brazil and the reunion scene. The only actor who I felt was below par was Taylor. I just think he needs more acting lessons coz at times, his performance was too forced and cheesy. It was a shame because the movie was about him yet I was bored during the Jacob scenes. I'm sorry to say but I was also distracted by Taylor's nose...I couldn't focus on what he was saying because I was busy looking at his big nose. Thank God for Rob and Kristen who had an amazing chemistry in the film.

I loved it! It was amazing amazing amazing!!!! It was so good! The cast was awesome,I think the director did a wonderful job, and by the end of the movie I liked Jacob Black just a tiny bit more then before =D I cant wait to watch it a couple more times and until Eclipse!!!! ahhhhhhhh! soo hyped XP

Hooray! the movie was AWESOME! I enjoyed it much better than the first. There is a bit of a pacing issue toward the end but it didn't ruin anything for me. I thought Alice's vision was cheesy but I let it slide. The acting was SUPERB! Taylor blew my socks off or shirt...! I felt there was improvement in every aspect. I can't wait to see it again and again!!!
I also felt like the relationships bwt every character was much better developed this time around! Come on Eclipse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it hasn't been annoounced, but form all the success I'm sure BD will be made.. but one question.....

What does everyone think, will it be PG-13 or R rated?

I mean there is a ton of stuff going on... especially Isle Esme... and I want Isle Esme to be R rated lol.. I mean beach, sand, bed,-- Edward... definitely R rated!!

So I voted --- R rating!! -- anyone agree? lol

P.S. for all the under 18 yr olds that would need supervision to see the film... most moms are fans as is, so they'll be there anyways... so I don't think the R rating should be an issue =)

What do y'all think?!

Overall pretty good, I'd watch it again, and I can't wait to see Eclipse. But... I just wasn't feeling the heat between Bella & Edward that was there in Twilight. It was a long movie, so I would have liked to see them make more out of the Italy scenes and the reunion, but instead it felt rushed. I mean it was like I blinked and she'd rescued him and they were back together. And I'm still all for Team Edward, but after watching Jacob's abs through the whole movie, one couldn't help but make some obvious comparisons when Edward disrobed... did they have to make him quite so pasty white??!! (we'll still buy the whole vampire thing without the sickly pale skin!)

I thought the dialogue was much improved this time around (I mean, how many times in Twilight did Kristen's script read, "uh, okay" ?) and was happy that they had the budget to lose the cheesy special effects from Twilight and do them justice in New Moon.

But I agree that the music this time was severely lacking. The soundtrack and the musical score was so much a part of Twilight that I could hear any song from it and tell you exactly what scene in the movie it came from. In New Moon I didn't even NOTICE the music, which tells you how uninspiring it was and disconnected from the scenes. And did it even HAVE a score? Think about how how the Bella's Lullaby theme was present all through Twilight... it inspired so much feeling! I missed that in New Moon.

"In New Moon I didn't even NOTICE the music, which tells you how uninspiring it was and disconnected from the scenes. And did it even HAVE a score? Think about how how the Bella's Lullaby theme was present all through Twilight... it inspired so much feeling! I missed that in New Moon."

Agreed completely. I REALLY hope that someone from the production team takes notes of peoples thoughts on the music...it would be a major bummer if they didn't step it up for the next couple of movies.

i've watched this a few times and i cannot make out what edward and bella say to each other while they were watching romeo & juliet in class!!

can anyone clarify??

or when they kiss after the party and she tells him she loves him...what does he say? does he say i love u back?

too much mumbling. lol.

Edward says 'I love you' after she says, I love you. (by her truck, after her birthday DISASTER.) During the Romeo & Juliet movie, in class, he is telling her about wanting to commit suicide when he thought she was going to die after James had bitten her. He was explaining that it's not as easy for Vampires, as it was for Romeo & Juliet to take poison, etc., because Vampires don't die that easily. Then on to the Volturi...etc etc etc

I saw it today and i LOVED EVERY...............SINGLE..................MOMENT.

The colors, music, acting, effects............EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING.

I loved the jokes and little funny lines. Aro laughing at Jane made me laugh. Charlie's one liners, Mike at the movies. Eric crying at Romeo and Juliet, Jessica being Jessica, Everything was amazing. I just don't want to list everything because i want people who haven't seen it to still be surprised. I actually felt bad for Jacob in this one. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i want to stay TEAM EDWARD but i feel myself creeping over to Team Switzerland. Taylor really made me feel for Jacob character. His acting was AMAZING.



I really didn't feel too bad for Jacob in the books. But in this movie............... OME (or rather OMJ) LOL


I think I'm about to become Team Edward/Team Movie Jacob............Oh the HORROR!!!! LOL



No really though the movie was amazing.

And i loved the fact that they added the months going by

October

November

December

I was hoping they would do that!!! THANK YOU CHRIS WEITZ


CHRIS FOR BREAKING DAWN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

He did an AMAZING, AWESOME, GREAT, FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT, WONDERFUL.....(ran out of words anyone who comments feel free to add LOL (but please keep them nice)

......job! :) THANK YOU!!!!

I finally got to see it today. What a difference a director makes. I agree with a lot of what previous folks have said. Does the franchise ever ask the fans what the important stuff is? I mean you draw out the Volturi scene but mess up the end. It's too bad Eclipse has already filmed because I'm telling you the bedroom scene when she gets to see her ring, Better be in this one. The ending was rushed my only big complaint. Music didn't bother me, liked the Twilight songs better. I hope someone remembers this is a LOVE story first not action adventure. The romance between B and E better be more Hot in Eclipse and BD.

Okkk so I really liked the film and saw it twice this wknd... but there were some things I had an issue with/didnt get:
*Why is Angela now with Eric, when she's meant to be with Ben?
*Why does Edward say about Jacob being able to give Bella presents but he isnt? that is said in Eclipse
*Bella says she loves Jacob at end. The whole thing with Eclipse is her not knowing she loves him until the end...
*Why was there a lift in ancient Italy?!
*OMG my major irritation. After Jacob visits her and says about legend storys... she has dream... then she goes to Jacob's house appearing as if she knows, she understands and realises he is a wolf... but then she sees the pack and and goes up to them sayng 'what did u do, he didnt want this', well, shes meant to know the answer.. they are wolves... and cnt help it because of the vampires... WE ALL KNOW THAT and then runs and tells Jake to do the same when Paul changes into a wolf. REally pi.ssed me off this part. cos she hasnt worked it out at all!

Grrrr... Dont get me wrong i realy liked the film... jst seemed too rushed and some scenes in it, their location/context didnt need to be changed completely. Edward said he was 109yrs old i think, is that the right age?
A comment above said something about the motorbike analogy and relationships... I didnt know what this was referring to... could someone explain to me please :)

Haha i read a review which said that Charlie as chief of police would surely wonder why a half naked man is carrying his daughter out of the woods lol...

I totally agree with you.. i think there was way to many scene's that were wrong. I didnt understand about the gift thing either..im thinking huh this is meant to be in eclipse?
The movie is way way to RUSHED! I liked it dont get me wrong but they changed to much to suit them i think.

here I'll help clarify some of your questions, because I know it gets confusing when they take a book and turn it into film and change some stuff, etc...
Angela asks Eric to the prom in Twilight. The book characters of Ben and Lauren were cut from the movie version because there were just too many storylines with their additions...I believe they were sort of morphed into the movie characters of Eric and Jessica.
Yeah I think you are correct about that Edward line, but maybe CW wanted to make it clear from the start that Bella felt "lacking" when it comes to what she really has that makes Edward want her (which sets up the reason in the movie that she can believe why he's leaving so easily) and so her relationship to him is SO different than with Jacob.
Yeah Bella jumps the gun there...but she does love Jacob but not in the epic romantic way. I think it was to set up the competition of Eclipse.
The elevator is in a part of the Volturi building complex they go through...see first page in Chapter 21, The Verdict. There is a description of the "reception" area.
And about the other stuff...well the movie simply HAS to incorporate other tactics like combining scenes, compressing storylines, and adding some new scenes or lines to link the other scenes together and keep the movie flowing. Or the audience is going to get up and leave. That's what happens when you go from a 562 page book that has all the time in the world to grab your attention whenever you pick it up and read, to a movie that has to do the same thing but in only 2 to 3 hours period at one time. Tricky and complicated stuff. (did I mention how much I love CW? haha)

First off, I'm not a movie critic, and I have never done this before, so please take this with a grain of salt...
Starting with what I loved: I thought this movie was SCORES above Twilight! (I liked twilight, please don't misunderstand).

Everything from the graphics to the acting was great and completely believable. I especially liked how they transformed certain situations to be more visually interesting such as Bella's motorcycle ride in Port Angeles, Edwards physical fight with the volturi, the months passing while the weather changes scene, and of course, Bella's visions of Edward.

I also really liked how the Volturri (Aro) connected with and highlighted the love Bella has for Edward and how they call attention to it when she offers up her life for his. The ultimate sacrafice. I thought that was a dynamic and interesting piece to include in that scene. It tied into the idea of vampires with souls and their capacity for love, especially with a mortal.I was glad the movie speaks about the notion of vampires with souls, and it makes the viewer ask that question and also recognize the possibilty. It was a notion I had never considered before, and I thought it was an excellent way to point out the complexity of this storyline. Which to me, is what I find so interesting about this storyline. Not because I believe in vampires(which I don't), but because this story epitomizes the idea of "love at all cost", and what human being wouldn't give everything for a love like that? Not just a love worth living for, but a love worth dying for? (Just my unqualified opinion)

I will not say anything was bad about it, because I've never been a "Monday morning quarterback", especially when I sit from the sidelines. I thought there was more they could have done in implementing Edward's description of his love for her in the scenes at the end. In the book, when he asks forgiveness and goes to great length to relay his feelings for her and to make her understand the depth of his love for her. When Edward describes his love for Bella in her room, her resembles it to a new moon, and how he suffered while he was away. When Edward thanks Jacob in the end, it didn't have as much power to the viewer who might not have understood the depth of what jacob did for Bella, and the sorrow that Edward felt knowing the pain he had caused her. To me, this is an important part of how I try and understand this connection they have that really most of us have never experienced and probably never will. A physical, possibly spiritual connection. A connection deeper than love. Inhuman, yet completely human at the same time. I personally felt like they touched on it, but I would love to have seen a bit more depth to it. (Again, I know nothing about this process so I get that it's subjective, and I may be in a select group of unrealistic romantics)

As for the break-up scenes, when Bella is depressed, some thought it was too much, but if you've ever given your heart to someone, and they handed it back, then you know, it wasn't. I thought it would go along more with the book as to how she describes how she is physically feeling, which is attributed to how she looks during these scenes.
I thought some things were left out that could better help the viewer relate to her emotions. It got across that she was devastated, but the book describes in such length how it physically devastated as well as emotionally, not just in her dreams but everywhere she went and it in everything she did. As a positive, I really loved how these emotions were portrayed in letters to Alice, not just in Bella's thoughts. Brilliant! I know there is only so much time in a movie to convey all of this emotion and for what they did show, Kristen did an amazing job relating this to the viewer.

Also, I really liked that this movie had a lot of funny parts. It was nice to be able to laugh at scenes which made me laugh in the book. Love stories do not have to be consistently tragic and void of any humor.

The end was a huge cliffhanger and of course got the desired effect when we were all gasping, wanting to go straight into Eclipse. I was really hoping it would be a bit more romantic, but it was still a great scene.

Overall, I felt the movie was incredible!! I really can't overstate that enough. It was great! It must be incredibly difficult to try and please the readers as well as a general audience. Fans will always have an opinion, no matter the subject. I think the film is really great and it shows the hard work put in by everyone involved. You will not always please everyone, and that's not even the point. When people post critiques, it's really their passion for the story, their own story coming out, and I hope that it doesn't cause anyone to second guess the sincere greatness of the film. When people like myself, who have never written a review before, offer their subjective opinions, it really only means everyone involved did a great job because we are still thinking about it long after the movie is over.
Chris Weitz , the entire crew and ALL the actors all deserve a "job well done!"

wow. I like your review. This is really good and thoughtful.
OK all you movie critics out there: THIS website has some of the best reviewing I have read...so take notice and try harder, because you professional critics are getting paid to do it. We aren't. We just know how to do it with respect.

Okay so first off, I really do love the Twilight Saga and most things pertaining to it so I hope I'm not being a boner kill about the movie. When I first saw Twilight I was completly over Kristen Stewart and her lip biting ways but I'm happy to say that she did so much better in New Moon. She was great :] Robert Pattinson did great too even though he was in the movie for such a short amount of time & Taylor Lautner did great too. The movie was okay. I mean it had it moments. There were a lot of great scenes that I was dying to watch in theatres like the grandma scene & the break up scene and I was happy with those scenes. :] and the cute little details like Bella telling Edward to shut up at the voting scene or when Edward and Bella are looking at the Volturi painting. Most of the banter/dialogue at the school was okay and not very cheesy. Especially the whole don't trust a vampire thing. :]] Victoria's whole epic scene was so great. Jumping into the water and Bella looking at her under the water. I swear to God I was like, "WTF?" But it was still pretty cool. Alice's little comeback to Jake was funny. :]] & Emmett hugging Bella when he votes for her was perfect. Just how I imagined Emmett to be like.
The thing that got me was the score. It was horrible. Really bad, it made everything look and sound more corny. The soundtrack is good. All the artists, in my opinion, are excellent. Thom Yorke? Come on you can't get any better than that the problem was that they decided to put these songs in the most random scences. They didn't portray the mood or the feelings in the scenes and what the charcters were trying to portray. And seriously someone has to do something about Melissa Roseburg. Every word that came out of Taylor's mouth was so corny and over the top. I think he was talking to Alice about not getting him upset and serious the whole movie theatre just started laughing. That goes for Robert and Kristens lines too. And why did they show Alice's vision? It was really lame and out of place. Everyone in the movie theatre just laughed and laughed. And the elevator scene. What was that? I didn't know if I was suppose to take it seriously or if it was an attempt at humor. It was just odd.
Overall, it was an alright movie. Twilight was better in my opinion. But its okay. I can't wait until June because I know Slade will do a better job. :]]

Let's all root for a Breaking Dawn announcement tomorrow!

So I watched New Moon on Thurs midnight showing. I actually loved new moon. I just think that on some things they over exaggerated making it a bit ridiculous. But I truly loved New Moon it was great! I really have the urge to go see it again=). What I really don't understand is why so many ppl are hating on the movie. It was a good movie and yes it had some dumb parts but it was still good enough to enjoy. (I really don't think ppl that hate the books and the movie should even comment, What's the point?) Ugh! But now I can't wait for Eclipse to come out and specially BREAKING DAWN. My favorite book out of all them, they better start on that movie asap because I really can't wait. I hope it also turns to be the best movie out of all them, if not I'm going to cry! Still can't wait for Eclipse. Yay!

OMG!! I loved it!! I think the best part is when mike bella and jacob are at the movies. It was funnier and stuck to the book a lot better then Twilight. I cant wait to see Eclipse and Breaking Dawn!! Gunna be awsum! im gunna go to the midngiht showing when they come out just like New moon!!

I went & seen the movie last night, I thought it was a great movie BUT.. They really didnt stay true to the book in my opinion. They worried to much about trying to make action scene's, Im guessing they did this to get a bigger audience. But Felix doesn't do that to Edward in the book, The only one that hurts Edward in the book is Jane. (Again i think they were just trying to create more action) The ending Edward & Jacob don't fight , But in the movie they do? What the!! They have changed it to much just for their own benifit! Don't get me wrong i liked the movie but i think they could have put so much more in the movie. The Volturi part felt like it was over after a few mins!
The whole movie felt very rushed to me..like they were just rushing through the story. I dont understand why they cant make it a 3hr movie & put more things in it. I mean they have made Harry potter, Lord of the rings etc 3hr movie's why cant they do it with Twilight?
One of my fave lines out of the books is when Bella says to Edward "I can't get married im only 18" he replies "Well im 110yrs old, It's time i settled down" lol i love that part & they didnt even put it in the movie! Very dissapointed in these people just trying to make money off of the movie instead of staying true to the books!!

OMG, I loved the movie, me my aunt and cousin and a friend all went together to see it in the vip section in our theatre, and we all wore hoodys :) mine said Im Edwards spidermonkey lol, Film was fabulous, Chris for Breaking Dawn, the only minor thing I didnt like, if I was being picky, would be the music wasnt as noticable as it was in the 1st film, but like I said thats only me being picky, roll on June 30th 2010 for eclipse :)

I loved it !! Job well done to Taylor especially what a performance!! Robert when Edward called to the Swans and you hung up the phone I wanted to cry that was beautifully done!! Kristen WOW!! you did an awesome job all awkwardness from Twilight gone and emotion was really pouring out of you in New Moon GREAT job to all of you!!! I give this movie 2 thumbs up!!!!!!! :)

I totally cried when Bella is screaming having nightmares... heartbreaking

ok. LOVED THIS MOVIE, and agree with many reviews on this site. There, that being said, I will comment on some of the comments I've read here:
I loved how they did the whole "proposal scene"...different from the book, but still VERY effective to make us all go, "haaaaahaa Bella!" (Edward DOES propose to Bella in New Moon--yes he does. It's on page 540)
Alice's vision in Volterra--loved that too. If you check out Bella's eyes when they flash back at Edward, you'll notice they aren't red anymore. So this is a vision of sometime in the future, when Bella is a vampire--this could be the vision of Bella she's always had before Bella even appeared in Forks. However, my reaction to it was a gasp because she was so ethereal and like she stepped out of "Wuthering Heights"...geesh, not every vampire has to look like s@x on legs hot. MY laugh came when I realized she had just PASSED Edward (who is the fastest in the family) and his look on his face watching her run by. GREAT!
My big complaint--I've had 2 days to think about this. Now I can't keep quiet because my 17 yr old son went to see it 2nd time with some friends and came back with an even worse impression of Bella as a "tease" and "everybody sh@ts on Jake" and "Edward's a d@@chbag" attitude. THAT"S not cool. He's never read the books and I've spent 2 DAYS explaining to him (and admonishing his chauvinism--he thought Bella "owed" Jake for saving her twice--not cool for my son to act like that) that the movie made it a bit biased....I have to see it again to pick a little, but it just felt wrong in places in the movie--Jacob & Bella's relationship felt a little to warm and sweet to me (I love Jake, but he's a bit manipulative in the book with Bella's fragile emotions--she tells him he's her FRIEND and he keeps pushing) Maybe it would have been better to show that he brought that cycle over to get Edward banned, or something else from the book that shows Jacob isn't always the "shining knight" for Bella--he has a definite agenda with his intentions for her.
I DID like how Edward was shown as the complete idiot I've always thought he was for leaving Bella--hahaha! oh but my oh my he was gorgeous. He needed to do a little more explaining and begging to Bella, IMO, for leaving. But I loved Rob's portrayal of the devastation he felt and his deep love for her once they reunited...could they have made those kisses more emotional? no way--I had chills.
The scene(s) that made me stuff my knuckles to my lips to keep from letting the sob get out--when Bella is screaming in her sleep and Charlie's reactions, Bella in her chair locked into her grief...hard even to write about how that tore me up. I have been like that (yeah and I was an all grown up 37 yr old at the time) and it does happen sometimes when intense grief just makes you not want to feel anything or do anything but just function on "auto pilot." They showed that very effectively in Bella's grieving scenes and how she let it all out in her nightmares.
ok, so that's about it. Not much else to say except this:
I am deeply grateful to--
CH for originally coming up with this cast in Twilight.
CW & his crew for taking the cast and story to new heights for me.
The New Moon cast for putting their hearts into this story--their acting was spot on as far as I'm concerned. They made a beautiful movie that I'll see again.

I loved the movie. I knew it would be brilliant and I only had 1 requirement that it made me cry because the book is so gut-wrenching and it met my requirement. I agree with modt people on here Chris Weitz for breaking Dawn.

i just got back from the premiere (double feature) here in germany and the movie was exactly what i expected. great. but there were some things i didn't like. i'm not quite sure what jacob calls bella in the original version, i'd guess he calls her honey, but in the german version it sounds like he is the biggest womanizer in whole washington.. I'm going to see the original version next thursday and i really hope that jacob says 'sure,sure' the whole time, because i really liked that part in the books, he doesn't say that in the german version.. at least i didn' t hear it.. my last and biggest problem with the movie is the ending.WHY does edward ask bella to marry him in the second movie?!?! everyone was like awwwwww and i was thinking what the hell they had done. if they just would have left out that one minute, it would have been really really great, but i think this last minute ruined the movie a bit.
anyways, i can't think about anything else right now than this one scene, where jacob appears the first time with short hair, when he is walking towards the camera i couldn't help but to stare at his bare chest. everyone in the room was like WOOOW and clapping and stuff.. i have seen those abs before but somehow it .. DAMMIT, there was nothing in the scene but taylors 12 pack :D
i was annoyed by some other people, because they laughed at scenes that weren't funny at all (alice vision for example) but i can't wait to see it again!!!! :)

Just got back from the preview and I have to say I really love what CW did! I cried a few times the break up was more bad than i thought but you could see that it almost killed him...*wipe tears away* The only thing I didn´t like was aros and edwards make up edwards and aros lips looked way too red.
I´ll watch it a few times :)

I've seen it twice already, unfortunately couldn't go again today. I sooo would have done though!

It went beyond my expectations, and i was expecting a LOT from this movie.
Much better acting than in Twilight, Robert had some sort of a six pack, and Taylor. OMG TAYLOR! Not only was he absolutely gorgeous, but i almost became Team Jacob in the middle of that movie! When reading the books i've always been totally on Edward's side, but Taylor did such a good job i think i nearly fell in love with him :D

I laughed, I cried, I screamed.

Oh, and the ending was the best!!

Great film
Favorite Scene- Victoria Montage with Hearing Damage in Background
Favorite Actor/ Actress- Rob and Kristen did fantastic jobs, also Jane
Most Evil Character- Tie between Victoria and Jane
most Funny Character- Jessica/ Jacob- love Jessica Scene
Favorite Not in book scene- I loved how the made Victoria be the one caused Harry's heart attack

Worst parts of film
Worst Actors/ Actresses- Jacob/ Aro- I know I know you all thought Taylor did great, but I thought his performance was too woody and soap opera like. Aro was nothing I imagined him.
Worst Scene- Break Up between Bella and Jacob in the middle- Jacob was supposed to be mean, and he seemed more sad
Worst evil character- Aro- didn't cut it for me
Worst Not in book- The way they did the months passing, and the letters to Alice- were just annoying

Overall
Best thing- entire film
Worst thing- Jacob and Aro

I have heard and read all the reports about the music was losey, the movie too slow; well, get a life. Not everything is about speed, action, and sex.This movie was awesome. All of the main actors portrayed their characters beyond surpurb. The pain was felt by Kristen, Rob, and Taylor. I am sure that if they could have added another hour to the movie more of the book would have been added but regardless it was nearly perfect. My husband is not a huge fan of Edward, Bella, or Twilght in general but he loved the movie. We stayed up for hours after the movie talking about the things we loved and the differences from the book and both came to the consenses that it was better the way it was. We have already planned our next date with eclipse and anxietly await B. D.'s release.

I saw NM at the midnite showing and although I loved it I wanted to put a few things out there to see if anyone else agreed with me. First off, the actors, I thought they were awesome and seemed to have really grown into their parts. After seeing the movie I am now convinced that Taylor is Jacob Black!! There is absolutely no one else who could play that part. He was perfect! The critics are saying the movie moved too slow however I felt it was rushed. I don't have a problem with condensing scenes but I do think that there isn't enough dialogue between Bella and Edward. There are some really great scenes in the book with some really great dialogue that is touching and funny and I just don't understand why MR is cutting it from the script. I see this in both movies. Its kinda sad. Bella can be pretty feisty and quick witted with Edward and I just don't think that comes across in either movie. Personally, I think CW did a great job with what he had to work with. The director isn't the problem, its MR the screenwriter. When Twilight came out I talked to a lot of people who saw it but had never read the book and they all said the same thing, the relationship seemed rushed, like they fell in love too fast. I really think it came across that way because so many great dialogue scenes between them were cut out. You weren't able to get the full effect of the emotions they were feeling. Now with all that said, I still think NM was awesome and I will see it probably 100 times before it leaves theatres. Idk, what do you guys think??

Totally agree with you regarding screenplay. Chris is amazing but the dialog written for the movie pretty much SUCKED, unless it was dialog from the book. Going to have some haters from my next comment but, K Stewart needs to speak without that ridiculous hesitation before & after each word. There are ways to express angst without this. Do not see any growth in the character or her acting since the first movie. Acutally thought she was better in Twilight. Robert was absolutely amazing despite such a limited role in this movie. The scene where Edward kisses Bella and you can just see how incredibly difficult it is because of his hunger for her blood battling with his passion and love for her. OMG. 15 years his senior & having impure thoughts about that man. Taylor was amazing as well. He has come a long way with his acting. Some of his lines came across a little ridiculous, but once again the script SUCKED. I dont think Lawerence Olivier could have delivered those lines any more convincingly. Hell he probably would have commited suicide rather than say that dialogue. All in all I did like the movie and will definately see Eclipse. Will look forward to seeing what D Slade brings to the table.

I really hope they will get someone else to do the script for Breaking Dawn. I think the entire New Moon script was more focused on the Bella-Jacob development to gain more fans, but when I was reading the book the plots that really spoke to me were:
-the insecurities both Bella and Edward had about their relationship
-the choices Bella has to make with regards to betraying "her absent heart to save her pathetic life"
-how she realized her recklessness after Harry's death
-the final revelation Bella had about what her hallucinations meant

But the movie didn't even bother going in depth to their reunion!I'd rather they cut the Jacob-Bella interaction or if they're really pressed for time cut the Volturi fight. I rather see the reunion than their cool CGI effects.

Too bad that's what franchise movies do, take the story out of context and increase action scenes to get more tickets sold. I never really thought there was any real competition between Jacob and Edward but the stupid producers keep selling the series as a love triangle.

Overall a wonderful movie.

I finally go to see it yesterday at 1:30 pm. I went with a friend that is not a fan of the saga. But she was nice enough to want to come. Well, actually I used pity and it always works. :)

I was disapponted in some spots.
-Charlie and Alice didn't talk! That was major.
-The vision of Edward and Bella that Alice has, it wasn't good. Bad clothes.
-The music could have changed in some spots. But you guys were paying attention to the music more than the movie?! Wow.
-The reunion scene. Uhhh, CH come on. Really? Just let them kiss right away. And after they are done with that don't have them talk about why he left. It's to sudden, Eddy is suppose to be confused.
-The ending! It was like putting tomatos in fruitcake! It doesn't make sense! You can't ask her the biggest question in her life, in a forest, and then end the movie!
-Oh, and how they throw the words vampire and werewolf around. Bella has a hard time saying that stuff. And when they are at school and Jasper messes with her emotions, she like yells "Stop the emotion changing." or something out loud!
-Charlie doesn't get to yell at Edward. Big, big let down.

But it flew past Twilight. Which after watching New Moon, Twilight got worse and worse! I hurt to see the difference in the movies, like they're not even part of the saga!

I saw one major mistake! When they show a flash back of Edward and Bella in the meadow, one of Bella's feet are missing! It's like gone! Completely!

After watching this it made me want to kiss Edward Cullen even more.

Im so confused on how there are people who didn't like this movie?
This movie was remarkable! better than i could of possibly guessed. I only wish that there was some more conversation between Bella and Edward.
First of all the acting was great

Rob totally impressed me, I never really liked him, but i think it was his performance that made me love this movie so much more than i loved twilight. First of all the way he looks at Bella in the begging is just how Edward does in the book. and then when he got so upset you could see how much he was in pain specially when he broke the phone, i got all teary eyed while watching!. The scene were they reunite in Italy he plays so well. He look so much like Edward; The way he smiles and smells her hair, and then when she sorta pushes her self off of him he just has this absolute confused expression like he was just dying to read her thoughts. it was just like Edward! I think that in this movie you could really see how strong there relationship was and thats what i love the most from this book.

Taylors acting- great he played Jacob so well. both the happy Jacob and the moody one. He act perfectly clingy and annoying when he needed too. And also perfectly loyal and caring at the same time. Great Performance.

Kristin- well what to say, she did great, she always does! Just like Bella. I think that she connected with Jacob and Edward really well in this one. Her acting was great as usual.

The rest of the cullens and the wolf pack did great each played there role how they were supposed to

The special effects were also amazing!. The chase scene is phenomenal! it gives me gooose bumps! the wolves look so real! you can see the jacob wolfs emotions in the wolves expressions and stance which i found really great!

I loved what chris did with this movie. However i think they should get a femal director for Breaking Dawn (not CH) because there needs to be alot of romance and love,

I liked it better than Twilight that's for sure!

For one, I'm not a fan of hand-held camera filming, and the bright coloring's more visually dynamic. The script however, leaves much to be improved upon. Some scenes and dialogue from the book should have been kept. Like the talk about suicide before the birthday party, it didn't really show Bella's intense feelings about Edward and how she can't imagine a world without Edward in it. It would have been better to keep that as people who didn't read the book won't understand why she felt so empty when he left, and why she was taking up all the dangerous activities because any kind of evidence that he did exist was the only reason for her to live. And that would have explained why she was willing to go save him even if it would hurt her to see him and leave him again.

But there were some quotes I liked:
-"You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am." - Edward
-"Bella, do you not understand my feelings for you, at all?" - Edward
-"You don't know a thing about his soul." - Bella
-The analogy using a car instead of a house about how she's damaged goods

Kristen's definitely better than what I saw from Twilight, she did nail the depression pretty well. Even as I read the book, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to scream yourself awake from the nightmares and the emptiness that everything she was searching for didn't even exist. Her screams were painful to hear, the way she looked whenever the subject of him came up and how she would smile whenever she 'saw' him even in the face of danger.

And Rob! Even though he's not around much, the change from the start when he was relaxed and joking until the moment Jasper attacked, it was totally how I imagined Edward. The cold expression and harsh tone during the breakup, the way he looked when he kissed her forehead made me tear. I liked that they showed the phone call scene on his end and the tortured expression on his face as he went to the Volturi and the painful look at Jane's attack. How can anyone say he's just good for looks? I'm looking forward to watching Remember Me.

As for Taylor, I think he's a good Jacob - the bright smile and the transition from the friendly and patient Jacob to the temperamental werewolf was convincing. Although I thought the almost instantaneous friendliness between Bella and Jacob was too fast, but I guess it has to be that way due to the lack of time.

It's good that they showed the difference in interaction and how it was easier and less intense for Bella to be around Jacob than Edward. And kudos to Kristen and Taylor for their convincing friendship. But of course nothing beats the intensity and chemistry Rob and Kristen! I loved the water scene I don't know why there was something beautiful about the look they gave each other in that few seconds. The reunion, the bedroom scene was all too short!

Other things I enjoyed was the casting of Aro and Jane, even though they didn't have much onscreen time but their performance was great! I guess that's the best we can get considering the thickness of the books. We can't expect all the details about the werewolves and vampires to be in it, which would be confusing for people who don't read the series.

Just a side note, when they filmed the Italy scene Rob and Kristen had a kissing scene right after she jumped onto him but they didn't show it. As a Robsten fan it's good to know they had more making out sessions than necessary. And I was wondering why the kissing scene they did show was edited, too steamy?

Generally, New Moon is NOT my favorite book because Edward(oh, Edward) is absent...So I gotta say that I was a little bit bored in the middle, at the part where there was no real action...But the wolves were great, and the fight between the pack and Laurent and Victoria was amazing...loved the "Bella-Victoria in the water at the same time" thing!!! BTW I think Chris Weitz did a really good job and the start of the movie that matches the book's is great...I think that if he had directed Twilight it would be match better...OMG I totally loved the Rio de Janeiro scene with Edward and the Volturi were great...Michael Sheen was the perfect Aro and Dakote was pretty evil...

And 1 more thing....when Bella and Jacob were at the kitchen just before Edward called, I was about to have a heart attack!!!!!WTF!!!!!God bless the phone!!!!!!

Anyway I can't w8 for Eclipse...
oh Rachelle was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy SH*T most f-ing amazing movie ever just saw it cried 3 friken times and the way it ended i knew it my friends were like that sucks i was like i saw it coming but seriously amazing movie and Taylor Lautners abs -drool- Yummy the whole theater went bazurk one thing though couldn't they have shaved off RPattz's frinken chest hair he looked like a hairy gorilla for friken sakes and must i say when the volturi came on it was awsome considering i know Daniel Cudmore AKA Felix hell ya hes not as huge in person but big enough Aro's eyes were so f-ing creepy not even kidding gave me the hebejebez jane is such a B*tch i wanted to punch her for god sakes jeesh WTF is your F-ing problem lay off the cr*ck o and alice was amazing as my fav character she rocked at the end when they vote i laughed my @ss off at emmett and honestly i agree with rosalie thats very considerate of her to think that way but overall was frokin amazing hell ya we topped the dark night for sure b*tches kiss that lol

Watch the language, please!

I thought it was great. So much better than Twilight!! But there were so many little things that they left out that I really don't understand why. They would have only added a few minutes, and in an already 2 hour movie, what's the difference?!

Like the end when Jacob gets Bella even more busted with the bikes, and the airport scenes (BOTH of them!) (where was alice going in the first place if she didn't have her vision until they were on the road??) And when they got back from Italy and getting to see Charlie's anger when they got back, I was kinda really looking forward to that part cause Billy Burke is just awesome as charlie.

I also don't understand why they changed the scene when Bella first sees Jacob turn into a wolf, it would have been so much better if they had them at the beach and then went a met the guys all together. I know they'd showed jacob jumping off the porch a million times in all the previews and all the girls swoon, but it made more sense in the book.

Oh, and I also wanted to see more interaction between Bella and Alice when Alice was at the house. But that's probably because I love Ashley Greene and Alice both! (and of course Bella and Kristen)

All that being said I was still satisfied with the movie. Cause I know they can't make it just like the book. But I'm anxiously waiting to see the deleted scenes on the dvd!! =) And after seeing this, I hope even more that they make Breaking Dawn into 2 movies cause I don't know how they'll be able to add everything from the book into the movie. There are so many key parts in the book, how would they choose what to take out???

just got back from seeing it for the 3rd time and again I am floored by Kristen and Taylor! They are amazing! But I'm starting to feel like I'm the last person on Team Edward, it's rather sad seeing people booing and yelling "gross" when he takes off his shirt

I just got back, and wow......wow wow WOW. Well worth the wait!
So well done, just beautiful.
I know these movies will never be as good as the books, but I only have 2 criticisms:

1) The score was kind of cheesy.

2) The reunion scene between Edward and Bella was almost anticlimactic. This should have been the climax of the movie. I was expecting B's screams for Edward not to move into the sunlight, the clock sounding ever closer to noon, and for B to finally slam into him will such great force it knocks the wind out of her! This scene is described in such detail in the book, they didn't get the reunion they deserved.

Overall, it New moon was leaps and bounds from Twilight. I can't wait to see the deleted scenes!!!

***SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!***

i just got back from it and OMG I WAS LEFT SPEECHLESS..AMAZING...it was everything i hoped it would be kristen, taylor, and robert were amazing nothing at all like they were in twilight they were a lot more natural and a lot less awkward. Chris did a fantastic job i couldnt imagine a better way it couldve been done..CHRIS WEITZ FOR BREAKING DAWN WHOOP WHOOP!!!! NOW BRING ON ECLIPSE!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jacob's role in this movie. I think Taylor did an AMAZING JOB!!!!!!

Kristen Stewart did a great job of loosening up a little bit and having some personality compared to how she was in Twilight.. She still has a ways to go though.

Robert Pattinson REALLY needs to get a better grip on the character. I find he looks constipated every time he tries to speak, and his kisses with Bella.. SO awkward. I think he has Edward all wrong.

All in all I was happy with the movie though... I absolutely HATED the Twilight movie, I think it was a complete mess and didn't do the book justice whatsoever. I was relieved leaving the theatre after New Moon because even though it wasn't perfect, it was still much, much better than the first one I saw. I might even go buy this one on DVD.

I'm a vamp-fan from way back (think Lost Boys and every Anne Rice and Poppy Z Brite book), but didn't get to TL books until I'd seen the film and connected with the characters and their actors.

As I am probably the only person who ever enjoyed Vanilla Sky (and I'm not a Cruise fan particularly), I put myself in the Hardwicke rather than Weiz category. I loved her 'blue' effects, but found the 'brown' of New Moon annoying, especially in the early parts. I think it's a pity that book adaptations seem to get more and more Hollywood, potentially losing the intimate connection found in a book - not every film needs major 'slam' action. Go see an action film if that's what you are after.

I don't think New Moon is going to capture any new markets, but it was as faithful to the book as a 2-hour movie can be.

To the nitty gritty - what the H*LL happened to the Cullens? Alice, Jasper & Carlisle all looked so gorgeous in Twilight and very blah in New Moon. I didn't even notice the soundtrack, unlike Twilight which had me popping straight to Borders. I hated Victoria's hair colour (even though it's true to the book). So glad that Kirsten & Taylor managed to convince editing to keep the cinema scene. The movie would have been lost without it.

I am counting the days to Eclipse (my fave Twi-saga book) and hoping for Breaking Dawn (can't wait to see Bella as a vampire). Thinking it's too late to put the wedding scene & honeymoon into Eclipse and start Breaking Dawn from Book 2 (Jacob).

It will be interesting to see what a music-vid producer does with Eclipse.

Taylor Lautner, you are a star and such a pro in interview! Can't get enough of you!

In my opinion, mediocre. The trailers Summit released had you hyped and anticipating a scene...and than a disappointment. I prefer Hardwicke, and here is why. The spark between E and B was still there. However, there was nothing emotionally conveyed to the viewer that a sincere closeness was developing between Jacob and Bella and I think Hardwicke would have done this better. These relationships are the core of its success. Weitz blew it there. The music, which played a great part in mood setting in the first film, was non-existent. Here is what I disliked the most-the scenes were rushed and I know they would be when I heard the movie would only be a little over 2 hours. I figured to really tell this portion, 2 and a half hours would be minimum. But here is why they cut movies short-so they can have more showtimes! Honestly, I hope Weitz doesn't blow the next episode and get better music.

I loved the style of the movie. Even though it was different from Twilight, it felt the same. Taylor did Jacob proud. He was fantastic. He is a great actor. Kristen is Bella. I don't know how she can be herself when she put so much heart and soul into this character. Rob played Edward perfectly. The pain he was going through was shown so clearly. The scenery was beautiful. The wolves were good, almost too big. Rachel Lefevre, was great. Too bad she is not going to be in the next sagas. Loved the Volturi. All in all it was ***** stars. Can't wait for Eclipse. By the way, a friend of mine, who didn't read the books was confused and didn't get it and didn't like it. I tried explaining things to him but I didn't want to ruin it for myself. It definitely is a cult movie and will be a classic for people to watch in the future. I will most likely see it again and will buy the DVD when it comes out. I also will get the soundtrack. Thanks for the fantasy.

P.S. In all my posts I forgot to add that I feel Summit should not release as many trailers for Eclipse as they did for New Moon..

Even though we all want to see them, I think having less scenes before hand makes it so much more suspensful and exciting.. at least one though would be good =) we can't go without anything for 8 months, that would be suicidal lol =)

I just saw the movie and loved it! I loved how they hit all the major points, Great performances by all. I liked how Bella screamed at night, you could feel her emotion.Everyone sees the book differently when they are reading it so we all have different interpretations. However, I would've like to see more emotions in the movie. I know there was so much to fit in so it seemed rushed, but it had to be. But we didn't see much of bella holding her stomach in pain, we didn't hear jacob talk about how every time he says the cullens names bella crumples. I REALLY thought a lot of the music was repetitive with that slow tune playing. one thing i really was confused about was the scene when bella is a vampire-it was funny????? they were in old silly conservative clothes and she looked the same except for her eyes. maybe chris wanted to make it funny and not give away what she would really look like...i just wanted more emotion and depth-thought it would be more serious-but i did appreciate the funny parts. there were lots of parts in the movie that made me laugh. I liked the flirting between bella and jacob they did a great job conveying the age joke. Overall, it was great!!! just wish there were more raw emotions. Great Job to everyone involved.

you know what?
I've seen this movie twice in 48 hours now, and all I can say is this:


F***ing amazing.
Chris Weitz I love you.
Kristen Stewart you were absolutely amazing. i friken love you!
Robert Pattinson. thats all i have to say, lol.
The chemistry - holey moley batman!!
Taylor - absolutely perfect as Jacob. Did a brilliant job.


Now I can go to bed happy :D

i love how Victoria kills harry clearwater, but everyone thinks he just had a heart attack. that was so creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well he does have a heart attack, but it was Victoria about to kill him that caused him to have a heart attack.

Yeah that was good. I loved it when they were chasing after her. It was done really well. I hope we get to see Edward's humour in the next one though.

I know, right?! I love that part too!! So well done!

Hi everyone! This blog has been my bible for the last few months. I don't normally comment, but in this case, I just had to give my review of the movie.

I am a huge fan of the books! I've re-read them all several times, and though it was always hard to get through the sadness of New Moon, it's one of my favorite books.

I also loved the Twilight movie, but found many parts cheesy, poorly done, poorly shot, and lacking finesse. I had REALLY high hopes for the New Moon movie, and was DYING to see it. I couldn't have been more exited when heading to the theater to see it on Friday!

I left, however, feeling horribly disappointed. This movie got it all wrong in so many ways.

First, I really hope that anyone who went to see this movie had VERY recently either watched Twilight the move, or re-read the books. If you didn't, then you probably had no idea that Edward and Bella even liked each other based on this film.

I could tell no difference in KStews performance from when she wasn't depressed, and when she was. It was extremely frustrating. Not once at the end, nor once at the beginning of this movie, did she and Edward seem like they were in love. And they CERTAINLY didn't seem like they were epically, heart-breakingly, eternally, incredibly in love.

I think it would've made the tragedy of the birthday party scene so much more dramatic if they had been more in love in the beginning of the movie. Instead, it seemed as though she went from being depressed in the beginning of the film to EVEN more depressed once Edward left... and I even found myself wondering why they were together!

I've never been Team Jacob, but this movie nearly made me switch over. They just gave us little to no justification for all the pain she was going through, because not once in this movie did they she and Edward seem truly in love.

Their chemistry was dead in this movie. All tension lost! Think of all the amazing tension in Twilight the movie. Even the tiniest touch was electric. Just the way they looked at one another left you breathless! In this film, however, they seemed depressed just to be in the same room with each other, even BEFORE Jasper attacked and even AFTER they returned from Volterra! Where was the tension, the sensuality, the love, the need for one another, the intensity?

I inexplicably found myself rooting for Jacob to kiss her, run away with her, and have the movie to end there! And... I'm Team Edward all the way! So this was very confusing and upsetting for me!

I felt they stretched out scenes of little importance, and completely cut scenes of desperate importance (particularly the bedroom scene at the end). I feel cheated that we didn't get to truly feel an emotional reunion.

In the book, when Bella describes the hole in her chest, I could almost feel it myself. It was heart-wrenching. And then, at the end, as she collides with Edward in Volterra, she says as soon as she was with him, the hole mended, and she felt right again. And, when reading the book, I could feel that. Her reunion with Edward in the book was like a rush of oxygen.

In the movie, I felt none of this. Since she acted equally depressed for the entire film, I couldn't feel that hole boring into her chest. And, because their reunion was so brief, and they still never seemed in love--even in the bedroom!--I never felt the hole mending itself either.

And, though obviously I knew it was coming, I felt totally taken aback when he asked her to marry him at the end of the film. They didn't even seem to like one another, to the point that marriage seemed truly absurd! I almost imagined that, had they not cut to black right after the proposal, that she might have said "no"!

I was so disappointed in that romantic dynamic of the film! Where did the intensity of our lion and lamb's love go?

I truly hope that Eclipse can bring some actual romance back into these films.

I am so glad not to be the only one to feel that the movie lacked the passion between Bella and Edward. The graphics were good without a doubt, but the saga is ultimately supposed to be a love story and I don't think it was portrayed that way.

In Twilight, I could believe that they were falling in love but in NM...nothing. And I felt that Kristen's acting fell flat, but my hat goes off to Taylor...he was amazing. If Hardwick and Weitz had put their talents together---Hardwick with her understanding of how to make a romance & Weitz with his visual effects---the movie would have been unbelievable.

I'm still a die-hard Twi-fan so I will watch the movie again (I need my Rob fix). I'm eagerly anticipating Eclipse.

I totally agree with you about the lack of intense emotional feeling & love between edward & Bella in new moon . Twilight was soooo much more intense & breathtaking between Bella & edward. Their chemistry was almost non existent in newmoon & very disappointing. To me, new moon was great in some ways, however I really missed the overwhelming chemistry & longing that was portrayed so well in Twilight.New moon ,yes it had more action ,yes it had better visual effects but to me it had lost what the books are really about & that is LOVE, I just didn't FEEL the love & lust between them like i did i in TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hope the love & chemistry is back for the next 2 movies!!!!

Hey-

I have seen NM twice now and I have to tell you I am a huge fan of the books and Twilight. I thought that NM was really good. But, I have to agree with Evyn W. The only issue that I had with the movie was the romance. For whatever reason I just felt that the tension and emotion that we saw in TL was amazing... it showed the emotions between the two characters soo well.. that i feel a little cheated by NM... As I was watching NM I can't think of one single moment where I true felt like omg! they are so in love, belong with each other and are just dying with emotions and passion toward one another... i hate to say this b/c i had such high expectations for this movie and felt like it would be better then TL.. but I think they tried to hard to stay true to the book that they squeezed in soo much that the true essence, eerieness and rawness of the characters was lost... i think the Saga fans will love all the movies no matter what, as i do too, but i wish there was that raw feeling that we had in TL.. as i watched TL i felt their pain almost like i was part of it... but NM, i never got that emotional connection with E/B.. i never felt like omg they r sooo much in love...

idk, i hope i'm not the only one that thinks this way, but i wish we had the TL contact lenses, blue tones, and make-up.

And I wish this movie was less Hollywood-like and more Twilight-like.. if that makes sense... =)

yeah....
there was no rivoting can't live without you, hold me all night or I'll just die. It hurts so bad I can't breath emotions.. It did Not portray the Edward and Bella in the books and their undying LOVE. There was NO feeling in her when she said I love you...and I missed the part where she thought she was dreaming when they got back from the Volturri...But way better than Twilight

loveed it!!!!! I thought they did the scene with the months well. Emmett was hillarious as always. Victora was AH-MAZING!! Bella was crazy and retared as expected lol taylor -sigh- there was a collective sigh in the audience when he took his shirt off. Aro talkes freaky. I got scared 4 timed(well not scared but i jumped)
1. When Sam's Wolf growled
2. When Alice was just suddenly standing there
3. When Aro laughed after Jane couldn't hurt bella
4. When Jacob was standing in the middle of the road. i was all like Dont Hit Jake!!
lol i love it so much! When she was like sinking and edward was rising, i started laughing, idk why. I was welling up when Bella and Edward broke up!! So sad. and the patetic thing was she was emailing "alice". But over all it was a much better movie than twilight

i forgot to add this but alice was hillarious while jacob was there!

Dear Chris Weitz,
I would like to say you did an absolutely kick a$$ job on New Moon. It was 20 thousand times better than New Moon. Me and my friends walked out of the theater speechless because it was that good. I think you should definitely direct Breaking Dawn as well. I'd also like to thank you for making this be so close to the book. Even the dialogue was amazingly close to the books. I could quote what the next line would be. I think you are the most amazing man ever!

Sincerely,
Obsessed New Moon Fan

WOW! This film was well worth the wait!
What can i say, it lived up to my expectation and above them!
I loved Twilight and the actors when they did the first film but i think they stepped it up a notch this time! Kristen was amazing, the emotion she added to this was so belieavable! Robert was as lovely as ever.... all of him made me want to squeal! That face...But his portrail of Edward was amazing, better again! The emotion....
Taylor fasinated me, I didnt think much of him before i actually watched the film, the change in him when he became a wolf was amazing like seeing totally different people!
The only negative thing i can think about while i watched this film is the stupid ass boy that sat next to me laughing and complaining all the way though.
And the fact my boyfriend thought it was a good idea to offer me a mint while i was totally into the film and emotion during the break up scence! If i wasnt distracted i would of been breaking down! haha
simplely put.... AMAZING!

Ome I saw it last night and it was forkin AMAZING!!! Here is my anaylisis (warning:spoliers!)

Pros
-Dang where to begin? I loved the grandma scene in the begining. Kristen did a good job catching the emotion.
-EDWARDS ENTRANCEEE!!!! Im talking about in the parking lot...I absolutly LOVED how it was slow motion!! I nearly had a heart attack he was so beautiful!
-Alice Alice Alice enough said
-I loved how we first see Jasper's gifts
-TAYCOB SHIRTLESSS!!!! :D
-basically everthing else
-The end scene was amazing, left me totally hanging
Cons
Only 2 I can think of...
-Some scenes were sped up, could have slowed down a little
-The vamp's contacts made them look like deers in headlights (very sexy deer may add ;) )
There u go!! Let the countdown 4 Eclipse begin!! (I believe its 220 days :D)

Loved it, speachless, a timeless romantic classic, just as CW planned it! The overcrowding in the theatre, well thats another story..had to sit in the first row of seats..taytay and robs heads looked huge and I seriously felt like I was in their mouths during kiss scenes! I can't wait to see it again!

I'm back!

I've been fearful of this place for the last few days... heard some not so good things were going on and didn't want any spoilers before I got to see NM last night for the first time. It's now Saturday afternoon and I have seen it twice, today with my lovely NMM Miami Coven! Woot Woot!
Anywho here is my peaceful piece...

I really truly loved it. I can say I loved it after seeing it the second time today. I think most of you will agree you always catch more in the second and third viewings so I didn't want to rest my opinion until I'd seen it at least twice. I went in KNOWING it would never and could never be as good as the book. Thats just how it goes. That being said I think CW did a fantastic job for people who are familiar with the Saga. If you're an outsider... someone who got dragged to the theater by a friend... thats a different story.
Some things that annoyed me the first time I saw it were how some scenes would jump without any kind of smooth transition, none more so then at the end with the bedroom scene with Bella and Edward and then BOOM your in the Cullens house for the big vote.

There were things things they left out that upset me, but again its why you read the books, so you can add those scenes in your head and understand the characters a little bit better.
I was slightly disappointed that the kiss between Edward and Bella when they are reunited wasn't a bit... well... more... involved? But maybe thats just because I've been reading so much Fanfic lately. =P
I thought above all else New Moon succeeded in topping Twilight in the acting, makeup, effects, music, and yes even the script improved in my opinion. That doesn't mean it wasn't littered with cheesy one liners courtesy of MR but all in all I felt like it followed the book much more closely than Twilight had.

Oh and the humans were hilarious!

I think one of my favorite scenes was the Victoria/Wolf chase/Bella's cliff jump. I dunno something about it I just loved. The way it moved with the music... it was just very... epic to me.

So I guess thats all... as a huge fan, I am please with what CW delivered, I will always think it could have been done better, but thats just how it goes with books made into movies.

Oh... and... one more thing... Kristen ruled that screen.

that scene you liked--Victoria/chase/Bella cliff jump-drowning...with the music "Hearing Damage" gave me chills! yeah, "epic" is a good description.

I agree with you on the outsiders part... I took my hubby with me and he didn't like it that much, but he really liked Twilight...

I think for someone who hasn't read the books, as he hasn't, certain things didn't make sense b/c you had ot have read the books in order to put the pieces together... one examples is Bella's screaming while she was sleeping/dreaming.. i don't think it makes as much sense to someone who doesn't know the story behind it..

worth the wait avoiding all those spoilers for so long, huh?! feels good to finally not be afraid of the internet/tv/nmm.org.... etc!

It was worth the wait! I'd only been spoiler free for about a month or 2 before this weekend, but I think it made that first viewing that much more exciting for me! The second time I saw it I was able to just sit back and take it all in because I wasn't anticipating anything you know? The third time I'll be taking notes in the theater, lol.
It feels good to be home!

2 months is a long time to be spoiler free!!! esp here at the end when the world (and this site) goes spoiler CRAZY! i'm going to see it a second time tomorrow, the first i was was too wound up and excited to take it all in. can't wait for #2 so i can relax & enjoy it!! then there's always 3, 4, 5..... :)
it DOES feel good to be home!

AMAZING. it was almost 100% to the book. i didnt realize it was possible to get to close to a book. we couldnt have asked for a better job done.
only 2 things really jump out at me that were kinda silly to change. why is the volvo black? and why werent they sitting down at the dining room table for the vote?
perfect begining, just like the book, perfect ending, perfect everything. kristen did 1000 times better in this movie than the last. ive never even thought of being team J but after watching taylors performance, omg, you could feel the pain.. you could feel how much bella was hurting him and it made me wat to cry out 'its ok jake, ill love you!' lol i also loved how you could feel the pain with edward everytime he kissed bella. very well done rob. everything was amazing.
our theater was sold out. actually every theater around me (dayton oho) is sold out until wednesday. i was so glad that every stayed quiet during the movie. i was sooo worried that it was be hard to hear what was going on.
My husband said that it started slow, but he didnt read the book so he doesnt understand. i think it was perfect because it was exactily how the book started.
anyway, great job, im for chris in bd!
cant wait to see it another 10 times!

I saw New Moon last night and i thought it was GREAT!!! SOOOO much better than twilight. CW did a really good job at keeping true to the book and i was actually very excited when it started and he had kept the dream scene, among other things.

WELL
where do i begin?!
its THE MOST AMAZING FILM EVERRRRR

and I think that the music was great, why are you guys complaining?!


AAAAAMAAAAAZING :D

Way better than I thought it would be. Had me crying right from the break-up scene. And it was kinda funny as well, some of the comments made me laugh. Especially the one with Charlie sayin Bella had a grey hair... Loved it so much. It ws amazing. The wolves looked so beautiful. You could barely tell the difference between fake and real with them. They were amazing. And I loved the Volturi scenes. the way they portrayed Marcus I loved... defintely had that bored look.

Can't wait for Eclipse now. Gonna be even better...

It. was. amazing.
Can't wait till Eclipse.

i'm not going to post this long speech about the movie, but it was so very welldone! I cried before the movie (all of us hard twilight fans have been waiting for about a year for this, and it was finally here) i cried during the movie.. on numerous occasions, and after the movie!

Kristen blew her performance out of the water! She did such a phenomenal job and i'm so proud to have her as the role of bella! I could feel her emotions throughout the entire movie. And she played that breakup scene so well! AH! I just love this girl :]

Taylor brought something to Jacob that i didn't experience during the book! I honestly hated Jacob during the books, but I could feel his love for Bella leaking through the screen into my eyes and heart. Jacob means more to me then just an annoying fly that won't get our of the way and leave Bella alone! I mean Jacob's body in the movie was to die for, but his acting job really brought Jacob to life for me! and i could feel his love for bella and his pain, too. I loved Taylor's humourous lines he had here and there! There were funny! Welldone Mr. Lautner!

And as for My Love of All Loves, Edward Cullen was as beautiful as can be! I don't think there was ever a moment where Robert didn't play Edward just right! Even when they were moaning in their kiss or running the Alice's vision, he did it in a way that such lead me to completely forgetting the whole "awkwardness" about the two scenes, and it made me accept that they were apart of the movie! I have to say, the new eyecontacts for the Cullen family made them look even more like vampires, and not just vampires, but the good vampires that they are! And i honeslty wasn't expecting any six-pack ab delight from Edward. I like the part that he was this strong man, but without the bodily evidence to show it! Love you Edward, you are such a beautiful person. No one else deserves this part besides you... You mean more then my own life to me!

The graphics for the wolves were so much better then i ancticipated. I loved them; loved the colors, loved the growls and snarls, and the hugeness of them! AMAZING!

As for the movie itself, it was the best movie ever! I mean duh i'm going to say it's the best movie ever, but it really was! They incorporated many things that I wanted them to, but then they didn't add many things i was really looking forward to. But that's what comes with a movie, so i've come to accpet it! this movie made me ball, giggle, smile for long occasions, and feel ever emotion capable of feeling! I wasn't disaapointed, and I don't think i would change anything besides the point that the music could have been more depressin at some parts and much like happier at others. (Bella chasing after Edward in the breakup scene & reunitioin of Edward and Bella in Vulterra.)

I have to say my favorite scene was the ending. The look Edward has on his face, and the silence.....then the most beautiful words he could say : Marry me... See, this is one of my favorite parts in Eclipse and in Breakin Dawn. I actually cried in both books: when Edward gives the actual ring to Bella, and the beautiful wedding! I keep picturing Edward's face and his smile, and i want to cry thinkin of how beautiful it was, and how heart-breaking it was! I officially died when this happened. My heart was gone; i was singing, crying, smiling like i just won a gold medal in the olympics, and i was completely gone from the real world. Like i am telling the truth, i died, and all i could was fantasize! No one will be disaapointed with this, guarantee!
Overall, I loved this movie! i'm going to see it again because i feel as if i'm having a withdarwal from New Moon! hahaha. but i love the movie! Twilight had it's own style and New Moon has it's own style, but i definitely prefer New Moon's whole tint and feeling of the movie! LOVE YOU NEW MOON & EDWARD CULLEN (aka my boy, Rob!)

I loved the look on Edward's face in the end...
it was filled with so much delight that it made me smile :)
Now I'm even more excited for Eclipse :)
BTW, GREAT review u wrote!

i liked it soo much more the second time idk the midnight showing was just too intense, i seemed to enjoy it more!!! but ahhhhh i loved it ....... kristen wooow so good it was awesome!!

i loved it! so much better than twilight! i cant wait til eclipse comes out! New Moon was amazing.. i saw it twice i the same night. and the second time i saw it, it seemed even more amazing than the first time i saw it!



great job chris!

Team EDWARD<3!

I LOOOOVED NEW MOON it was more like the book than twilight in my opinion i just wish that @ the end instead of the change of Edward thinking he was dead n then realizing he wasn't i wanted it to b Bella as well i would've loved to see how Kristen played that, but other than that it was fracking wonderful i will go see it many more times

i had read some REALLY nasty reviews for New Moon, and I was starting to get worried, but I saw it last night...and was completely BLOWN AWAY!!! I want--no--NEED to see it again this weekend!!!

Absolutely!
I was like that.
Now I realise that those reviews were written by idiots who have never even read the book and don't understand it.
I was blown away too.
Definitely seeing it again soon!

definately amazing!!!!! i cried the whole time..... after this i am totally for team jacob but still not as much as emmett........such a hottie as usual

I loved it. I was stunned at how great it was. The score was amazing, the soundtrack worked perfect, and the actors blew me away. I thought they did so much better.

OMG It was awesomely awesome. loved the very end when edward asked bella to marry him and then the screen went blank. everyone in the theater was like "WHAT". People cat called when jacob first took his shirt off, and were cheering on jacob when he was fighting in wolf form. all in all a good movie. Thanks Summit Entertainment

Saw it for a second time last night. Liked it more then seeing it at the midnight viewing. Maybe because I knew what to expect this time. Grateful for the comments here 'cause I looked for some things this time that I had missed in watching the first time (Ex. Virgin Airlines, I'd have never caught that!)

DAMN!! WHY IS THE SAGA SOOOOO ADDICTIVE??????? its like a frug to me :P

NEW MOON !!!!!!! AAHHHHHH IT WAS FRIKING AWESOME!!!!
technicaly they didnt finish the story seeing as Bella gives an answer to edward ?
ahaahahh in my cinema the crowed cheered when Edward and Jacob came on and they gasped at the end and shouted no ! ITS WAS HALARIOUS! god Kristen was Amazing ! Rob was Sexyyy and Taylor was BUFF!!!!!!!! Best movie ever going to see it again tomorrrow!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Fav Bits :

Edward and Felix fight!!!!

When Alice comes back

Bellas birthday

THE WHOLE MOVIE ANYWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE L LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

i think sam in the begining when he is a wolf and bella is i a fetal position after edward dujmpded her, they used a card board cut out and green LED lights i mean wolves eyes DONT and i repeat DONT glow like that. My favorite line was from jasper, Happy (bella gives him a leveling glare after he uses his gift on her) Nevermind. That was my favorite line.

honey, they aren't real wolves....they are shape shifters so their eyes can be fantasy like, lol.

how amazing is this film!!! it is sooo good. i went with someone who hated twilight (ive been trying to get her into it for months!!) and she came in, watched new moonand said this is the best film i have ever seen! i wanna watch twilght!
lol
The magic of Chris Weitz. but seriously an a..m..a..z..i..n..g film. i am sooo going to see it next wkend.
and yoy should have seen the size of the bouncer they had incase there was trouble, it was quite funny.
Micheal Sheen was amazing, played the role soo well and was so funny as was Mike and at points Taylor (at the cinema!! that was funny outside with Mike) and the scene with qui and embry was great too. and Bronson was so funny wen they were going into Emily's. how cool you are !! lol !! the amount of screams coming from that theatre lol.
i am in love with Taylor. how amazing did he look!! especially wen he came on at the beginning with the dream catcher!!! OMG! TEAM JAKE 4EVA!!!!!!!!
the CGI was brilliant too.
absolutely amazing!!! all the cast of New Moon, you were amzing and brilliant. we love you loads. you did a greta job. and i cannot believe that ending!!!
but atleast we dont have to wait a whole year til Eclipse!! about 6 months til we can book our tickets lol. Cant wait. anyone who hasnt seen it yet. GO AND SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxx

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but the music sucked...... oh well ! anyways when edward left bella me and my cousin yelled " wooooo its jakey time!!!!" everyone started laughing lol

yeah your right about that actually! they seemed to put music in really weird places. but that was the only thing that was bad about the movie. everything else was great. and you siad that your cousin did that, thats really funny. i agree with her though. me and my friends shouted jacob like when ever he came on. lol x hope u had fun x

Oh my goodness, everything about the movie was brilliant.
I wish I wouldv'e seen it with some twi-hard fans...my family didn't really understand too much about it. either way. I enjoyed every moment. I can't wait for the DVD to come out!!!! but till then I plan to watch it 4 more times while it's in theaters. ;)

I am a huge twilight fan. I started reading the books 3 years ago and new moon is my favorite book. I saw the movie last night and i was so disappointed. I thought they got the big scenes but didnt have the little scenes that led up to the bigger scenes. I also dont like how they changed a lot of stuff. The wolf pack was supposed to have long hair not short! They had too many scenes were there was no talking for like 3 minutes. I felt like it was skipping from chapter to chapter without explaining anything. They could have done a better job.

I was the loudest crier in the whole place.

I loved this film so much, and when I think back to it (which is quite often) I realise it is now my favourite film. It was better than Twilight, as I expected. What I loved about it was it's so funnier than Twilight and the emotions are so deep. A few tears escaped when Edward said goodbye and when Bella was trying to follow him and when Jacob told her to go away. Also, I thought her emails to Alice were very emotional and the passing months scene made me really feel for Bella, Kristen's acting was amazing throughout. I thought the Wolves were kind of scary!!
The ending was so clever, it just makes you want more. I loved that! When it finished everyone in the theatre went "ahhh!!!" they didn't want it to end there, but I loved that.
I thought the dream sequence at the start was great, it really does show why being immortal is so important to Bella.
The part at Bella's party when Emmett said "so you're dating an older woman!" was so funny! And at the vote when Bella told Edward to "just shut up for a minute." haha I loved the funny bits.
THIS FILM IS FANTASTIC!!!!!

i LOVED it!!! everything was so good. the quirks that i didn't really like were the too much slow-motion during the Volturi/Edward fighting scene and the ending!!! OMG! i can't believe they did that to us!!!!!!!!!! THEY JUST LEFT US AN ENDING LIKE THAT!!! this heightens my anticipation for Eclipse sooooo much more now.


arrgghh!!! i can't possibly wait another WHOLE year for Eclipse TT__TT

Yay! I can finally come on this topic! :D

Just came back from NEW MOON for the first time!
It was bloody brilliant!
No words can describe - they seriously cannot!

It was quite strange, cos I read online about how cinema's were all booked up ages before release, I get to the cinema, and it wasn't even half full! I guess the hype for Twilight just isn't the same up here [North England] as it is in America. I'm not sure if it's a good thing.
There wasn't too much screaming, which in a way I'm thankful for; we didn't miss anything. Me and my friends probably made the most noise! Haha! I heard the lady sitting next to me threaten to pour water over out heads if we didn't shut up. : P

I absolutely loved it though! I love Alice at the beginning! She jumps over the rail, love her! And I loved Jasper at that point, he's funny but I can't remember what he said. My mind was too busy thinking "Oh hale, I'm watching New Moon!" I so have to watch it again!

I loved the bit, also, when Lykke Li Possibility is playing. Or at least I think that was it. No, I'm pretty sure. It was genius.
I don't remember hearing Meet Me On The Equinox though. Was it in the end credits? Cos we didn't stay for those x]
Anyway, overall I'd say "Bloody MIND BLOWN!"

: D

Edit: Oh yeah, at the end as well, everybody screamed. Quite the cliffhanger! :D
Ok, this is really strange but I didn't actually cry at the break up scene. And I feel really bad for that, but I didn't. However, I DID cry when Bella was in bed then starts screaming and Charlie comes in. I was in tears then. That was so heartbreaking.
There were some funny bits in it though. Like when they're in English and it goes past all the humans and Eric's just crying his eyes out. That was funny. Also at the end, the 'vote' when Emmett's like "I vote hell yeah!" and runs up and bear hugs Bella. Gotta love him. xD
The whole film was just genius. My mind hasn't really processed it yet. I think I need to watch it again. And again, and again, and again! Muahaha!

I loved the movie, it was definitely much better than Twilight. Can't wait to see it again.

whoaaa! nice one :)
I would almost say much better than twilight.. But there wasn't any action in it ,, just a tiny bit. So it loses some points.
However it was a good movie. Kristen stewart is the ebst actress i've ever seen! Really she does it perfectly! And she fits so many roles..
But in this one she's the best. In the book they told you you could read every emotion from her face,, and so it is in the movie.
Cant wait for eclipse!!!
When does the trailer come out? They're already done filming, right?

AMAZING!
Totally different feeling from Twilight. Twilight was quite raw, New Moon seemed more polished.
The queue was just... longer than i ever thought, and i knew it was going to be mental.
It still hasn't hit me that what we've been waiting for for so long is finally here!
I just loved it :D

Hi girly girls... :)))

Watch it yesterday, first of all I cant believe I made it ... I really managed to wait the movie to come. xD lol

Robert Pattinson left me breathless and Im not even in team Edward. The boy is shining and not in vamp.im standing in the sun sense. But really he seams diffrent ... luv the first b-day kiss scene.
Luv his face couple a minuts before he smiles .. and then that smile :D
He was really amazing.

Kristin no comment. Never been much of fan of here.... so ...
I dont want to spoile the expiranse for all of u how are fans of here.

and now finali Jacob Black the suger on the very end.
I LUV HIM !! His acting was brilliant , he looks even better ...
The moment I saw his face , I was 100% in wolf heaven.

Sam Uley GREAT !

PAUL - Alex really is a great guy..

O ya ... how forking great were te wolfs ... ha ???

I want to take the dogy jacob home with me ...
LIKE HIM , LIIIIIKE HIM VERY VERY MUCH !!

that would be all from me ..

xoxo ... mrs. Black .. looool xD xD

OH MY GRACIOUS!!!! It was the best moovie ever. IT was reslly emotional. some of my friends who werent as big of twilight fans were crying. I was crying. It was absoltutey amazing. cant even explain it. Every time I think about it my hands start shaking thats why I cant type. SOrry! lol haha But anyway, I hate the ending. I cant believe they let it end like that. But then again It makes you resllly wanna see eclipse. My favorite quote was the "marry me" or "dont trust a vampire, trust me". I loved the changes in the mood and how i really got into the movie. I loved the beginning. I went with one of my best friends who hasnt read all the boks but has read new moon. we were like having heart attacks in our seats. we leaned over to tell eachother the same thing and we hit heADS so i missed the 1st lke 5 seconds. THis movie is soooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!!!!! I' going to see it agin in a few hours. SO stinkin' excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, Oh my edward it was the best movie in the centurey. Dead serious.

To much complaining if you ask me. They should have done this, they should have done that. They cant do everything and we need to realize this. it was an amazing movie and true to the book like we begged for. I wish there was more but im not going to complain cuz they could have not done it and left us hanging. I could see this numerous times. I liked Twilight, I LOVE NEW MOON.

I don't think there was much at all I didn't like. Except maybe for the scene when Bella falls off her bike and Jacob takes off his shirt. Cheesy! ^^

A couple random favourite bits of mine - though it's hard to choose - that really stuck in my memory;

~ Any scene with Charlie. Billy Burke is brilliant. From giving Bella gifts to waking up in the middle of the night to comfort her, he was really believable. A real professional. (:
~ Alice jumping over the balustrade of a staircase at the school. Random but really awesome, it showed how...sprightly and agile she is. Bubbly. (;
~ When Edward hangs up after hearing Jacob say "He's planning a funeral" and he crushes the phone in his hand. Heartbreaking. D:
~ When Edward flips Bella out of the way of Felix in the Volturi/Cullen confrontation. Awesome skillz. ^.^
~ The ending! I know the fans are pretty much completely split on it, but I really loved it. I thought it was perfect. The expression on Bella’s face! Simply perfect.

I could go on, but I won’t. I’d be here all night.
But one last thing, I really loved the crowd I was in. They didn’t scream or talk. Everyone laughed and awed at the same time. I was so captivated I barely ate anything. I was hugging my knees pretty much the whole time. And I was biting my fingers in the last half hour. And I’ve read the books! ^.^
The whole experience was really great. (:

I did love the film, but yes there is a but coming in a minute.
I thought Rob, Kristen and Taylor were brilliant - Taylor especially surprised me. Michael Sheen def nailed his part - he was ace as Aro and the volturi scene was better than i expected.
The scene when Carlisle was stitching Bella's arm seemed oddly intimate! far more than it was in the book - she looked to be holding on to his waist as well!
Here comes the but though -
I didn't like the music playing through virtually all the scenes - too much and too loud , even in the sensitive ones like the breakups and the wolfpack music too much pipe.
The scene where they are on the beach after Bella almost drowns - in the book she is coughing up water 'because she has almost drowned' but in the film she just gets up to walk away with Jacob - didn't seem realistic enough.
They didn't include the dream sequence when Edward was on her bed - hope that is in the deleted scenes!
I think i am suffering a bit of overkill at the moment as there were too may trailers, sneak peaks and stills released before the movie. The way the trailers had been cut were different from the scenes in the actual film. There was so much hype that i was unrealistically expecting it to be perfect (as no book to film is)
However - all that said i will def be seeing it again and i think that CW did a really good job.
I hope that Breaking Dawn is 2 movies - imagine how many parts of the book would have to be cut and how rushed the scenes would seem if they had to fit it into 2 hours - doesn't seem possible - i wonder if the delay in announcing the filming details of it are partly due to this?

The movie was PERFECT!!! I don't see how anyone can be disappointed. Rob and Jacob were HOT!!!! Not only that they really played the roles. Same with Kristen. There was such an intensity in this movie plus there was a lot of humor which was GREAT! Totally worth the wait and seeing it at midnight. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to see it again. Possibly going tonight.

My personal opinion of course, but the humor - although very good - I feel should have not been in a movie coming from a book like New Moon. There is nothing humorous in the book, but a devastating break up and the anguish around it.
There are some happy moments, but I can not call them funny or humorous, when Bella starts feeling a bit better due to Jacob or in the end of the book after the reunion.
But all around New Moon (the book) is a sad story and how Bella is trying not to forget, but to survive...

Humor in a tragic love story? I mean come on?
Ok, blame this on Rosenberg as well...

p.s. 3 hours to go to watch it again!!!

OMG!!! It was the best movie ever!! I l loves it so much and every thing was oerfect, Chris Weitz is a great director and everyone was excellent. I cant wait until the dvd comes out, If anyone know website where i can watch new moon online plz send it to rimsa_naveed@hotmail.com becuz i really need to watch it again. Thanks !!!

Things that I liked:
1) Jacob and Wolfpack... awesome
2) Fighting scenes at Volterra
3) Victoria and every scene with her
4) Edward's - Carlile's - Alice's make up - not the clothing
5) the scene in Rio - not the fake background
6) opening credits
7) the chemistry of E/B still there and better
8) Kristen pulling off the entire movie almost alone
9) Lautner prooving there can be no other Jacob
10) Robert - what is there to be said? Gorgeous, but even more, we could feel the anguish, the pain - well done dude!!
11) introducing Jasper's talent - good touch!
12) The Harry scene - wasn't expecting that and it was great.


Things I didn't like:
1) Rosalie's - Esme's make up
2) All of the clothes - horrible
3) Edward looked older than a teenager with the clothes they picked for him
4) Volturi - too tame, too plain... should have been meaner (bored to act? Felix is def an exception to this remark) - Aro was rediculously giggling around like a king's fool instead of a powerful Volturi leader
5) The lines - horrible - somebody fire Rossenberg
6) the score - Desplat was horrible, too simple, no spark, no nothing - Burlwel's score was breathtaking
7) songs were totally wrong and set in the wrong scenes
8) movie was going to fast - let's get it over with?
9) the reunion - wrong set, too quick, no time to feel anything
10) the ending - too abrupt - should have a line, any line from Bella
11) the cheesy vision in Volterra - somebody fire whoever picked the clothing - looked like a bad commercial vs Baywatch with clothing in slow motion - the entire theater was laughing
12) the trip to and from Italy - too short, no nothing - was missing entirely
13) Jacob telling on Charlie about the motorcycle - was missing
14) Bella's grounding - too superficial
15) The "I love you Jacob, but it was always him" line - out of place, out of time - horrible line in a long list of horrible lines from Rosenberg
16) expected a little more attitude in Jacob's lines... Rosenberg again
17) no emphasis on Edward's talent or Alice's visions - were missing completely
18) the contacts - they eye color was too intense to fit in with humans - looked alien...

Generally a good movie and loved it because I'm a freaked out book fan of the series, but expected more from Weitz. DEFINITELY not for Breaking Dawn

Will see it again in about 6 hours. I'm sure I missed a couple of negatives.... Weitz totally ruined Stephenie's book. Hopefully Slade does better with Eclipse, although because of Rosenberg we will have to expect the same horrible dialogues.
Voting for Burwell to be on the Eclipse score - definitely

Saw it again today. Still don't like the bloody score.

I've been following this site since it started and I saw the movie midnight showing. I hate to say it but I was kinda disappointed. I mean I liked it a lot but it felt SO rushed to me. Especially the whole Bella/Jake relationship, it felt very rushed. It was like *bam* they're best friends after a motorcycle montage. A lot of people would disagree with me but this movie didn't give me the feelings that Twilight gave. The things I loved about Twilight is that it gave me that emotional gut feeling a *lot* expecially the baseball scene and some of the scenes with B/E. New Moon didn't do it at all.. But I understand that it's hard to fit a book like that into 2 hours. I like CW but I would like to have seen CH's version as well.

I *LOVED* how they made Victoria look... SO beautiful and ferocious. I agree with everyone on the whole Vic/Charlie/Harry/Wolf chase scene.. it was amazing. I liked the rotation scene with the months changing. Taylor did a really good job. Kristen wasn't as great as I had expected her to be *don't kill me!* but I REALLY love her a lot. Maybe it's because I read the books too much and was expecting too much. A lot of the lines were cheesy. I loved the Volturi, and how Alice was standing there like a creeper when Bella ran into the house (the whole theatre laughed) I REALLY think the music could have been better placed (or MORE music IMO) there wasn't enough background music for me, that's the thing I loved most about Twilight. The music just completely set the emotions. I think that if CH would have done the whole music department, it would have been better.

I COULD NOT STANT ROSALIE'S WIG!!!!!!!!!! DOES ANYONE AGREE?!?! LOL!!!
I also like Alice's cute spikey hair in Twilight much better. Overall I think the vamps looked better in Twilight... like they blended in more with humans and they were just beautiful. The New Moon vamps were a lot creepier.

Overall it was great, but I can't wait to see what Slade does with ECLIPSE!! <3

The music bugged me, too. Isn't there a soundtrack? I don't remember much except the annoying score in the background.

omg the music of it botherd me too much. what got me so hooked to the twilight movie is that the score and the actual song music was AMAZING and Really set the mood for everything. I found that there wasnt music where i expected it to be adn it ended up makign some parts kinda awkard/boring/no intensity. i was pretty dissappointed about that.

However i have to say that the walk in scene where Edward got out of his car was awesome ahhaa, i died laughing! i know alot of people disagree with me but i think it was awesome :P

You're right that scene was sooo funny!! Haha! It makes it funner because Rob was talking about the slo-mos in an interview and how they all couldn't stop laughing when they were filming that!

SO just got back from the movie. was pretty gooood. ALTHOUGH...i think the vamps looked better in twilight. i think they look a bit intense in new moon...especially jasper. lol. and the score....i thought i was like in the twilight zone at some parts. they should tone that down also. AND what was up with that running sequence, showing bella as a vampire. lol. everyone in the movie started laughing. they looked so ridiculous. lol. and why was edward always in a suit? he got to dress casual like once.

Other than that, everyone rocked. loved the humor especially. and thank goodness they gave bella a better wardrobe. lol.

Ok I just watched the movie... it was so great. I had so much fun, me and my sisters and my cousins and my friends all went...

Anyways, the movie was great but I wonder if you guys noticed, there's more romance in this movie where edward leaves bella then there is in freakin twilight! Really great job Chris, I loves the humor :D

it was soooooo amazing! i almost got converted to team jacob in the main of the movie, and then the volterra rescue mission just pulled me straight back over to the the dark side :P TEAM EDWARD YAY!! all of the characters were protrayed soooo much better this time around, and the quality and special fx were much better. my fav scenes (included but not limited to XP), were the chase and cliff dive scenes where it was flashing between charlie and harry, the wolves and victoria and bella (playing thom yorke's hearing damage). Also, the garage scene where it shows time passing as bella throws jake pizza which turns into a wrench etc (i got emotional seeing bella happy again at this point). And the wolves!!!! OME the wolves!!! They were great and they did so well at lightening the mood of the movie, made another of my fav scenes in where the are eating cupcakes at Emily and Sam's place... soo cute and funny ("you can't run with vampires... their really fast..." "yeah? well we're faster!!! you scared now?!? hahaha)
there were a few bits which were iffy... not that i didnt like them, but they were just a little awkward to watch, like where jake flips out at mike at the cinema (although i reread in the books and it seemed to bee just as awkward a situation anyway)... and where bella kneels down at the dead meadow (she should have dropped to the ground more or something). and they kinda just randomly chucked in a signpost for jaspers ability on bellas bday... it seemed like it should have been built on... but then i guess that will be made up for in eclipse.
all in all,
massive improvement, seen it twice in three days and will see it again no doubt...
Kudos to Chris Weitz and all the cast and crew who made it a fantastic film!!
:)

I loved the movie. Chris and the whole cast and crew did a fantastic job. There were a few scenes and lines from the book I missed and a few scenes I would have loved to have been longer, but overall I loved it even more than the first movie.

I have to say, i Love that movie, although i do have to see it again cause i was too hyped up adn excited when i seen it the first time.
Edward, holy crap, i Love himm. i mean i almost lost my s*** when they showed the scene of him getting off the phone and he thought bella was dead. he like he was in soo much agony. it broke my heart.
Jacob Blew me away. he was Awesome.
Chris did an Amazing job at this movie.
But there was a few things that bothered me
1. it seemed a little rushed. and i understand casue he was ackign a huge book into a 2 hour movie. but still.
2. and im pretty sad that the scene with alice adn charlie wasnt in it adn also the scene about where she thinks its a dream when they are back home from italy. i was pretty rotted about that. but Chris did do an amazing job!

now 3. which was the BIGGEST thign for me is that in their conversations tehre was not as much Intensity as i imaganed when i read the books. they seemed almost monotoned compared to the book.

However i LOVED the book, and i will be seeing it again ASAP!
Lovee.

I definitely loved it. Thought is was amazing. I dont know what Twilight fan wouldnt. But I thought that the breakup scene could have been more dramatic. I did cry, but in the book I balled. I'm not sure how they could have made the scene more dramatic but i would have liked to feel more emotion during that part. The ending definitely keeps you hooked. I cannot wait for Eclipse. Thank God we only have to wait 7 months!!! Taylor did an awesome job! He's grown up so much from the first film. And I definitely think that Alice's vision was that of Bella and Edward in Breaking Dawn, when Edward takes Bella hunting for the first time. Man oh man, I have to see the movie again asap!!!! And just to let you all know, my boyfriend enjoyed the movie too! He's excited for Eclipse and all the action that will be in that one.

I forgot to add this yesterday. One thing I really appreciated about the movie was how the little details from the book were included:

Mainly, the way Sam made a point to kiss Emily's scarred half. That just stood out to me. I'm surprised they put such a little detail in the movie and I was really happy they did.

loved that too! I went to see it again this morning! Twice in 24 hours and it's still not enough........... I wanna go again tomorrow......... but I probably shouldn't.

i thought that all the relationships between all characters from, bella and edward to charlie and bella to bella and jacob to carlisle and bella were all sooo believeable and great i loved that!

I absolutely loved it! I think Chris Weitz did a phenominal job, and the cast as well! Everything seemed way perfect, it had the perfect mix of romance, suspence, comedy and action. (:

The only problem now?
I can't decide if I'm Team EDWARD or Team JACOB
Maybe..... I think I'm TEAM SWITZERLAND.. woooooo... (:

221 DAYS TIL ECLIPSE!

That was the most amazing thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was balling when bella was first crying and charlie came in. in the first movie charlie and bella never say "i love you" to each other and that kind of bugged me so i really likde how their relationship was show much more in this movie. over all the movie was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVED IT!!! yes I know there were somethings in there that I wanted to see... and that some things were changed or added.... but.... I LOVED IT!!! one word - speechless! Everything played out how I pictured it in the book... and I pictured The Volturi's home... EXACTLY like it in the movie.... and I LOVED IT... and although in the books I am soooo team Edward.... Taylor NAILED Jacob.... but I am still team Edward... I am seeing the movie again tomorrow... and I will make up my mind for sure then..... but THANK YOU CHRIS(for keeping close to the book), ROB, KRISTEN, TAYLOR (acting FANTASTIC!), MOST IMPORTANTLY STEPH (for writing the books)!!! LOVED THE MOVIE! <3 IT!!!! 222 more days until Eclipse!!! can't wait!!

Yeah I loved it too!!!!!!

I am waiting till monday night to watch it! i know im freaking insane and its litterally PAINFUL not to go and see it right freaking now but at least i know i wont have to deal with immature people lauging when its not funny or being rude cause i know im going to be so damn excited and cry and just want to be absorbed into the movie and i swear i will go from 0 to bi*ch in less than three seconds if someone starts with me!!!

• Here's the deal. As hard core of a fan that I am, I am equally honest. New Moon fell somewhat flat and here's why: THE SCORE. Honestly, without really great music ANY movie will lose the intended emotional intensity, whether it be humor, romance, fear, heart break...Twilight hit me in my musical gut, starting with "Full Moon" in Arizona, dreaming with "Eyes on Fire", and who can forget "Super Massive Black Hole" and vampire baseball...but the clincher was, there was NOTHING even close to resembling the romantic flow of CB "Bella's Lullaby". I truly believe that the music can make or break a film and New Moon got jipped. I think that if the appropriate music was set to the same movie, a MUCH bigger impact could have been made. And more over, I REALLY hope that this message gets across to the powers that be when putting together the final edit of "Eclipse". If that movie is bungled by a luke warm soundtrack, it will be even more of a disappointment than this was. Also, I agree with many of the other posts...the love of your life just bailed on you, Bella...CRY A TEAR for Pete's sake!!!!!! I was really hoping for the gut wrenching pain and HORROR that I felt when I read this part in the book. It just wasn't there. Maybe they should slow down production just a tad and focus on the quality of the performance and other details instead of worrying so much about a vampire developing a wrinkle or two. Also, Alice’s vision…am I the only one who pictures Bella as a super bad ass vampire when she is turned? Come on, Bella's flowing dress more suited for a 10 year girl than an immortal, frolicking in the woods with Edward. They looked like Hansel and Gretel out for a stroll.
However, the wolves were AWESOME and the fight btw Paul and Jake gave me the chills! The humor was a welcome surprise and I thought the make-up, costuming and attention to detail was much more thorough than In Twilight. But, once again, it goes back to the mood setting music for me.
I would love to hear some direct feedback...keep it above the belt though, please

I'm with you on the music. While I REALLY enjoyed the movie I thought the score wasn't so good at all...kinda cheesy at times. Luckily the cast is charismatic enough to not make it matter but I think it could've been better. That was one of the strong points of Twilight and I think production or whoever makes the choice in regards to it had no clue. I thought we should have heard Bella's Lullaby in the movie, briefly, right? I thought I heard/read that somewhere. Oh well, still will see it for a third time :)

And, yes, I realize that Alice dresses Bella while she is turning, but I'd like to think that she has better taste than that. In the book it says Bella rips her dress on one side when jumping, so she reaches down and rips the other side to make it even...makes you think the dress is tight and form fitting. I just pictured her much more sexy. HOWEVER, this is Alice's vision of Bella when it is ALICE who turns Bella. So, the vision is subjrctive, and obviously will change when the decsion by Edward is made to change her. Still, kinda hokey looking scene.

ok, read a bunch of reviews etc on here, and i'm not up for posting my thoughts entirely... but i HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST:

i thought alice's vision of bella the future vamp was AWESOME! she looked so .... so .... sparkly and golden-eyed!!!!! i wanted more of the vision! a replay! something!!! i know we all saw the mag pics earlier on, but i was totally taken aback by it!!!!!!! and no -- that dress is NOT something bella would wear, but you have to remember what was said in BD about it.... alice dressed her while she was out of it & burning, rememmmmmber?

i thought it was awesome. and i wanted to punch everyone in the face who LAUGHED at it in the theatre!!!! HOW DARE!!!!

yeah, I just wanted her to look sexier - like she does in some of the fanmade mockups of her vampness.

i'm sure she will, if it's ever made.... *sigh*

okay i am emotionally drained from the 1st moment to the last PHENOMENAL!!!!!!! THANK YOU CHRIS WEITZ!!!! I was blown away by Taylors performance.......
A little help from the twi-moms please my 7 yr old wants to see this movie so do you think she can ? I am leaning twords yes she tolerated all of twilight well and the fight scenes I am planning on telling her all of what happens in the movie to prepare her...let me know what you think. Team Edward with Jacob as 2nd string

#
sorry, double post.

NEW MOON IS WORTH THE WAIT!

watch yesterday, it exceed my expectation, its 10000x better that the first film.. Chris weitz your a gift from twigods!

I LOOOVE IT because:

-it stay true to the book
-their are lots of shirtless hunks. haha! xD
-the cast did a great job especially michael sheen, he portrayed aro pretty damn well, charlie is sooo cute that i got to love him, rob was perfect, tay acting made me feel his agony, but have to say ktew must improve her acting skill.
-the cgi..fantastic! the wolves are so cool and the fight between felix and edward was phenomenon! it was killer! loove it! :]
-im all cool with the dialogues unlike in twilight. :)
-THE ENDING WAS PERFECT! it leave me and i think all on the cliff that i wanted right away to watch the next film. edward: "MARRY ME" swooooon! that is so sweet and so far my favorite line ever! hahaha!WHATs UR FAVE LINE in the movie?

drawback is alice vision of bella becoming a vampire, it was cheesy in a way.

in the theater, everybody were squeeng before it started coz all were so excited. when edward first appeared every girls shouted their lungs off it was funny! i cried everytime their ae sad scenes especially when jacob on wolf form cried in the end, oh and when taylor removed his shirt everyone was like.. "oh my god! is that for real?"when the film is done everybody applauded. it so cool! love it! gonna watch again with my friends today. :}

so yeah over all, IT WAS AWESOME and i TOTALLY LOVE IT!
cheers for CW, all the cast and to all twifans!!

Ok, I am sooooo sick right now, but I just had to come on here and put my 2 cents in. (Of course I would f**king get sick on NEW MOON WEEKEND! dammit *coughs....blowes nose and grabs head in agony* I went last night to the midnight show, sicker than shit and was so giddy when I left that I forgot I was sick for a little while!!! I LOVED IT........THOUGHT IT WAS DONE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL......THE WOLVES WERE FORKING AMAZING!! I thought KStew did an amazing job of bringing the despair (about a gazillion percent improvement from the first movie) and I actually kinda fell for Jacob a little.......just a little! Then Edward.........OH EFFING EDWARD! I actually said out-loud, quietly, but out-loud, involuntarily, "OH MY GOD" as they paused the camera on his obliques-V holy sh*t! Anyhoo........I'm off to pass out from the haze of sickness that surrounds me to rest up and go back tomorrow night AND Sunday too! (I just might not be alive on Monday) LOL!

Oh my only complaing is that Robert's Makeup artist should be fired. I really was annoyed with how they possibly found a way to make him look less attractive. Somehow they found a way. Sad

Yeah, I thought all the vampires make-up was a little over-done...too much lipstick. It kind of distracting me a little in this one...though Carlisle in Twilight also had heavy make-up so at least he was consistent :P

I was seriously so happily surprised by the movie. I watched Twilight many times but I think it was crappy and cheesy in a lot of ways. This movie was awesome. I felt so sad at the beginning choking on tears and seriously thought the fighting scenes were the bomb. Oh and I was always obsessed with Edward, but Jacob has me converting on this one. My husband's main response was what's up with all the shirtless guys. I loved it. Taylor's body is awe inspiring. For real.

i'm going to keep it short & sweet... IT WAS AMAZING! CHRIS YOU ARE A GOD IN MY BOOK! & Really talk about leaving us hanging for Eclipse! OMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I think I really need to see the movie again. I've never been so disappointed by a movie, ever.... maybe I was too tired at midnight to actually appreciate it? I don't know, but I've been rationalizing it all day.
The soundtrack KILLED the movie for me. It bothered me to no end and completely took away the emotional power from the scenes.... like when Bella was in the water. My best friend and I actually laughed at whatever ridiculous folk/indie crap they started to play.
There were some scenes that were supposed to be serious, like Alice's vision of vampire Bella, that the ENTIRE theater laughed at. I just had all these hopes from watching interviews and the trailers.... and it just didn't feel like "New Moon" at all. From the way Chris talked about New Moon, I really thought he got it... (and he did in parts)... but it wasn't a cohesive movie to me. Maybe I'll give myself a couple days to clear my head and go see it again... because I really want to love it like so many here do.

Ok, so I want everyone to listen to "Possibility" by Lykke Li after seeing the movie and see if you can NOT cry again, lol. It came up on my iTunes today and I was just like omg omg omg Bella.. Edward... seasons changing... *cries again* While I didn't like most of the music placements this one, I thought, was perfect. So sad and heart-wrenching...

I'll have to try this..... though I am kinda cried out after seeing it twice in 24 hours

33 year old mom who took her 12 year old daughter to the midnight release last night. All I have to say is "BRILLIANT". I spent the entire day trying to figure out how to get off work so I could go see it again. I think it was great all the way around. Not everybody who loves the series is a teenager and this movie appealed to both the young girls and grown women alike. The only part I did not like was Alice's vision. But I saw a post where someone guessed that maybe it was a flash forward to BD when Edward and Bella are running back to the Cullen house from the cottage. If that is true, then it makes sense, and bravo to Chris for being so detailed. However, the clothes could have been sooooo much better for that scene and Bella's vamp look should have been more like the Cullen's. I have to say that as I read the books, i felt sorry for Jacob, glad he got his happy ending, but was in favor of Edward the whole time. Taylor's performance has brought me to the edge of wishing Bella would dump Edward for Jacob. I was completely heartbroken for him especially at the end. He really brought across the depth of love that he has for Bella. Overall, EXCELLENT job, can't wait to see it again.

the movie was fantastic. encore!

chris weitz: i love you! he couldnt have done it any better. even though he did make a couple of changes im not mad at him at all. they worked out in the movie and story and he did not branch off so far that im like "wtf"

taylor lautner: besides his sexy abs that everyone was screaming at when he was on screen he did a prefect job with my jacob. jacob is so important to me in this book and he did a wonderful job portraying his pain and determination.

wolfpack: they are so sexayy.
1. Sam (Chaske): perfect perfect perfect
2. Embry (Bronson): gawd he is hilarious
3. Quil and Embry: hahaha :)
4. Paul: hot stuff.

favorite parts that werent in the book:
when jacob trips at mike. hahaha
"what a marshmellow" lmao. favorite line.

IM WATCHING NEW MOON AGAIN TOMORO! <3

Love #4, Paul was a HOTTIE

i just saw the movie! at 7:00 to 9:22 ish* lol (:
it was completely amazing^and breathtaking!
everything that was in the books was portrayed wonderfully in the movie.
the whole theater was literally fun of fans screaming, reciting, luaghing, and crying!
i have never had this much fun in any other movie, and no wonder it sold out!
the effects were amazing, and the video, and acting, and music just blew me away!
i don't care what these critics think, i think this movie was way better than twilight^
props to the man who made hyper to see the movie once again : CHRIS WEITZ!
i can't wait to see eclipse in june of 2010 ! i truely loved the cliff hanger^ NEW MOON ***** 5 STARS! FAVORITE SCENE WOULD HAVE TO BE BELLA AND JACOB'S BREAKUP :( SO SAD :( BUT I ALSO LIKE ALMOST EVERYTHING ESLE! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN!!!!

yeah. great comment.

I just got back from seeing the movie and I am appaled at how awful Kristen Stewarts acting was. Everyone else did great! But there was absoulutly no emotion from her at all, it seemed like she was bored with the whole thing. I think that she is so tired of everyone trying to force her and Rob into a relationship that she is distancing herself from him through her acting. I didn't feel the chemistry from her in this one like I did in the first one. She was like a drone. What the hell was Chris Weitz thinking, and why for godssake did Stefanie Meyer not say something? Did the director even show up? I would have thought that he would've asked for alot more emotion from an actress, who is supposed to be totally distraught over being left by her everything, I mean god has she ever been dumped? What the hell?!!!!!! I am a pretty big Twilight fan but her preformance sucked.

i know a few people who dislike her acting but i think she did a good job. she did nothing bad at all. Feel lonely and down all the time is really hard for someone. I think depression is really showing no emotion. you have your opinion.

Clearly since you 'think' thats what depresion should be like that you have never experienced it youself (and while i am glad that you have no idea what its like and thats good) but i have suffered from depression for the last 25 years (of 32) and i can tell you that she didn't even come close. the whole movie also looked like a series of movie trailers put together it didn't flow

It was an excellent portrayal of the book. I was very impressed, to say the least!

When the movie started out I thought to myself, "This is it...get ready." Seeing the dream of her grandmother / self portrait, I was also thinking, "Okay it's starting out just like the book." I know a book is always better than the movie, but I felt no emotion or feeling in it. Maybe some of you don't agree but I was kind of disappointed. I know they did try to capture every detail that was supposed to be there and only had 2 or 2 1/2 hours to make it work, but it felt very rushed. I did like the overall colorization and clarity. I could actually see the cullens with there amber bronzy eyes. CW did make the wolves big which I liked especially during the fight seen with Laurent. Victoria looked great and that's exactly how I pictured her. I didn't feel the emotion when edward had to say good bye or when bella saved edward from the sun and then in her bedroom after the trip. I did like the scene where they showed edward calling and hearing the news. I would have liked to see him say the romeo line when he sees bella and thought he was dead. The Volturi looked great especially Aro and how he spoke. I have to admit I liked Michael Sheen and how he portrayed Aro, it was kinda of creepy realistic. Overall the score went well with the movie but again it felt rushed and couldn't get reeled in for some reason. However, I do look forward seeing ks, rp and tl in future movies other than the Twilgiht series.

P.S. When I came home from the movies after the show I watched the next supernatural episode I was crying like a baby. I had no idea Jo and her mom was going to die. Let me tell ya tears running down my face. It was a great but sad episode.

Love it! You have an Angle avi...did the NM review...then switched to Supernatural (mmmmmm Jensen & Jared). Just wish I didn't read the Supernatural part since I haven't seen this week's episode yet :-( oh well

Thanks....sorry about the spoiler. I'm sure you'll like the episode anyway. I love everything mystical and mysterious. Hey have you read any of Christine Feehan's book i hear they are really good especially her dark series. I just ordered the first book in the series called the Dark Prince. She wrote it some time ago since there are 20 so far in the series. Her latest book is the Dark Slayer I think. She has a web site you can see all the books she has written.

Awwww, dude, I started the The Dark Prince, but I had borrowed it from someone and they wanted it back so I only read like maybe the first chapter!!!grrrrr Let me know if it's really good or worth the read!!!

I just saw New Moon and I loved it.

Taylor's acting was off the charts. No one can ever doubt his acting after this movie. Rachelle was awesome. The scene with the wolfpack chasing Victoria through the woods was so good. I loved how CW portrayed the months when Bella is catatonic. It was so well done, the e-mails were a great touch. The wolfpack was awesome. I really loved all the action. The humor was a great. Billy Burke was so funny. I loved seeing Jacob, Quil, and Embry joking around. Bronson was awesome. I loved Chaske before the movie, but I love him so much more now. Michael Sheen was great as Aro.

I AGREE 100 PERCENT BEA.... twilight was its own thing.... LOVE NEW MOON thx chris weitz ur a genious

Great review!! My opinion exactly! This movie was SO enourmosly much better than I had ever anticipated! It followed the book almost as close as one can do. However a bookreader always wants longer scenes but that cannot be done in a movie when you have a lot to fit into it, so that didn’t bother me. I think it’s not possible to compare it to Twilight, because it’s a whole other movie. This was so different and way, way better! First of all it followed the book really close, (which Twilight didn’t), a big LOVE and thanks to Chris Weitz for that. The acting was amazing - Taylor, Kristen and Rob impressed me big time! I loved the wolves! I loved the sparkle! My throat ached with sorrow when Edward kissed Bella outside her house and in which he made Romeo’s quote from class reality. His facial expressions in the movie was flawless! Loved the scene from Rio!! No, Edward was not less gorgeous in NM, he was just as gorgeous - everyone in the movie looked fabulous! My fellow audience (in Sweden) was wonderful. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop but we also laughed at the same places. The movie was heartbreaking but funny at times (in a good way). The ending was mean, but I wonder if it hadn’t been better if Bella had said: “No!” And then “the end” - that would’ve been a lot more intriguing cause now all the guys (that I overheard)thought she was just going to say yes immediately. This was one of the best movies I think I’ve seen and I want, must, WILL see it again soon!!! LOVED IT!!!

Bea I totally agree with you. You can't really get every detail from the book into a movie.

OKAY. i figured out what i feel was bugging me about the movie....this is the only reason i didnt walk out of the theater completely happy.

i liked it but i thought jacob lacked that some sort of "immaturity" that he possesed in the book. Like when he said "Take yourself back. i really hope you dont die bella" then he takes off.....the movie for me made it seem like jacob was completely innoncent....i know bella is selfish but jake KNOWS that and he still pursues her....hes bound to get hurt. for me i missed bellas constant denial to jake in newmoon....he denied him so much in the book but in the movie they were intimate...i dunno...if she denied him more, itd make the scene after the tent scene in eclipse so much greater....esp for jacob because she finally realizes......IMO.

I agree! That kinda ruined Eclipse.. Im so pissed...
And also, all the scenes felt all rushed! They never had a whole scene, it felt like they where cut off all the time. I couldnt keep up!
hope the third one has more depht to it.

OK IM SORRY BUT IM HEARING TOO MANY BAD REVIEWS.... IF STEPHANIE MEYER HERSELF LOVED THE MOVIE, I cant see how anyone else should have a prob... ya we all have diff views of the books but hey she worte the books....
ANYway what more could u want from it it CH had done it with the blue tint and everything else the wolves wouldnt have looked at all real( LOOK AT HOW VICTORIAS HAIR CHANGED because of that.... and all parts of the movie are laden with quotes from the book AND the actors especially kristen,rob,taylor,michael sheen,charlie, everyone perfect i cant see how some ppl find it soooo horrible, if ppl think DS can do better idk well see im excited either wayyy... IDK I LOVED NEW MOON really had the feel of the book..

Can you honestly say that even if there was something Stephenie didn't like after the movie was completed and on its way to editing, would she say something in public?
The Saga is her baby. Of course she would defend every aspect of it regardless some pointers that she might not like or agree with...

Honestly I can not understand why every opinion should be identical. Not everyone likes the same things. It's the same here. We can't all have the same taste in everthing, therefore every opinion should and must be respected no matter how opposite it is from our own...

Doesn't mean that we didn't like the movie... we loved it because of the Saga books and the story itself.

I just think that some of us had higher expectations from the movie and from Weitz.

ElsdE who cares what stephanie meyer thought of the movie we were asked to put up our feelings about the movie just because everyone doesnt agree with you honestly GROW UP everyone will have a different opinion something that should have been included just put your ideas on and stop bagging everyone else

When a movie elicits emotions from you, when it resonates with you so deeply that you can't help but cry, you know that movie speaks volumes.

New Moon, I love you.
Edward, I love you.

Eclipse, please hurry. I will love you too.

AMAZING! And really give Melissa Rosenberg a break people! When will people realize that a movie will NEVER be the exact same as the book?! I think MR and CW are amazing!

my review of new moon, and how thoroughly i was disappointed -> http://www.purple-twinkie.com/rants/new-moon-re...

AMEN TO THAT BDFAN
Chris Weitz is a genious..... period:) yay not that long till eclipse.. think how fast this year went, itll b here b4 we know it ..... i just hope that DS takes the time to make Eclipse just as good:) figners crossed

Just saw it. I think that the vampire contact lenses were distracting and the entire color of the film, well, I prefered the way Twilight has that indie feel. None of the secondary characters had much screen time at all. Italy went by in a flash. Which I get, because of timing/length of film. Taylor was great. Eclipse scenes between Taylor and Kristen will be good as they developed a lot of chemistry in this film.

I thought it was amazing, some writing problems and the score and the certain time they played songs was horrible but still made the movie like 5 out of 5

My y Movie Review For New Moon

Bella: OMG!!!!!!! Kristen did such an amazing job!!! i just knew she would deliver. she found the dark place that she needed to be in , which made me cry. Bella had her sweet moments too like when she was talking to Jacob in her truck right before they almost kissed.the letters to Alice was a nice addition to the movie since that never happened in the book.

Edward: oh Edward. just looking at his face when he went to the Volturi made me wanna cry.Rob is such a good Edward and im soooo glad that he got the part.

Jake: oh man!! Taylor was sooo hot in this movie. he even scared me at times . like in the end of the movie, he just came out of nowhere! and almost got hit by the car!! i really love him when he was at the movies with Mike and Bella. i thought it was funny what Mike said to Jacob and how Jacob just snapped on him. and at the end of the movie when he was begging Bella to say, made me cry.

Jessica: i wished that she would just have shut up when she was talking to Bella!! and on top of that, Bella wasn't really listening to her yap and yap and i couldn't stop laughing at Jess. lol

The Cullens: i have read the book but i just that they would have found a way to add more stuff about them to make it fit in the movie. i really hated that they only had two parts. :( even though that's all that they were supposed to have.)

Jake wolf and Paul wolf: MAN THAT FIGHT WAS INTENSE!!!!!!! IT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS AND MADE ME JUMP A FEW TIMES IN THE SEAT BUT I NEVER DID CLOSE MY EYES!!! :)

Victoria: i wish that they would have shown her in the very end of the movie but i guess it was best not to , just so that fans would wonder what ever happened to her. Victoria was really creepy in the movie but i just loved how she just flew right into the water like that.

Laurent: oh so sad when he died.......NOT!!!!!!!!! that S%#* was hilarious!!!! i couldn't help but laugh when Jake was telling Bella what happened and they were showing it as well!! lol Laurent did his thang tho!!

Alice: too funny! i loved how she jumped over the stairs at school in the beginning of the movie!!

Vampire Bella: after seeing her in Alice's vision as a vampire, i really cant wait to see Breaking Dawn!!!!

Charlie: i wish that he would have yelled at Edward in the Movie where we could have seen it. Billy is the perfect Charlie and he was soo said and stressed out every night that Bella work up screaming. i really felt sorry for him.

Volturi: although Aro was the only one to have the most lines, i really found him terrifying. he scared the S$&# outta me when Bella said "Kill Me!!". and her went right towards her. i thought he look creepy right there.!

Jake and Edward Battle: "Get the hell outta my head" lmfao!!! freaking love Jake. oh poor Bella, stuck in between the two." don't make me choose.....its him...its always been him" poor Jake has gotten his feelings hurt too many times...(ill make you feel better Jake)

Conclusion:
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVE!! IT WAS FUNNY, HEARTBREAKING, EMOTIONAL AND MORE. NEW MOON IS VERY CAPTIVATING AND LEAVES YOU CRAVING FOR MORE vampires and wolves. although i didn't get to see some of the scenes that i want to see such as when Charlie was talking to Alice and the fact that it seemed like the movie was a tad bit rushed at the end , i was very happy that they used a lot of lines from the book in the movie. Jake and Bella's relationship look really real and i was glad that Taylor and Kristen really made that connection. i really cant wait to see this movie again tomorrow and or Sunday.... and if i had to rate it, it would be 10+ out of 10 !!!

Can I say OMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the movie twice today back to back n Im glad that I did. I was going to see it for a third time but i had to leave. But believe me i will be seeing it again.

Chris Weitz you did a great job directing n making sure the movie stayed true to the book. It was unbelieveable how much of the book was in the movie. I hope it will be the same for Eclipse n Breaking Dawn. Really hoping Breaking Dawn will be jus lik the book jus lik New Moon Was lik the book.

All the actors...... WOW, AMAZING, GREAT JOB, I believed every word n feeling that was put into this movie. I believe this movie will break any records that was made this year, last year, shyt any year in the past in the BOX OFFICE. I spent my whole day at the theater today was there at 12:00 am for the first showing. Then went home because the theater had to close for the night. But I was right back when the theater opened the doors for the 11:15 am showing then i saw the 4:35 pm showing. And i didnt jus pay for one ticket and stay and watch two movies. I bought a ticket for all the showings that i saw. When the 4:35 showing was over i was debating about staying to watvh another one. But I had to go home to get ready for work. But if i didnt have to work, I would not be posting this comment right now I would be in my seat at the top in the middle seat of the row watching NEW MOON. This is a movie I have to get when it comes out on DVD. N I will do the same thing I did when TWLIGHT came out. Watch it over n over n over until i kno every word n every single thing that was not in the book n wat was in.

I hope that Summit puts a rush on the production on making this movie a DVD because it is going to be a HIGHLY WANTED DVD of the YEAR!!!!!!

To the Actors, the Director, the editing team, the Autor of the Twilight Saga STEPHENIE MEYER, and everyone that played an extra THANK YOU For making this day the happest day of my life so far. And thats from the heart.

I live my life through my books and movies. And to see one of the best Book SAGA's as a movie makes my life worth living. *Crying NOW*
I hope that one day my own life is filled swith so much love, excitement, and fear that i can start reading book for jus fun and not to jus fill a hole in my life.

So THANKS to all that put in heart, sweat, and tears for this book to become a movie.

I'm am so thankful that New Moon is finally out...caught the midnight showing, and was so thankful I got 'em early! My absolute favorite part is in Volterra when Bella runs into Edward in an "attempt" to push him out of the sunlight and he says, as he feels her in his arms, "Heaven". Oh my God, I melted!
Considering I'm a Team Edward member, I must say Jacob was a-maz-ing! Everyone did a terrific job and portrayed the characters exceptionally! I felt Bella and Edward's pain in the break up scene and her depression as the months passed. I was happy with her friendship with Jacob and even hungered for a real kiss between them even--surprisingly enough. Two hours flew by...and I couldn't pull my eyes off the screen for a fraction of a second. Pure joy these books and movies are!!! I think we need to petition Stephenie Meyer to continue with Midnight Sun and the entire saga with their happily ever after and even touch more on the other characters...she'd make a killing!!!

I was teary for a majority of the movie, but when I heard Edward say "Heaven" I completely crumbled. I fell to pieces. I could not control myself. It was so beautiful and sad and romantic all in one. Perfection.

Overall I likes the movie. However like usual the movie fails in comparison to the book. I didn't love that some scenes were jumbled or out of order from that of the book. I loved the soundtrack, but think they should have added a couple more of the better songs that I didn't hear. The score was def not as good as Carter's and I will probably cancel my pre-order. The makeup and clothes looked so much better than the last. Overall not bad until I got to the final scene!!! Could not believe that they totally ruined one of the most important parts for the book series. I can't believe they rushed the wedding proposal and it was totally wrong. It doesn't even happen until near the end of Eclipse and furthermore they skipped the whole back and forth dialogue that Edward and Bella had regarding marriage. I think this is one thing that they should have kept true to the book. I also hate that she was already so open with Jake about him having no chance...I don't know how this will effect the relationship that they have in Eclipse, since the love triage in the third book may be my most favorite part of the whole series. The added fight scene I can handle, but to mess with something so huge totally ruined it for me.

Sorry, but Edward DOES issue his marriage condition to Bella at the end of New Moon.. when he first asks for five years, then three -- then says "Marry me first". If you have the book, look for it in the "The Vote" chapter. It's exactly as it was in the book, up until that point.

Of course, in the book, Bella says "Okay. What's the punch line?" ... and in the movie, obviously, she gasps and the credits roll. LOL

Ngriff, I think the scene you're thinking about is in Eclipse when Bella finally ACCEPTS his condition and he takes advantage of that to do the ring/knee formal proposal.

He doesn't officially propose but after the voting scene for the book I think Bella says she wants Edward to change her and he says something like, "marry me first". He doesn't actually get down on one knee with a ring, but he brings it up because she is pressuring him to turn her into a vampire. I remember people talking about how they wanted the proposal to be in the movie because it was in the book. However, I thought that whole scene at the end in the woods was really rushed. I didn't like that it cut off right after that, but I guess its supposed to cause anticipating for those who haven't read the books.

It was awesome i went yesterday atmidight 3 theaters whee full the other theates karmart and brodway whre full to! i wasat hollywood it was awesome i ove every single part where alice comes in shes so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Discus is being stupid (is this just me? had the problem on 2 different computers - it won't let me reply to some comments)

So, this is a reply to

Ivy_Pattinson Team Happy Trail:

"Okay I'll be the first one to say it.
What the hale is wrong with these greyfaces? It's like a greyface army taking over nmm and talking in gibberish. CH for Breaking Dawn? Twilight better than New Moon? I'm done reading gibberish, going back to Twitter."

Very good point - and as usual, I have a theory. I believe the sudden appearance of the 'greyfaces' showing up right after the NM release and rooting for a return of Catherine Hardwicke is in fact.....

Catherine Hardwicke!! Or her minions shamelessly trying to sway the Twihards into begging for her to return for Breaking Dawn. I have this to say - GO AWAY CATHERINE!! We are forever grateful for bringing TL to the big screen, only b/c you opened the door for the rest of the saga, and also to your wonderful casting. You've had your time, now move on. Your hippie style kinda worked for TL, although you missed on several points, but you cannot handle the complexity of Breaking Dawn!!

Stand up all TwiHards and fight back this CH in disguise!!

me review on this movie: Very CAPTIVATING AND LOVELY

JACOB (JAKE):

Well im a twi guy i guess haha ive read all the books a few times my GF got me intto them cause ive always loved books but for new moon.... WOOOOW it was soooooooo good so much better than twilight, but i know i like twilight for what it was... i think Chris Weitz captured the book perfectly the beiging is the coolest sh*t with the moon and the quote from shakespeare uhh perfect..... i knew it would do really good at the box office my theater was completley sold out....i bet itll make sooo much after the weekend. 1 word for NEW MOON AWESOME:) AND I LOVEED the scence that alice showed ARO, Bella looked so cool for that second...i thought it was cool not cheesy at all..... NEW MOON= perfect

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP !!!

Can someone please tell me how the movie ends??? please!!!!!!!!! im dying here!!!

If you want to know exactly what happens at the end, continue reading. But, if you don't, STOP READING RIGHT NOW.


**SPOILERS**
Jake appears out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road as Bella and Edward are driving. Edward tells Bella that Jake wants to talk, so they both get out of the car and follow him into the woods. When they meet up with him, Jake tells Edward to remember what the treaty states about biting a human. Bella tells him that it doesn't matter if it was her decision and Jake begins to tell her that she won't let her become one of them. More dialogue continues between them about it and then Bella says to Jake "I love you. So don't make me choose, because it will be him. It's always been him." Jake looks to be on the verge of tears at this point. Then Edward tells Bella that they should go and Jake gets mad at Edward for "forcing" her to leave. Edward slaps Jake off of him, causing him to turn into a wolf. Bella steps in the middle of them and says that they can't hurt each other without hurting her. (There may be some more dialogue here, but I can't quite remember) Then, Jake, still in his wolf form, gives a hurt look to Bella and runs off. Then Bella feels bad and she begins to talk to Edward about the treaty and they talk about how much longer she has to wait. Then, the big moment occurs...
Edward says that he will turn her himself if.. (long dramatic pause here in the movie) he marries her. Then we see Bella's shocked reaction and the movie ends.
**SPOILER FINISHED**

The ending was truly fantastic. I know some may feel it was rushed, but I loved how it ended with that question.. It left us wanting more. I'm sorry if some of this was out of order, it came straight from memory. If you haven't seen the movie, go right now. It was absolutely amazing, Twilight was nothing compared to it.

He pops the question!

oh well drat. I hope Bella dosent make the nasty face she did in the book when edward proposes to her.

.... she did..... lol

he proposes then the screen goes black before Bella can answer. a lot of people disagree with me but i loved how it ended!!!!!!!!!

ok...I'm a guy, and I've watched Twilight,and after watching it,and after my friend (twilight freak) gave me the book, I was fascinated with it!
but I never imaginade that my vision of the New Moon book will be on the big screen!!!!!
For me it was literally watching the book!!!!!

Kirsten was awsome!!!! she rocks!!!!
and the werewolfs!!!! OMFG!!!!!
and the Volturi coven....JANE!!!! SCARY LITTLE BI***!!!!
the only thing that I hate about the movie were the little girls! ok,Jacob and Edward are good looking,bla bla...but let me enjoy in this MASTERPIECE!!!!

C. WEITZ FOR BREAKING DAWN!!!!! =)

okay here it is
1. The cast is a amazing. Kristen is talented and amazing. Robert was everything I hoped he would be. Taylor.........well Taylor was hot. I just wish he took his shirt off more often. Um ...anyway he was also brilliant and was the best Jacob out there.Dakota as much as I hate Jane you go girl. she was geat at being evil glad i could see that side of her. Aro.....DID YOU HEAR HIS LAUGH AFTER JANE TRIED TORTURING BELLA??? Hilarious I could not help but laugh with him. Marcus and Caius you guys didn't say a lot but a loved the little that you said. Cullens ..... loved you so much. Jasper was especially humorous......"I vote yes, It will be a relief to not want to kill you" aw Jazz. Alice.... way to go Ashley the vamp v.s. wolf thing i totally felt that. Esme. Rosalie, Carlisle, Emmett love ya!!! Rachelle you were outstanding and there is no way you can be replaced that was one hell of a performance you go chick.

2. The director.............CHRIS WEITZ ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THAT I LOVE YOU AND I THINK THE WHOLE TWI-UNIVERSE LOVES YOU TO. COME BACK FOR BD I BEG OF YOU. YOU ARE AWESOME AND YOU SHOULD FEEL A BIT SMUG. THE TWI-UNIVERSE THANKS YOU.

3. The Wolfpack you guys looked so good with your shirts off. enough said

4. The Humor this one was funnier than the first. it felt good to laugh every once in a while during this dark time in Bells life.

5. THE ENDING........"MARRY ME".........UM..... WHAT....WAIT....REWIND.....I CAN'T WAIT 221 DAYS TO WATCH THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION I KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT STILL.

6. as predicted by me and many others NEW MOON was amazing and i cried when Edward left.

P.S. I loved the effect of the moon fading into the words New Moon at the beginning that was pretty cool. and when Paul apologized to Bella and Bella and her e-mails to Alice and i loved the community we formed in the theater we laughed together cried together and hooted like wolves when Taylor took his shirt of seeing it again without a doubt

ohmygod.
it was amazing xD
best film of the year, they did an amazing job tbh(L)

Oh, and the Volturi. They were AH-MAZING! Specially Aro! His laugh! BAHAH.

I saw this movie on Wednesday, luckily.

I think it was awesome-tastic. It was quick, romantic, and... awesome? Haha...

Chris Weitz did an AWESOME job, seriously, every five seconds I would get goose bumps...

Yes, I'm a straight guy that likes Twilight.

And the ending scene! OH THE ENDING SCENE!

The scenes I enjoyed the most were definitely Victoria's. Seriously, I love Victoria. Her SUPER red hair, her backflips... everything!

Too bad she's getting replaced... :|

Stupid Bryce.

But I didn't like the scene in which Bella is being rescued by Sam. She didn't say 'He's gone' at any moment!

Another thing I didn't like was the wolf-pack's body (except for Jake and Paul's). They're so fat!

Anyways, I loved it!

Omigod, its NOT even funny how amazing this movie was.

first off, at LEAST 10x bettter than new moon by far.
the grandma dream sequence blew my mind, the edward/bella in the beginning was AMAZING AND LOVING and was ...... wow.

the breakup scene, amazing, and off to the reunion scene in volterra.

That kiss. Was HOTTTTT. i could go on and on. everyone gave stellar performances, but billy burke, YOU F*CKING OWNED IN THIS MOVIE! definetly amazing.

sry to butt in here... but so nice to see a familiar face around here today.... lol.
and i agree!!! billy burke was AWESOME!!!!!

I loved the break up scene and Volterra scenes too.

But I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the wolf scenes. What'd you think of them?

Surprisingly, i did like the wolf scenes a lot :) It was such a relief to finally see the entire scene where bella confronts the wolf guys. And the victoria chasing scene was amazing!!

Oh, and amen to your name. MR's a little failure ;-D

I actually thought Taylor and Kristen had amazing chemistry. I don't know what people were complaining about. I wanna see the film again because of them.

I thought it was truly fantastic how well they both did in this. Made MR's script be ten times better. Gosh, they are both so talented. Kristen blew me away in this, I love her so much! :)

Hey you home? Do you have cable? Rob's about to be on Ellen on channel 10.

No way! Really?! All right, great! It isn't on NBC?

No that was earlier today. Are you watching??

The only thing I was really disappointed in was the score. I thought it was too fairy princessy type. Carter Burwell did a much better job in capturing the seriousness. I thought New Moon's score could have been from any other film, so I probably won't be buying this one.
Other than that, I don't really have any complaints. Oh except, I can't stand Taylor's nose, that's all I can look at when I see him! Call me crazy, but oh well!

New moon was definetly better than twilight. Chris did an amazing job with the special effects and CGI. The wolves looked really realistic and the vampires sparkles looked really nice. I liked the little bits of humor that weren't too heavy but were still funny.("Dating an older woman, Hot. -Emmett) Jasper also didnt seem so intimidating as he did in Twilight. The voice-overs of Bella writing to Alice were nice, giving us an inside look into what bella was thinking without having to know the book cover to cover.

The few small complaints that i have are very small and not very big compared to the positives. I didnt like that Jane only had a couple very small lines, cause she's my favorite character in the volturi. Also in the dream sequence, you couldn't tell that Bella was a vampire until she sparkled. Lastly, EDWARD'S VOLVO IS SILVER NOT BLACK!!!!!!!

overall it was amazing, i loved it. probably gonna see it another couple times :)

Right... I just got back from the cinema...

My feelings are all mixed up and I dont know where to start...

Overall - Really good!

Bella - Amazing performance. Well done Kristen! So much better than Twilight. Perfect.

Edward - Not as good as I expected. Stiff in places and I didnt like the make up much, but I guess it was more down to the script, I just didnt get the exiting feeling with his scenes, some of them were very cheesy, a bit over the top...still love him though!

Jacob - Wow! Taylor totaly nailed it! He stole the movie. Funny, cute, sad, great acting... He made my heart go mad ;-) ... and the body of course - nice! :-D

The wolfs - Great, really great! Sam was exellent and the other boys fit their parts perfectly.

Charlie - love him.

Mike - So funny! Good job!

Jessica - Annoying! Well done.

Eric - Loved the crying scene while watching Romeo and Juliet.

Laurent - Much better. Scary...

Victoria - Good scenes, love the running scene through the forest and the music.

The Volturi - How creepy Aro is??? Loved him! Jane was very scary too.

The Cullens - not enough of them, Alice and Jasper were the best I think.

CGI - Amazing! Wow! The wolfs were awsome!

I really had a great time! The audience was funny, like lots of girls screaming, not too much though, phew ;-)
When Edward appeared with his cheesy slow motion walk, everyone was like 'Oh my god!'
And when Jake took his shirt off there were many screams and whistles ;-)
There was lots of laughing with Jake, Mike...
Many funny scenes through the movie, which was cute.
The best one though, Alice's vision of Edward and Bella running as vampires - everybody burst laughing! Too cheesy ;-)
But I really enjoyed it. The music was exellent. The scenery was beautiful! So well done to Chris Weitz!
It is really Jacob's time to shine and he certainly does!!!

I loved this movie..

Music.... I liked how Hearing Damage was like the Supermassive black hole of new moon.. it really brought something to the scene...

Rob.... The kissing was so painful to watch he really showed the pain it causes him.. i felt that he played a completely different Edward in this movie.. so much better.. but he did come across abit cocky... but i love that guy he can do no wrong in my eyes...

Okay okay here goes.
I loved new moon BUT I wish some things were included. Particularly about Jacob.

Jacob black breaks my heart, I had a heavy heart wen I left the theater but I just wish they showed jakes pushiness with Bella a bit more. The Jacob I remember from New moon was a bit immature and was constantly trying to make "advancements" (for lack of a better word) with Bella and she pushed them away. Yes Bella knew what she was doing, and it was very shellfish but Jake also knew what she was doing but he still chose to pursue Bella even if it caused him pain. I wish it showed that. I feel like in the movie they put it all on Bella, that none of it was jakes fault. Like I wish they kept the line where Jake told Bella “take yourself back! Bye Bella I really hope you don’t die” or when he brought the bikes over to get Bella in trouble…..Being on team Edward (I lovvvvvvve the wolf pack and Jake don't get me wrong bt to me Bella must be with Edward) it was for me to see Jake and Bella so close, im expecting it in eclipse but it seemed like a lil too much for new moon….idk?

Also ahhh for some reason I didn't like the score with the scenes....it seemed off to me but some of the soundtrack songs were placed great. My favorite was the scene where “hearing damage” played. That was prob my favorite part in the whole movie. So much going on and the song fit amazing! At the same time I feel some songs were just put in for no real reason. They fade in and right back out on the radio… a lil pointless IMO. Ohhh and during the underwater scene I wish they played a different part of “slow life”.

Ohh and I wish that when Bella was running to Edward in Italy, she called out to him and was drowned out by the bells of the clock tower but that didn't happen... this is an instant where I didn't like the score.

Kristen was amazing. This was BELLAs movie (as it should be) not jakes, not Edwards. She held the movie and 3 parts of her dialogue got me. 1. When she's reunited w/ Edward, telling him that she could leave him now 2. When she's begging aro to kill her instead of Edward and 3. Her talk with Jake at the end.

I loved this movie the beginning was wonderful! Haah I also liked Jake getting mad at the movie theater and when Bella pulled her hand away when he tried to hold it (upset this was the only time she clearly set up a boundary line....too bad it was completely crossed within the next lines)

I loved Paul’s brief "sorry" to Bella! Hahaa!


so basically, i loved it... just wish they showed more of jakes immature and angry side....idunno....i cant wait to see it again

ALSO! you guys ui had the best night ever,
so my friends and i decided to go watch newmoon at the new regal live theater in downtown los angeles because all of thier rooms have digital projection which adds up to look like HD!!! so we ended up gettin tickets for the Primere house which holds 806 people, has a 77 foot wide screen and had concert surround sound! it took TWO HUGE projectors to projector the image! anways. after school we took an hour ride on the city bus to LA and got there at around so we were first in line. as a prize the manager gave us these buttons that were pretty awesome.....but as we sat the newspaper photographer came by and asked us what time we got there and asked to have lik a mini photoshoot with us! it was pretty cool but then later on a man showed up with a camera that said lopez tonight on it and he came up to us and asked if we were team jake fans and we were like "ehhh....we like jake but were pretty much team edward"and was like well do yo like taylor? and we were like of course! so then he asked if we would like tickets to go see him next week in the lopez tonight show!!!!! of course we said yes! so next wednesday were going to the live taping of the show and i guess its going to be somewhat deicated to twilight because taylors goin to be there and all.....so at this point we were beyond happy but then all of a sudden a go kart pulled up next to us and i saw george lopez and we all just kind of stared so as he was walking in he stopped at the door and turned to us and says :" ay dont u recognize taylor lautner when you see him?!!" and shook his butt! it was hiarious....so in the theater he was taping interviews for the show with fans and then when he came out! he interviewed me and 3 of my friends!! he even asked my friend to sing her orginal twilight songs! it was crazyyyyy. we had to sign a bunch of release forms so we might be on the show!!! this was all before 11 oclock too!! once inside the theater george happened to pop in AGAIN to perform another skit and asked us to participate....ahhh it was an amazing night. LOL i cant wait to see if we get on the show....my guy friend was acting a little crazy because when george asked which character he would like to be my friend answered...."welll jacob of course....cause i look like him! " hahah which is hilarious because my friend is a BIGGG guy. george cracked up and told him if that was true he had to lift his shirt! and HE DID. it was ridiculous! if that makes it on the show i will just DIE.

OHH, i was also interviewd by E! after george left. i was nervous lol im not one for camera!!

anways.i just thought id share my experience at the theater! it pays to go early!

what an awesome night...congrats!!

OMG. I saw it last night at 9 and I'm still blown away. It was so well done. The timing was consistent and well played, the songs messed perfectly with the scenes and they stuck to the book amazingly. THE END! OMG! That cliffy was a killer, but its so perfect! Victoria looked awesome, and I love how they connected the whole Harry having a heartattack with that scene. absolutely stupendous! Lets see what else... OH! I love how they had Bella's inner monologues as those letters to Alice! It really shows how close she felt to the Cullens. Jasper was much better, love the southern accent! Emmett was also amazing as always! Niki did an excellent job with delivering her fateful "I wish there had been somewhere there to vote no for me..". Volturi=creepy! Aro was like perfect!

Ya, so much more to say but its all pretty much been said. Can't wait to see it again!!!!

I just loved it far, far too much. I saw it at midnight, got 3 hours sleep, went to school, and then power-walked home so that I could get to the cinema to see it a second time.

I think that I should just c&p every thing that everyone has said was great about the film.
I loved the start - the tension with the moon. I was seriously resisting the urge to scream.
It was alot more fun to go see at midnight, because everyone there was pretty much a twi-hard, and there was gasps and sobs and laughter. When Jake took his shirt off, there was a group sigh of absolute content. And no, there was no fangirls screams
. There were so many one liners and charlie's flashback 'always am' comment really made me giggle. Oh, and Jasper when he starts to say happy birthday to bella, and then senses her feeling and just stops. And when in the bike-fixing montage, bella puts her hand on the bike, trying to help, and Jake just lifts it up and puts it to her side. And again when Mike came out of the bathroom after puking and he's like 'yeah... I need to go home.' and Jake and Bella just stare at him, and he's like 'what? I felt sick BEFORE the film'. When Alice jumps over the bannister at school. When Edward says that it's his job to protect Bella from everyone... except Alice. Charlie saying that the camera didn't technically count as a gift. 'I'm Quil Ateara.' pahahaha, I just creased. Emmet's voting hug. 'I doubted you would be apposed to grand theft auto' 'no, not today.' LOL. 'I'll be back... as soon as you let the dog out.' *grin*
It might just be me - I laugh at everything - but I thought that this film was pretty hilarious at points, yet still captures the whole intense pain of Bella.
Did anyone else think Aro was reeaaallllly creepy? Michael Sheen was absolutely perfect, and Dakota as Jane, just... wow. Victoria was immense - this catlike woman, totally feral, wild and aggressive yet still so beautiful. Rachelle is the Perfect Victoria, and I have to say, I'm super disappointed that she won't be playing her in New Moon.
I have to admit I was a little dissappointed in the soundtrack. I've had it on my ipod since the end of october, but forbade myself from listening to it. The reason I liked twilight's soundtrack so much, was because certain songs really popped out at me. For example; Full Moon. I really loved that song when I first ever saw the film, and I was like 'oh, that's cool, I totally want to listen to that.' and the same with Spotlight.
I honestly didn't really notice any of the songs in new moon. I think the only two that I did was the one that was playing during the passing of time scene, and the Victoria chase (bless Harry Clearwater, he must have been so scared!).
The score was a bit cheesy. When Paul and Jacob are fighting - the first time Bella finds out what Jake is - I couldn't really take it seriously. I was just thinking 'hah! that music is like off some corny film.' And, no, New moon does not count as a corny film.
Did anyone else cry whenever they heard Bella's nightmare-screams? I was just thinking 'oh my god, I can totally feel her pain.' and charlies pain at having to deal with this.
I was disappointed that Edwards comet explanation thing didn't get included in the film. I think that described perfectly what had gone on in his life, but they didn't put it in.
I had so much more to say, but I forgot it as I wrote, and I'll probably be coming back after I've seen it again (tomorrow, hopefully) and updating my comment, because I'm going to take notes next time.
I hate the way I love Jake in New moon. I'm die-hard Team Edward, but Jake is so nice to Bella before he turns into a werewolf, and makes her whole again (not enough reference to him being her personal sun). I hated him again when he told her to go away, but then I started to feel sorry for him when Alice and Bella left to go get Edward. I'll have to re-read eclipse so that I can not like him again.
Edward and the Cullens in General look so much more vampirish. They are so pale and dead looking. Especially Rosalie and Jasper.
Oh, I just listened to Alexandre Desplat's 'The meadow.' It's so beautiful :')

I'm really sorry if half of this doesn't make sense, but I've literally had less than ten hours sleep in the last two days. I'm slightly delirious.

WOW, RedEyes, I really liked your review! I have to say too, that none of the music really jumped out at me either. That's my only real disappointment so far. The music in Twilight really grabbed me instantly. But I'm thinking that as I watch it more, maybe it will connect more? I loved Charlies line too, "always am." And I thought Aro was creepy too. Well done. Actually, the music at this point did strike me. It set the mood, I thought. And I like how you describe the love-hate of Jacob. I'm right there with you. Love Jacob. Just love Edward more!

the movie was amazing, it captured the true essence of the book perfectly.. CW did an awesome job, and i to agree with some other people on here i wish he could re do twilight.. i loved twilight the movie but it in no way compared to twilight the book.. kristen is such a good actress, her performance really touched me.. i really hope CW directs breaking dawn!

Okay, I've been thinking of this movie since I left the theater last night. I needed to ponder on this. When I left my seat last night, I honestly couldn't tell my husband what I thought of it. He asked me and I couldn't give an answer. I needed to think about it because I was so bewildered.

And my opinion so far is this: I really did like 85% of this movie. I truly did. You'll see that my likes greatly outnumber my dislikes. Most of what was shown was 100% true to the book; however, because it was so "100%", the flow was inconsistent. They packed so many little scenes in there that were 5-10 minutes and there wasn't enough time for the most important ones that needed more detail. The transitioning was just plain sloppy.

Likes:

--Taylor, Kristen, and Rob. Taylor owned this movie. He could have worn a shirt the whole time, I don't care!! His acting was superb!! Kudos to Kristen for portraying how much Bella really grew. Robert, Robert, Robert. What can I say? Standing ovation, hands down.

--Chemistry. No surprise at all. In the few scenes we get of E & B together, I really feel the love. And thank you to CW, for giving us the kisses we needed to see in Twlight.

--Edward reciting Romeo's lines in class. All I can say is wow. I was blown away.

--Birthday party. When Edward pushes Bella into the table, it showed really how hard she was pushed. And I thought that was important to show his strength compared to the average human and how much danger she could be in.

--Jasper losing it. I was super impressed by Jackson. He did awesome in this scene. And yay to his abilities finally being shown.

-- The breakup. When Rob says "I don't want you" even I believe it, because he delivered it so well.

--Post breakup depression. Watching her in front of her window over the months was painful. When she is sitting at the Cullen's empty table, that was, wow. My stomach did a somersault.

--Charlie and Bella's father/daughter bond. Charlie was great and he again stole the show in many scenes.

--Jacob and Bella. Their scenes were great. I loved their age game. I really wanted that to be in the movie and it didn't disappoint. Their banter was so adorable. And Jacob was so sexy giving her the motorcycle instructions!! And when he gives her that really long hug, my heart strings were tugged. You see that he cares about her more than anything.

--Jacob and Paul's wolf fight. Awesome as hale!! And I loved when Paul says "sorry" at Emily's house when it's over.

--The wolves and Laurent. Wicked cool! When the wolves step out into the clearing... woowee, it was tense!

--Cliff diving/Victoria. This was excuted beautifully too. The only beef I have with the cliff diving scene is that Jake doesn't carry her. He helps her up, and lets her walk. I mean, the girl did hit her head underwater. It didn't seem Jacob-like.

--The Jacob and Bella "almost" kiss. I ALMOST wanted her to!! That's how good it was! And then seeing Edward crushing his phone like an aluminum can. Heartbreaking :(

--The Volturi. Two words. Bad-a$$.


What I didn't like:

From about the point of Alice's return to the end is where my issues lie.

--The mashing of Italy, the reuinion, the vote, and the treaty reminder into 10-15 minutes. And if I'm wrong about the time, it sure felt like 10 minutes. HUGE MISTAKE. Not one single fan would have minded to sit there about 10 or so minutes more to see the reunion they should have gotten. Oh, MR. How could you!!!! Seriously, maybe Summit should just take her off the payroll like Milton in hopes she'll disappear.

--Cheesy dialogue. For example, "You give me everything just by breathing." Wooh, in school? That was awkward. MR should have saved lines like that for the bedroom scene at the end. And why was Bella talking back to Edward's very first apparition, in front of people? Weird. And Mike's comment about protein. That was just odd.

What I missed:

--Bella muttering "he's gone" in Sam's arms. That was heartbreaking and there was plenty of time for it.

--Bella finding her birthday gifts missing. There wasn't even a point in showing Edward picking up her photo if the audience never sees that she found out he'd taken it. It made sense to the book fans but it needed to be shown.

--Charlie letting Edward "have it" when they got back home. Where was Edward carrying her to the door and Charlie saying "How dare you show your face here!!" or "Get your hands off of her!!" That was so important!! I even thought it would be there because there was a still of Alice and Edward by the car and Charlie by the door.

I am indifferent about the undeliverable emails to Alice. It worked because it gave us a glimpse of her pain. But, I don't see Bella attempting it.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Plus my fingers are getting cold from typing.

i completely agree! New Moon exceded all my expectations, visually stunning in every aspect. the ending was wayy too rushed; alice calling jasper from the plane, jacob bringing bellas motorcycle to her house, charlie calling out to her while she is in the forest with jacob/edward....pretty much everything was rushed through from the time she left her hous to go to volterra =( i would have lovedddd for those scenes to be as detailed as they were in the book.
none the less, still a fantastic movie, cant wait to see it at least 5 more times!!
7 months till eclipse <3!!

Visually stunning is right! It was absolutely gorgeous! And I hope people didn't take my comments as being harsh. The movie was really fantastic. I was just trying to be as constructive as I could :) And I hear you, I plan to sneak out tomorrow to see it again!!

I think that Rob, Taylor, and Kristen gave us the best possible movie they could and I love them for that. I hope they get a break before Eclipse promos. They deserve it.

mary83, we are all die-hard fans so of course were gonna wonder about scenes that were missing from the book. i found ur review very helpful, u have as much compassion for the series as the rest of us! considering the movie was already over 2 hrs i can kind of understand why it was rushed. some scenes in the 1st half just could not be shortened at all esp with the concentration of bellas anguish to show her pain =( all in all in was fantastic! they are all amazing actors who dont get enough credit because they are in twilight (lame critics) after seeing the trailer for REMEMBER ME you realize how versatile robert pattinson is. thank god we have remember me & valentines day to help pass the times till eclipse! 3 cheers for NM & CW!! <3 <3

Mary83 I felt the exact same way when I made it home from the theater and my boyfriend kept asking what you think? I was kind of blank and I couldn't form an opinion at the time. I think its because this film was COMPLETELY different from Twilight and we was kind of stunned. Well, that's how I felt.

Yeah, and I loved when Paul just simply said "sorry" to Bella after acting like a savage outside. That was cute.

I'm glad it wasn't just me! I think my husband was waiting for me to be raving about it like a crazy person, but I had to sleep on this one.

Ok so I've seen the movie twice already in the past 24 hours and this may sound weird, but im very upset that the whole "vote" scene was done with them standing up..and not sitting around the dining room table...i wanted to see Edward go into the other room and break something!!!!!! grrrr ...and yes I would have loved to see Charlie yell at Edward, and see Edward deliver the line that he would get on his knees and beg as well, I agree the ending was rushed butttt beggers cant be choosers I guess =)

Ok..just got back from watching new moon.
omg.what can i say..its everything that i imagined and more!!

The opening new moon=Loved it!
The dream=Perfect
Charlie=I want him as a day
Bella Swan=I cryed for her :( so sad :(

Edward=hot-omg the phone(i cryed)
Robert=brillant actor
Jacob=felt sorry for him then he was a dick
Taylor=he was unreal!great acting
Alice=what can i say...she was my favorite! jumping over the rails at school,bella writing emails that don't send :L her surprising bella at the front door :L everyone screamed :L:L then saying to bella to put the dog out :L:L:L:L

harry clearwater=funny as hell :L:L


the end= ahhhhhhhhhhh wana see eclipse....marry me....blank..chris weltz name comes up :L:L


loved it :):)

Went to the advanced screening last night, was AMAZING. Before the movie started, they held a contest for who could sing "never think" the best. Some girl did a SPOT ON mumbling impressing of rpattz ;) Then, the PRODUCER OF NEW MOON shows up to make a speech. We had no idea considering we live in Vancouver and nothing really special happens here =( So me and my friend decided to go up to him and asked him about what was going to happen with BD and he told us that they were in the process of planning cities to shoot in (he also said, hopefully back in Vancouver)

Enough pre-movie babbling!!!

What I loved:

-THE CASTING!I think that everyone was casted perfectly for their roles.
-How true to the book it is (lots of the time the lines came directly out of the book)
-The soundtrack. (It fit perfectly with the whole movie)
-KSTEW!!!! she finally got rid of the stuttering
-The flashbacks, it really gave a visual effect of pain and loss
-THE WHOLE PART WHERE BELLA IS IN HER ZOMBIE MONTHS AND WE GET ALL DIZZY BECAUSE THE CAMERA SPINS AROUND AND AROUND. I always wondered how they would portray those months in the movie... i think Chris Weitz did an amazing job doing so
-The e-mails to Alice. It really showed Bella's vulnerability and how she couldn't let go yet she is forbidden to remember.
-WOLVES.WOLVES.wolvessssss
-The cliffhanger at the end (even though we all know what happens next!)

What I didn't like so much:
-Those damn sparkles. I don't think it looks any better than twilight. Atleast he didn't make windchime noises when he sparkled
-Edward's lollipopin red lips! WHY?
-The movie had a not so small town feel. Maybe it's because i live where they filmed and it's just not the same watching it from my perspective?
-The vision Alice shows Aro. WTF?!?! I thought this was supposed to be the FUTURE not the early 1900's
-Don't even get me started on the dissapearance of the silver volvo.

All in all, it was A LOT better than twilight and kudos to chris for taking catherine's place ;)

Ahhhhhh! I SAW IT AND IT WAS AMAZING!

Kristen was mind blowingly good... the nightmares she had actually tore me apart, her screaming like that... i was cringing into my chair. Also i think she and Taylor really got the mood between them perfect. Her relationship with edward was awesome too... you could feel the sexual tension in the entire room. Oh and who looks that good drowning really? She looked very pretty all the way through.

Taylor, you body is absolutely gorgeous, but this isnt what i noticed the most. He acted very well, connected with Kristen well, and so on.

Rob. Damn he does tortured so well. I was in tears because of that man. I love you.

Ashley. HERE i am most pleased... not because i thought she was the best part of the film, but because of how well she emodied alice. She was perfect, and that thing where she jumped over the banister was so cool. I love her.

Volturi - Spot on.
Wolves - Even more spot on. That was some seriously cool diving.

B/J ACTUALLY KISSED! this p!ssed me off. But the Italy kiss soooo made up for that.

Chris Weitz is my actual hero. I dont know how he did it, but the feel he brought to the film was spectacular. The colour pallet was perfect for New Moon, and personally i dont think any scene could have been done any better.

The humour in the film was great. And im gonna come out and say this, Melissa Rosenberg FINALLY you got it! The script, and how it was delivered, had me laughing god knows how many times. I particularly loved Jaspers 2 lines, Alice ("Ill wait till youv put the dog out") (L), and Emmett. I also thought Charlie was pretty hilarious.

It was HOT! It really was. All that Robsten making out. I just stared in awe. I also may have said in the cinema a little too loud "Id so go gay for Kristen Stewart" LOL.

Oh i loved the score... and the soundtrack fit perfectly, i loved how i could sing along in my head to all of the songs played off the soundtrack.

THE SADNESS! I cried multiple time through that film. Bella attacked. Edward leaving. "Edward I love you" in the meadow. Bella having her nightmares. The reunion. All through Bellas depression. Jacob/Bella break up.

I also thought the opening where the moon fades out showing New Moon in letters. I just thought it was a really interesting and beautiful way to open the film.

The last scene was a tease. "Marry me" *Bella shocked face* THE END! But it made me laugh and clap, and cry. There was so much laughing, clapping, crying in that film on behalf of myself and the rest of the audience. I really loved the atmosphere. It was like TWILIGHT LOVERS UNITE!

I realise no one will read this because its so long, but i had to vent :)

i read every word and it was very well said (:

Ditto to everything you said!

After just reading all of the comments down to this point, I feel like the over all consensus is that the sountrack and score are not very much loved. BUT I loved the music in this movie. It moved me so. Go Alex!! Even though, I feel like I am one of a few I just wanted to say how much I loved the music. I will say I did miss Rob's music. His voice was so haunting/longing in the Twilight films; I would have liked to hear it just once in new moon.

Over all I just loved the film. I have already seen it twice, and I am so glad that this site is here so that I can express all of my excitment!! Wahoo!!

New Moon it's just perfect!
I love it.
Can't be better.
Edward Cullen -> "You can not trust in vampires, trust me"

AMAZING! LOVED LOVED! Basically there were a few things lacking for me, and that is a given. These books are so amazing and Kristen, Taylor and Rob do a beautiful job taking these characters on. I wish that after Italy there was more Edward and Bella discussion...I think that part deserved a lot more then what it was given. Enjoyed most of the music...a few moments the music was not fitting. Alice fell flat for me...and that drive to Italy felt kind of awkward and rushed. OTHER then that...I really really enjoyed Jacob and the Wolf Pack...I mean Taylor really stepped it up and I liked his scenes. Our little movie that could is all grown up...all I ask for his more BELLA AND EDWARD I NEED MORE. Ok done.

Oh seeing it tonight for the 3rd time. I know I won't be judged here.

Saw it twice today...Better the second time although loved it both times. Hated the Cougar line...really creepy. Victoria played by Rachelle LeFevre is really scary. This may keep me from seeing Eclipse. Loved the story line, the characters but not the direction. Feel Chris W. missed the mark in his direction...tried to make it a cookie cutter action film. K Stewart is absolutely an amazing actress...really felt her depression. She is fantastic and her performance is Oscar worthy but the Academy is too snobby to give it to her.
Will see it again soon.

Oh my god. New Moon was absolutely amazing. Blew me away.

First off, I was very impressed with Taylor. He was awesome as playing a tough, mean, angry-tempered werewolf. He was very convincing, and I actually felt bad for him in a few scenes. And your body is really hottt :)

Kristen... I'm speechless. That girl hads some SERIOUS talent. Whatever she lacked in Twilight, she completely made up for in NM. Her performance was brilliant, and i give MAD props to her.

Rob, oh Rob. Even though you weren't in it much, your performance was magnificent. The break up scene really convinced me, and if he didn't want ME, and when he was in Italy.. oh god. His expression when he got the phone call killed me. Also when he went to the Volturi. It broke my heart.

Ashley, you rocked as Alice. You did just the right emotions and since Alice is one of my favorite characters, I loved your parts.

Chris, thank you. You stuck so close to the book that it actually freaked me out. You directed this very very well, and brought out the best in these actors. It seemed like a very classic film. romantic, depressing, and action-packed. The CGI wolves were bad-ass. I actually sat all the way back in my seat because i was a little frightened. lol The hallucinations were brilliant, and the cliff dive scene was beautiful. Very well done.

Also, i didn't expect it to be so FUNNY! There were some awesome one-liners, and Eric's expression during Romeo and Juliet cracked me up. Alice and Jacob were also hilarious. It was nice to have some comic relief.

The end was pretty good to me. Not the best, but not the worst either. I liked the comfrontation, but it kind of irritated me when he proposed and then it cut black. But hey, it leaves you wanting Eclipse! :)

Okay, so here I go with the few things I didn't like all too much:

The editiing. I felt as if it was paced awkwardly, some scenes were too long, some were too short. Also towards the end, when Bella came from Volterra to her room, then the Cullens. WTF? I also felt that the build up to Italy was too short. It was supposed to be the most climatic part, and extremely suspenseful. it didn't last very long. And the beginning of the movie felt more like Eclipse, and dragged on pretty long.

Some of the dialog, made me cringe. There were some parts that were extremely cheesy. Sigh, MR, are you ever going to learn? And they forgot the MOONLESS NIGHT monologue! the most romantic thing Edward ever says in the whole series. :'(

Oh, and I felt that they made Jacob seem more innocent and perfect than he really is. He hardly gets a temper with Bella in the movie, and he didn't rat her out on the motorcycles.

But overall, I felt this movie was fantastic. It didn't even feel like a sequel, with the colors and how supierior it was. I felt this movie could stand up all on its own. It had just the right amount of everything, and I am definitely grateful for this movie.

It was INCREDIBLE, and I bow down to you, Chris Weitz. I LOVE YOU.

:)

Overall I enjoyed the movie. It seemed as if it ended too soon:(

However, what I observed was that New Moon lacked what Twilight had which was excellent music, better makeup and costumes for the Cullens. I absolutely love Edward Cullen, but he looked casket ready in New Moon. LOL. Too much LIPSTICK!!! And he looked 37 not 17. The contacts for the Cullens were a little too extreme versus Twilight was too suttle. Their eyes suppose too look warm and golden and not cat like.

But, New Moon definitely had lot more of what Twilight lacked like better performance from the actors (given better direction), great special efx, and stuck closely to the book. My favorite scene was given by the beautiful Rachelle Lafavre. Victoria was a total badas* in that scene:(

I am Team Edward all the way. But I was totally surprised that I actually thought Bella and Jacob looked cute together!!! Yeah, I know it shocked the hell out of me too!! I kinda wanted them to kiss in the kitchen (cant believe I said that).

Also, after everything was settled with the Volturi, everything was completely rushed and all of the sudden Bella was back in bed. If someone have never read the book they would have thought all of it was a bad dream. They should have at least showed the plane for a split second going back to America and Edward trying to carry a knocked out sleep Bella into the house and pissed off Charlie telling Edward to piss off. Also, in the book I liked when Edward said he would get on his knees and beg for her forgiveness if that's what she wanted, but it didnt happend because it was rushed.

Oh, another scene I liked was the dream in the very beginning. That was a very intense and beautiful scene too me and shimmering Edward looked absolutely stunning.

AMAZING!!! It was everything I wanted it to be. Everything looked so much better. Did miss a few things though.. like the waiting room in italy and the plane ride back. Totally shocked by the end. It was very surprising but I wished it had ended with Bella's reaction to the proposal.
I really wish that Rachelle LeFevre was playing Victoria in Eclipse, she IS Victoria (the hair alone does it already), I really don't like BDH.
CW for BD!!!!!!!

That cougar line, though..the worst.

Ok People... I just got back from seeing it for the 2nd time! (Yay me!!)
New Moon was my favorite book and I was really looking forward to seeing it. And all I have to say is that it did NOT dissapoint!

Obviously no adaptation is going to be perfect and there is no way that any director can satisfy the individual needs of millions of fans who each have their own favorite parts and interpretations. Overall, I think it was amazingly well done.

Taylor totally won me over and Kristen solidified herself in my mind as one of the greatest actors of her generation. Rob of course was great and I love, love, loved Ashley and Anna!!!

To me the movies serve as a quick fix when I don't have the time to lose myself in the books. And as such I will enjoy it again and again and again.

SM said how happy she was with Chris and this movie... and if it's good enough for her then it's certainly good enough for me!

the movie was surpassing my imaginations.It's the best sequel movie and it's worthy to the book.and Rob was.well the most-->(here you can think all of the nice and positive, good human characteristics because these characteristics are all of a piece with Rob consequently I have no words.I luv the movie!!!

funny bits from the film:
1/ cinema (bella jake and mike) MARSHMELLOW!! lol
2/ jasper so so funny!! when he controls bellas emotions on her birthday at the school so she will agree with alice!
3/ when eric was crying at romeo and juliet HILARIOUS!!
4/ quil !!! when bella first meets him.. im quilterra!!! hahaha!!

Oh my God I just loved the movie! This totally beat Twilight's ass, so much more true to the book. I was on the midnight premier here in Finland. Rob was great and I'm just obsessed even more, he did great, as I knew he would. I was quite nervous about how Taylor would do but after all he did good. My friends almost change to Team Jacob 'cause of his muscles but that didn't appeal to me that much, I'm still defenatively Team Edward, maybe even more so now! I didn't mind most of the changes, I thought I wouldn't like the fighting with the Volturi but it really made their power more real. I think the wolfpack didn't seem real... When they were at Emily's, I didn't feel the brotherhood nor the love and commitment they ought to have. Nor did I feel the love the book described between Emily and Sam, they seemed ordinary enough for me though their love was ment to be something so great. But all in all the movie was great! I hope the series just gets better and better from now on!

I just feel like the series is gonna end short? I don't get it how some people say this was too long, it felt so short to me! After the movie I just felt like I need to see it again immediately.. Maybe I'll go see it again next week. ;) But yeah, I think BC should deffenatively be two movies or else the series is gonna end short. They're not gonna get BC into one 2hour movie, no way. If they even try I'm sure it's not gonna turn out good. There's too much happening and too much editing would result in a very messy and shallow movie. Eclipse might be managable as a 2hour movie but I'd like it to be longer, I'd be totally ready to sit down for three hours as long as Pattz is there! ;)

I just saw it again.

Seriously. WTF. I was not looking at Edward at all. Hahaha. He looked good. But Jacob was looking oh-my-god-please-do-me-now-good. RAIN + JACOB = -----*flatlines*

I can't believe how perfect that movie was. Even though things were missing or changed around, it was unbelievably amazing. The colors were so rich. The music. Just everything. THAT is how Twilight should've been made. But I'm kind of glad Twilight was such a piece of crap movie. Makes me appreciate this one so much more.

i couldn't agree more, on everything.

it was as close to perfect as humanly possible. completely beat my wildest visions of this book. i have to see it again. and again..

I love your avi!!!! Hahahaha.

Thats well funny.

Everyone in my cinema half way through was like, oh Jacob is amazing, aww Jacob this. Then at the end, people where just chanting TEAM EDWARD! LOL.

their was this poll outside for people after the movie which team you were on, 85% were Edward and 15% were Jacob. LOL

But yes, i thought Taylor looked amazing. Even though he has five year old nipples. LOL

lol. Edward fans are loyal. Hahaha. I'm sorry, but Rpattz could NOT compete with those abs. XD

Really!? I walked in with 4 Team Edward friends... I walked out with 3 Team Jacobs and one remained neutral :) It annoyed me. We went to go buy posters and stuff, and i just stood in silence as i tried to comprehend how their minds were changed.
Ofcourse Taylor has an astounding body, so i can just about see how someone is Team Taylor (although ill always be Team Rob), but that doesnt change Jacobs character.
I do prefer film Jacob to book Jacob though. He's sweeter.

LOL at 5 year old nipples. He really does!

I am a dedicated Team Edward member. I have always liked Jacob (except maybe in Eclipse, he annoys me), but LOVE Edward. In the movie, I actually did have feelings for Jacob, and can see how some people might switch teams. At the end, I almost started crying for Jacob, and I never felt THAT much for him in the books.....but I'm still TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY!

My heart breaks for jacob. but i will always be loyal to edward till the day i die (OK i know im being dramatic).:)

AMEN!!!
I love love LOVED how they showed bella's thoughts through email to Alice! SO PERFECT!!!
I EFFING LOVE CHRIS WEITZ!!!!

oh man guys..i truly loved the movie...Rob was AMAZING Rob Is AMAZING!...Everyone really out did themselves tho kristen was great taylor was great perfect jacob..Iam so happy with the film..

just seen it tonight and im dying to see it again tomorrow!!

buttt i think i was the only sobbing heart in the cinema.. i cried like a baby at the break up scene and when bella and jacob in the rain.. i mean i was in FLOODS!

1/ the plane ride back
2/ jake rats out bella with the bikes to charlie

4/ when alice and charlie chat when bella is "sleeping"

3/ when eric was crying at romeo and juliet HILARIOUS!!

michael sheen was actually perfect for aro!!

eric was hillarious when he was crying! i laughed so hard! I agree he was the pefect Aro. He talked really freaky though.

I was sad about not seeing your number 5, but the movie was soooooooo much better than I'd expected so I don't even care. Also I LOLed SO hard at the two guys crying at romeo and juliet. hahah I love those two!

Ohhhhhhh Emmmmmmm Geeeee!!

---FLATLINES---

Edward Cullen, ditch Bella Swan and come to look for your Isabella right here with me.. (a)





I loooooved it! It was way better than Twilight and the make-up and coloring and just EVERYTHING! Kudos to Kristen's acting, I was totally feeling every single emotion!
As for the ending: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Why did it have to end that way?? I mean, it was genius, but still I needed more!!
And he didn't say the whole "Before you Bella, my life was like a moonless night" bit.. That was a bit sad, but hey... It compensates that the fact that the rest is PERFECT!
I loved the beginning with first the Italy thing and then it going over into the dream.. At some point during the dream I did have the feeling that Robward would kiss the old lady and I was like "No, you are not!" but he just kissed her hand, so all is well LOL

i almost died! (: it was so good. And i agree, the music was...Disappointing. But CW was an amazing director. Honestly, i think he did better then Catherine would've done on NM. But all in all, fabulatasticacular (: I had to make up a new word cause Any old word wouldnt cover it. KS did wayy better this time! I feel like she really threw herself into the movie (: Two thumbs up for you kristen. And robert pattinson.... *sigh* i felt his pain so much. His face was just agonizing to look at but i couldnt look away! I was bawling because his vibes.. Poor Edward. And Taylor, ohhhhh taylor! Fantastic. No one couldve done better! If the had followed through with their plan to change actors i just might have Exploded them! xD Couldnt have asked for a better jacob. And his hatred toward edward(rob) seemed so real! To bad it wasnt! A really real on set brawl wouldve been pretty cool to see (:

So awesome! Epic, as i guessed. Now im going to become obsessed with having to see this again! :D Loved it!

okay so i read the first three comments and they pretty much said everything. But I just want to express my appreciation and respect for Chris Weitz, you are the man!!! So much better than Twilight, no disrespect for Catherine but I felt like Chris just got it, ya know? I loved that all the out-of-place awkwardness from Twilight was gone, it was a million times more comfortable to watch! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, it literally took my breath away like fifty times. Taylor looked great, and I loved the CGI wolves, they looked AWESOME!! Rob looked TOTALLY GORGEOUS as usual, and the preview for Remember Me was undeniably enticing. lol. All in all, it was a great movie, being an avid fan and extremely detail oriented I yearned for a lot of the little stuff but enough of the main points were included to make it bearable! Our theater had a few glitches with sound and the movie actually cut off for about ten minutes right before the all-important break up scene so I'll be going to see it again soon (as I would have regardless) but it was definitely worth the wait and lack of sleep!! Twilight fan for lifeee!!!!

Lol last night, I went to see the midnight show. I really enjoyed it. At my theater some girls brought a beach ball and we were playing with it passing it around while the commercials were on lol. But omg lol they screamed so much, they made my ears bleed, it was insane. Some were yelling Team Jacob others Team Edward lmao wow. I was just telling them to shush cus we couldn't hear what they were saying. To be honest, I regret watching the spoilers because I already knew what was going to happen. Next time no more spoilers for me lol. Overall, NM was great and definitely better than Twilight. For those that haven't watched it yet, you will enjoy it. The ending was AMAZING :) Seeing it again tomorrow w00t! Oh they also showed the preview of Remember Me. So looking forward to that movie! They all acted so well!

Kristen = Perfect Bella no doubt. She made me see the fragile little human and innocence. So indefensive, I felt so bad for her. She made me cry. lol in the end she's not so innocent, but naughty hehe :)

Rob= Perfect Edward no doubt. No one else could've done a better job to protray Edward than him.

Taylor = Perfect Jacob no doubt, and I'm so happy he didn't give up on his role, he was so meant for it!!!! He made me cry towards the end, for those that have seen it you know why. :(

Thank you soo much CW, you did a great job :)

CW for BD!!!!

Now I'm so looking forward to Eclipse, it's my favorite book!!!. If DS does an amazing job for Eclipse,

CW and DS for BD :)


Ps: Rob and Taylor so hot that I melted!!!

OH ....... MY......................GOD!!!!!!!!!
COULD YOU GET MUCH BETTER????
THE ENDING WAS AMAZING!!!!!
Robert and Kristen just make the whole movie, it was so good
im in love.
the best adaption of a book i have ever seen, CHRIS YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
im must say Taylor is the perfect Jacob, but i still hate him, sorry Team Jacob fans but it is TEAM EDWARD TILL I DIE!!!!

It was amaizing!!! Jake and Bella break-up was so heartbreaking...
They did an amaizing job :D Can't wait to see it again,

I was pretty dissapointed with some key scenes that were left out as well. But you can't expect everything right? They're trying to fit it all into an hour and a half. Overall it was an amazing show and Chris did give the audience the storyline pretty well. I think the part that bothered me the most was the reunion scene between Edward and Bella. It was too short and happend at the wrong time. In the book he said some mind blowing quotes to her which they should have definitely used in the movie! Anyways thats about it, well worth the months of waiting. Now for ECLIPSE =).

I have a massive problem with this movie. It was at least an hour too short! I wanted more and more and oh, please god, more Edward Cullen; the pale, perfect specimen of a vampire that he is! I think, given the time constraints, CW did the best he could and I loved it.
I did miss a lot of scenes but I understand why they were cut out or trimmed. The scenes that worked were stunning. Victoria chased by the wolf pack off the cliff, Edward and Felix fighting and Alice coming back made me so happy. The brutality of the fight between Jacob and Paul was fantastic.
All the way home I kept whispering 'Edward Cullen.'
The ordeal of getting to the cinema would have been way too much to cope with if the movie had turned out to be cr*p. The weather in Britain has been...LIVELY...the past couple of days and I was travelling about 15miles by train because the cinema in my town is smaller than my house and has awful sound and only has NM on in the evening and I'd have killed any kids who were making a noise. Due to a power cut on the train line the trains were off for at least an hour. Getting a bus would have made us late and I tend to barf on buses. Now I would like to nominate my mum for mother of the year. As I stood there with my face falling and the cold rain running down my neck, my mum said, "The hell with it. Lets get a taxi. I'll pay." It cost £30. What a woman.
When we finally got to the cinema and I put my credit card into the ticket machine, only my ticket popped out. The manager had to beat the snot out of the thing and ten mins later found the ticket scrunched up in it. So after all this we were going to cry if the movie had been a disappointment but it wasn't. On the way home I was so giddy I went the wrong way to the train station and got us lost for 15mins.
Yes, it was rushed and the music was OTT at times but it had the feel of an old fashioned movie and I have a feeling it's going to get better with each viewing. I can't wait to watch the DVD until it skips like my Twilight one does!
The vision of vamp Bella and Edward running was cheesy but I think it was Alice being funny. She knows Aro is quite frankly nutso and she showed him an old fashioned scene that he would appreciate. He hardly ever leaves Volterra, he probably isn't too clued up on modern life. As if Alice would really let either of them dress like such a pair of dorks!
Could someone tell me if Alice said something really funny to Jasper at the start of the movie, the birthday scene? My mum says she did but we can't remember what it was. The quip about putting the dog out was genius, as was Alice's face when Jake leaned into the car, right next to her. I love Alice a hundred times more today than I did yesterday.
So, to sum up, I thought it was way better than the critics say and OH EDWARD! How can Edward be so painfully beautiful? It's astounding.

i cried at the breakup scene and at that point i was totally team jacob.i wish i had a werewolf as a best friend and a vampire boyfriend! lol. CW did such a great job! this movie in my opinion was better than Twilight.More action with the werewolves. and i hate the fact that it takes Bella like a whole other book to agree to marry edward i mean really. if u wanna be with him forever why not marry him? i would. XD. 9.5 out of 10!

Ok my opinion:
Acting = awesome
Colors, cinematography, music, and costumes = awesome
Screenplay = Blah.
I walked away thinking Team Edwards would love it and Team Jacobs/Wolfpack might feel a little cheated.
*dodging stones*

I am Team Threesome, I have the t-shirt to prove it! If I was forced to choose I'd be Team Edward although I love Jake too but I agree with you. The time constraints did mean there wasn't enough Jake or wolfpack.
No stones from me!

Thanks Cara.
And you're right; it was a time constraint thing. I hope the DVD offers me lots of yummy wolfie deleted scenes.

Oh and you're right about one more thing; that would be a smokin' fire and ice threesome ;)

It's greedy but I don't see why anyone has to choose. I wouldn't say no to Demetri, Felix, Carlisle, Charlie, Emmett, Jasper, any of the wolfpack or Laurent!
Life's too short to limit your choices or to nitpick everything to death.
I want to say to a lot of people, "Enjoy films and life in general for what they are; you'll be happier if you do!"
The DVD is out around my birthday and I can't wait.

I really enjoyed New Moon. Sure there were things from the book I would've liked to see in the movie, and there were a couple of things I didn't quite like with the movie. But all in all New Moon was great and I think the cast and crew did the very best they could adapting the movie for the big screen. I'm sure it's no easy task making a 500 and + paged booked into a 2 hour movie.

Here's the deal. As hard core of a fan that I am, I am equally honest. New Moon fell somewhat flat and here's why: THE SCORE. Honestly, without really great music ANY movie will lose the intended emotional intensity, whether it be humor, romance, fear, heart break...Twilight hit me in my musical gut, starting with "Full Moon" in Arizona, dreaming with "Eyes on Fire", and who can forget "Supermassive Black Hole" and vampire baseball...but the clencher was, there was NOTHING even close to resembeling the romantic flow of CB "Bella's Lullaby". I truly beleive that the music can make or break a film and New Moon got jipped. I thimk that if the appropriate music was set to the same movie, a MUCH bigger impact could have been made. And more over, I REALLY hope that this message gets across to the powers that be when putting together the final edit of "Eclipse". If that movie is bungled by a luke warm soundtrack, it will beeven more of a disappointment than this was.

Also, I agree with many of the other posts...the love of your life just bailed on you, Bella...CRY A TEAR for Pete's sake!!!!!! I was really hoping for the gut wrenching pain and horror that I felt when I read this part in the book. It just wasn't there. Maybe they should slow down production just a tad and focus on the quality of the performance and other details instead of worrying so much about a vampire developing a wrinkle or two.
PS the wolves were AWESOME and the fight btw Paul and Jake gave me the chills!

I agree with all of you... honestly, that's the point why I feel harry potter movies have become the favourite of so many adults... the quality of movies has increased since Cuaron, but with this saga, it's backwards... started fantastic and went down... hopefully, Eclipse will be better. But even so, I don't feel like I'm going to buy the DVD.

It was beautiful... i cried *sniff* i felt like the volturi people were very akward but in a REALY cool way!! Edward and Bella were not as tense in this film.. they were more calm and care free.. I LOVED IN THE VOTING SCENE WHERE BELLA WAS LIKE SHUT UP TO EDWARD.. and then alice smiles oh thats was funny

Honestly? I didn't like it at all... bad directing, Kirsten was terrible (for god sake woman!! you're boyfriend left you... show some emotion while you were chasing him into the woods!!), the Volturi? for a moment i thought i was watching an Anne Rice's movie. Jane? what happened with that evil girl!!?...Dialogues were so plain as if the actors were reading them... not emotion at all... i think the only two good performances were Edward (always suffering) and Jacob and surprising Jessica too.

Photography?... so normal and common (Twilight's was a lot better)... the movie didn't cause too much madness in Mexico, we were only 20 people in a 320 seats screening room and I could clearly hear the people's whispers (mostly girls) that the movie was... actually boring!
Not my favorite book, except for those Edward's parts but even so were so... I mean, what happen with that Vampire-Werewolf rivalry between Alice and Jacob. It was like... "did you know that I hate you?... you didn't, well I hate you!"

I don't know... i really expect something cool, after all, Chris filmed the Golden Compass and it's a beautiful movie... Ok but even so, not all was so bad... Bella's dream was cool, just like Victoria being chased by the wolf pack (that gils knows how to move!)

So, i think you need to be a very, very but very fan of this movie to think is worthy of pay money.

Sorry people!... love the saga but i think this doesn't deserve to be watched

i couldn't agree with you more. I am actually a twihard... and after today, I'm going to take a break from all things twilight.. except for the fanficiton. I was soooooooo dissapointed. I saw the movie at midnight as well, and let me tell you, there were people actually laughing at parts that were suppose to be seriously and heartbreaking... Like the part when Bella tells Jacob "you can't break up with me" being the fan that I am.... I'm going to see again just to make sure that I wasn't in a funky mood or something...

There are a few key bits missing that made me really cringe...
Aeroplane back from Italy
The funny confused "I must be dreaming" bit after they get back from Italy (that features in my favourite chapter of eclipse as one of Edwards top 10 best nights - See? He would miss it too!)
What does Jake know about the Vampires special talents? eg. Edwards reading minds etc
And many more bits too...
Aside from the 'vision' Aro saw of Bella and Edward as vampires together, which had everyone in the cinema laughing, still not sure if they designed that to be comical or not, I know it isnt in the book?!

HOWEVER!!!

I thought the film as a whole was really well done, it was by far better than the first film.
I loved it!
The bits that are missing are minor really, they are only important to those who have spent hours and hours pouring over the book.
I was happy that to someone who had never read the books, they did get pretty much all of the crucial bits in there, even if some parts felt abit rushed and skimmed over, at least they were in there rather than missing huge chunks out.

The ending made the entire cinema erupt though... To someone who hasnt read all of them, that has gotta be so bloody infuriating! :p (So glad I have I would be screaming by now!)

Great film, then again we all knew it would be! and Kristen was amazing, as were the guys... Mmm :)

Amazing. Seamless. Perfect.

Hello twifans..hehe

Ok so im the biggest dork and im totally obsessed with this saga!!!!

I swear ive been checking for updates every single day since twilight opened!!!!!!!!!!!! yes im a bit obsessed..... but most of alll disappointed...

I love Rob, Kriste, and my beautiful baby, Taylor.

I stood in line for 5 hours!!! the lines were wicked and the weather was horrible, nonetheless, i sucked it up bc im a TWILIGHTER! loll

Ok, so after sitting through two hours of this, i choke when i say this but i was SUPER DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that Chris Weitz directed this movie. I dont think many of you agree but i think this saga has lost its true essence. The 2nd book should be the gloomiest tragic story. Bella is abandoned. I love twilight and its goth mood and scenery. Most of all and importantly, i love twilights SCORE. I know twilight was great and thats why NEW MOON had very high expectations and since the directing style was different it received the rating and reviews that it did. And i agree. I give it a 2 out of 10. I love that they covered everything in the book. But i feel it was turned into a romantic comedy and not to mention the score was TERRIBLE!!!!!!! Overall i hate to even say this i dont know how these two words can go together, but NEW MOON was boring. I didnt feel it had its initial vampirish and werewolvish feel to it. I guess i was expecting a darker more serious and sad film and i feel this went too far with the comedy. I mean come on, the way Alice flew out of the staircase in school to give Bella her dress? that was a bit much and looked stupid....i just, i dont know i expected more. I fell in love with Catherine Hardwicke's vision and feel that this movie was a joke. It could have been wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better considering this had so much potential to be a fantastic movie. Dont get me wrong. The graphics were amazing, Jacob was ohhh sooo delicious (cuff me) and Edwart always beautiful, just the way this story was put together. I hope Eclipse is nothing like this and i think Stephanie (with all due respect) made a poor choice not only in deciding to have a different director for every movie, (i understand not everyone shares the same vision and everyone views things different) but you cant keep giving us different settings and emotions. Its like blade or any other trilogy gone wrong because of the change of director. Whomever starts a Saga with something so delicate such as this story, they should finish it. I feel like im blind folded and a different person is helping me find my way in different directions. I dont know if im too anal i just didnt expect this at all. Its just unfortunate with Stephanie wanting diff directors. Im excited for Eclipse but so scared that not only will it be horrible like New Moon but completely different than Twilight and New Moon. This could have been very successful from the get go if she would stick to one person.

Over all, it wasnt bad i love my twilight saga and will forever be faithful to the books and for the passion i have for it. Just expecting something else for Eclipse.

I haven't seen it yet......but I am just waiting to go see it with friends on Thanksgiving day. I can't wait!!! One thing I wanted to say is that the reviews for this film are VERY good everywhere I have checked with only a minimal amount of bad ones. I am very excited to see this movie. I hope I can wait until Thursday!!! ARRRGG!!

So who wants to wager that Summit will officially announce BD being made into a film or two films on Monday after the final numbers are added up for NM's opening weekend?

I really want to know who will direct BD. I'm also nervous to see who they pick.

One more question; now that the majority of us has seen NM, do we all want CW to direct BD? Or has your opinion of him changed?

I know MR needs to go, she will butcher the script and I can't stand for her to monopolize all four books. Summit, you can do better than that.

CHRIS SHOULD DO IT! He was amazing with New Moon, he would be amazing for Breaking Dawn!

and you're right, I bet they will announce it after they get the final numbers for New Moon. I promise it will be a lot. The elevan am showing was PACKED.

same here. I live in a really small town, but we have bigger towns around, and most of the people were going to the theatres there. but, all 3 theatres for New Moon were packed when I got there, and I'd heard all day about people that were dissapointed that they couldn't get tickets.

and I'm so joining in on that bet;) that's so what Summit would do. didn't they do that with this movie? I forget.
CW for BD!!!!!

The midnight showing alone pulled in nearly 30 million, beating out Harry Potter and The Dark Knight.

I know, A good 90% of our midnight shows here was SOLD OUT. Of course, I think we have to honor our Native, Taylor here, which he was AMAZING in NEW MOON. The movie was AMAZING! I was so happy with it and how close to the book it was!

Now we have to wait for Eclipse, which we saw a poster for at our theater RIGHT after we saw new Moon. There is no breaks for the Twi-fans.

Well we need something to fill the six month void before June rolls around. I just don't want to see any spoilers of Eclipse. At all. Summit better not assault us with clips because I will not watch them. Period. Eclipse is my favorite book and I don't want my experience muddled with teasers from TV.

omg it was awesome :D ....... edward *swoon*
i loved it .. all the actor were amazing :) emmett so funny :L
my only downer.. is that it want too fast, and we didnt see enough jacob :O
wooo x

Oh My Edward. Seriously I saw new moon last night for the twilight/new moon marathon. Which let me just say...BRILLIANT IDEA. We ended up getting the the theatre around noon....all together making it 14 hours spent inside the theatres and it was worth EVERY second of waiting.

I love coming onto this site and being able to see other peoples responses and reactions! It totally brings me back to being in that seat loving every minute of new moon!!

I will say that it wasnt perfect but PFFFFT who cares? I got EXACTLY what I wanted which was a theatrical version of my favorite series.

The ending...BRILLIANT. Summit, you have me hanging...just speechless so ready to watch more more more.
I was seriously sitting in my seat with my mouth hanging open with the wolves scene with laurrant.
Effing wow.
The wolves...

The work that they put into them, just makes the whole movie worth while. I was really scared that they would try and make them look horrible like the warewolf in Harry Potter...or others that were too scary like Underworld.

Which brings me to the Sheen. AHHHHHH Lucian...he was seriously a PERFECT ARO. couldnt have dreamed up a better person. Gratz CW.

Bella..ahh Kristen Stewart bothered the crap out of me in twilight, but i still trudged through it so many times just to see my favorite charaters. In new moon, she was so much better! I believed her performance and wasnt hung up on the fact that she was blinking a million times, or studdering on every word. She blew me away.

Edward- Rob...you're just sexy as hell. I love you, and you are doing such a great job with Edward. Nobody could have taken that charater on like you have, you make me believe that edward is real and is oh so sexxy. Just keep doing what you do and call me :)

and JACOB- taylor...where did you come from eh? You totally stole my heart. STOLE. Im am now officially team switzerland because of your performance, and that was an impossible thing. IMPOSSIBLE. You kicked major a** and seriously kudos for a job well done.

AHHH so much to talk about. I loved it ALL. I really enjoyed just the whole experiance. I was asked by my boyfriend this moring, what was my favorite part and...i still dont have one.:)


ALL OF IT. The whole movie was just so much more that I could have asked for and as soon as i get more money....IM GOING BACK TO SUPPORT and watch it as many times as i can.

WOOOOT to new NEW MOON.
WOOT to the cast, crew, and STEPHANIE MEYER
and WOOOT to the fans who got what they wanted. EDWARD BELLA AND JACOB IN THE FLESH <3
Hisses from the Cobrasxxx

In my country (Belgium) all the things I read about New Moon in the newspapers are bad (slow,...). But, personally, when the movie finished, it was like it had begun 30min ago. I didn't find it slow or boring. Everybody, at the end of New Moon was happy and I heard some people saying they would come back soon. It's true that some parts of the book were missing but it's still good. Before New Moon, we saw Twilight and when, for the first time, Robert Pattinson appeared, everybody screamed. But in New Moon, when Taylor Lautner took off his shirt, first there was a big silence and then everybody was like "waaaw". Seriously it's a great movie. I don't understand why the "profesionals" think it's really disappointing. But one thing...Does anyone think that in some way Chris Weitz by showing Alice's vision (Bella as a vampire) "assured" his place in Breaking Dawn? =p

I think anyone who is not necessarily Team Jacob- but someone feels for him throughout the books will walk away from this movie heartbroken, as I did.

Don't get me wrong- the movie was utterly perfect. I could feel the connection b/n B & J in my bones as I sat there. But that last seen was incredibly intense and downright heartbreaking.

=(

Definitely. In the books I always liked Jacob a lot but was never Team Jacob in any way; it was ALWAYS about Edward. The movie, however, was so heartbreaking and I felt for Jacob so much... I so badly wanted Bella to pick Jacob, even though I love Edward! Taylor did such an amazing job playing Jacob... <3

OMG!!! New Moon was amazing! I love it! It was really cool because right before our movie started Bronson Pelletier came out on stage and presented the movie... i was in complete shock... I live in a small county called Denmark and that kind of stuff just doesn't happen very often here! The best movie experience EVER... well until eclipse! :)

DAMMIT GUYS!
I fu*king love this movie!
Chris, thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
And KRISTEN! My girl, she totally owned New Moon, I love her acting. But it wasn't her 1st time, I loved her, for example, in The Cake Eaters or Adventureland. And ITLOW. And Into The Wild. LOL I'm just a huge fan of her, she's incredibly talented. <3
Rob. Well, acting, really good, but look? I prefer when he's not with 'Edward's make - up'. Still hot tho.
Taylor. Just WOW. He really surprised me. Scene in the rain kinda made me cry.
Ashley is soooo ahh - mazing. Loved Alice in the school (jump, huh? really awesome.)
Kellan, Jackson, Peter - love them!
I LOVE BILLY! he's so hilarious & cool!
Rachelle.. oh godness, now I'm gonna miss her even more. :(
Edi! Genius! He's (well, he was) perfect Laurent. Love the scene between him & wolves.
Wolves are great too. But I'm not really Team Werewolves, sorry. :)
VOLTURI! Fantastic! Fantastic! And fantastic again!
AND 'MARRY ME BELLA' SCENE WAS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

CW4BD! CW4BD! CW4BD!

Did I forget about anything?

was the marry me scene really beautiful???

(i havent seen the movie yet)

absolutely. it was amazing. (:

Darn, of course I did!
Humans!
Mike - better than TwiMike. One of my fav scenes - Bella to Jacob "You're hot." (already LMAO) and then the look on Mike's face! hahah. :D
Jessica - hilarious. She's like blah blah blah but I love her for this.
Eric - crying @ "Romeo & Juliet" - priceless! Hmmm.. speaking of "R&J" - Rob's quoting. OH MY.
Angela's just Angela.

I loved it, though I hate what Chris did with the ending. I mean, I know she says yes, but come on...
Anyways, can someone give me the ninth code for Win a trip to Italy on hottopic.com?

I loved the movie. I cried, I laughed, I hurt when Bella did, I wanted to throw things at the screen when Edward left...

After I got home I realized that they did leave out a lot of scenes that I really wanted to see. ....

Bella getting cut and Edward suffering for DAYS not one day about leaving or not. It made it look like it wasn't a hard decision for him to leave Bella. Just like when they reunited in Italy! I hated it. Bella was supposed to think Edward was going to leave her as soon as he could. I wanted to see Bella thinking she'd actually died and Edward convince her they were alive. I wanted to see Edward kiss Bella and Bella try to stop him.

I wanted to see Charlie telling Alice about Bella's zombie=ness. I wanted to see Alice talking on the phone to Jasper and dazzling the flight attendant. I wanted to see Alice and Jasper reunite in the airport....

BUT I still loved the movie. I thought Bella's catatonic state was really well shown with the months passing by. I didn't like her "emailing" Alice...but it was a good way for her to talk about what was going on.

I want to see the movie again. Now. =)

Oh! And I loved all the witty dialouge. I loved Jessica in Port Angeles, I loved Jasper's lines (the what, 2 that he had? Poor Jasper!) There were a lot of funny lines in the movies. I loved that =)

hey everyone...look at what we did

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?i...

(YES WE BROKE THE RECORD SET BY HARRY POTTER THIS PAST JULY)

YES! GO TWILIGHT!!!

OK I saw New Moon at a special screening last night. Besides the technical sound problems they had in the beginning.. I noticed some lines introduced in the trailers where not in the movie. Something simple like the birthday scene, when Bella says that cake can feed 50. I don't know if I saw a rough draft of the movie because it was "special screening" or what lol But I will have a better opinion when I see it again next week =)

1 question .... was there any screaming ?? did u girlz scream ??

Only when Taylor took his shirt off in the motorcycle scene, and only for about a split second. Which was good, cause I didn't fo to listen to girls scream, I can watch Comic con videos for that. ;)

a few. But i sorted them out.

I screamed NO! when Jacob nearly kissed Bella and the phone rang. The audience started p!ssing themselfs.

And at the end when it said Marry me? I shouted YES! LOL

Also a little baby about 3 years old! Kept saying he didn't like Jacob! LOL

I heard a LOT of screaming, but I wasn't part of it usually. there were times when you just can't help yourself though;)

Kristen and Rob did an amazing job LOVED it. Totally ROCKED the house.

im glad most agree that the music with new moon totally didnt fit. twilight music was much better. overall the movie was mediocre. the book had so many emotions beautifully wirtten by stephenie and i wish i could have felt more of that during the movie. lets see how this new director does with eclipse.

Absolutely amazing!! It was THE BEST MOVIE! The cinematography was BEAUTIFUL! Acting was amazing, it got a lot of "wording" from the book, so I was very happy with that. It was totally a movie for the fans, as it should of been. Well done Chris Weitz, well done.

Can't wait to go see it again this weekend!!! ahhh!

I live in scotland & jst got bk from seeing new moon.....
AMAZING.It totally exceeded all of my expectations.
ALL of the actors truly stepped up their game !!
the effects were outsandingly good,C/W is an utter genius !!
I'm absoloutley speechless when it comes to the volturi,it is possibly the best casting EVER !!
I am amzaed by Micheal Sheens portrayal of Aro,well all of their perfomances really.Taylor really came through ( not just phisycally,although hello abs!!)Sam was also really well cast.I cannot praise this film enough,if i had my way it would b given an oscar :D
C/W 4 breaking dawn !!

I think I loved it?!?! Kind of like when I first saw twilight I was unsure and I think it is because the books are so awesome, my expectations are set way too high. I know I will love, love it when I see some more.
Rob, Kristin, Taylor and everyone else did a fabulous job playing their part! Kristin has really stepped up her game and Rob has the whole vampire angst part just right.

Can anyone remember the parts that go with the songs?? I only can remember the Victoria scene with Thom Yorke, and loved that part!!

That was my thought too, I think I love it, but I certainly don't hate it. Mostly, like you said, my expectations were through the roof. But the acting was excellent by all cast members, and the cgi wolves blew me away, and how true it was to the book was incredible! I really felt like I lived the experience I felt in the book, and I'll take it being a little slow paced if I get to do that!

New Moon was AWESOME!!!
the only complaint I have is that it didn't seem to flow very well, there was a lot of skipping.
I really liked how they inserted a bunch of really funny parts:) like Eric acting out Face Punch(totally stayed in character, very reminiscent of Twilight. remember "La Push baby?")
Rachelle Lefevre was just unbelievable. she did an amazing job, and they better make BDH good in Eclipse if they want to beat that. i really doubt it will happen.
the break up scene was PERFECT. I'm not a very emotional person at movies or books but I could feel my throat closing up from the pure heartbreak when Bella was looking for Edward in the woods.
I also liked them putting Edward crushing the phone in Brazil;)
Michael Sheen was another one who got Aro down to a T. EXACTLY how I imagined him.
one really, really bad thing though, why oh why did they have to end it on the words: "marry me"??? that's was just wrong! no fair! now I'm TOO eager for Eclipse. at least we won't have to wait an entire year this time....

Now the numbers start rolling in...

A good review of the film.

http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/talking...

OMG OMG OMG! So glad I went to a matinee so I could enjoy it fully! First off, the break up scene, absolutely heart wrenching. The ending of the movie jaw dropping. And the volturi scenes just plain crazy!!!! Everything was just PERFECT!

*plugs ears* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!!! lol still haven't seen it... that will change tomorrow! (=

When I left the theatre, I liked the movie. A little less thrilled today. Kristen Stewart's performance was much better, but she was so bad in Twilight, I am not sure she should get the high praise she's been getting from some. But she did better and deserves recognition for that. She didn't seem to love Edward so much, though, I thought the reunion dialogue she wasn't convincing at all. She still had patches of her blinking, open mouth, head shaking, etc. there and elsewhere. But first half of movie, I thought pretty good work. The guys were very good, way too little of Edward, though, and pretty one-note and I blame the script (and the book in general, I guess.) I thought he really showed some acting chops. Taylor too, but thought less so after he became a werewolf. But Bella/Kristen just didn't seem engaged with him at that time. The really fantastic acting was with Michael Sheen, Anna Kendrick, Mike, and Dakota Fanning. Charlie, too. Dakota's one "pupil twitch" showed more acting prowess than anything from Kristen, so far, but she's gifted. I have to say I am excited for Rob in Remember Me, and for Bel Ami (with the reports of great co-stars), for his career's sake (and esp. b/c he is w/Stewart, in private life, just a teenager still) he needs to be seen as a romantic lead with [other] women. The audience gasped and said "Oh My god" type comments when they saw Rob in the Remember Me trailer. People really want to see this! And there were very few teenagers in my theatre, it was 20yr+ women.

My mind was blown by how fantastic New Moon was. It blew Twilight out of the water. Kristen, Rob and Taylor were so great. Their acting abilities have improved so much... or maybe they were just complimented by a much better director. :) I feel as though I owe Chris Weitz something. He saved the Saga. If New Moon had turned out like Twilight did, I am not sure what I would have done... Also, I have always ALWAYS been Team Edward, but now, after seeing New Moon and how fantastic Taylor Lautner was. I might just have to change to Team Switzerland! :D <3

I agree. I was ALMOST convinced to be Team Jacob, even though I am in love with Rob Pattinson and am a lifelong member of the Team Edward Club. Taylor Lautner was amazing.

I really surpriseeee!!! andd concerned tooo.. have you see guys the top critics film from new moon movie Here

Well it looks like everyone's opinion of NM is split down the middle.

I'm giving it a solid 8 out of 10. No movie can be a perfect 10 but it was much, much better than Twilight.

I just got back and really wish I had time to watch it again before picking the kiddies up from school! I was soooo tempted to get right back in line and call someone to pick up the kids. With MUCH restraint I got in my car and made it home...booo-hoo:( I loved going early this morning because there were no teenagers talking. It was just grown women and a few hubbys.

Loved it does not even describe it. So much better than Twilight! Kristen finally got Bella down. Jacob was full of emotion, and I cried when Edward made the call and looked destroyed by what he was told.
Eclipse is my personal favorite book and am really looking forward to seeing it on the big screen too. But I will definately see New Moon a few more times at the cinema. Can't wait for the DVD so I can slow mo Edward flipping Bella over his arm! Ahhhh!!

Hated the YELLOW contacts. They looked so...uggghhh! Not convincing at all. I hope David Slade fixed that for Eclipse. And Jaspers hair?! WTF!?!

Alrighty...so as many of you guys..I braved the 6 hour line yesterday to see the 12:01 showing of the movie. The movie actually didn't get started till about 12:40 because of "technical difficulties." Now, have got to say WOW. The feeling the movie gave me is amazing. No matter how many people complained about Twilight, i still loved it. It is the beginning to what is becoming an amazing Saga. Being the first movie, it would have it's issues, but may I say Chris Weitz, wow, what an amazing job bringing to life my favorite book out of the series (besides Breaking Dawn!!!) I loved the color scheme used..a lot warmer than Twilight!!! I can't wait for 06/30/2010 and see what David Slade has to bring to us on the big screen!! Will I see this movie again, F--K YES!!! BUY ON DVD...HELL YES...2 THUMBS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY UP TO NEW MOON....

As much as i want to love it i can't say it. The actors were all good but there were somethings that i would change but i wont bore you with them

I just have to say that New Moon is AMAZING and Chris did a 200% better job than Catherine. Everything was so well put together, the camera angles, the colors, and he put almost all of the book in the movie...unlike Catherine. She should be embarassed. I mean she put in the dialogue at the end of Twilight when Bella's like "Why didn't you let the venom spread? Id be like you right now." But you don't know that because she cut out Alice and Jasper COMPLETELY...which pissed me off. NO I LOVE YOU'S!! WTF!!

Anyways. I wouldn't change a thing that Chris did. I did laugh at the dress in the scene where Aro sees Alice's vision, but the sparkle looked amazing.

I LOVED how Eric Yorkie was crying while they were watching Romeo and Juliet. I almost DIED!!!

Taylor did an AMAZING job as Jake. I am a HUGE TEAM EDWARD girl, but I felt so sad for Jake. Great job Taylor.

I loved the HUGE muffins too. Everything was done extremely well.

Michael Sheen was AMAZING as Aro I was scared and totally intrigued all at the same time. The Voluri totally captivate me.

I was cringing during the fight scene in Italy. AMAZING..


OOOOO and when Paul and Jake in wolf form fight....I was literally on the edge of my seat biting my nails. AMAZING!!!

Id love to see it again and again and again, but my husband would prolly divorce me. LOL

He does want to see it though cuz I wont stop talking about the books.

I haven't seen him since 6:00 am yesterday. LOL I worked 8-5 and then didnt get home til 3:30 this morning and guess what...Im working 8-5. I drive like 30 mins to get to work, so I got an amazing 2 hrs of sleep. LOL

GO SEE NEW MOON!!! It totally saved the movies.

Thank you Chris!!

Hope I didn't offend anyone. Have a great day and comment, comment, comment!!

sorry for all the typos! I was so upset when I wrote it, I hit send before editing. But you guys get my point!

WHERE THE HELL WAS THE BEST QUOTE IN THE ENTIRE BOOK IN THE MOVIE?!??

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.


god i wanted that to happen so bad, and let down. bummer - but really, congrats to the cast - they did great.

So I was truly disappointed with the film. I think now after seeing both movies, it's not anyones fault but the screen writers! She sucks! Who is she related to that they've given her all three movies to right. She obviously has never been in a relationship or has had anything excited happen in her life! Because anything romantic or exciting from the book was FLAT on screen! I understand they had to fill in as much as possible and make it look great on screen but they FAILED. What the heck was that all about in Italy when she saves him! Right then and there in 30 seconds he's like "Oh I love you sorry about the last few months" and she's like "no prob lets kiss" How anticlimatic! In the book it builds up until the bedroom seen, they could have spared me the nonsense in the church! Then in the forest when she turns to Edward and is like "read his mind and tell me if he will hurt me" WTF was that! It was so stupid! Edward never knows what's going to set of the wolf (jacob) and Jacob would never think of intentionally hurting Bella! I swear if there had not been so many people in my aisle I would have stormed out after that! That was my last straw! Why the hell did they make Edward look so depressed in the bday scene! They were happy, normal, in love, UNTIL Jasper tries to kill her! Hello! I've been robbed! I waited one year for this! I'm so aggravated that she wrote the third one too! I will not be purchasing tickets ahead of time nor staying up until midnight to see that one! I'll just wait like a normal person and catch the matinee! And another thing...what the heck..when she jumps into the water why didn't they show Edward asking her to fight and her giving up! That part was so important. GRRRRR I wish I could morph into a wolf to growl about how upset I am about he film! Anyone who is a true fan should feel ripped off!

I know that "read his mind and tell me if he will hurt me" quote REALLY pissed me off- Bella would NEVER think that Jacob would hurt her and would never say that. This isnt supposed to be a comedy- everything that was filled with emotion was flat. It was so so so flat. Screenwriter clearly sucks- honestly cant believe they kept her for another movie.

No

Doll you got it wrong

She said that to make Edward KNOW that Jacob will never hurt her or even think about hurting her

Ok, I could not post last night as much as I wanted to, but I wrote down everything that I needed to talk about....all I can say is "Taylor, Taylor, Taylor" He was perfect, his performance of Jacob was right on...I felt that I was watching what I pictured in my head. It was soo cool and I am still speechless.

Kristen did a way better job as Bella in NM than in Twilight. She got all the emotions that Bella goes through, I loved how she laughed when she was with Jacob and she was the different version of Bella, I totally get it when they say E'dwards Bella to Jacobs Bella, when Bella is With Edward she is a little more serious, opposite Jacobs Bella when she is a little more reckless, Kristen did that. MY FAVORITE Bella part when she tells Edward to shut up when they are voting....so good i LOV LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!

Rob was good. I missed Edward which is what was suppose to happen, so I am very happy with that!

Volutori THAT WAS THE BEST...Micheal Sheen was AMAZING!!! He was scary and cool and Italian!!! Loved it all of them did so good!

Wolf Pack, great! I wish I could have seen them alot more!

Ok Things I didn't like, I felt like alot of everyone did the scenes where too short. but I get that CW wanted alot of the book in there. Which I appreciate so it is ok. One thing that bugged me the most was the fact that Bella see's Paul transform before she talks to Jake, so somethings where out of sequencse which was a little odd. but I wished that my favorite chapter where Bella is home talking to Edward after, in her room I wish that was there not in some hall...but glad it was there.

ALL IN ALL I LOVED LOVED LOVED THE ENTIRE MOVIE I PLAN ON GOING TO SEE IT AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES THIS WEEKEND!!

I absolutely loved it. Much, much better than Twilight. Only the ending was a bit too quick: we were in Volterra, and all of the sudden we were back in Forks. We didn't get to see Alice's and Jasper's reunion, no Rosalie's apologies... And the phone call in the aeroplane! Music was awesome, and so was the directing. I love you, Chris Weitz!

I hated, hated, hated that in the movieteather everyone was constantly laughing. I didn't find many things funny, because I think I have more serious thoughts about this story. I wanted to shoot the girl next to me, because she had this annoying fake laught. She also commented everything... Argh! Can't wait for the DVD relaese!

In the Midnight show I saw last night people were screaming, giggling, texting and laughing all the way through. That was distracting but not distracting enough to pull me off of the horrible music, and how disappointed I was in this film. TWILIGHT was AWESOME: Moody, atmospheric, Carter Burwell's brilliant score, the blue tones, the white skin of the vampires, the many memorable scenes........ I love the books and TWILIGHT and was hugely disappointed in New Moon. Kristen is an amazing actress. Taylor was wonderful. Rob was great, as always. But the film let them down. Bring back Catherine Hardwicke. She cast it, she gets it and she should do Breaking Dawn. My 2 cents.

I definitely agree with you on having Catherine come back and do Breaking Dawn... As I was watching the movie the only thing I could think about is how fake they looked in this one.. the contact lenses drove me insane, Jasper's and Rosalie's wigs were horrible and I didn't feel the emotional connection between Edward and Bella as I did in Twilight.. For whatever reason I think the blue tones and the white skin was soo much better in Twilight.. to me the make up in NM seemed very fake..

However, I am a huuge fan of the Saga and I will go and see it again.. I just feel overall the emotional aspect of the movie was a lot better in Twilight and even though we were all mad that it didn't follow the book so much.. Now, I feel that b/c NM tried SO hard to put everything in from the book that in turn it put too much.. Scenes were very choppy, not developed and some things could've been deleted and others added... but I AM A HUGE FAN so I will support it no matter how it is...

Oh and in Twilight --- i could be wrong, but to me it felt like Edward new that he shouldn't be with Bella, but he still wanted to and you could feel that tension.. in NM i felt that, at least the ending, should've had more "lovey-dovey" tension b/n Bella and Edward...

I could be overreacting, but I still loved the actors and the movie-- just some things i thought could've been improved on.. :)

I'm not being baised. Ok, whatever, i am. that was the best film i have ever seen. Perfection just rippled through it. it was gorgeous, the colour of the screen was so warm.

First of all, Kristen owned New Moon completely. She was a trooper. She did everything right. Everything perfect. She, she just got it. Especially with Rob. Them two were electrifying. I couldn't believe how much chemistry was oozing out of it. How good they were.

Rob, delicious. He just is Edward. I can't and couldn't see anyone better then him. The kisses with Kristen were so HOT. He stepped up his game and for me, was the better actor on the guy side. When he took his top off, the cinema was shaking because of the screaming. It was electrifying.

Taylor, first of all, your body. Yummy. Every girl screamed when you took your top off. You portrayed Jacob so well, i am so glad you are Jacob. You nearly made half my friends turn Team Jacob. You were just a joy to watch.

the bits i loved:
- The kisses. when Edward kissed Bella i screamed "They've been practising" You must have because it was so much better then Twilight. My favourite kiss was the volturi kiss.
- The Volturi FIGHT! It was Epic. The Volturi and Aro, had me in goosebumps. Especially the elevator scene had me in giggles.
- The wolfs chasing victoria was my favourite wolf scene. Rachelle was amazing and it is rediculous they got rid of her. She was amazing. I really don;t want BDH to be Victoria. Rachelle IS Victoria. Big boo to summit for firing her.
- Edward and Bella break up scene, had me in tears. I came out an emotional wreck. I felt like he had left me.
- The hallusinations. OH MY GOD. Yes! Yes! Yes! That was done perfectly.
- The music and dialogue as well as the transition to different scenes was genious. Especially the Grandma one and the passing of months.
- The sparkles with Bella and Edward. Everyone laughed but i was all for it. I loved how she looked and how Bella turned around and glanced at Edward.
- Rob and Kristen's connection and chemistry was so strong, i could feel it, they never left each others eyes everytime they were on screen together. It was amazing. I was stunned by how comfortable they were aruond each other, when really they shouldn't be. I can't wait to see Eclipse.
- I actually didn't mind jacob until he kissed Bella's lip! Everyone awwed and i screamed NO! Well the audience got a laugh out of it.
- Finally the Ending. It made me want Eclipse more. So much more. Like craving it. "Marry me, Bella!" I screamed and cried.

overall i think i loved the movie more then any friend. LOL

The only bit i was uncomfortable with was Jacob and Bella's chemistry. It didn't click, they didn't feel right together. Like kristen couldn't hold Taylors gaze. They wondered far out for me. But overall, the break up scene between these two made it ok for me.

Over all 100/10. LOL. I'm off to go watch it again tomorrow night!

ok, before this movie, i was never team edward or jacob. i thought they were both good for bella in their own way. but after seeing taylor as jacob in new moon, i fell in love with his character! i mean, it doesn't hurt that he is gorgeous (i'm sooo jealous of taylor swift!). but he's so sweet and caring and lovable, i would've loved to be bella during that hug and basically any other times she was with him. those abs.....omg do i have to say anything else?!

putting jacob aside, chris weitz did a fantastic job on new moon. he stuck to the book well. i was extremely pleased with the way the whole thing looked and i really don't have any complaints. the entire cast was wonderful, of course rob and kristen (billy burke is another personal favorite!). i can't wait to see it again and i hope june comes quickly so i can see eclipse!

Welcome to the Wolfpack baby! lol

This movie was amazing! I felt they followed the book VERY well! The acting was MUCH improved from Twilight. I feel that Jacob definetly stole the show. His intent, serious and comedic character were great. The only parts that got me choked up were with him. Not being biased cause I'm Team Jacob either, but his "break-up" with Bella was WAAAAY more intense than Edwards. I was not as happy with the "don't go" portion when B was leaving. When I read the book, I was in tears. However, at the very end with the trifecta, I could feel MY heart getting ripped out. Seriously, Bella....WTJunk!? The look on the Jacobs face as a wolf melted my heart.


THANK YOU CRHIS WEITZ....you did AMAZING work. WAAAAY better than Twilight. Gosh, the trailers produced were better than the Twilight movie. I'm a huge fan of the franchise, a Twihard, and I felt you gave the book justice and did a great job. Thank you. Seeing NM on screen was simply amazing.

THANK YOU to the CAST. Taylor...you rocked it out. Kristen...you were great. Rob...as always great. Everybody...thank you!

Lets get ready for ECLIPSE BABY!!! FIRE AND ICE....I swear you had better be in the film. haha

I absolutely loved it! I was a little disappointing at how sped up it felt! Also how alot of things were re-done scenes drastically changed alot of things cut and totally not in it at all! I think they added a little to much to it that is really not in the story and left out a little to much that was in the story....But over all I did absolutely love it! They did a pretty good job and my husband who refuses to read the books understood it for the most part and was able to catch onto what was going on....I love the new color tones their eyes looked AMAZING compared to twilight! Actors did a totally amazing job! all awkwardness from first movie gone! Amazing job on the wolves i was a little scared they wouldnt be massive like they are in the book but WOW they were phenomenal! Over all they did an amazing job! I cant wait to watch it again and I really cant wait to see Eclipse!!

THEY LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT LINE IN THE ENTIRE BOOK!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I loved it, but they needed to make the cliff scene the climax of the movie, and they didn't. When she falls in, they needed to show this:

Bella is drowing, she sees Edward most clearly, so she starts to give up getting out of the water. He says "No, Bella, keep fighting" etc etc, and she, although this was not her first intention jumping in, is giving up on life without him. Her final line is "Goodbye, I love you". AND THEY LEFT THAT OUT???? WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY DO SUCH A THING???

I was heartbroken. The movie was good for what its worth, but without taking out those key lines, it would've been EPIC!!!!!!

NEW SCREENWRITER, I BEG OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Weitz was just genius.

p.s. Does Kristen have a vocal range of 3 notes??? The Edward break up scene broke my heart -- due to this matter, not to the scene itself ='(

I agree with you on this. I cant understand why exat lines from the book werent used. I mean it makes no sense at all, it wouldnt have made the movie longer. Again, Twilight fans we need to make sure MR is NOT the screenwriter for BD. She will ruien it. Its a complex huge book. God help us if MR writes the script.

Exactly! There was no reason that those lines shouldve been taken out. After months of complete depression and deprivation, she was finally giving up trying to live without Edward, and that did not translate whatsoever. Id rather have some other scene shortened and had the cliff scene be climatic and longer if they had to have it 2 hrs long.This.needed.to.make.me.cry.and.be.the.climax. AND IT WASNT!

Also, I was a bit disappointed with rob's performance. i think hes going a little too far with the seriousness. He needed to be more fierce in her imagination, and his vocal range was the same the entire time -- not enough intonation. But before he left, bella and edward needed to be more cutesy once in a while like real relationships, otherwise, their performances do not make sense and are predictable.

but still, the directing blew me away! gorgeous! CW FOR BD!

Actually she said the "Edward, I love you" but she said it when Laurent was about to kill her. :/

Right, however its irrelevant

I've now seen New Moon twice and it is absolutely amazing!!! There's no words to describe my feelings right now!
All that emotion... it totally blew my mind!

I love CW for making my life so much better!
The cast made an amazing work and I liked every single little thing about the movie!
The music was spot on, even if I didn't like the soundtrack before.

Kristen and Robert! WOW! Edward + Romeo and Juliet lines.. Oh, my heart broke.
Embry/Kiowa with long hair! LMAO! Squeeee! He looked so yummy!
Alice's vision scene was amazing! Lovely!
Victoria... woah... she's fierce.
I loved the wolves! Absolutely fantastic.
Volturi = scary! Michael Sheen is GREAT!

It was a complete package. Absolutely filled all my hopes, expectation and dreams!!!
No matter how much criticism this movie is going to get, it will always stay in my heart and I love it with all my heart!

I could watch it over and over and over again...
Can't wait to get New Moon on DVD!
My all time favorite movie.

Ps. Did they change Edward's legs position in the meadow scene flashback?! It looked like they did! I always thought it looked weird in Twilight... LOL

I could not get enough of this movie it was incredible.... I can not believe all the the negitive things I've heard about the film by movie critics. It starting to get on my nerves because I literally walked out of the theater feeling like it was the best interpretation of any book turned into a movie I have ever seen. And I know that some people might disagree but Chris did an amazing job with this film and I dont think that we could have asked for any more in a movie. As far as the critics go, well the proof is in the ticket sales, because I dont see the mass craziness over this film letting up anytime soon. I LOVED this film sooooo much there are not words to describe how much. Well that's enough ranting lets see my favorite scenes well there were alot of them but one that sticking out in my head is when Alice comes back to Forks and Bella and Jake are in her living room and Bella ask's "your coming back?" and Alice says "as soon as you let the dog out"or something like that. I thought that was soooo funny. Also the beginning of the break up scene when Edward is in Bella's room taking her picture I cried and cried...... and then started all over again when she is just sitting in that chair while the months go by I totally lost it. I'm literally almost crying just thinking about it now..... The Wolf Pack and the Volturi were both AWSOME pretty much what I pictured in my head when reading the books. I think Chris said true to the fans I really apperciate that more than anything else. The critics can say what they want but bottom line is tickets sales will prove them DEAD WRONG !

Well said :)

guys am curious to know did they included the "grand theft auto" ?? in my country its coming out next week plz lemme know

Yes it was :)

LOVED IT IT WAS AWESOME!

First time that I comment :) Just seen the film here in Sweden. Overall....it was great, I absolutely loved it; Kristen did such a great job, way much better than in "Twilight", Taylor aswell and I absolutely loved Alice in this one! However I really didn´t like how Edward looked in this film....he just looked way to old to be seventeen; the clothes were just hidious and looked like the belonged to a very, very old man ( I know, I know...he´s kind of "old" but no need to dress like it, right? ;) )and the make up....uuhh...he didn´t look like he was naturally pale, it really just looked like make up to me. Though the eyes are described as "golden" and they really have that colour in "New moon" I still prefer how Edwards eyes looked in "Twilight". Now you all gonna think I´m unecessary picky but Edwards hair.....shouldn´t be a bit longer? Just a little bit? :)

Am I way out of line here or does someone agree with me; I hope Edward looks a bit more like he did in "Twilight" in "Eclipse

i completely agree about edward's look! he looked too old and his clothes were terrible. sooooo much cuter in twilight. they need to bring back the pompadour and hipster grey jacket! also, i think they messed up aro's makeup. he's supposed to have papery, translucent skin, which was just not the case in the movie. i really hope they remedied makeup and wardrobe in eclipse.

Yes....and one more thing bugged me; it looked like Edward wore lipstick.....Aro aswell! It looked really weird...I sound like such a pessimist, I loved the movie though, i really, really did! But bring back the old "Twilight" Edward please! :)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE MOVIE!!! Rob, Kristen, Taylor and the rest of the cast were wonderful in their roles!!! They all did an amazing job!! The werewolves were just incredible!! They were HUGE and scary! It was shocking how good they came out! Terrific job with those transformations!! I am planning on going back as soon as I get the chance!! Although if I had to give some downfalls it would have to be that one, I didn't care for the change in make-up for the vampires!:( In Twilight they could pass as normal humans part of the time but in New Moon there is no way they could mix in a normal human crowd and anybody believe they were "normal"! It really wasn't that Edward's eyes looked more vampire but more that he was a very sick vampire!! What was with all the blood-shot look? Rob does an amazing job embracing the character and his emotions, he doesn't need the make-up to do it for him! And he almost looked "powder" like and not just pale, I hope on Eclipse they make him not look so Made-Up!! The only other thing I would have to add is that I understand they don't want to make these movies too long but there has been previous movies that were 2 and half to 3 hours long and nobody was disappointed! They had to cut sooooooo much out of the story of New Moon to make it fit their time schedule that I think they lost some of it in the mix. And New Moon is great and they did a wonderful job with what they had to work with on time frame trying to squeeze everything in but I'm afraid if they continue to cut out parts of the story to fit into 2 hours that it will not go over so well next time!:( Even Non-Readers of the books may get lost in the lack of story! I know they are trying really hard to stick with the books as much as possible but if so couldn't it be possible to give these actors and characters the time they deserve to tell their story!!! Make Eclipse Longer!!!
Overall though they all did an AMAZING job and NEW MOON will be my second favorite movie of all time, only next to Twilight!!!:)

I agree....Eclipse needs to be longer and parts of New Moon could have been developed further which in turn would have made the movie run longer. I think it's okay...2-3 hour movie as long as it covers what it needs to.

Running on empty today, saw it at midnight....thought is was well done.
Best Parts:
Rob looked amazing(as usual) and put in a great performance.
Kristen also did a great job as did Taylor.
But I absolutely thought Michael Sheen did a stellar job portraying Aro!-Excellent!Exactly how I pictured it in my mind.
People need to remember that movies are never as good as any book. It's just impossible. I think New Moon stayed on target with the book. I think it's just too hard to put in a movie all of the moments that matter to readers...you'd end up with a 6+ hour movie. There were a couple small things I would have liked to see more of or done differently, but as a whole, I thought it was fantastic.

In the end it doesn't matter if outsiders of twilight love it because the movies make more than enough money with just hardcore or even simple fans of the series. haven't seen it yet but i can't wait!!!!!!!

Alright everyone,

Let me start off by saying that you may not like this post.....

Here's the deal, let me first say that like most of you, I'm a totally dedicated fan. I read the books so many times, I've joined this lovely board and have been posting with you guys for months, and I am a devoted fanfiction reader. If I am being honest here is my rundown:

1. New moon was way to melodramatic for my taste - I really felt like the studio really went straight for the teenage audience. Some of the lines were a bit dramatic and cheesy and could have been expressed with emotion rather than dialogue point in case. The scene when Bella gets between Edward and Jake at the end and says 'don’t' fight because you'll hurt me" way too over the top for me. Another scene, Edward at the Cullens house when they vote, says “Why are you doing this to me?" Again, another scene that was quite melodramatic. People in the theater were laughing at so many parts that were supposed to be intense.....:(

2. The humans were used as comic relief and I think that this is awful considering the fact that Bella’s sharp difference from them, really would have gave insight to her love and devotion to Edward and also tendency to be a bit unconventional.... There could have been some interesting exchanges to show this, but no, they had to use the humans a tool for laughter.

3. 90% of the voluturi, Edward scenes and wolf Pack stuff was shown already... I kept feeling like.... What, when is something big going to happen.

4. The lack of usage cast members was an atrocity!!!!

5. I love Kristen, Taylor and Robert, but the acting was not good to me.... The day to day regular dialogue was great, but when they had to do the dramatic scenes, it was just over the top and cheesy and most important, not convincing...

6. Wardrobe for the Cullen’s were terrible

7. I didn’t' feel the forest scene at all when Bella was left in the woods after Edward left.... Kristen was just lying on the ground to me...

I’m soooo emotional right now.... I will have to come back and post later. I'm very disappointed guys....

Awww! I'm sorry you didn't like the movie. I get really sad when true fans are disappointed. :(

I see where you're coming from, but I loved it. I definitely agree the cast was not used enough aside from the big three. The music is what made it so melodramatic for me...it needed to be turned down.

I'm really surprised you didn't like the acting! I thought they all, Kristen especially, did well even in the dramatic scenes.

I think a lot of the unnecessary dialogue was there just for people who didn't read the book. Who knows.

Running on 3 hrs sleep, must take more No Doze to see it again with my granddaughter later today. We saw Twilight first so got great seats and did not have to move out of the theater for New Moon which the line was to here and gone. Remember Me preview came on also which was amazing on the big screen. You could hear a pin drop during the breakup scene and it was a great audience. Kudos to the 6 guys in the audience that sat among all of us females. Can't wait for the DVD!!

I thought the movie was absoulutly FANTASTIC!!!!. Chris did such a good job. The effcts were amazing, the wolves pretty scary and the sparkle effect was just amazing and how i always saw it in my head. Taylor as AMAZING!!!!!!!. I had my doughts about how he portray Jacob and he had it in him to play such a complex character, but he delivered BABY!!!!!!!. He literally made made me forget about edwad unless he appeard or was brought up. He also made me cry at the end when Bella him that she loves him and basicly dumps him in the woods. Jessica was so hilarios I was crakin up at everything she said. I that seen with Eric crying during Romeo and Juliet was EPIC! Charlie was amazing as well. Billy Burke did an amazing job, and he was funny The whole ladies man line was guiness. I have to say I was a little dissapionted with the score in some parts. I really like the song played during the "Marry Me Bella" and of course the "The Meadow" but other than that I think I perferred the the music boeng used in the traliers. I was also a litkle dissapionted with Alices vesion Of Bella And Edward. I was way to chessy Everyone satretd to crackup in the that scene. I was a little dissapionted with the way the scene after Volterra played played out, this was my favorite part in the book and I really love all of the dialoge and I was alomost certian that it would be in the movie, I was really looking foward to watching edward explian heis love for Bella with the "Before YOu Bella" quote witch is one of my favorite quote from the entire serious. I really liked the Voting scene at the end and how Bella was like "SHUUT UP" she deffenantly had some major humorios parts in the movie. the Volturi were amazingly cast, Micheal Sheen was briliant, I was really truly scared by him he was so sinister and evil yet so polite and calm. Jane was also amazing.
Rob gave an amazing performance. they really showed the stregth of he love he has for Bella witch I think really lacked in the first movie but was just right in this one. They did a great job showing the entensidy that builds in Bella and Jacobs relationship and they ddi a great jb setting up the entre thing fro eclipse. The endidng absolutely killed me. First the movie was over, secong they left us hanging for more. I was so mad I was almost ripping my sisters arm off, but all and all it was a great movie.

I thought it was AMAZING! The movie seemed short even though it was 2 hours. Would've liked to have seen some of the scenes extended, and more of Edward and Bella talking at the end. But can't complain...except for the ending!!! What's up with that??? I was like, the scene doesn't end there in the book. I even looked up that scene in the book and saw where they left the movie "I stared at him waiting..." Seriously????? Where's the rest???? lol. I waited a year to see this, now it leaves me there, and I have wait another 8 months before I can see my favorite, "Eclipse". I wouldn't have minded a 3 hour movie to get more! But in saying this...I thought it was AMAZING and I will try to get tix to see it again tonight

I saw New Moon yesterday because here, in Argentine, the release day was November 19th. It was amazing!!! The movie is really made for the fans now, the emotions you experience when you read the book are totally captured in the movie, yes, it is a little bit slow, but... that´s the way the book is writ and we love it! right? lol
I agreed with the comments that says that the last part was too short, but well... It´s a long book!
I loved the climax part where everything was happening at the same time, the werewolves hunting Victoria, Harry having a heart attack and Bella jumping from the cliff.... it was the only part where the music really captured the moment.
That´s one thing in which Twilight is better than New Moon... the soundtrack.

Totally agree. The TWILIGHT score by Carter Burwell and the TWILIGHT songs were a trillion times better than New Moon. The music in New Moon was drekky. So bad, I couldn't believe it. And Alexandre Desplats is usually wonderful, so don't know what was up with that.

It's been a few days since I saw New Moon and my opinion remains the same: it was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I've since talked to 20 people and they all agree. Most of us were so disappointed. Zero passion, zero romance, zero suspense, everything was rushed rushed rushed, the Volturri were ridiculous. The fight in TWILIGHT with Cam Gigandet was way better.

BRING BACK CATHERINE HARDWICKE for Breaking Dawn!!!!!!

All I can say is
AHHHHHHH!

Going back in 3 hours!
SO WORTH NO SLEEP

Its fine though I was on Twi-Adrenaline the whole time!

The wolves were AMAZING

The new contacts annoy me

and I love/hate
how they left off the movie

"One condition
Marry Me."

-Historical crying-

Then BAM
Black screen
Over
:[

LOL

Ok…forgive the lack of Avi but this is my first post here so I didn’t take the time to come up with one. I read you all daily, tho and love this site!

NM was my least favorite book out of the series but I Lovvvvvved this movie! I thought CW did an excellent job of injecting just enough humor into it so that it wasn’t too dark. And the comments about it moving too slow in the beginning? Really? How do you speed up a depression that is so severe it’s as if someone has died?

My “funny faves”: Emmet’s older woman comment, Eric crying during R&J and Mike sleeping (Hys-TER-ical!), Alice’s put-the-dog-out comment, Jasper’s comment during Bella’s vote that he was looking forward to not wanting to kill her all the time….

Hottest moments…that moan during E & B’s first kiss in the parking lot…can’t wait for the DVD to come out so I can replay that moment OVER and OVER! Jacob’s motorcycle instruction - seriously, I don’t understand how the words “clutch” and “brake” can make me pant but they did. The final “almost” kiss btwn J & B, Jeez-O-Pete I just love that boy! Even though I knew the phone was going to interrupt I found myself wishing it hadn’t!

As for the soundtrack…I guess I’m curious as to how many people who DIDN’T like it had bought the soundtrack prior to the movie. I bought it on the first night out and although it took me a few listens to like it (it was so much more mournful than the first soundtrack – as it should be considering the content of the book), I soon loved it. I found myself noticing the music in the movie because I was so intent in hearing where they placed each song. I didn’t find it overwhelming at all. Oh, BTW…did anyone hear if “White Demon Love Song” was in the movie and where it played?

The acting…Taylor, Kristen and Rob…all incredible. I can’t think of anything to say that wouldn’t be an understatement. They all really stepped it up from the first movie and I couldn’t find fault with anything!

The wardrobe: I liked Kristen’s daily wardrobe much better in this movie, and of course, Taylor’s LACK of one was divine! I sort of understand why Rob had a more mature look—he was playing a really heavy role, trying to distance Edward from Bella, and the clothing choice made the difference in mood really stand out. I hated Alice’s wardrobe…I actually wondered a few times if AG was prego and that’s why they put Alice in “smock-like” tops. AG has such a wonderful sense of style in real life that I think they need to let her choose her own clothes in any future filming. Oh, and Bella’s dress during Alice’s vision? Hideous – Bella would have stripped off a shortie, peasant-top dress the minute she realized she was wearing it…ick...it made the entire scene laughable. It was the only scene in the movie that “yanked” me out of the moment.

I thought the adaptation was great – it’s so hard to translate long books into movies, but they did an outstanding job on this one. As for the critics who haven’t read the books and didn’t like the movie? I don’t put a lot of stock in their opinion. If they haven’t tried reading the books, as widely touted as they are, they are not open-minded and have some sort of “hate” agenda going on.

All-in-all, excellent film!

white demon was played in the credits....

I loved the movie- I was a bit thrown off by Bella getting on the bike with the random guy, but other than that Chris Weitz gets major kudos!!!!! I can't wait to see it again!

new moon was breathtaking
kristen was amazing she showed so much emotion in every scene, i couldnt imagine anyone as jacob apart from taylor, he played his part so well. It was everything i imagined from the book Chris should feel so proud of his work on this, it had so much feeling and mixed emotions, but for me kristen shined as bella, she showed she was in pain through her eyes she didnt need to be in floods of tears all the time and the jacob wolf was amazing at the end when in wolf form he looks at bella i had tears, he knew he`d lost bella, you could see he loved her i just wanted to tickle him behind the ears so he wouldnt look so sad!

Now i just feel like i need to see it over and over again and buy lots more tissues for that scene where bella sits looking out the window as the months pass by,so sad.
Cant wait for eclipse, i just hope david shows the same intense direction chris has even though at this stage and passion from the actors i cant see them having it any other way, their characters are a part of who they are now.

To me this movie was epic, there will never be anything like this ever again.

i havnt seeen the movie, so whats up with that picture of Edward and bella running in the forest, and theyre dressed like back in the day??? plzzz explain XD

p.s. if it helps im talking about the pic you have as your icon thingy

Hi the picture i have is in Alice`s vision she shows Aro that Bella will become a vampire :)

oh thankyou, but why are they dressed like that? Isnt it supposed to be the future not the past?

that was the most amazing movie ever. I saw it at midnight and I couldn't have waited a minute later! It was so absolutely amazing!

The cinematography was amazing.. Kristen did SUCH a good job.. wayy better than Twilight.

Taylor killed it! I'm team Edward but seriously.. Taylor makes me sway.. he makes me feel sympathy to jake that wasn't there before! He's sooo finneeeee!
And ROB?!? He was amazing.. I was worried you wouldn't miss Edward bc of the "visions" but they were perfect too.. you felt edward's presense just like in the book!

And Alice.. was awesome.. i would want to be her best friend.. i would want to be her sister!

All in all.. I can't wait to see this movie a million more times! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 i adore everyone involved with this movie! eeekkk

OMG I thought it was AMAZING!!! They did an phenomenal job with it. It felt rushed, but that was only because I wished it was longer. :D
I was so happy with everything. I LOVED the ending and it's already got me craving "Eclipse"! :D

i DON'T THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY MORE PERFECT. THERE WAS BETTER DIRECTING, ACTING, CINEMATOGRAPHY AND VISUALS. CHRIS WEITZ IS A GENIUS AND THE CAST WAS AMAZING. FOR ONCE I'M GONNA JUST PUT IT OUT THERE, IT WAS BETTER THAN THE BOOK!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO GO WATCH IT AGAIN!!!

I saw the midnightshow here in Sweden where I live and I cant say anthing else than that it was amazing. I didn´t really think that Kirsten did a fantastic job in Twilight, but in New Moon. WOW! I didn´t think that she could show the pain that Meyer is writing about but there I sat och cried my eyes out :P

Taylor was amazing, Robert was amazing, EVERYONE was amazing. I have already bought another ticket to see it again ;)

omgggg....seriously?!
definitely 50x better than Twilight!! Chris should have directed TWILIGHT!

Robert Pattinson is soo beautiful I cant even talk about it!! cannot wait to see whats in store for this fella in Eclipse!! OHHH REMEMBER ME in the previews?! omg cant wait to see that!!

Not a big jacob fan but I LOVE TAYLOR LAUTNER! hes gorgeous & and he NAILED it!!

Kristen did a million times better in new moon, she obviously took notes as she watched twilight as to what to fix!! i've always been a fan of hers, but i will admit in Twilight she was kinda weird.. but definitely improved!!

LOVEEEEEE CHARLIE.

ALICE IS AMAZING, wish i had a sister like her!!

Jasper.still kind of a creep to me lol but was pretty funny in this one! glad he got a bigger part in this one!!

Rosalie was lookin a hotttt mess in this movie..i think she was prettier in Twilight, but i guess thats the makeup crew that screwed that one up!

Wolf Pack= fluffy! i am PRO-VAMPIRE , but for goodness sakes those wolves are sexy! lol..

ahh definitely seeing it again next week!!!

These are the times NM is playing in my city.. literally almost every half hour.. i don't think anything else needs to be said..

10:00am 11:00am 11:30am 1:00 1:30 2:00 2:30 3:30 4:00 4:30 5:00 5:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OME same here!!! And i live in California USA

ITS CRAZZYYY XD

p.s love your name

The only thing that bugged me about the movie was the fact that they changed the way Harry Clearwater had his heart attack. It's mostly because I am totally TEAM LEAH (dear Lord, I love my wolf girl).

I was Team Switzerland before the movie, but oh dear Lord I effing run with the wolves now! TayLau kicked some serious ass.... he IS Jacob Black.

Needed more Carlisle, Emmett and Rose.... but I kow they'll get their time in Eclipse.

Over all, epically amazing. Well done, Mr. Wietz, well done. NM was my least favorite of the books.... but the movie made me want to go back and read it. I hope David Slade steps up and does good with Eclipse, because that is my fave book. I also hope Julia Jones does a good job of portraying my Leah.

Anyways, 'twas awesome. Want to see it again and again and again.

I loved Harry's heart attack! Wow, that sounded heartless.... what I mean is you never have a real scene in the book with Harry - just the spaghetti night at Billy's. Also SM used a lot of foreshadowing leading up to the heart attack. Those little details wouldn't fit with the flow of the movie.

The way CW filmed it solved both of those problems. You get to 'meet' Harry Clearwater - what a great guy! And you see a cause for the heart attack in a very cool way. I loved how he covered up the HUGE paw print! It also makes sense how Charlie and all those hunters are looking for wolves but never find any - what with Harry covering up all the wolfy signs!

Well that's what I thought, that there really was no description of what caused his heart attack. I'm like you, I LOVED it. I love actually meeting him on the screen, which made me feel really sad when he had his heart attack. I love that scene, the heart attack, the chase, and Bella jumping off the cliff, all with that music... SO GOOD!!!

Actually, in the book I understood his heart attack just as well... Sue trying unsuccessfully to get Harry to eat something green. Charlie's phone call to Harry discussing the tests he had in the hospital on his heart. That was enough to explain the heart attack in the book, but those were little details that would have wasted time adding those scenes to the movie. So we end up with the Victoria/wolf/heart attack/cliff montage = perfect!

Ohhh yeah! I totally forgot about that!!! I do agree that that the way it was done in the movie is perfect! So intense and sad! Love it!!

How did they change how Harry's heart attack? I'm confused.

See my reply to Heathyr below yours.

posting this discussion while i'm sleeping.. tricky tricky..
thank god the chaos in my mind has settled.. a tiny bit..
actually a lot, since i have no clue what to say..
and holy eff, like 1000 comments.. that's insane.. i'd read them all but eclipse would be in theatres when i was done..

i really enjoyed the movie, i don't understand why ppl didn't like it? maybe cause it was changed from the book a lot?
i thought it was sorta weird how they switched the last few chapters around, but whatever i guess, i was kind of hoping they would have the scene where Bella cries and thinks shes still just dreaming of edward, but what can you do..

I LOVED THE ENDING.. It was PERFECT.. and I effing called it, I knew they would do it like that.. "Marry Me... *gasp*... BAM BLACK SCREEN" .. told my bf and he thought I was effing crazy.. silly bf, if youre gonna hang with the twi-hards you're gonna need to get used to the craziness

omg! this movie was soo amazing! i saw it yesterday and i was in awe. it was done so beautifully: Chris Weitz. Rob and kristen did phenomonal. sorry team jacob fans but i thought taylor didnt do all that great. everytime robsten would kiss i would get butterflies. it was the best movie i have ever seen(until eclipse comes around)!!!!! kristen: you go girl! she did an outstanding job. she really got into her character. ROB: you were (speechless) omg he was soo amazing. when kristen saves him! omg that part was the sweetest part of the whole movie(also in her room) well anyways the things he tells her when she saves him is just AHHH! this movie also had some funny parts to it too. it was so romantic when rob and kristen are with each other. it makes me wanna cry! lol the wolf pack people say some funny suff. well just letting u ppl know i give it 1000000% A++++++ wish it a longer movie!!!

Well, I have been reading all the posts. Some I agree with and some I don't. Like the old saying goes opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one, HA HA.

I will have to give out a cheer to everyone in the Owensboro KY Malco. It was so quiet through the important stuff, that you could hear a pin drop. It was awesome! OF course there were the moments of screams. Edward's first appearance and most definately when Jacob's shirt came off. OME! I think that boy might have a 12 pack going on there, throw all those other magazine cover men out the window. This boy puts you all to shame! Can't believe he is only 17.

The entire cast just blew me away. I was so proud of them all. The way all the one-liners were delivered, Exceptional!
Kristen, Taylor and Rob, I don't think I have ever seen a movie where each of the main characters performed so well. Each and every emotion that those three went through, you could see it on their faces and in their body language. I cried and laughed the whole time. It was absolutely wonderful!
The CGI, couldn't ask for anything better. I was blown away. Those wolves made me jump in a few places. I was thrilled!
Had to give some serious thought to the ending. When it switched to the black screen. The entire place was silent. I could not stop myself, it just slipped out. I cried "OH NO they didn't!" My daughter was embarrassed because everyone heard me, HA HA.
But....after reading others comments. I will have to agree that it does give a great opening to Eclipse.
I know each of us probably thought of things that we wished had been in the movie, or things that we wish had been done differently. Again this goes back to my first statement about opinions.
All in all, this is one Hale of a movie. I hope Summit thinks on all of this. If that many things were left out of this movie, there is no way in Hale that Breaking Dawn can be made into one movie. There is just way too much going on. They will need at least four hours to get that book onto the screen, if not more.

Come on guys, even with all of our little disappointments, you CAN NOT deny that this is one fan-freaking-tastic movie!

I hope I didn't ramble too much. I have been up since 5am yesterday, it is now after 10am and I have 6 1/2 more hours left at work. I am running on fumes and Red Bull.

Thanking God that he sent Stephenie Meyer to all of us.
Peace, Love and Twilight to you all.

I liked it very much. Loved the end, LOL....
Going back tonight so I can really enjoy it and catch the details I didnt catch last nite after waiting in line for hours.
Over all I am glad New Moon was different from Twilight because it shows a different time. How things change over the summer and how their relationship developed. I loved the first kiss on New Moon at the school parking lot, I dont know why, it was just nice....
I hope David Slade keeps up with the first two.... I will miss Rachel LaFevre...

I think we should start a blog about the scenes from the book that we would love to see in Breaking Dawn... and forward it to Summit! That way they can at least try to include fan favorites ... what are your thoughts?!

I saw New Moon last night after months of anticipation, am having withdrawals after 14 hours, want to go back again!
So much better than the first movie, I definitely think Catherine's additions such as spider monkey and the blue tint were a bonus.
Do however agree with the post transformation scene - why have they gone back in time 100 years fashion wise?! the whole cinema cracked up when it came on! LOVED the ending, just making me wish it was June already!that the change of director made such a difference to the quality of the film - none of
Looking forward to seeing what David Slade will do with Eclipse, but at the moment would love CW to come back again for breaking Dawn

Also have to say loved Kristen way more this time round, she did herself proud!

does anyone know when New Moon comes out on dvd??

yep february is right, i do believe

I heard March, but maybe they'll decide to release it abit earlier. Twilight came out about feb/march last year

february or march.. either month is too long, i want it now!! lol

I heard February 2010.. not sure tho.

Loved the movie - Italy and the whole reunion scene were too short for my liking tho. Lurker for months (love you guys!) but have to comment on one topic being thrown around here. Remember in Eclipse during graduation when Alice was trying to throw off Edward by thinking of translating The Battle Hymn of the Republic in Arabic? I think the "Alice showing Aro the future" sequence is following the same process. Alice is deliberately forcing this "vision" for Aro, so it comes off all light-and-fluffy (hence the flowy garments, etc.) much like Alice's personality. I don't think this vision in ANY way constitutes any real truth for the future. I think if Alice concentrates hard enough - she can see ANY possible future. JMO.

Well in Midnight Sun Edward sees Alice's future vision of Bella being a vampire, which is based on "someone's" decision to change her. So when Aro touches Alice's hand she is showing him this vision that she saw during Twilight.

Omg i loved it so much AMAZING way better than twilight of course. I loved how the soundtrack was so involved in the film and I also loved that i really saw a lot of my man Robbie P. I loved the glimpse of Bella as a Vampire omg everyone in the theater was laughing but I was amazed. I loved the way it ended but i felt it was bittersweet because now we have to wait for Eclipse go twilight!!!! I believe i have to see it way many more times this weekend because I love this movie so much and we need to break many records. The cast were all amazing in it i loved Kellan Lutz performance as Emmett and of course Robbie P. Team Edward all day everyday

just seen it and,,,, i ♥ it!!!!
fortunately, no screaming fans n the theater i got in... (but my theory is that bec. there's less edward=less or no screaming haha) anyway, everyone was cool n calm till we saw jacob took his shirt off *whew* someone literally said HAWT so loud... oh yeah he def. IS! :D

I know they can only do so much in the movie so i guess for me these are just
areas for improvement:

i guess i agree with most comments esp. bout the soundtrack/songs placement and the score hmm it's not bad but not exceptional either, carter's was more like tugging on my heartstrings without being overly cheesy. the score has cheesy all over it which i feel it's not what it supposed to be...

also agree with RobPatzWife on this:
"---I was SO DISAPPOINTED that I didn't see the breakdown Bella had in the book: when Renee came to take her to Florida or when she came back to her room and saw that Edward took all her stuff, especially the latter. In the book, that's when the reality hits her that he really left. Why the Hale did they leave that out?? That part is what had me balling like baby who fell and hit its head in the book."



and, the HIGHLIGHTS for me are:

Rob Patz acting. damn. why is he so good. loved the fight with felix and of course the last part*ending*sigh*. (lookin fwd to more acting fr. him & satisfying myself in his most human form in remember me)

Billy Burke *Charlie* seamless! amazing :D

WolfPack*can't breathe*heartbeatsfast*hawt*

*the ending*sigh*

bein true to the book, esp. the ones that count

i heart the months' thingy too

i ♥ Chris Weitz :)

I guess I'm on Team ChrisWeitz now :))

ok here's my review...
New Moon was so much better than Twilight. the direction, acting, cgi...i was very impressed. I loved the ending. I don't know how many women jumped up like "WTF!? seriously!?" lol the Volturi were amazing (Team Demetri lmao). Also, def liked the the lack of the blue tint. that really irritated me in Twilight.
Overall CW's direction was AMAZING. Def need CW for Breaking Dawn.

just a couple downsides imo...
Alice's vision of Bella post transformation...i think the entire theater cracked up.lol...and occassionally the soundtrack may have taken away from performances. some of the scenes def didnt need the music reinforcement.

but like i said, CW for Breaking Dawn!

I agree with you.
I absolutely LOVED the movie.. I walked out of the theater going "I loved it!" rather than "I really wish that I loved it.. but it just wasn't good." like I did in Twilight.
The Score and the vision Alice had were some of the only complaints I had as well. All in all though, the amount of disappointment I had was close to none, whereas in Twilight, it was very high.

Team Chris Weitz for Breaking Dawn :)

Did anyone record the movie while they were watching it last night?

my bf wanted to, but i wouldnt let him..
and he doesn't even like the saga!

sorry, thats a lie.. as he declared himself team jacob last night at the show... -.-

You are so lucky. i can`t see new moon till 27 nov..that`s the release date in romania:(i hope some1 upl it on internet

And...I'm up....slept from 4-7 and now full day of work....TOTALLY WORTH IT!!...but startbucks here I come ; )

*reviewed it when i got home (LOVED IT) and slept on it (for a bit) and totally still love it!.....(had awesome NM dreams too)

I hear yah about the 3 hours of sleep. It was well worth the wait. I agree with everything posted. I do have to say though that one of my favorite moments was the scene in port angeles with Jessica. Anna K nailed it she was amazing. Everyone and everything was. INFINITY STARS

BRING BACK CATHERINE HARDWICKE, pleez!! Saw NMoon last night and hated it. Couldn't believe how bad it was. The music was so melodramatic and generic, the look of it was rosy and peachy, there was no mood, no atmosphere, no tension, the Volturri looked like a carnival act, when Bella jumped off the cliff which was supposed to be so dramatic she looked like she was jumping off a diving board, there was no fear, it was anticlimactic. The "ghostly" images of Edward looked cheesy, When Alice returned, it was so casual, like should we go to the mall or should we save Edward's life? Ho hum. Twilight was full of memorable scenes; "Hop on Spider Monkey", talking in the tall trees, the first kiss, the baseball game, fighting with Cam Gigandet - New Moon had none of that for me. Twilight had such a reality to it with the raininess of Forks - NMoon was just one anticlimactic scene after the other. A major disappointment. Don't care about ECLIPSE or Breaking D after this. I'll just be happy with the books and TWILIGHT and forget about the rest. It's really a shame because Kristen, Taylor and Rob are so talented but they were let down by a shoddy script and - hafta say it - hack director. There were so many scenes that were supposed to be "scary" but the audience I was in laughed and giggled their way through it. Major thumbs down.

I'm so glad that a lot of you are in agreement with me, me being that I was truly disappointed!
I didn't want to be, believe me, I've been spending months on this board, reading every bit of information about the movie and I couldn't wait for it to come out.

I'm actually really sad! I so wanted to love it and I so didn't, in fact, I kind of hated it!
I never thought I'd say Twilight was a better movie, but guys, Twilight was a better movie to me.
I think they went from a very scattered and casual, albeit creative director, CH (who frankly, I didn't love either but now see she's much better than CW), to an overly polished Hollywood cheesy cheesy cheesy money maker blockbuster piece of crap. Oy.

I hated the makeup in Twilight, and guess what, it was WAY worse in NM!
Honestly, they're spending 90 million dollars, how hard is it to make their skin believable? Pancake makeup piled on, RIDICULOUS.

Their eyes. WTF? In Twilight they stand out but in NM it's like a total freakshow. There's no way the Cullens could live semi-normally in society and look like that! I mean, wouldn't Charlie, at the very least be like, "Um Bella, why does Edward look like a walking corpse with crazy cat eyes?" Seriously.

The 360 pan around Bella when she was depressed...UG. It's fine once or twice, but did they really have to circle her that many times AND have the balls to actually write "October," "November," etc. on the screen? Clearly time was passing, fall leaves, Charlie raking, snow, etc..we get it, what, do they think we're idiots?

Kristen was generally good, but certain things like her gasping when she sees Edward appear for the first time, cringeworthy.
Her screaming in bed, I could tell it would be embarrassing from the trailers, and yes, by God, it was embarrassing. Sorry.

Edward "ghost." Hated it. So cheesy. I know they had to show him because people would have had a stroke if they didn't but the voice alone is SO much more compelling, and less cheesy. It was like a weird hologram/ghost, that comes in and goes "poof." Dumb.

The music. Hated it. I like a lot of the songs they used but they felt so wrong in the scenes they matched them with.
And the score was total schlock, really, like totally generic Hollywood garbage, and frankly, a little embarrassing in parts, especially when they were leading up to something "scary," like Victoria in the water...it was like Jaws or something!

Jessica was awesome.

I can't believe how little screen time Victoria got.

The screen time the other characters got, mostly the Volturi, was so disappointing. Aside from his clown skin, Aro had the most, and I enjoyed him to a degree, but the others were on screen for like, 3 minutes. And Jane? Everyone keeps saying how insanely creepy and scary she is. You know why? She has big red contacts on. That's it. I didn't find her scary in the least, none of them, actually. And I don't even get why they needed Dakota for that role, I guess to bring in more $$ and appeal but the role was nothing, any half decent actor could have done it.

Oh guys, I could go on and on and on. I am NOT a hater, I wanted to love it so much but I just didn't!

wow....you are definitely not the Rule....you are the Exception.... I don't know if 1 person will agree with you....esp. the "spider monkey" quote....ouch....

well to each their own I guess

Haha!! 'Spider monkey!' What's funny about that is CH came up with like 5 lines and let Rob chose, and that's what he chose. Of course you can't blame him - the others were way worse!

A good point was brought up earlier... All the 'gray faces' showing up all of a sudden are huge CH followers. My personal opinion is they are all either CH herself or her minions trying to win her BD.

We must stand up and fight!!!

CW for BD!!!!!
CW for BD!!!!!
CW for BD!!!!!
CW for BD!!!!!
CW for BD!!!!!
CW for BD!!!!!

totally agree that all the grey faces are CH supporters....wth?...they all just came out of the woodwork....


we will not go down without a fight!!!...

go CW!!

totally agree with you! spider monkey quote...that was soo gay! lmao

NEW MOON was amazing!

Hi everyone-

Well, I haven’t seen the movie yet, will in 2.5 hrs tho  very excited.. but I wanted to share something with everyone – it just shows how amazing the Saga is…

I am at work and about 5 minutes ago the Partner I work for tells me he has to leave because he has to take his daughter to some “vampire movie!” – Supposedly she has a “family event” today – at least that’s what she told the school so she could get out and he has to take her… the funny part about this is that… I took half a day off today for a “doctor’s appointment” – in actuality I’m going to see NM lol …

Just hoping I don’t see my boss and his daughter there! It is playing every half hour so hopefully he’ll drop her off in the parking lot lol… Just thought it was funny and wanted to share… kisses…

P.S. Going tonight again and dragging my hubby with me!!

*hehe*.. I saw it... AND there were tons of guys!!.. TONS... BY THEMSELVES TOO!!.. it was pretty funny to me.. but @ the smae time.. i was like.. Finally!!.. MAN EVOLVES!!

ROFL!! I was wondering about teachers, b/c I know the age group of women who read the Saga and most teachers are readers - I was just curious if there were any who would go to the midnight showing (I was at the school yesterday for a conference & thought of this). Well, I stood in line and ended up sitting next to these 3 women who were in their 40's - 50's and were total fanatics. They each had one of the books with them and they were watching TL on an ipod while we waited for previews. Come to find out they were all elementary school teachers! They had about a half hour ride back home and then had to get up and teach in the morning - they were awesome!!

my sister had that she has been off sick for 3 days really poorly bless her and i told hertough she has to come still so she felt a little better came anyway and bumped into the receptionist i had to laugh her face was priceless x

that is hilarious... luckily i got in and out without seeing her lol... :) and went again last night with my husband - btw he loved the action scenes.. and as you can imagine wasn't that fund of all the "slow" or as i would call them "juicy" parts lol..

ha ha good for him well done on getting away with it btw lol my hubby has started to look interested so i think i may be ok when the dvd comes out for a few days anyway oh the joys of working nights while he works days ha ha my poor children x

it was good but i dont think ill be happy untill someone does a full movie on everything in the book which wont happen lol.

Havent seen it yet (seeing it Sat nite with my bf...who is 27 and actually wants to see it!)

Thought this was interesting; i like to see critics reviews as well as yahoo users.

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810055802/info

Avg grade from the critics is a C! I was suprised at wat some ppl said abt it. Although a lot of negative comments were by people who didn't read the books. Check it out

I absolutely LOVED the movie! I saw a midnight showing by myself and am going with a group to see it tonight.
Charlie's sense of humor kills me. He reminds me of my dad. Jessica outside the movie theater was great. I wish they showed more of Bella's revelation that she wasn't the heroine anymore and how zombie like she had become, but it was still good.
Jacob. OMJ. Taylor pulled off an awesome Jake. I'm glad they kept in the age discussions, but kinda disappointed they took away some of the interactions like the warm sodas in a bag and the valentine's day hearts. It woulda been nice to see the developing friendshid instead of a montage of scenes.
In the kitchen when he talks Quileute to her. WOW. Im pretty sure he says something like "I love you", but its hard to say since only like 4 people in the world still speak the language.
The movie with Mike & Jake = priceless. Mike looks a lot older than he did in twilight. He lost some of the roundness to his face.
MORE WOLF PACK PLEASE! lol There needed to be more of Bella spending time with the wolves and her showing her comfort with them.
WTH was with Rosalie's hair? You could tell it was a wig, especially during the voting scene. Her apology wasn't nearly intense enough and the plane ride was missing.
At first I was confused with all the emails and stuff to Alice. It took a minute to actually realize what was going on with that.
Overall it was an awesome movie and I can't wait to see it again to pick up on things I missed the first time.

ENTRANCE:

*frolics towards the post*

tee hee.. sorry.. I had to do that. ^_^

ok, I haven’t seen the posts of other people but here are some of my thoughts about the movie:

1. Kristen rocked it. Outstanding performance from her. way, WAY better than in Twilight. Proud of her!

2. Rob i’ve missed u there, which is good. WAY better performance from u too. I love the distraught look u gave the whole entire movie.

3. Taylor played Jacob very, very well. Im in awe. --- im still Team Edward though. tee hee.. ^_^

4. Billy Burke just stole the movie for me. he’s too awesome as Charlie.

5. The humans are awesome too! I didn’t feel Christian’s presence though.

6. I just love the cinematography. CW is just awesome on that part. the songs from the soundtrack are just all over, which I really loved. Though some of it I didn’t feel like it shouldn’t be there. But that’s just me.

7. The movie was funny! love, love, love the humor in it!

8. Way to include Harry in there. That’s nice.

9. I love the sparkling! WAY better in NM. ^_^

10. I love the CGI wolves than the wolf guys. Im sorry but I didn’t really feel the presence of the latter. But that’s just me again.

11. It’s lacking some lines that I think is important to be said, but then again it’s NOT the book right? ^_^

12. Alice was supposed to be like “I cant be near a werewolf” and yet Jacob is like in her face. Hmmm..

13. I love that they included the age banter. i miss "sure, sure" though...

14. Rachelle was awesome there despite the small scenes from her.

15. The ending for me is kinda off? That’s just me again.

16. Frolicking, frolicking, frolicking… ^_^

17. I cant think of anything else.. hehehehehe. So…

18. Overall the movie for me was too freaking GREAT!!! ^_^

*frolics out of the post*

hehehehehe ^_^

like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,like,

yeah... i dont recognize them too. i guess others have already talked about it here. oh well. hehehe

*shrugs* hey i suppose we got some new recruits to the site so they must have liked the film if they felt compelled to comment here,
I can't wait to see it again i just hope they put the air con on this time it was waaay too warm last night

hahahaha. how come? i wasnt here last night and i have yet to read the whole post. might take a while though. hehehe

yeah there seems to be a few and most of them didn't seem to like it so much

*sigh*
well we like different things right? the movie has flaws but i still LOVED it including those flaws... ^_^

Marie... You are my freaking mind twin! I felt exactly the same!!!
I love you!!!


like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

Did anyone else hate the frolicking? Ugh!

LMAO!! The frolicking was a bit funny. Everyone in our theater laughed at it.

TSO! What did you think of it overall? A few people in my theater laughed at Alice's vision. I didn't think it was THAT bad. It was better than Twilight's hospital scene. I didn't cringe when they were running, to each her own. *shrugs* I hope by the time they film BD, Bella will be "darker" as a vampire.

I looooved the movie. I'm glad they had a bunch of direct quotes. I felt all the key points were in there. I wish they wouldn't have changed some things like when Edward calls and Jake answers... Jake should have said it was Carlisle like in the book Edward said he was Carlisle over the phone.

But like I said I absolutely loved the movie. I have no negatives to say about it. I think CW did an amazing job. I do want them to get rid of MR though.

Frolicking.... everyone in our theater laughed. I thought it was cute but cheesy. I hope that's not what it will actually look like come BD when she turns.

*sneaks in*
i agree about the phone thing. i was thinking about that during the movie actually. now it looked like jacob is totally getting in between B and E for that. like he didnt want for bella to talk to edward which is not the case really. but instead he said "he didnt ask for u!" oh well.. i guess we'll be all over the love triangle by eclipse huh? ^_^

oh an interesting scene in the end where the Twitrio are in the woods, when bella said "i love u so dont make me choose bcoz it's him. it's always been him" -- i thought she'd say that in eclipse though it's pretty clear to jacob bella's feelings towards her. but thats just me.. ^_^

*sneaks out*
^_^

Some parts were either a WTF moment or why is that in here? But overall I think it's leagues better than the first. I'm glad they got the sparkle f/x right this time. Jake answering the phone really ticked me off. Not even letting Bella talk on HER phone in HER house. So arrogant of him. CW did a great job, if Summit would have given him a larger budget I'm sure a few of the scenes wouldn't have felt rushed to me personally. I would not have minded one bit if it was 2 and a half hours. I wanted the scenes in Italy to go on longer and no plane ride back to Forks?

Yeah! i felt some parts were rushed too. The missing plane ride was hard for me to accept too!

They didn't even show Alice and Bella ON the plane to Italy. I wanted to see Alice call Jasper and beg him not to follow her. I am happy with how it turned out though, rushed or not. Now I'm curious how Eclipse to turn out with MR's shoddy writing behind it. She needs to go!!!!!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! You are so brave! I would have never attempted to go out in public like that. Props to you girl. I'm dying here hahahaha

The best part is that it was in broad daylight. People would try not to laugh but they couldn't help it. The highlight was me standing in the middle of that packed theater in my shamantie glory and handing out the extra crowns to the crowd.

That was the best costume I've seen for the premiere. I really like what you did to your shirt. Thanks for sharing!!! :)

Thank YOU my dear!

Did anyone else from here go with you?

Yeah! It was CC(MiamiCoven's Jane), HelloKitty99X, TeamThePlayButtonIsEvil and myself. ILW, Patsy and (Jenny)IrunWithVampires couldn't make it though.

That's awesome you guys live so close to each other. I don't have that where I live so I guess I'm in a coven of one. lol

LMAO! You just reminded me of the hangover...
I was a one man wolf pack and then I met you and we were a two man wolfpack... Hahahha

LOL Maybe I should make a new name, the MarblePoleCoven.

Oi! I'd love to join that coven!!

I really like my current name but I am really tempted to change it.

Your name says so much in so few words. I love it.

:) It is *perfect* I can't delete it. Ok, thanks again for the pictures, I gotta go to work. boooo lol Talk to you later.

did it make it clear that it was rose that phoned edward and told him because i missed that bit she just said sorry at the end but they didnt show inbetween that it was rose that told him did i miss that?

No you didn't they did not make it clear. You are correct!

thankyou for helping clear that up it was bugging me a little is the only thing my sister asked (as a none book reader) so i said about rose telling edward and she said oh i missed that bit but i really didnt think we did lol oh well ;0)

just remembered... When Alice told Bella Edward was going to kill himself she also said Rose told him where I was. So I guess they kinda mentioned it.

ah so i could have just missed it that cool its one of those things that just bugs you know i kept trying to cover it but couldnt lol still loved it though hee hee :0)

OMFG those pics are fab i met a few fellow fans through friends but didnt think of seeing if there was any nmm.orgers near me lol think i need to up my game you look like you had so much fun man wish i had thought of it ;0)

Plan for Eclipse. Start looking for girls in your city now. It's never too early.

i agree i only live in a tiny corner rite on the south east coast though my nearest city is miles away lol oh the hardship of a small seeside town :0)

Thanx for saying that, I was starting to think I'd imagined that in the utterly shocked state I was in after Edward crushing the phone!

when I saw him crush the phone... I saw crushed and splintered headboard!

when I saw him crush the phone... I saw crushed and splintered headboard!

I hadn't thought of that but I will now! I was really upset for him but the next time I see it I'll probably start sniggering! (Feathers!) That's always got to me, the thought of Edward all alone, heart broken and hearing that Bella was dead over the phone and the movie really got that across. The look in his eyes was painful.

It was soooooooo cheesy . I cringed. I was like hoping for something so much better.

really??? eeeeekkkk!!! thats awesome! and thank u for the "likes". i feel oh so special now... *blushes*

oh i forgot to add though, CW for BD!!!!! ^_^

How many times must I tell you how truely special you are!?!?...

I guess one more time couldn't hurt!..

... you don't understand how much you mean to me!!...

*big bear hugs*

*gasp*
popper!!!! i am so sorry for the late reply! *sniff* i was over at twitter.. *bangs herself with laptop* ugh! =(

*giggles*
awww.. u've watched the movie!!! how was it? did u liked it? did u read my post already? lame huh? hehehehe ^_^

*squeeee*

Yes I saw.. not lame!.. stop hurting urself.. i needs you!.. lol..

IT was AWESOME!.. yes.. i had a few issues, but only one big one.. the order of the ending.. THE REST!!.. FABULOUS!

HATED: Frolicking outfits!.. hmm.. really?!..
AND i hate when ppl answer other ppl's phones!!.. in real life, it was fine for the movie.. *hehe*..

LOVED:Jacob STAYED!!.. YES, STAYED!!!.. (so bite me!)... and the touching of los lovios.. mmm.. mmm.. *still wondering how that tasted!*.. prob.. DELICIOUS!

Fav line: " Things will get very ugly around here!".. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!.. i LAUGHED SO HARD.. He was serious & it was not a serious line, Grandpa? when did u get here!? .. TOO FUNNY!

hahahaha. ok, ok. i wont do that anymore. *bites lips* hehehe. ^_^

yeah, the ending was like "thats it? but she's supposed to say yes!" i guess thats for Eclipse huh? darn.. ^_^

hahahaha. im in love with the frolicking now! *points to name* not really the "prince and princess" kind of outfits it was soooooo cheesy but man! i loved it! i cant stop laughing at that part! even when i watched 2nd time around, too funny! i was like "awwww... bahahahaha" --- yeah. im crazy like that. ^_^

yeah. the phone thing is kinda disturbing. he should've said that it he didnt know it was CARLISLE but instead he said "he didnt ask for u!" --- now it looked like jacob meant for bella NOT to get edward's call. mean jacob! mean! hehehehe

los lovios? sorry.. blonde moment here. hehehe

oh my fave line was "once/when u put the dog out." ---- brilliant! totally LOL at that part! damn! hehehehe. i love that one too! jacob being too grumpy. tee hee... ^_^

Oh, i forgot.. I loved the previews even more now, they actually were nothing like the movie.. that keen mr. weitz.. *sigh*.. i love him..

I didn't like the order.. after the cullens.. he should have proposed somewhere there.. or something & then on the way home.. the Jacob ending.. w/ the last line.. i will see him again or something real cheesy!.. lol.. I did like that she sparkled.. sparkling.. totally awesome!!

hey, they didn;t make Jacob a total a$$ either in the breakup scene like they should have.. I guess so non twilighters will actually like him.. idk..

wow!.. I am so tired I spelt that wrong..
los labios..

isn't it funny how that kinda spelt the same as .. lobos.. but I'm must be making that connecting for obvious reasons.. lol!..

*still wondering what that taste like!*.. lol..

yeah. the order in the ending is kinda messed up for me. he shouldve proposed when they left the vamp house, i agree. cliff hanger! hehehe.

and i wish that human jake the tears instead of wolf jake. now im liking wolf jake more. he can cry! hehehehe. and yes, a little more mean words from him in the "break up" scene would be awesome. no wonder bella asked "for what?" when he came to her bedroom. i would be confused too! i'll be like "u're sorry bcoz i sent me home?" ---- hehehehe ^_^

but i love that bella sending alice some failed emails. it made me think that she really is still thinking of edward which is right. ^_^

lobo - wolf right? ^_^ hmmm.. u and ur taste buds are making my mind go nuts. go to bed now missy! we can talk more about that NM next time. there's always a next time. *wink* night popper! *edward hugs* mwah! love u! ^_^

WooHoo!!! I would love a colaboration between CW and DS!!
Team Slaitz or Team Weiade or Team Chrivid or Team Davris
for BD!!

*double takes on the words*

WOW. now thats a mouthful! hehehehe. i know right?! those two could make wonders for BD! DS for the bloody birth scene and CW for the Isle Esme and the talk, talk, talk in the end. hehehehe ^_^

Yes! We are totally on the same wave length right now.
I say Team CWDS for BD and no MR!

awesome!!!! i love that better! woohoo!!! im all for the TEAM CWBD!!! ^_^

oh and i gotta say, i love the part where alice said "once u put the dog out." that gets me everytime! hehehehe. and i love where paulex said "sorry..." awwww.... soo cute! *giggles*

OME! 2 of my fave parts! hahaha! Marie... are you living in my head?!
I loved the dream sequence at the begining with Bella Edward and Gram.

u love that too? awesome! i cant get over it! it was too funny! hehehe. and it's weird, i was like getting all depressed too when it show the month thing but people are just laughing at it. weird. hehehe.

oh yeah! me too!! the sparkling was awesome!!! i thought that robward was gonna kiss granny. but sadly no. that wouldve been awesome! *wink* i was like "kiss! kiss! kiss!" hahahahahaha ^_^

Didn't he kiss her hand, tho? I swore I saw him do that....

yup! he did! but i was expecting a kiss in the lips.. tee hee... ^_^

Don't let Popper hear you... she'll start singing kiss the girl again. hahaha

*gasp*
uh oh.. dont want that to happen. yikes! *bites lips* hehehehe.

god i love that movie! i want to watch it again! eekkk!!! i wish for more wolves though. i mean there was tons of wolves but i want to see the wolf guys. *pouts* hehehehe

Ditto! I wish some of their scenes were a little longer. Just a little.

yeah.. more bonding from the wolves woukd be awesome right? i felt that jacob was a little separated from the pack.

and my god! i just cried in break up scene and the part where bella said "it's him. it's always been him." im like "OMG. ouch!" then the wolf jake got all teary and i was like "really, really ouch!" i want to hug jake that time. *sigh*

Yeah....I wanted to cry for Jake to and I'm a die hard Team Edward fan and before I saw that part in the movie, I never felt like Ouch or crying for Jake's benefit.

awww.. why not? i feel for him that why i cried a bit on that part. it's kinda personal. tee hee.. ^_^

Oh no, I think you miss understood, what i am sayin is --when I read the books I never felt like I was on the verge of tears ever for Jake. I felt it for the 1st time watching the movie. I felt his pain man.

really? wow. well i could understand that. seeing it is really different from reading it huh? WAY better that picturing the "look" he's giving. hehehe. well it goes both ways for me. i mean reading the books was WOW. really got me. seeing the movie, another WOW though not so much on the movie. like teary. hehehe ^_^

srsly!! Get out of my head! hahha

ok, ok! i will get out from ur head now! jeez... hahahahahaha. i love wolf jake now! he made me cry! bahahahahahaha ^_^

You're still there! You're still there! LMAO!

*gasp*
really?
*looks around, panic mode*
awww man! how do i get out of this thing???
*bangs the brain wall*

*snickers... that's what he said*

hahahahaha. this is fun! me being in ur brain. my first time to be in it! im kinda liking it here too! not too icky and all.. despite the brain that im sitting on. hehehe ^_^

CHECK OUT THE EXCLUSIVE NEW MOON INTERVIEW TEASER ON YOUTUBE!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEs6HdF4P4M

so i saw it and i really liked it the performances were really good, especially with taylor, i think he did an amazing job, but the one thing i don't understand and maybe it's because i've read all four of the books more than 3 times but why in some review's they say it's to slow when in my opinion i think they should've kept it three hours like they originally intended because i thought that it was to fast paced, even though it was longer than 2 hours it still felt rushed to me the story just went to quickly, it kinda felt like it skipped to parts and other than that the only other part that bothered me was at the end of the movie when bella told jake that she loved him, that isn't suppose to happen till eclipse, but other than that the movie was really good, and i'm going to see it again later this afternoon, ooohhh, can't wait

As for what Rotten Tomatos had to say: GO SUCK YOURSELF! YOU'RE A BUNCH OF MARSHMELLOWS MAN!!

I won't say too much; because EVERYTHING has already been said to a degree....but

CHRIS WEITZ IS A MOVIE MAKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I UTTERLY DEMAND CHRIS FOR BREAKING DAWN!

Have you EVER seen a movie that so CLOSELY devotedly followed the book?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It was BRILLIANT!, CAPTIVATING!, PERFECT!, BEAUTIFUL!................

It was heartbreaking: The break up...UGH!,
The Zombie state of mind: Kristin HIT IT SPOT ON!........Edward: He was incredibly beautiful!

There was humor! I went from crying to laughing to biting my nails...to laughing again...GREAT one liners! Alice: PERFECT! Jasper: PERFECT!, Carlisle: PERFECT!....

OME! MAD MAD PROPS to Taylor Lautner!!!!!!!!!! BOY CUT. IT. UP.! This was just....FLAWLESS! BEYOND COMPARE!!!! IMMACULATE!!!

I could go on and on and on and on!.............But I'll tell ya what!: Summit had do WHAT F@CKIN' EVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET CHRIS TO DIRECT BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!

And in the words of Forrest Gump: " That's all I'm gonna say about that!"..........

;-)

With that being said, and I agree with you to a point, with the right screenwriter and the right director. BD can be amazing! If we keep MR it will not be, it will be rushed and who knows what. If CW has a better screen writer I know NM reviews would have been so much better.

clickes like a thousand times very well said i would like to add alot of people a saying about aro seeing the flash forward of e/b and i ahve to say i like it it reminds me of bellas dream of her and edward when she says about the anneofgreengables thing dunno if i said that rite lol anywho well said lapushxx

Also not to bag on the movie at all, but I thought the scene where Aro probes Alice's mind and he see Bella and Edward running through the forest in "Gossamer Couture" was really funny. I busted out laughing. It reminded me of Hansel and Gretel for some reason. Also ARO.....super, creepy, weird, amazing.At the end of the movie the was a universal.."Oh s!#@@$". My mom was so funny. She is like "Let' s go yo the 3am one."I mean she was like a little kid. So I have been up all night.

That's CLASSIC!

YEah...that scene was very "Jack & Jill".....Made me laugh too!!...

GOOD FOR YOUR MOMMA!!!! Live it up!!! Lord knows we've waited long enough!

Okay I haven't seen it yet but I've been reading reviews on it and I thought this was funny:

"None of these criticisms matters to the fans, of course, who will eat it up; it's been well established that the "Twilight Saga" is unstoppable, no matter what its weaknesses are"

They are right we will see it over and over even if we dont think its perfect because its our beloved books onscreen. I mean how many of you have seen twilight more than once? And we all know it was not Oscar worthy but once again its part of our saga.

Of course!!!
I didn't think that the movie made justice to the books.
But that doesn't mean that i wont see it again.
And again... and again... and again...

It is still very worth seeing :)

I think in order for us to feel like the movies live up to the book they'll the actors would have to read directly from the books word for word but your right we will see these movies over and over again!

don't get me wrong. i loved the film but it wasn't good enough at the same time.
1st. dialogues were lame in many places.

2nd. they cut some scenes in mid way and it cut the flow of info.

3rd. ashley green was not so good actress, she needs to try better next time. also kristen as bella was flat in some places. a lot of acting was pretty bad. The only brilliant ones were billy burke and tylor lautner. Love them.

4th. they should show more drama when alice has got a vision, you know, that blank, glazed over look.

5th. bella and eddie in the forest. WTF??? bella as a vamp supposed to be sophisticated, beautiful, like rosalie, not like snowwhite or alice from oz. whole cinema just burst out laughing from all the wrong reasons.

6th. and the biggest dissappointment was music, or a lack of it. Carter burwell has done amazing job and he should stay. The score and songs were terrible. When supermassive black hole was playing in twilight, everyone was cheering.

On the good side the visual part was a lot better. Gottalove the wolves.
Despite all af this, i will go and see it again.

So my movie was like 15 minutes late and I wanted to die! I was counting down the minutes and then I was counting the minutes it took to actually get on the screen. lol. I was soooooooooooo happy with new moon. Chris like saved the saga. (Twilight didn't do it for me) I loved the movie because it's Twilight, but I didn't like it....I don't know if I'm making any sense. lol but yeah New Moon was just awesome. I am seeing it again On Saturday, so I will give my final thoughts then.

I have always loved Rob, so he was awesome.

But Taylor was AMAZING! I'm Team Edward, and I didn't feel as bad for Jacob when I was reading the books....but Taylor made my heart hurt in soo many different scenes....and I'm soooo happy with him! He was amazing! and does anyone know what he says to bella in the kitchen in quileute? That was absolutely beautiful and made my heart melt qand i have no idea what it means! lol

Wolfpack was hilarious! (and delicious) Sam and Emily....awwww!

Kristin Stewart was absolutely beautiful! I have to admit that she didn't win me over with her performance in Twilight (actually Taylor didn't either) but any doubts I had are GONE! She was amazing.

It was like they all got acting lessons, because it was soooo mcuh better the the awkwardness in Twilight.

And Rachelle was soooooooo awesome. She didn't have 1 single line in the movie and her scenes were some of my favorites! She is the true Victoria and was absolutely incredible. and beautiful and fierce. Summit can eat crap for replacing her. Eclipse was her movie and she would have killed it. For me Eclipse wont be as good, because of her replacement.

Ummm I think that's all I have to say for now. I will come again Saturday and see if after the second time watching it i have complaints. (I have one or two right now but will keep them to myself until Saturday)

If you haven't seen it already, you need to go see it ASAP! lol

This is what I put on ew.com.

I am a Twilight fan, but I will try to be fair about this. There were parts that I loved and parts that I detested.

Non Twilight Fans/Females: C+
Non Twilight Fans/Males: D

Devotion to Book: D
Acting from Holy Trinity: A-
CGI: B
Direction and Pacing:C+

Overall for Twilight Fans: B

Totally agree with your assessment, maybe a C- instead of a D on devotion to the book though.

OME! Rated a D on devotion to book?! :-( Please explain! I thought it followed really closely with the book.

Other than that I agree with all your ratings

Maybe I was being a bit harsh. The last twenty minutes of the movie? The bedroom scene lasted two seconds and cut out so much important dialogue, the vote, and the ending.

I still liked it for the most part, but they effed up my bedroom scene.

As soon as they had the conversation in Italy, I knew the bedroom scene and meteor speech wouldn't happen. I was disappointed the proposal wasn't in the bedroom. It seems all the movies try and take a lot of scenes out of Bella's room. :(

I agree. When I heard him start saying that he lied to her and that he loved her and they were still in Italy, I started getting that "oh, no" feeling. And then the bedroom scene was fairly non existent.

I didn't really mind the proposal being at the end, I kinda liked the cliff hanger. It was something fresh and exciting I thought. I just didn't like it directly right after the almost showdown scene that was so intense.

It just didn't flow right for me.

But all in all, especially up until Italy, I was loving the film. CW was great.

Agreed. I loved the Volturi, Aro was amazing. I wish they were all in Eclispe

True, there should have been more of a reunion but the time constraints were absurd. That story needs at least three hours screen time. Blame Summit. Lets see what the extended scenes on the DVD have to offer us! Maybe a little, "..it was the blackest kind of blasphemy."

I loved it, and there were having 3 am showings in my area so my mom and I sat it twice. Team Jacob all the way. There were so many people there that we had to hike to our car.

Things that bothered me:

1. Edwards cheesy slow-motion entrance. We already saw him in the dream scene! Why make it that slow? To show the new Volvo?

2.Edward always looking down.

3. Leaving Aro while Heidi was escorting their human meals in, there was TODDLERS in the line to be eaten! I was seriously bothered by that!

Other than that it was great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=707TGIiGTmw&feat...

One of the after parties, NYC or is it LA's not sure ..

anyway, god ... freaking love rob for turning his head every few secs to check on kristen..that's adorkable...

I noticed that too, so sweet.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the movie was a FAIL. Rosenberg should have never been allowed to write the scripts for the saga.
God, only two more books to go, and one is a total mess. Think I'm gonna lower my expectations for these movies even more, like I did with HP.

I cant believe you thought it was a fail.

I loved it.

Yeah, there are a couple of wrong things and MR sucks as a script writer, but don't think about it so much. Just love it the way it is.

Final review.

I'm exhausted. I have to see it again before I really decide if it works or not. It is hands-down, better than Twilight. However, there are too many problems with the script and too many problems with the editing. Summit is incredibly lucky they have these actors to carry this film because it would really be ish if these amazing actors weren't a part of it.

MR cannot do BD. It's not the direction. It's the script. She absolutely needs to go. I hope enough people agree with me and it reaches Summit before that hack gets into it. She will ruin the film.

I'm afraid for Eclipse, because it is my favorite and, unlike the other books in the saga, it has a logic to it that can't be tampered with. If you delete one scene in Eclipse, you literally ruin the film. So I'm truly fearful of that.

She was a terrible choice for the screenwriter right from the start, and it still puzzles me why Summit stuck with her after Twilight, they're cheap, simple.

i am completely in love with this movie! it was awesome. I do have one question though. Does any one have ANY idea what Jacob said to Bella in the kitchen during their almost kiss scene? I know that he said it in real Quileute, and I know it was along the lines of love, but what did he say? The Quileute word. It was so quick, and such a heart felt whisper that I couldn't catch it. That and the fact that I and ever one else in the theater started to choke up right about then.

From what I found online, "Que Quowle" means "Stay with me forever"

Im dying to find out too!

I did a little research and posted about it a couple of posts up, but havent got any further yet

This one was much better than the first. This movie was so much more closer to the book than the first was. The tension between tJacob and Bella and Edward and Bella and Edward and Jacob had you sitting on the edge of your seat. This movie had you lusting after both guys with so much intensity that you could scream. I was so bothered that I ended up on the fence not knowing who I wanted more Jacob or Edward all I know is I wanted Bella out of the way to have them to myself. Well Done Chris Weitz!!!!!

yea, let's just get Bella out of the picture and all is well, HAHAHA

i can't wait to see new moon today i have 4 and a half hours

Does anyone know what Jacob says to Bella in a different language when they nearly kiss in the kitchen?

I've done some Googling, but I dont know how accurate it is

Wikianswers say that "I love you" in Quiluete is "Nayeli"

I also found "WAH-lee tah-chuh-AH" which means 'I don't know', which, to me, sounds similar to what Jacob said, but I could be imagining it?

Any help/info would be great, thanks!

:)

EVERYONE CHECK OUT THE EXCLUSIVE NEW MOON TEASER INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEs6HdF4P4M

I was actually disappointed by the movie. Some of the appeal of the first one was the darkness and indie feel.The new color lens made everyone to normal looking... The actors didn't look dramatic or scary enough. I especially hated edwards make-up job, I know they tried to represent pain and depression, but I just though his red rimmed eyes made him lose a lot of sex appeal, and his skin looked a little cakey not pastey white...Sparkles were good.. They tried to fit in so much of the book that the scenes didn't transition well, losing some incredibly powerful moments of the book. I really didn't care for the music at all. I've played the twilight cd a thousand times...I almost think by going so hollywood-ish they lost a lot of the drama. Fight scenes and wolves were good, The acting was great especially Bella and Jake. I felt that aros, whose skin was to be papery and translucent, didn't represent well, I expected a older wiser looking man. Ancient almost....The other two were much better. I know I'm complaining a lot but I truly was disappointed!!

Oh also wanted to say the action by all was FAR better this time round. Didn't leave me feeling "uncomfortable" after watching certain scenes.

Kristen did better. It was nice to see more emotion, like humour, displayed by Bella AND Edward.

Jacob totally rocked the acting! AMAZING!!!

LOVED IT!! It was funny, sad and totally friggen awesome. I love the coloring of New Moon WAY better than Twilight...Makes the vampires stand out more. After Twilight I was not that impressed with Kristen, but she was fantastic in New Moon. I could actually see her NEED for Edward in this movie.

HOW DOES THE MOVIE ENDS PLEAS ANWERE

****SPOILER****











It just fades to black after Edward asks Bella to marry him after he and Jacob have a confrontation in a forest after THE vote at the Cullen house

Totally loved the movie. Though I wish CW didn't leave out so many of the scenes between Jacob and Bella to show their growing relationship. In the end the same feelings came across, but that was my favorite part in the book. I'm sure he did it to appease the majority of the fans, ie Team Edward, but I still wish he left those bits in.

All in all I LOVE this movie. I almost cried when she was running through the woods after Edward and she kept calling his name, so sad. BUT I DID cry in the very end when Jacob is a wolf and he looks so sad and hurt and betrayed by Bella then he turns to run away. :(

I missed all the hand-holding. :(

He tried it once and that was it! And he wasn't as touchy-feely in the movie.. pulling her on his lap, touching her face, etc. I did love their hug, though, in her room. Too sweet! Kristen and Taylor were rocking the chemistry really well!

I know!!! I was so looking forward to them holding hands on the beach, ugh, so many moments missed in the movie. :(

Me too. :( I missed the part when she talks about Victoria being after her and Jake pulls her onto his lap and brushes her hair out of her face. That would've been too sweet.. shame it wasn't in! :(

One more thing I need to add.

I felt from the time KS had her dream in the begining. Bella felt like she was in a dream state threw the movie, I felt she was living a nighmare, and she woke up when Edward was in her room in the end. OK. Had to say that. I dont know if CW was going for that feel, but thats how I personally saw it. Again, Kristens acting.. A+.

I really enjoyed the movie a lot but can't say I LOVED it! Am I the only one that misses the B grade, low budget feel and blue tones of Twilight????

Taylor did a GREAT job as Jacob. So glad they kept him on.
Rob was fabulous as always. The Remember Me preview looks awesome!
Kristen is a very good Bella.
Not loving the wolf pack. I thought the Paul/Bella scene was not serious enough and like the others were egging him on to change rather than trying to hold him back. I also thought some of their lines were hard to hear clearly.

The ending was a definite disappointment! So much great Edward/ Bella time skipped over!! Her sitting in his lap at the Volturi...keeping herself awake on the plane...big greeting by the Cullens at the airport...Edward carrying her home to an irate Charlie....they tried to shove all of this and more into a minute or two.

Anyways....still really liked it and plan on going a second time this weekend to see it again!

You know I feel that way too, but the movie is never going to be as good as the book. Name one movie that is. I personally think had they been able to push it for that darker feel it would have been much better,but because the "kiddies" can't take it we get left with a shell. I mean i know it has to be PG13, but the books are very dark, and I want to feel that darkness, unfortunately I did not. I mean and the whole lacking of those small details that help cement Edward and Bella's relationship, and the part where they are on the plane. I would have sat for a three hour movie if they would have added that.

I totally miss the blue tones of twilight the darkness made it much more dramatic. I felt this movie missed it by lighting everthing too bright, I thought the volture, especially Aros didn't translate well. And those last Bella Edward scenes to me were the biggest part of the book and I think they over played the wolf parts....

I also missed the blue tones of TWILIGHT. I think TWI was a superior movie in every way compared to New Moon. The Volturri were just silly and the whole ending of the film was rushed. Really disappointing.

Loved it. Totally worth the wait and late hour. Going again today!

the movie was awsome and jacob was hooooooooootttttttttttt♥

omg i cant wait till eclipse were i am it only 1 and a half stars stupid critics omg the proposal scene was freakin awsome i wish eclipse was here al ready i was so exited when i saw it WOW and when jake almost kisses her and it was muuch more funny than twilight espesialy when alice says as soo as u take the dog out o n a guy 4rom the theater had his walkie talkie on and it well said some thing and every 1 was like shut up it was really funny i cant wait no more i wana c it again

Score

I don't know why CW thought it was absolutely necessary to inject music in every single scene. And not even regular elevator music, sweeping romantic symphonies. My goodness.

It's all about balance. All of the scenes where people were breaking up or dying or being beat up, you don't need music to accompany it. The acting carried those scenes enough.

I was thinking about how to explain you how I feel at the moment...
(waiting to see the movie trying to not read all the spoilers)
and than I remember this
http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/20...

perfect!

I was so happy to see how long this movie was :) Now, I am team Edward, but Jacob brought me some very nice dreams last night LOL. I loved seeing the new sparkle effect w/Edward and all the new level of intensity this film brought. Now, I know that was not how the book ended... there was a few more pages at LEAST after Edward and Bella were "arguing" on what they'd do in order to fulfill what the other ones wanted.. although the ending line was definitely one that echoed in your brain.. I can't wait to see him do the "official" proposal in Eclipse :)

thanx a lot pple!!!! gr8 review/comments!!! make me so impatient to watch it!!
Twilight saga rox...... n hope this will the epic movie ever.....

"Can't wait to get pregnant!!!"

gd nite every1..... or morning in some places...... the day u've waited has come... let's cherish the moment.... leaving those who can't get to watch yet.... feel desperate......

i know the book is good but was the movie so better than the book
and my another question is, is the movie new moon better than twilight?

i'm on friday in new moon because its starst on Thursday in germany :(

p.s TEAM J ♥A ♥C ♥O ♥B

He nailed it!!! The movie was incredible! I did not find it slow paced at all. I thought it went by really fast, too fast. I think that it could not have been done better.....Great work and I can't wait to see it again!

Things that I Hated:

1. Edward's slow mo entrance. First, we already saw him in the dream sequence, so what was the purpose of the "grand" slo mo walk. And second, it was cheesy.

2. Pretty much every kissing scene between E/B was cut differently then from the trailers, which I hated, other than the post birthday scene. I did not like that.

3. I did NOT like the Edward visions. I found them majorly cheesy. I wished that they would have went with his voice because it was kind of irritating.

4. I know this is NM and he is supposed to be that way, but I think I saw Edward smile ONCE. I know, I am going to get hammered for this, but a little bit of happiness either at the very beginning or at the end would have been great.

5. The music and score. They put the wrong songs in the wrong places and it was just too much. I couldn't take it. Especially, when they are chasing Victoria in the woods, Charlie and Jacob, and Bella is making her walk towards the cliff; they are playing a slow song; WTF.

6. Ok, here we go. I was actually really enjoying this movie until Alice and Bella head the Italy.

Wait for it ... I despised the reunion. I did not like the way it was cut, I did not like the dialogue after they went inside, because dammit that should have been in the bedroom scene. And even though the kiss was good, it was not cut the same way as the trailer and that's what I was expecting.

Loved the Volturi, so I will skip that.

7. Should I even get started on the bedroom scene or lack thereof. WTF!!!!! And I am shouting in from the rooftops. NO METEOR speech, no grand declarations of love. It only lasted two seconds, it felt like and they were off to the Cullen house. Again, WTF? Everything went down hill from there.

8. The Jacob/Edward/Bella showdown/ending. WTF again. I liked that they had a little confrontation and Bella told Jacob that she loved Edward and it was always him. But Jacob and Edward are getting ready to throw down, Jacob saunters back in to the woods and then BAM, Edward and Bella get all romantic and they have a moment and he asks her to marry him?

I hated it. And I'm sorry. But they took my all time favorite chapter of all the books and took the dialogue and strung it out over three different scenes and it was awful.

I can't even tell you what I think of the movie as a whole because I am so split down the center. I will have to go see it again to grasp it fully.

What I found surprising of my experience was that I thought that I would hate the Jacob and wolfpack parts and love the Edward and Italy stuff. And it was the exact opposite.

Don't remember Bella smiling for Edward at all either. I mean their chemistry is grand but Robsten are too determined to make their characters less cheesy, sentimental and more dark, realistic but a little bit of playfulness/banter wouldn't hurt, just like it is in the books, E/B are happy with each other a lot, they're less gloomy and serious.

My feelings exactly.

Love ur honesty! I'm glad the Volturi scene were good bc I love them!!! I'm sure Kstew's acting was the shiznit (yes i'm still using that word) but how was the acting of the other actors? I wasn't too impressed with the clips.

I thought that Rob and Kristen and Taylor were great. Poor Taylor had some cheesy lines to say ... so I don't blame him for that, and they got a laugh in the theatre.

The wolfpack, you could tell that they were new actors. Not the best. I am being nice. haha

Ashley Greene, I love the chick, I really do, but some of her acting was cringe worthy. Especially in the car going to Italy. I had to try to focus on Kristen, because she was so amazing.

I can't really think of anyone else. I thought that Taylor did a great job, but with the emotional scenes more so than when he was trying to me intimidating. Because, let's face it, he is not that intimidating. But I was surprised at the chemistry between him and Kristen.

Rob was great, I was more so upset over the Edward stuff. He was just whiny all the time, even in scenes when he should not have been.

Overall I'd say much less cheesy than Twilight.. at least it didn't make me cringe like Twilight still does. But there was some cheese anyway. But I guess it's kind of hard to keep that out.. because honestly I found some lines in the books that were incredibly cheesy. haha.

Wolfpack.. I personally think Chaske and Alex did the best (next to Taylor of course!).. the others were okay, they did fine. But you're right, could tell they were newer to acting!

And I agree about Ashley.. a few things fell flat for me in her performance. :\ I actually liked Nikki's few sentences in the vote better than quite a few of Ashley's lines. Nikki delivered it perfectly, I thought! Ashley wasn't all bad, though.. there were some lines she said that I liked! And she did it good!

I think Taylor was intimidating with Mike in the theater moreso than when he became the wolf! I mean, he did all those parts really well, but I thought he'd be a little angrier at times! Everything else he did, though.. he completely nailed it and his emotional delivery was perfect. I wasn't surprised at the chemistry with them, though... the few clips I saw of them i could see it.

I thought Rob really delivered well.. he had the emotions, but yeah some of their scenes weren't quite there.

Not perfect.. some issues here and there with stuff left out or not exactly right, but I still say a HELL of a lot better than Twilight!

I agree. I guess just disappointed that some stuff was left out.

I am still in surprised awe of Taylor's performance. I knew that Rob and Kristen would deliver, but Taylor amazed me. I was very impressed.

Another notable performance was Dakota Fanning. She just nailed Jane. I was very impressed.

Now that I have seen it twice and let some things set in, I do really like it, but still some things could have been done better.

I'm so tired. I don't even know how I feel anymore. I'm overwhelmed.

I loved New Moon, the movie. I read reviews before I went and was disappointed that reviewers who had not read the books were allowed to comment! Because of their comments I was able to watch the film with a critical eye and was happy to find that they were wrong. I feel like the pace of the film, the actors and the cinematography fit so well with the story and the book. All of the actors gave a great performance. Many people comment on Kristens acting, I feel she did a fabulous job with this role. One stand out performance was Michael Sheen as Aro. All the Vampires looked extra creepy and other worldly...great. I will see New Moon a couple more times in the theatre
Our theatre showed Twilight again, and because I missed it the first time around, I was excited to see it on the big screen. It was so much fun to watch it with and audience to hear people laugh and enjoy the some of the humor in the film.
Congratulations to all.

I just have one question before I head to the theatre to see NM. There is one line in the book that is so important to me. Can someone please tell me if when Bella pushes Edward back in the Alley in Volterra if he says "Amazing, Carslisle was right" and something about it being painless? (thats from memory, so sorry if its off a little bit) I really just want to know now if its in the movie so I wont be disappointed if its not. Im so glad to see all the GREAT reviews on NM!!!!!!

Valteamdedward...Sorry, no. Just reread the book. The film is the adaption of the book, not the book. The intensity of the relationship between Edward and Bella can only be developed and explored in depth with the written word. The film will never live up to our own imagination. Go enjoy the film for what it is, an adaption of a beloved book series.

:( Thank you for answering my question. Im glad I was forwarned. The emotion in that statement, in my opionion, would have translated beautifully to film. O'well, you win some and lose some.

I seen the movie it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! While I was waiting in line (12th in line) everyone was saying that there was suppose to be a trailer from Eclipse at the start of the show. I stayed for the whole movie and I didn't see anything. It was only to be shown this weekend ONLY. True or Not?

Was I the only one than didnt like what edward said when bella tried to stop him from stepping outside into the light?

To me saying 'Heaven' just summed up the longer dialogue...."Amazing, Carlisle was right..... I can't believe how quick it was. I didn't feel a thing - they're very good" All that basically is Edward saying 'I'm dead and I really must be in heaven just the way Carlisle believes b/c Bella is with me now' - in summary - "Heaven."

It would have been nice if this were added, though: "You smell just exactly the same as always, so maybe this is hell. I don't care I'll take it."

He was supposed to say... Carlisle was right!

What did he say?!?!?

Heaven

THANK YOU!!! Im glad to hear that he does make SOME reference as to what was said in the book.

Hi all!! I was thinking of my newmoon.org girls last night as I was watching NM!! :) Ok my assessment!

#1 Kristen Stewart's performance was AMAZING as Bella, that girl knocked my socks off, she IS Bella! The pain.. I felt it with her and that's what I wanted, everything from reactions to eye movements. KS You did PERFECT! and Thank you!

Robert: Oh my Robert. I felt Edwards pain also and you have grown into Edward so much since Twilight. I was at awe of your performance of him AMAZING!... and the Remember Me trailer.. :) yeah, def going to see that to!

Taylor.. You also amazed me! I am not a Jacob fan, but I actually felt bad for him a few times in NM and that's a lot for me! You acting was also spot on :)

CW! Ok.. this is where I get a bit disappointed. Im sorry. JMO. The beginning of NM kind of dragged, Not meshed right for some reason, maybe because it was the set up for Edward leaving, I dont know, the rhythm wasn't right for me. BUT The middle to the end AMAZING! I would have loved MORE action also! The Volturi creeped me out! A few lines I wish they would have kept also and didnt, confused on why but whatever, The ENDING BIG smile on my face there ! LOL Marry Me Bella!!!! ahhhhh !!!I All in ALL NM was a A in my book! Hopeful Eclipse will be a A+ need action!!! and maybe a bit of blood and more kissing!!! :)

Im going again tonight!!!

Heres my idea about Alice's vision of Bella and Edward running in the woods.. I could be so wrong but heres what I MYSELF thought of when I saw it. I believes its in Eclipse when Bella (struggling with the idea of marriage) envisions her and Edward together, dressed in cloths from the early 1900s. Its how she makes sense of the whole wedding, marriage thing. I think this is what gave them the idea for the vision, because it WAS very odd for Alice to be thinking that way. Unless her love for Edward made her see things the same way Bella imagined them in Eclipse. :)

Uhm... didn't remember that detail...
It makes sense... but... that scene still look ridiculous to me.

YES YES YES Vera! Very ridiculous! I wanted to puke! lol

I KNOW its gonna be GREAT!!!!! going to showing at 9:50pm tonight. just wondering how early to get there to get 4 seats together. tickets already bought. appreciate any feedback on lines to get in- CANT WAIT!!!!!

Editing and pacing

The editing and pacing were poorly done, particularly the scene preceding the reunion. The joy of that scene is the suspense that Stephenie builds from the moment Alice walks into the Bella's house. There was none of that suspense here. Maybe it's because of all the darn spoilers Summit shoved down our throats, but that scene wasn't as effective because of it. I think there was a problem with pacing because there's still a problem with adapting this book to film. I don't know why this is still a problem, but to me the scenes seemed to be more like a collage rather than a linear passage down a trail. This is what happened with The Half Blood Prince. Summit, MR, the director, etc. need to think of this as a film rather than a way to please fans/SM.

The editing was jarring, especially at the end. How do you go from Volterra to Bella's bedroom to the Cullen house to the forest without transition and in a span of like 15 minutes? I really hope the Director's cut is much better than this. I'll sit and watch a 5 hour movie with proper transitions than a 2 hour film with no transition.
Dialogue

The dialogue was p***-poor. Definitely overly-sentimental and gag-worthy at times. And you know that MR has to be replaced because when you get to the break-up scene, where Rob revealed that he and Kristen redid the entire thing, and there were literally no cliched lines.

BD will be in trouble if MR does it.

Subtractions

No mention of Edward's present to Bella, the lullaby????? Hello!!! That's like Rob without his darn hair. Jeez.
I hate that we don't see Kristen's reaction of her emptied album. That's my second favorite moment in NM. I feel cheated.

Additions

Volturi fight!! WIN!

Bella's dream of Jacob, Edward, and the white wolf was too short. I wish there was more of that. :(

The motorcycle ride was great!

I liked how Kristen recognizes Victoria instead of mistaking her red hair for fire.

I loved how we see Victoria battling the wolves. That was like art.

Seeing Edward in South America crushing the phone was amazing too. Loved that.

Totally, totally agree with all you said. Please, please, please let Melissa Rosenburg be replaced before she ruins our last film. Please!!

I felt absolutely zero emotion in this film. And I'm a crier. I feel emotions so intensely during films, books...hell, commercials even. But nada during the whole film...it shocked me. I just kind of sat there thinking WTF? most of the time.

There was a lot I liked...Victoria's scene was amazing. I am not a Taylor Lautner fan at all...but wow...he did REALLY well! The Volturi...I'd hoped for a bit more dramatic lighting...I felt like I was watching a play on a stage wtih a fake set lit by bright flourescents. Charlie Bewley!!!! I could NOT take my eyes off of him in any scene he was in at all. He is exquisite. Jane was "eh" for me. Her using her abilities on Edward was spectacularly done. The score was a huge fail...huge!! Totally generic and didnt' enhance anything..just an annoying distraction throughout. Other music felt really displaced... South America scene...fabulous.

Argh...I hate feeling disappointment about this...but I do. Definitely seeing it again (and again) though. I know it will grow on me. :) Though just like Twilight, I'll cringe often and have to cover my ears for a few scenes...LOL

I'm actually not disappointed. I don't think most people read my other post about the acting so people think I hate it. But I don't.

It's better than Twilight. That's all that matters to me, really.

But MR needs to go. Plain and simple.

Agree - the dialogue was ridiculous. The music - drek. The reddish color of the film didn't feel right to me. TWILIGHT was so much better. NMoon was a real disappointment. The script was awful. Clearly Kristen is an amazing actress, and Taylor was wonderful, but I don't think they were given a great movie. Sorry. Didn't like NMoon at all. The CGI work was fine, but that's not enough to make a memorable experience. The breaking up and reunion of Edward and Bella was just perfunctory, nothing special, no drama. Bring back Catherine Hardwicke because I thought TWILIGHT was amazing. And Carter Burwell's music was so superior to Desplats.

How did you like Twilight better? I'm not bashing you, I'm really curious.

I don't think Twilight could be better than anything, honestly. This was far better IMO.

And I loved the break up scene. It had the exact emotions I was expecting. When Kristen realizes that Edward's not taking her away with him... my God, her whole body begins to shut down. It's incredible. I really love that scene. And Rob's kiss... and how he runs off and you don't even see him... and how Bella runs after him as if she could catch him. It's heartbreaking!

I like everything you said and was a lot of what i was trying to say in my review. which I am constantly editing bc I keep remembering stuff. Pacing was totally screwed throughout the film especially the end. Transitions sucked....the collage reference you made is perfectly put.

Thank you. That was on like no sleep lol.

"but to me the scenes seemed to be more like a collage rather than a linear passage down a trail"

Exactly!

It felt like watch several litle peaces of the movie all glued together.

I agree with everything that you just said.

I felt that the build up to the reunion was not there. They just sort of cut to it and rushed it.

Then they cut to her getting home, Edward loves her, the vote and then the end.

It was all so rushed and chopped together. I would have much rather have seen a two hour and a half film with those scenes transitioned properly.

It was rushed and forced and the emotions that you feel from reading the books were not conveyed properly.

I purposely didn't reread NM because I didn't want to compare it to the book when I watched it. That's what happened when I saw Half Blood Prince and you can't enjoy the film when you have the book in mind.

But the fact that you don't feel that sense of urgency that Bella feels in the most pivotal important scene in IMO the entire series was a huge letdown.

I actually liked their moment when she pushes him inside, although I do understand why you have an issue with how immediate their make-up is. That was another great aspect of the book: that you did not know how Edward felt until they returned to Forks. I don't know why they did that in Volterra, but I still liked that scene.

I'm mad. The "You can go to hell" line fell flat. God, spoilers suck!!

THE MOVIE FILM BROKE! It was an AWESOME movie, better than Twilight - and then, about 2/3 of the way through, just as Bella drove up to the cliff... the FILM BROKE! You could see the edges burning - and a quick shot of Victoria and her red hair!!!
SO - the theater gave us passes but...couldn't get the film to work. They DID offer to run it at 2:30 AM... (this was the midnite show) ... but some of us couldn't stay.
I can't WAIT to see the REST of this fabulous story!

omg just came back from the cinema...
what else can I say..you guys said it all..hahahhahahahaah..ok.ook

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I slept for five hours and back up. I couldn't type what I thought when I got home because I was really ticked off and wanted to sleep on it.

Things That I Loved:

1. Kristen Stewart!!!! And I am not just saying that because I adore her, but she is in pretty much every scene and that movie would have been ruined if it were not for her acting. She was phenomenal and apparently read reviews on everything she did wrong in Twilight. Amazing.

2.Everything having to do with Jacob. Taylor Lautner is the man. I loved him. I bought it, he sold me that he is the best Jacob ever.

3.The CGI. I do not know why some are having issues with it. I thought every wolf scene was great. The sparkles were a lot better, even if the concept to begin with is cheesy. The two cliff dives were amazing, Sam's and Bella's. Loved it all.

4.Edward and Bella' chemistry. Wow. It was almost like I wanted to shut my eyes everytime they went in for a kiss.

5.Rachelle. I am going to miss her.

6.Billy Burke. And in addition, one thing that was sorely lacking in the first one was the dad and daughter bond. It was there this time which I loved.

7.Anna Kendrick and Michael Welch. Amazing comedic timing and stole the scene every single time.

8.The Volturi. Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning were stand outs. No words. They completely embraced their roles and I am still in awe. The whole fight scene, one with Jane and one with Felix and Kristen and Rob's acting was on point. I loved it.

9.Sam and the wolfpack, for the most part. I was actually surprised at how much I loved the wolf scenes and the middle of the movie. Very well done, pacing was great, and the wolf pack banter and Emily included was great.

10.Cinematography.

11.The opening dream sequence.

OK, these are the things that I loved.

'Be careful'
'Always am'
Say you love it.
Say it.

What's up? Yeah, the little one liners were great. I was laughing hysterically.

Billy Burke. Him and Anna Kendrick definitely get the awards for "scene stealers." They were both great.

Anna was a mean girl. A mean irritating girl. And I love it.

Charlie....The Charlie Bella scenes were one of the most touching. I love Billys and Kristens dynamic.

I got more teary over Charlie running in when Bella would scream than anything else really.. other than Jacob's heart-breaking looks that is! I love the dad/daughter dynamic.. SM pissed me off with how she portrayed Charlie at times. This was SO much better! He was upset over her being upset and he would touch and try to comfort her.. which is what he SHOULD have done in the books!

Thats the plus of Billy not reading the books.
Honestly as much as the ending left a mixed feeling I liked what they have done with the middle part more than in the book.
You cant believe how many people showed up today at 10 am . Men included. And the midnight showing here in poland was insane.

I agree. The middle was great.. and yeah, I would think most fathers would act the way he did in the movie about her screaming in her sleep. So it makes me glad he didn't read it and went about it this way. MUCH more realistic.

My brother said he knew a few people who went last night in my town.. I told him I was curious about how many people went, so he'll find out.

Here in my city in Poland there was a movie marathon at midnight ,screening back to back Twilight, New Moon, Underworld Evolution. The whole theater was filled and no kidding 43% was MALE audience. The opening day was huge.

I don't want to see an open-mouthed Kate Backinsale in latex ever again.

know i wish i never came on this site
iuno i had banned myelf to come onn today!
but wtvr i came onn cuz i was so anxious
and alot of people are scaring me i rlly dont know what to expect of this movie know
i guess ill have to wait an watch !
maybe ill love it :)
just a couple more hours!

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to take a short amount of your time and thank all of your who go and and find all the great information about Twilight and New Moon. I love coming to this site, and everyone here seems so nice. I haven't posted before, but I just thought I needed to now. I haven't seen new moon yet, going on Sunday, but from what I have read it's wonderful and I can't wait! Well anyone, Thanks again to the moderater of this web site, it's great!

It was without a doubt 1 million times better than Twilight. I LOVE the books and I found Twilight really lacking (although I bought it and have watched it many times
because Rob Pattinson Yummm). New Moon was FANTASTIC...it looked amazing and was SOOOO true to the book. I am usually really disappointed in movies adapted from books because I feel like they leave important things out and add things that don't belong. This was JUST RIGHT! Taylor is a STAR and Rob and Kristen were terrific. It looked so much better, Chris Weitz is a much better director and it shows. The wolves looked great and I LOVED the Volturri....it looked the way it did in my head as I was reading it. Really. I heard a lot of grumbles from little girls in the theater who were upset because Bella doesn't kiss Jake or choose Jake. All I have to say is....READ A FREAKING BOOK! DUH!
I am going to see it again tomorrow and I cannot wait. WELL DONE!

I've seen it twice now and I LOVED it! Soooo much better than the first movie! I cant wait for June 2010 for Eclipse to come out!

It even had me warming to Jacob!

Does anyone know what it was he said to Bella in the kitchen when they nearly kissed before the phone rang?

I'm contemplating going to see it for a 3rd time tomorrow, but I think that might be a tad obsessive! haha

Ok, so I haven't actually seen it yet but the anticipation is killing me! 20:45 and I can finally relax and enjoy what a lot of you are all raving about.

Part of me wishes I'd not read some of these comments but I'm taking the positives on board and ignoring all the haters! We all knew the film wouldn't be identical to the book but by the sounds of it they've included just about everything, even if the scenes are a bit shorter and in some cases in different locations. The film was never going to be identical to the books, it's just not possible unless you have Bella commentating for the whole film.

Look to the positives people, don't be so negative about everything! For all my New Moon film fans, thank you all for you're lovely descriptions of the film, I'm even more excited now - if that's possible. Only 7 hours to go now - yay! :-)

I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve, I can't sit still! I really should do some work! LOL :-)

Shame that Rosenberg keeps sidelining Edward, but we know where her allegiances lie, still it's so unprofessional
Kinda worried about the combo of her and Slade who couldn't stop creaming himself over Riley, R/V, wolf pack when they were filming E. I guess we will never have E/B relationship properly developed, it was lacking in Twilight, it was lacking in NM (cause of E's limited screen time and the rushed beginning) and I guess it won't be conveyed as it should be in E either. And in Breaking Dawn, everything just falls apart, SMeyer takes the best character and devoids him of personality and balls.

I loved it, the story is great. I mean, I loved the book, so it's almost impossible not to love it on screen. However, i missed a little the edgyness and moodiness that I felt Twilight did have. I don't know if anyone else felt it but I think it had a lot to do with the music that was used and I personally liked the music from the first movie much better. They are two different directors, and this movie was harder to make, so I still loved it, but I liked Twilight better. I don't think anyone could have done this particular movie better though. It was awesome and it did leave me wanting for more.

the movie was amazing!! it followed the book fairly well compared to the first one! how dare they tease us with the ending!! lol

OMG OMG MILEY CYRUS CUSSING THE TWILIGHT SAGA AND ITS FANS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XnkIKTUaxQ&feat...

WATCH WATCH WATCH

Lol, I didn't watch it but I find it funny that she can criticize Twilight but can sing about Jay-Z in her music and has NEVER heard a Jay-Z song...! And she doesn't consider herself pop, lol. I like her songs but she is a joke!

For anyone curious to watch this, her ignorant comment is just before the 1 minute mark. I say this b/c I tried to watch it and had to keep skipping ahead until I heard the conversation (I missed it the 1st time) - I just couldn't stand to hear her talk!! I know you guys will think I'm in the dark ages, but I have a tom-boy for a daughter and she hates Miley Cyrus, so I've never been subject to her.

*throws up in mouth a little*

IM DYING RIGHT NOW!!!!!ITS NOT RELEASED IN NEPAL AND IM STUCK HERE!!! THEY ARNT EVEN GUNNA SHOW IT!!!! IM CRYING...EVERY1S WATCHED THE MOVIE ND I HAVENT :'(

OMG - Why not???

I feel for you, I haven't seen it yet but I'm seeing it tonight. There are no words of comfort I can give you, that just sucks!!! :-(

OMG, I FEEL YOUR PAIN >_<
I WOULD BE DYING TOO
D:

Yeah, and I also wanted to say that Kristen did SO MUCH BETTER! She was great! There's just one thing that wasn't good while i was watching it: The people right next to me! They just talked and laughed all the time and they were like: '' Rob is so ugly! Bella is so stupid, she can't decide wich one to take! '' Almost started to yell at them.

EVERYONE I SPOKE TO TINSEL KOREY ON TWITTER!
haha like i was freaking out, she was really nice and OMGGG!
^_________^

i LOVE newmoon! so much better than twilight, it was visually amazing and just GAHHHH SIMPLY AMAZING(not simply amazing, AMAZINGLY AMAZING!)
TEAM EDWARD, and team emily!

I am wordless. IT WAS AMAZING! It's all I can say. I think it was so much better than Twilight. It was so different and so funny! I think it was REALLY GOOD! Can't wait to go see it again!

LOVE IT!!! had some issues. Was hoping the end when Bella doesn't believe that Edward isn't a dream was longer. Love how Chris delivered alot of the lines from the book, even though they may have been delivered at the wrong times and some cases by the wrong character!!! I truly loved it though and can't wait to see it again!!!
Love Rob Pattinson, I missed seeing his facial expressions when they kiss though.

OMG!!!!!!! I love it, even when I have my doubts about the Kristen's performance. She really does betterrrrr than Twilight. I can really feel the pain and the 360 take from the off months blows my head. I really love the final and I cry, screan, shout and laugh the 3 times I see it yesterday because in Puerto Rico the filme started on thursday. I really love Robert Pattinson and know I have more feeling for him. Taylor was really amazing but my hearth belong to Edward. I would like to see more of the angry of Charlie after Volterra and the flight scene but I really love the movie it was AWESOME and I can't wait to Eclipse!

So my take. the movie is visually beautiful and the score by Desplat really brings you into the mood.
Kristen brought me to tears. She showed that Bella is intuitive. She showed that she is damaged and the most difficult part for her is to keep it together.
And the parts with Jacob. You could just breathe. it was easy to watch them, they were so sweet together. Healthy. The scene in the Chevy. Where Kristen says 'No. It's a Jacob thing'... You didnt feel the tension that makes you literally squirm in your seat. Like it is with Edward. The difference between Edward and Jacob and the difference between E's Bella and J's Bella- New Moon captured that perfectly.
The reunion doesnt exactly satiate your Edward hunger and the bedroom scene is just an apetizer, you see that Edward is timid and has some catching up to do.

What rocked my socks was the reunion of Bella and Alice. And the torture scene. And Dakota. And Micheal Sheen is creeptastic. And the Victoria chase- the red hair and the grace. You have to say these vampires (apart from Edward running in the vision of vampire Bella) are finally graceful! And Chris is a master of editing. the transition between the tourists slaughtered in Volterra and Bellas screams...

What bugged me was
1. The way the Romeo&Juliet lines were said by Rob. His eyes were downcast for the most part. Edward wouldn't do it that way. you really could see a change in portraying Edward. he isn't the perfect guy anymore. He screwed. He's got issues.
2. Jared and Embry. First time actors and you can see it.
3. Slow life playing for 3 seconds in the water scene.
4. the CGI of Kristen and Rob in the full-underwater-body shot and the mothereffing Rio postcard background when Edward crushes the phone...
5. Jamie as Caius. He didnt deliver the lines.
6. The way Ashley says the lines in the porshe. but for the reunion with Bella it is forgiven.
7. The wolves weren't always polished. You know what I mean.

But overall I liked it better than the book. There you have it.
And in 9 hours I will be seeing it again.

I'm running on only 2 hours of sleep. I'm still on such a high from seeing this awesome movie!

I went in thinking I was gonna hate Jacob. In the books, I was not a fan of his at all. But Taylor made me think differently. I'm still very much Team Edward and there is no one else that Bella should be with but Jacob pulled at my heart strings. Taylor Lautner acted his a$$ off!!

The Volturi scenes were unbelievable! Michael Sheen rocked it as Aro. He totally freaked me out.

This movie was so visually stunning! It completely met my expectations and then some. It was also suprisingly humorous! I laughed quite a bit. Billy Burke stole some of those scenes as well as the other humans.

Rachelle? She should still be in Eclipse. The hair was so gorgeous. That whole scene of her with Harry and the wolves...no words.

What can I say about Rob? Those eyes.....that is all!

Kristen even did better than I expected. I admit I was worried about how she was gonna pull off the depression. No more worries there!

If Summit doesn't get CW for BD, then they are completely mad!!

I'll voice what i think of the movie after saturday, 21nov. :D
By the way, NYC's premiere/Cinema Society & D&G's screening of twilight :

http://wireimage.com/ItemListings.aspx?igi=4044...

http://community.livejournal.com/kstewartfans/1...

Anyway our cast looked great, most of them, except nikki. That girl really must know shiny material is not for everyone especially if you have big bones or abit large ... it just made you looked alot larger than you are.

Ashley is so gorgeous. She looked way better than LA's premiere, LA's look was too oldish for me, with that fake long hair ... really looked so fake to me. NYC's look so much refreshing and young.

Kristen despite being sick, gosh that girl rockass. She's beautiful. Love the eye makeup.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT TODAY!!! at 2:00 nov 20 2009

omg... that movie was awesome... i liked how the movie stayed close to the book but added its own flavor into it! nice job chris weitz! you did an outstanding job! two thumbs up! i miss u jacob!

Another grey face here. Just cuz we're posting our views on it finally, doesnt mean we're new here. Been lurking here since forever and read all your comments.

Anyway I saw it yesterday and planning to see it this weekend again. I thought the CGI could have been way better. I expected so much more from CW in that department. Guess the budget didnt allow it so I dont blame him. You can really notice it during the dive scene, where the big wave comes. It looked so fake. The red eyes didnt do it much for me either. Thought they were suppose to blend in with humans? The clothes very dreadfull, especially Alice. Such a waste. The acting of everyone was superB! It was so much better then Twilight. I only regret they went to fast paced and left out some important stuff to show the relationships between everyone.
I went with a co-worker who never heard of the twilight series so NM was her first. From her perspective it was good. Cuz it was funny at times and a lil action packed. She didnt like bella in the beginning cuz never read the books so she doesnt understand. Everyone looked stunning was good in charactor.
I think they aimed this movie to be more for everyone then just twi-hards. But that didnt actually worked. Many outsiders thought it was too long and cheesy. The cheesy parts did ruin it for me at moments. Also I thought the music didnt really fit the movie well. Its a great soundtrack but it just didnt blend in with scenes in the movie when it was played.

The ending just makes me anticipating for the next one. :D

omg i went to a uk midnight screening last nte and thought the movie was flawless. all 3 actors stepped up to the mark. the comedy was great.

bella/ kristen: i was very wary of your performance from the constant blinking and stuttering in twilight but you out done yourself girl you took the role of bella's torment and heartbrake to heart and i loved every minute of it.

jacob/ taylor: you came into your own, your performance as jake was astounding, we didnt get to see your potential in twilight but newmoon you was amazing.

Edward/ robert: omg your portrayal of edward was brilliant i could actually feel conected with your misery off loss and the smile when bella and edward were reunited blew me away.

volturi: i felt shivers when jane was tourturing edward and aro/ michael you scared the jeebers out of me. the fight scene was a nice touch too.

Chris: you have done such an amazing job in such a short space in time i must say keeping to the book even with the dialouge. the emails input was an interesting idea too as we still got to hear naration of bellas heartbreak.

Chris for breaking dawn :)

I absolutely love!!!!!
It was awesome!!!!
Chris you did an amazing job the colour, the effects everything was great I still love Twilight but this stepped up to a whole new level.
Rob did a great job as always looking just as sexy as ever
Kristen you did an awsome job looked so more relaxed in it
Jacob stand out preformance and I am team Edward all the way but you were something special.
Cant wait to see it again

I wrote this whole long thing and lost it. MY GOD!

I kept falling asleep, not because it was boring but because I haven't slept over the past three weeks. Thanks Robstenlor!

Acting.

Kristen did an amazing job. I'm in awe, especially of the break up scene where you feel literally everything she's feeling. I loved her throughout, but particularly when she's in Volterra and she tells Aro to kill her instead of Edward. I thought she had a great chemistry with Taylor. It's not going to be like Bellward's but it wasn't a brother and sister type of relationship either. The way she hugged him so tightly in her bedroom, with desperation, and how she'd lean into him like she did need him. There was chemistry. Kristen was just raw and real in this film. I literally want to go again to witness her talent. Yeah, I want to see it again because of her, not even because of Rob.

Rob was... depressing. He was beautiful. His eyes were hypnotic. But his performance wasn't dynamic enough for film. He stayed too level in this one lulling, melodramatic stupor. It varies a bit in Volterra, in the reunion scene, but not by much. He finds out she's alive and he's still depressed. Felix beats him up and he's depressed. Give me some variety, man. The doom and gloom was too much.

Taylor... Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. Taylor was a pleasant surprise. I loved him in the scene where he begs Bella to stay. I love him in the bedroom scene. I love him on the First Beach scene when he calls Bella a hypocrite. I loved him when he was a fun-loving teen who crushed hard on a girl. I loved him in the last scene demanding that Edward not speak for her. He was Jacob. There is no other Jacob. I'm so glad he's still here.

Supporting
Billy was great. I actually liked Ashley's performance in Twilight better than here. She seemed to be overacting. The Volturi were great. Aro was f'ing crazy. I loved that. Dakota was great. I wish there was more of Alex, I think he did a great job too. And Rachelle had no lines, which is a shame because she was definitely menacing enough. Loved Rachelle. I will miss her.

Onto my next review: script and direction

Through out the movie? Is it cause you were tired or was it because it was bad. Please tell me it was because you were tired. I haven't seen it yet.

I was tired. I haven't been able to sleep for nearly a month because I was so excited. The movie wasn't boring. I actually found Taylor to be more charismatic than I thought he was gonna be. He did carry the middle of the film, IMO.

Once people stop comparing Jacob to Edward, I think they'll enjoy Taylor's performance more, as well as appreciate his chemistry with Kristen.

Ive always been stuck in the middle when it comes to Edward/Jake. I love both and feel like they both loved Bella truly. There was a lot of times where I felt so bad for Jake and I wanted J&B together but then Edward would show how much he loved her and how they were meant to be together. I cant wait to see it on screen.

I am totally with you on the stuck in the middle thing...Edward's just perfect...but there's def something about Jacob that I love too...I guess team Swiss it is : )

We have tickets for tonight....God help up! We went last night to the theater on a whim thinking ..hey why not see it to night too... WELL ALL 13 Theaters were sold out!!!!!! It was amazing to see! SO MANY People!!! It was worth seeing the people at midnight going to see it!

helo.... pple.... help pls *pulling my hair*... pls kill me wif actual details.... i bet those who can't watch yet wants to know how CW did the ending.....

btw...... Congrats CW for awesome NM..... *based on the review here* .. Twilight saga....more to come!!!

Ok the movie was great. Ofcourse when youve read the book it seems like the movie is very short (at least to me it did) and scenes that I would have liked to see where not in the movie but it is still a movie and it has to be 2 hours long. The score ? What was that?!!! They should have just kept the twilight score which was absolutely beautiful. It was soooo much better. After all its the same author and the same books and even though they will each have a different director they should have something in common besides the actors that play in them.

I am a little dissapointed that people are totally dissing CH. With the bugdet she probably had I think she did a pretty good job. If it wasnt for Twilight, New moon wouldnt had such a big budget and ofcourse none of us would be running to theathers to see New Moon. I liked the colours better in Twilight it seemed more Forks to me then New Moon, the cast she picked was great and maybe the effects weren't so great but again no bugdet remember people? Plus she had this kind of indie/alternative look to it that I appreciated.

Anyway I do believe that CW did an excellent job I must say with the effects and the mood of the movie and the wolves and I did feel satisfied with everything he did but the music of the score was such a let down in my opinion.

Other then that I am going to go see it today again so I can appreciate things I missed the first time around which I am sure I have.

STEPHANIE MEYER YOU ROCK!!!!

Kalamazoo was very much Team Jacob. I was shocked!! I am too, but I thought the Edwards would overwhelm us, not even. O.K. I can't stand that Rachelle is not going to be in this anymore, she IS Victoria. Taylor was outstanding, loved the whole wolfpack, loved Jamie Campbell Cius, yummy! Missed the scene between Bella, Alice and Billy Burke, thought it was important. Also wish Bella freaked out more about having to go to Florida, she really freaked in the book. And, it goes without saying but, we all cried like babies, even though we knew what was going to happen. Good job, Chris.

They didn't start the movie until 12:30 here and it was supposed to start at 12:01. Majorly pissed about that the theater was about to riot.

New Moon was far better than Twilight. Taylor did an awsome job. He turned my Team Swiss. (Sorry but I will never completely leave Team Edward.) I was so crushed when they showed Edward in Rio. I wanted to give him a hug.

One thing I am alittle disappointed about is when they return from Italy. I would have like to see Charlie when Edward brought Bella home. I was looking for the quotes from that chapter as well especially the meteor quote.

I will definately be going to see it again on Sunday and next Friday.

They did the same thing with my theater...totally pissed...annnnd....thought I had time to go to the bathroom once we sat down...I get back and missed the dream sequence because they were so late that they didn't show previews....

At least I'm gonna see it again....but def annoyed

(saw it at downtown disney ca btw....you?)

New Orleans The worst thing was I was in the only theater that played Twilight as well. All the other theaters started on time and we got the shitty end of the stick. New Moon was awesome though, I'm going to see it again.

Just one question: What is the title of the song (by Radiohead?) playing during the Victoria chase scene midway through the film? Anyone? I instantly loved it

It's Thom Yorke - Hearing Damage. Check this link out and enjoy;)

It is called Hearing Damage.

the movie was perfect. there were so many more like actual happy moments between bella and edward before he leaves and the general tone of the movie was different than twilight. twilight was made on more of a serious note and but in this one you actually see kristen and robs connection as bella and edward way better. i loved it so so so so so much and im going to go see it again tonight!<3

I love this site so much, this is my first post

I loved loved loved New Moon!!

I had a couple of small issues, the film was very rushed and I think it could have been a bit longer, the scene in italy, how quickly they got back to forks were over too fast
I didnt like the music, didn't evoke as much emotion as Twilight did. I thought the contacts were far too harsh....and edward looked far paler than the rest of the cullans and was dressed a little older i thought, alice's vision...not good, people just laughed in the cinema.

But the actors were amazing, Kristen really improved and i felt like she was really bella in this movie, Rob was so pain filled and it came across well. Tyler for me stole the show, im team edward but I was rooting for jake in this, when he nearly kissed bella...*swoon*

I felt it stayed very true to the book and didnt leave out anything major...and the last line.....Killer!!
well done to everyone who worked on it. cant wait to see it again x

I really thought it was great, I am a diehard fan.
I am totally team edward, but jacob really played his character so well. he was amazing.
disappointed with the italy scene, it was like as soon as they met they had the convo she was supposed to hold out on. they kissed too fast and talked too fast. i lost my bedroom scene. i was saddened by that.
ashley greene- ilove you. i just didn't love you last night. i felt like you tried too hard. and that sucks, because i love you.
the breakup scene and right after in her room. i got so emotional, so in that short amount of time they really made me feel it. great job.
the action was great, and i am so glad that i went to the midnight show.
i will definately see it several more times.
overall-loved it. there were just little parts i would have changed, but i'm sure we can all say that.

I watched the movie yesterday, it was awesome! cannot wait to watch it again. I started shedding tears when it got into the more emotional parts. Really felt the characters' pain :)
hehe i want Eclipse to be released already ;)

Just got home, it's 3:45 AM PST. 11/20/2009

To make it short, I loved it. My 2 friends who went with me who hadn't even read Twilight loved it, my other friend who read the books and saw Twilight also loved it. We all plan to go back multiple times in the next few weeks and bring other friends when we see it again. It was that good.

It was very true to the book. The colors were vivid and well done. The wolves, Volturi, and the action could not have been better. The acting was improved, characters clearly drawn, the actors knew their characters. The music, especially the score was outstanding. The touches of humor were nice.

Jacob was very lovable and seemed to have somehow grown taller--nice touch. Edward was quite the tortured soul but i still loved Edward, Bella was her old insecure self--I thought everyone was well acted.

I'm not switching alliigence--I love Edward.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see the Remember Me trailer before the movie--it looked awesome on the big screen--can't wait for that movie to come out.

Thanks - this is the first I've heard of anyone watching the movie who hadn't read it. I was wondering what the response would be like. I will be taking my daughter and several others, most of which haven't read it, on Sunday. Of course, I saw it last night.

One of my friends who went with me last night stopped by my house after the MN showing and borrowed both Twilight and New Moon books--she text me this afternoon--she is over half way thru with Twilight and wants to finish New Moon by Monday because she wants to go back to the theater on Monday night with her daughter and daughter-in-law (who, she just found out have both read all 4 books!)

Her exact quote from her last text to me? "I'm an overnight fan!"

Yeah, I've made a new convert. This is so easy!

*throws confetti* CONGRATULATIONS!!

I was HOPING I would get the Remember Me trailer... but *sigh* I did not. 2 trailers for Amanda Seyfried movies (I was like wtf?) and a Sherlock Holmes trailer.... I WANTED TO SEE REMEMBER ME ON THE BIG SCREEN! :'(

I was so happy when the Remember Me trailer came on! I really wasn't expecting it. Rob looked great!

There were 5 other trailers with it--big yawn--2 for Amanda Seyfried movies. I like her fine but I thought 2 was too many, they should have picked just one and left it at that. I think Summit really pushed it with all their trailers.

Team Edward is beating Team Jacob as a trending topic on Twitter and New Moon is number 1. Love it or hate it, it's certainly getting attention!
I'm going to be watching it in 3 HOURS! I have monster butterflies and I'm bouncing off the walls.

I dont have time to do a big review (I`m at work)
But all I can say is:

I`m usually Team Edward, but in NM the movie; I `m Team Jacob!!

When J and B was about to kiss, I was totally cheering for him. And my heart was ripping in two when Bella told him that she would pick Edward over him.

MAN, Taylor did an amazing job!!! I`m such a fan, hats off for him :))

Taylor was AMAZING i hadn't realised HOW GOOD he was gonna be that boy is gonna blow up now
At the nearly kiss though as much as i was saying woah major s^xual tension,i was cringing too thinking 'don't do it, don't do it' and then the phone rang and i just thought YESSS IT'S EDWARD (i'm so fickle)
I just thought the whole film was FANTASTIC!! Loved every second of it!!!!

It really was fantastic!! :)) I wanna see it again NOW!! =P

But I can agree with some reviews that have said that this is a movie for the fans. I can understand that some that haven`t read the books will not be as ecstatic as we are. It did go a little fast and if you dont know the story -some will fall off. But hey--I dont care, I LOVED IT

My sentiments exactly there was a lot put into it but for the fans it was AMAZING!!! i'm going again Monday and maybe even tomorrow if i'm good Yeayyyy!!!!

Lucky you! :) I`m not sure when I`m going again, but it will be soon!! :) I looked at tickets today, but it`s sold out, so I guess I have to wait, pff... LOL

i didn't get to see it again yet i have to wait till tomorrow *sigh* i hope you get tickets soon :)

I did! --seen it twice already :))) It was actually better the second time, I felt I could enjoy it much more. The first time I was so excited about everything and so hyped up, lol. You should go see it again too! ;)
