REVIEWS FOR THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON
Robert Pattinson and his stomach cramps - I mean, aching unrequited love - are less oppressive, but the trade off is Taylor Lautner and his relentless shirtlessness.
Jun 23, 2010
Poorly structured, poorly paced, poorly executed CGI in places and characters that are unlikeable, despite the fact that we should be rooting for them. An inaccessible mess.
Apr 14, 2010
For pity's sake, direct-to-video cheerleading competition films have more genuine intrigue than this.
Apr 12, 2010
New Moon is only after the affectation of emotion, of swoon-worthy poses and faux-momentous aesthetics.
Apr 5, 2010
My main problem with the Twilight series so far is that Bella doesn't have much in the way of admirable qualities. What's her distinction? She pines a lot.
Mar 24, 2010
I did find this film to be a little better than "Twilight" because of the romantic triangle aspect. That, and other plot developments add some complexity and suspense, making the film a bit more interesting.
Feb 18, 2010
New Moon was fully satisfying for the fans. I just happen to not be a fan.
Feb 15, 2010
Superficial soup for the teenage soul.

I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.

Top CriticThe entire film seems to consist of three thoughts, cycled ad nauseum: Don't leave me. I can't live without you. Make me a vampire.
Dec 6, 2009
As she ponders her future, Bella is less aware than you are that she has very similar effects on the monster boy rivals for her affection -- glowing eyes, rising tempers, pronounced teeth, ungodly strength, usually demonstrated on others of their ilk or f
Dec 4, 2009
The scenery is still there, but just about everything else that worked in the first film doesn't in 'New Moon.' For one thing, the structure is a mess.
Dec 3, 2009
Despite the focus on young, shirtless werewolves and well coiffed vampires, the second installment of Stephanie Meyer's immensely popular series comes off as a tepid adventure in Zombieland.
Dec 2, 2009
Around about here, Pattinson gets to bare his own chest -- a bad idea in a movie that also features Taylor Lautner- and we notice that while his face is heavily pancaked, his torso is of a normal human hue. Whatever, I suppose.
Dec 1, 2009
Bella's tedious moping takes center stage until a poorly delivered telephone message (what a lame dramatic device!) sends everyone to Italy to confront 'the Vulturi'...
