So we've got a paper cut and a phone call, and a romance that never feels as big as the movie tries to make it seem.

Reviews for The Twilight Saga: New Moon
"New Moon" is a terrible, terrible movie that is essentially "Transformers 2" for the training bra set with pseudo-soulful glances from bare-chested boys substituting for giant robots blowing things up.
11/27/09
Had the audience at my screening heaving and sighing so often, here's a recommendation: Bring an oxygen tank. You'll need it and a mask, particularly in the presence of so much heaving and sighing and busy shirtlessness.
11/27/09
For true Twilight believers, the slow moments are more opportunity to gaze at pretty-boy young men playing characters who're both the best and worst boyfriends a girl could ever have.
11/27/09
Chris Weitz’s film caters as well as the previous movie did to pale, fantasy-loving teenage girls, while adding a bit more humour for the rest of us.
11/27/09
The film takes itself rather earnestly, the heroine is more than half in love with easeful death, and the lighting by Spanish ace cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe is impressive.
11/27/09
Romeo And Juliet it ain't, but as a solid love story, New Moon gets the blood pumping.
11/27/09
So tedious and stupid that it makes last year's Twilight seem like Nosferatu.
11/27/09
If this is the world’s next generation of womanhood, that's a century of female emancipation down the drain. Bella's more likely to polish her chastity belt than burn her bra.
11/27/09
Leaden pace leaves New Moon lifeless.
11/26/09
Mostly keeps going by reels and reels of moping from Bella and Edward -- the two have more mood swings and changes of heart than the entire cast of Gone With the Wind.
11/26/09
Although there are parts of this film that are highly entertaining and scenes that are very amusing, I was not totally enamored with "Fantastic Mr. Fox".
11/25/09
The relational knots of emo heroes and dreamy hunks are making it start to feel rather soapy
11/25/09
Ferocious werewolves suppressing their inner humans, up to no good undocumented undead illegally crossing borders for no reason than as possible filler, and sexy vampires that make panting girl hearts flutter and swoon across America.
11/24/09
Who am I to quibble with a patently-preposterous, escapist fantasy which never takes itself seriously, yet somehow still resonates perfectly with the overly-sentimental, puppy love inclinations of passionate, prepubescent females?
11/24/09
A perfect movie for pre-teen and early teen girls but a letdown for the rest of the audience due to its slow pace and whiny tone
11/24/09
If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.
11/24/09
Top CriticA landmark cinematic event in 280 words, or one for every $500,000 of weekend box office.
11/24/09
Top CriticNew Moon has more humor, more action and fewer extraneous characters. Long story short: It glides where the first film galumphed.
11/24/09
'Dogs, vampires....my miserable life would be so much less complicated if I were ugly or maybe French,' exclaims Bella.
