Critics Consensus

The Twilight Saga's second installment may satisfy hardcore fans of the series, but outsiders are likely to be turned off by its slow pace, relentlessly downcast tone, and excessive length.

So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.

New Moon is only after the affectation of emotion, of swoon-worthy poses and faux-momentous aesthetics.

2/5

New Moon is a deeply boring book turned into a deeply boring film, though at least Michael Sheen seems to understand what a campy disaster he's co-starring in.

1.5/4

New Moon misses the mark like its predecessor, largely because the monster aspects of the story are the least interesting part, even though they play such a significant role.

After the lightning strike of Bella and Edward, it's nice to see a more gradual and human romance blossom, even if we know that it's doomed from the start.

LOVE IT!! It was great watching it in theaters, I was only 6 years old when it first came out was only allowed to watch the first twilight so I was stoked to watch in theaters. It is really an underrated movie of the saga even though I am team Edward.

This is not my favorite book nor movie, but hot damn is it still fun to see in theaters. This movie is light on the Cullen's which I think is the downside. Bella is the worst and Jacob and Edward deserve better. Charlie also deserves a better daughter.
