Amazon.com:
New Moon, the second in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster teen-fiction saga adapted for film, is stronger than its predecessor, Twilight. Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), taking the helm from Catherine Hardwicke, brings a lighter, more assured touch to the sequel, which continues the star-crossed love story of mortal Bella (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson). Incidentally, Edward is absent for most of the film; after an accident on Bella's birthday reminds Edward that her life is always at risk when he's around, he chooses to abandon her, sending her into a deep depression. The only person who helps her heal her broken heart is her friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a member of the Quileute tribe who, as he grows taller, beefier, and more aggressive (with less clothing), comes to realize he's not entirely human either. But even his love for Bella doesn't prevent her from throwing herself in the path of danger, because that's the only time she can see visions of Edward. One such fateful misunderstanding sends Edward into the coven of the Volturi (a sort of vampire Mafia, if you will), where the most dangerous vampires hold both Edward and Bella's fate in their cold, dark hands. Much of New Moon rests on the shoulders of Lautner, so scrawny in Twilight, who famously packed on the muscle to avoid getting recast. He's very nearly successful in carrying the load, but the cheese-tastic beefcake scenes disservice him, and Jacob and Bella's complicated friendship stumbles on its way to any kind of love triangle. Some of that blame lies with Stewart, who understandably holds her emotions close to her chest but reveals much too little (c'mon, even an angsty girl has to be a little joyful in the arms of two different hunks). As is with the book, the film is just a bridge between sagas, so the plot drags and not a lot happens. Fortunately, while Twilight was trapped in its own self-consciousness, the wobbly-legged cast seems to have found stronger footing in New Moon; the jokes come faster, the writing (by Melissa Rosenberg, who also scribed Twilight) is a hair wittier. (Even Pattinson seems more comfortable in Edward's skin.) The Volturi, highlighted by Michael Sheen's Aro and Dakota Fanning's Jane, also make an all-too-brief impression, but at least there's more to look forward to when Eclipse, the third installment, is released. --Ellen A.

I love this movie despite it's flaws, just as I loved "Twilight." It is just so fun to see the "Twilight" series come to life on the big screen. I'm a grandmother and having so much fun from all of this! It's pure fantasy...no need to over analyze...relax and enjoy.
A great big thank you to Amazon for providing "New Moon" on line, March 20th, for those who pre-ordered the movie. That was unexpected and appreciated. That kind of service is one of the many reasons that I shop on ... Read More

I was a huge fan of "New Moon" the book and couldnt believed how they could make this wonderful book into this poorly done movie..The screenplay slighted nearly every event in the book. The director had a gold glow that just didnt work for me..All the characters looked different and not for the better...No great music, wow what happened their....I did like it better at home than at the movie theater with 20 screaming girls....****THIS IS ABOUT THE AMAZON DOWNLOAD******.....I purchased the 24 hour ...

I never say that a movie made after a book is just as good as the book. It never happens that way. But I can honestly say that I enjoyed the New Moon movie more than I enjoyed the book. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I am thrilled that the DVD release is finally here. The book was just so boring. But the way this was directed made the second book in this amazing series so much better. I am really looking forward to Eclipse and looking forward even more to Breaking Dawn - though I hope they don't ... Read More
