Description
In the second chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s excellent-selling Twilight series, the romance between mortal Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) grows extra intense as ancient secrets threaten to destroy them. When Edward leaves in an effort to keep Bella safe, she tests fate in increasingly reckless ways in order to glance her love one time extra. But when she’s saved from the brink by her friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Bella will uncover mysteries of the supernatural world this will put her in extra peril than ever before.
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, delivers a lighter, extra 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 much of the film; afterwards an accident on Bella's birthday reminds Edward this her life is always at risk when he's all-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 extra aggressive (together 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, for the reason that this'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 much dangerous vampires hold together 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 this blame lies together with Stewart, who understandably holds her emotions shut 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 together 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 in addition scribed Twilight) is a hair wittier. (Even Pattinson seems extra comfortable in Edward's skin.) The Volturi, highlighted by Michael Sheen's Aro and Dakota Fanning's Jane, in addition do an all-too-brief impression, but at least there's extra to look forward to when Eclipse, the third installment, is released. --Ellen A.

I haven't actually viewed the movie as of yet, but I received it timely & I've never had a problem with any dvd's I've ever ordered, so I'm confident that the dvds will be very good.
I give up.   2010-07-25
By Admiralissimo Voodoo Randy (Ohio)
Being a lover of all things vampire, I really WANT to like The Twilight Saga. Before seeing "New Moon," I saw it as a chance for redemption, since the first film in this series was tolerable, yet slow and a bit shallow. But after seeing this film, I'm convinced that I should give up and move onto something new. This entire film could've been replaced by 130 minutes of Taylor Lautner running around with his shirt off, and I would've felt like I actually got my money's worth. At least the plot would be more interesting that way.
Buyer beware   2010-07-25
By Melinda McCabe (INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, US)
The DVD was scratched, the case was a little damaged and the leaflet was not in the case. This seller should be honest what she/he/they are putting out and not lie how new it is.
