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.

Lessons of Darkness

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

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

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.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Critics at Large

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.

I have read the books now and now I love this movie even more. I think this is the best of the twilight franchise in terms of film and book. If you’re a twilight fan, I believe you would love this movie as much as I loved it when I first watched it, I didn’t like it, but I after reading the books. I liked it.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
