Critics Pick: New Moon

 
 
 
Hey, Twihards! Guess what?
 
I just saw New Moon!
 
Have YOU seen it yet?

If you loved Twilight, then you will absolutely love this second installment in the series.
 
 
 
Without giving too much of the plot away, I will just say that you need to be prepared to see Taylor Lautner without his shirt on (a lot), have your emotions go from one extreme to the next in less than a minute and choose, once and for all, whether you are on Team Edward or Team Jacob.
 
 
Everyone was pretty worried that the new director wouldn’t do as good of a job, but we think he did better! The cinematography was absolutely beautiful, the soundtrack was amazing and Bella’s clothes and makeup was way better than in Twilight. There were tons of special effects with the werewolves, but they actually looked pretty real and convincing, not corny and weird like in other movies.
 

The new characters of the movie, the Volturi, were, well, amazing and horrifying at the same time. Their scenes will definitely have you tensed in your seat. And you’ll finally see what happens to Victoria (remember her?) and Laurent. Awesome, right?!
 
Having read all of the books multiple times, I will agree that the script doesn’t follow the book as closely as I would have liked (but that’s often the case when a book is transformed into a movie), but it still does a fantastic job of capturing all the emotions felt while reading. 
 
 
Obviously, New Moon emphasizes the relationship between Bella and Jacob more than in the first movie, and Bella has to make some pretty tough decisions. So, who does she choose? Head to the theater to find out!

As one girl said while leaving the theater, “Oh my goodness! I have so many emotions right now, I don’t even know what to do with them!”

Are you going to go see New Moon? When are you seeing it and with whom? Blog it out, babes!

OMG OMG OMG I saw it on the first day it came out and it was ah-mazing!!!!! did you know that they almost didnt have the movie theatre scene :-( but Taylor and Kristen begged the directors and they put it in Smile!!!!! That was my faveee part of the book. And it was funnier than twilight, even though at some parts i don't think it was supposed to be! I LOOOOOOVED it soooo much!

mikabean on 12/3/2009 8:55:32 PM

OMG!!!!I am sooooooooooooooooooo in love with Taylor Lautner! there is this kid at my school who is like 6 that looks exactly like Taylor. if only he were older and had an 8 pack!!!!! anyway twilight was truly the best movie and i loved the ending it was so sweet!

michelle99 on 12/3/2009 5:44:41 PM

Can everyone get over Twilight already?! I ended up seeing it with my cousin, and it was WAY overdramatic and super-mushy. I guess if u like that sort of thing it was good, but i'd like to see some different kinds of movies talked about in GL. Maybe some action, or sci-fi?? like Angels and Demons and Knowing?? THOSE were great movies!

oboebs on 12/2/2009 9:31:41 PM

GO TEAM JACOB

Rahtcia on 12/2/2009 7:28:28 PM

were are the edward fans!?

mikabean on 12/2/2009 8:24:15 AM

~~MOD MOD MOD~~
Help! I have a huge crush on a celeb. I know he's out of my league but I really want to meet him. Also, I think this crush is keeping me from seeing the good in guys at my school. Help! Also, could you give me some ideas on hoe to meet this celeb? Thanks!

 

 

Hey Babes,

 

Celeb crushes are awesome, but don't let them prevent you from having relationships with regular ol' guys. Understand that celebs are uber busy ALL the time. I think the best way to meet one would be to get an invite to one of those private parties that they go to . I suppose you could also go to those signing things as well. For the mean time, keep crushin' on whoever but keep it real. There are TONS of great guys just waiting to meet you!


 

XO,

summerlover09 on 11/28/2009 11:16:44 PM

I really liked it but the book was sooooooo much better and the ending sucked. The camera guy did alot of spinnig to and all my friends said that it was great too.

legsgymnast on 11/28/2009 3:44:16 PM

the ending sucks but the rest was pretty good!

dolphin chick on 11/28/2009 2:58:25 PM

The new director made a big difference. It was much better, but I didn't like the Voltori fight very much, too similar to the fight in Twilight. But Jacob was amazing in it!!

superstar911 on 11/28/2009 1:10:29 PM

I <3 Jacob!!! GO TEAM JACOB!! *because real men dint sparkle* LOL :-D

Twilight_100 on 11/28/2009 10:51:40 AM

Saw it with my bff and other friend!!! Team Jacob 4ever! If u havent seen it yet it is SUPER good, but the ending really stinks. well, it stinks 4 the viewers, but its good 4 the producers... its gonnna make u want to see the next one! OMg. my fave part is when Bella falls off the motorcycle and Jacob rips his shirt off so he can help soak up the blood on her cut. It's like... he's really hot, and then he takes his shirt off and it's like OMG SUPER TOTAL MEGA HOTNESS!! I personally think that Jacob and Bella would make a much cuter couple than Edward and Bella. I mean, Jacob is all tan and has like a 12 pack and Edward is all pale and has like, a no pack.Oh and btw I like Jacobs hair short... I know Bella likes it long but I like it short because then you can see his super cute face!!! omg, did i really just spend that much time talking about Taylor Lautner???? Bye!

teamjacob74 on 11/28/2009 9:35:41 AM

The movie was SOOOO good I cant wait to see it again and I cant wait for the DVD to come out!
♥TEAM JACOB!♥

potterfreak11 on 11/27/2009 10:25:11 PM

OMG JACOB IS SO HOT

kjt97 on 11/27/2009 9:18:01 PM

awww new moon was one of the best movies ive seen in a LONG time!!! :] EVERYONE needs to see it!! but b prepared 4 a horrible ending!!!! :]

paige123ang456 on 11/27/2009 6:56:42 PM

I saw New Moon and it was great! But some of the girls need to decide whose team thier on (me team edward)-- without basing it on seeing Taylor Lautner shirtless.

diva6071 on 11/27/2009 6:32:30 PM

i live in a small town but on openin night (thursady night at midnight or friday morn btw I WAS THERE) id bet 4/5 of twon was there it was AWSOME

kykid321 on 11/27/2009 5:41:58 PM

OMG!!!! AAAWWWEEESSSOOOOMMMMEEEE!!!!
Books totally beat the movies, but the movies are pretty great too! I liked New Moon better than Twilight, how 'bout you? Here a few characters I think the directors got right in casting...
Charlie S.- Billy Burke
Whole Cullen Family
JACOB BLACK- TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!
Charlie is an awesome character! "Ch,Ch. Bring 'em in..."
Go Team Jacob!!!!
No offense Edward... you're still pretty cool... except for what you did to Bella....
Kristen Stewert is NOT how I pictured Bella... she's toooooooooo, idk, she just acts the same in all her movies with not a lot of reaction. You can tell she doesn't show her emotions very often.
But she sounds like a good person Caitlin R.

IMchocoholic on 11/27/2009 4:16:15 PM

OMG The movie was great!!!!!! Especially Taylor shirtless. I went TWICE on friday night. Once with my family and once with my friends! The first time Taylor takes off his shirt in the movie every girl in the theater just started gasping. We were wll like "OH MY GOSH!!!!" It was sooooo much fun.
P.S. I'm totally team Jacob!

Check out my profile!!
*Peace Out*

kiddo916 on 11/27/2009 4:00:58 PM

I think the movie was o-mazing. Me and 2 friends went with 1 of their moms and 1 of thier grandmothers. Our favorite part: Taylor Lauter shirtless almost the whole movie. Even my friend's grand mother siad he was hot. 1 thing I wanted to see was this 1 line that was Taylor Lautner's favorite line that Jacob said. It was when he was talking to Bella and he asked, "Does my being half naked bother you?" I mean that was gonna b the funniest part. O well, it was still the best movie of all time.

cmn5297 on 11/27/2009 1:28:35 PM

I saw New Moon on the day it came out and it was AWESOME! I think there was a bit to much comedy for my taste but overall it was way better than the Twilight movie! My favorite book out of the Twilight Saga though not New Moon has to be Breaking Dawn.

fanpire2015 on 11/27/2009 8:18:08 AM

New moon was amazing. i just saw it today . It was just like a soap oprea. Everyone was good in the movie. When Jacob first took his shirt off, a girl started screaming like CRAZY! then she almost passed out.Now at the end it was jaw dropping. i can't wait till june when the next movie comes out.

MayB.4ever on 11/26/2009 7:20:23 PM

New moon was amazing. It was so action packed and both Taylor and Kristen did an amazing job. Kristen's hair, clothes, make up and everything looked so much better with the new director. Taylor was so buff it was incredible but Rob you need to work out and shave your stomach. The ending was horrible, they ended it 3/4 of the way through the book. The only thing that bugged me was the vampires looked horrible. Expecally Rosalie, She looked to dark and she didn't look pretty. Other then that New moon was amazing and I am seeing it again on Sunday.

Team Jacob!

corncrazy!!! on 11/26/2009 1:47:35 PM

omg new moon was good!!! twilight was way better though- i think. It was still pretty good though. OMJ TAYLOR LAUTNER DID SOO WELL!!!!! DID U SEE HIS BOD?!!!? HE IS SOOOO HOT!!!! ps in case you didnt figure it out, im on his team!! It was funny because when i saw it i went with my bff and shes on edwards team. so whenever jake would come on i was like "YEAH!! HE IS SOOO GORGEOUS!!!" and shed be like "eww" and the other way around when edward came on we laughed when the wolves fought even though it wasnt funny.... good times! but anyways i thought twilight was WAYYY better then new moon but they both rock and I LOVVVEEE TAYLOR HE ROCKS!!!!! But the books are the best out of all of them and stephanie meyers is a great writer and i love her work!!!!

america_505 on 11/25/2009 11:33:13 PM

check out my profile and leave a comment!!

Littlejo on 11/24/2009 7:22:38 PM

HOT and HOT! Thats what it was.

I have a weakness for hot vampire guys without their shirts on. And the movie was filled with shirtless male bodies.

It was funny because the theater we went to almost had no guys or men in it and it was almost crazy girls girls and moms like us. We loved it because some people would even scream when we saw them shirtless.

Is that what happened where you went to see it at because one of my friends who went to another theater said it was about the same?

luckykel on 11/24/2009 6:53:57 PM

Omg i loved New moon i went with 2 of my friends and 1 of my sisters. Taylor Lautner shirtless so many times H.O.T.. The scene where Jacob is shirtless in Bella's room hugging her closely and tightly me and my friend turned to each other and said "how much we would pay to be her right now," In my opinion New moon was 100000x better than twilight sry but go Chris Weitz!!<3

cmul3 on 11/24/2009 4:46:36 PM

now because of taylor lautner, im TEAM JACOB !! he is sooo hawt ;) Im down with edward Foot

olivia13 on 11/23/2009 8:22:40 PM

Oh My Laura on 11/23/2009 4:15:22 PM

I liked New Moon waaaay better than Twilight. I'm seeing it again this Saturday. I still thought some of the acting stunk (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinsion... etc)

twilightgrrl678 on 11/23/2009 3:10:29 PM

TAYLOR LAUTNER SHIRTLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might get to see it tomorrow, or maybe Sunday- it kinda depends on what my parents decide we're doing for Thanksgiving
