New Moon Fan Reviews

REELZ — 19 Nov 2009 11:02:44 CDT

Critic reviews for the second Twilight Saga movie have run the gamut. However, when it comes to die-hard fans, the decision to see New Moon was made weeks ago. Entertainment Weekly reports that the movie is breaking pre-sales records and that Fandango has sold out several thousand New Moon showtimes.

But what will Twilight fans think of the movie? Will it be worth the wait? For a good indication, we looked to an early review posted on the fansite Novel Novice Twilight. Here's a recap of what their reviewer had to say:

Okay, I'm just going to say it. The Twilight Saga: New Moon is not a perfect movie. Critics — the really nasty ones — are going to nitpick and tear it to shreds. Which is really a shame, because while it is not a perfect movie — it's a wonderfully enjoyable movie. (For this fan, at least.) I’ll be honest, New Moon is my least favorite of the books — but I felt a new sense of appreciation for it while watching it unfold on the big screen.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon is also a huge step-up from Twilight, in many ways. The overall scope and feel of the entire movie is both bigger and better.... And oddly enough — it actually felt to me like there was more romance between Bella and Edward in New Moon than there was in the first movie.... Can I also just say thank you to the folks who injected New Moon with all the action scenes?

For more fan reviews, come back tomorrow for our First Fans segment. And let us know what you think of the New Moon by posting a comment on the movie page.

Summit and Stephenie Meyer in Breaking Dawn Talks

JENNY DAVIES — 19 Nov 2009 09:37:26 CDT

With the release of the New Moon movie imminent, Stephenie Meyer answered fan questions on her official site, and touched on the question of a Breaking Dawn movie.

On the possibility of a fourth movie she said, "At this point in time, we're in talks. I would love to see BD made if it could be made well. It's a little bit trickier than the others." A "little bit trickier" is an understatement, Mrs. Meyer — surely "almost impossible" would be a better term to use?

With accelerated growth children who kill their mothers, no action, and a plot slower than The Order of the Phoenix, Breaking Dawn could very easily be the end of Meyer's reign of success. We'll have to wait and see if Summit officially announces the movie after New Moon's guaranteed success — after all, Twilight fans are going to need something to keep them going until the Eclipse release in June.

And who knows, maybe a re-worked movie could help the cause. For our thoughts, see Breaking Dawn: Will the Movie Beat the Book?

New Moon Reviews

REELZ — 18 Nov 2009 16:15:59 CDT

We've all been waiting a whole year for the New Moon movie. Was it worth it? There aren't many reviews available at the moment, but general vibe is "It's better than Twilight."

"While this second chapter of Summit Entertainment's four-part franchise is as good as Twilight and arguably a shade better, it's indisputably darker in its depiction of the throes and woes of adolescent love, especially when one gets dumped."

— Jordan Mintzer, Variety

"[Director] Weitz brings a few more flickers of humour to the narrative, but the essential, appealing earnestness of the book remains, whole-heartedly embraced. New Moon is a story about longing, and loss, and the dangers of desire."

— Philippa Hawker, The Age (Australia)

"This is a soap opera, folks — and acceptable escapism for those old enough to see it yet still young enough to shriek at undead dreamboats."

— Anna Smith, Time Out New York

"The movie is best enjoyed for its dowdy sops to teen culture — vampires with email addresses, lycanthropes with six-packs — but for anyone on the outside looking in, the insulation of the characters from real danger makes it a bit of a drag."

— Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph (UK)

"This is still one of the silliest movie franchises out there and one which is totally critic proof. People will still go see it even if there are verifiable reports that watching it makes your eyes bleed."

— James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page

"...takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead."

— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Tracking New Moon's Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner

REELZ — 18 Nov 2009 15:51:23 CDT

With the New Moon premiere out of the way, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are making the promotional rounds before the movie's opening weekend. Given the record number of ticket sales at this point, their appearances are, in all practicality, more of a gift to the fans than a necessary marketing push.

Tonight, Pattinson will be on Late Show with David Letterman, and as you can imagine, hoards of fans and photographers flooded the streets outside the studio to see him arrive. You can see a gallery of shots at Gossip Center. After Letterman, fans can switch the channel to catch Stewart on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

And for anyone who missed Lautner's appearance on The Jay Leno Show earlier in the week, you can see it below. The clips include footage of his appearance on the Mickey Mouse Show years ago, tales of one passionate Twilight Mom at a recent signing, and a new, exclusive New Moon scene.

Team Jacob and Team Edward Twilight Ultimate Fan Winners

REELZCHANNEL STAFF — 16 Nov 2009 19:57:00 CDT

When it comes to devoted fans, the Twilight Saga literally has millions — most of them swearing their allegiance to either Edward or Jacob. So what does it take to win the title of either's "Ultimate Fan"? We started our search not knowing the answer to that question.

But the choice became clear when we sorted through the many impassioned, creative entries we received. The Team Jacob and Team Edward Ultimate Fans were announced today on Twilight Weekly: Spotlight. You can see their winning videos below, plus learn more about their Twilight Saga devotion.

Team Jacob – Laycie Jensen Bowers

Hometown: Elsinore, Utah (but now lives in Provo)

More About Me: I'm a hairdresser with a personal studio in my home. Most days are spent with my children, family, and friends sharing our dedication to the Latter-Day Saint faith. In my free time, I devote myself to my passions, which include the Relief Society, writing, traveling with my husband and children, and reading a variety of novels in every genre.

Favorite book in the Twilight Series: You can't complete the puzzle without every piece! Twilight is a series and to break it up would be absurd, but if I had to pick just one piece, I suppose it would have to be Breaking Dawn as everyone — including Jacob — gets a happy ending.

How many times did you see Twilight in the theaters: 5

How many tmies did you see Twilight on Blu-ray?: 4 (I'm more excited about New Moon, though.

When did you buy your tickets for New Moon?: July 18th, 2009 — it was the first day that Twilightmoms.com announced the New Moon Release Party dates and had tickets available for purchase. I purchased six for me and my friends. All of us are going as a character from the books. I'm Bella ... CAN'T wait! I look forward to winning the costume contest there, also! Anything Twilight is so much fun!

Team Edward – Kaitlin, Emma, Chelsea

Hometown: Marquette, Michigan

More About Us: We are best friends that became close about a year ago. We all met through Twilight and since Kaitlin loves to direct and Emma and Chelsea love to act, we decided to make a video about the thing that brought us together. We started making pointless videos and posting them on YouTube, but our rap video has gotten the most views and comments. We just love Twilight and are happy that other people enjoy the video.

Favorite book in the Twilight Series: Eclipse!

How many times did you see Twilight in the theaters: 8

How many times did you see Twilight on DVD?: 80 (We know every single line that is said and we can recite the lines anytime, anywhere.)

When did you buy your tickets for New Moon?: October 31st (Halloween!)

Kellan Lutz Calls A Nightmare on Elm Street "Scary"

RYAN GOWLAND — 11 Nov 2009 09:29:02 CDT

Kellan Lutz may be pretty busy as Emmet Cullen in The Twlight Saga, but he still found time to play a role in the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Lutz joked to About.com that he may take over a surprise role.

It's great. I kill Jackie Earle Haley and take away his glove and sweater — the sweater itches.

Lutz will actually play Dean, one of Freddy's potential victims, and while he didn't give out any spoilers, he did promise that the movie will be scary.

It's really cool to be a part of something that now, since all our minds are so corrupted with blood, guts and gore, that this generation, it takes something special to scare our generation now. It's revamped. And where 10 years ago, someone just knocking on the door, you're like "Oh, w-who is that?" You know, what Nightmare on Elm Street is gonna show, it's scary. If you guys haven't seen the trailer, you know, how it's shot and the things that you will see from the movie will scare you. And it's a great psychological thriller.

Lutz was apparently pretty comfortable making the movie, having grown up watching the previous Nightmare flicks.

It's such a blessing to be a part of something that for me, I grew up with. And a lot of things scared me growing up — mainly my brothers picking on me. But as far as Jason or Chucky, I had a Chucky doll, like those things didn't scare me. But Freddy Krueger, there's something... it's this psychological thriller that can take you in your dreams, you know? It's something that you can't physically take care of on your own.
