The Twilight Saga: New Moon Reactions

Last night at 12:01am, the screams died down as the opening credits began to role on the second film in the Twilight Saga franchise. Twi-hards were up way past bedtime, but before they resided for the night they made sure to sound off about the film. So far the reactions to The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) have been split down the middle; some love it, some hate it. Check out what the Twilight world, the critics, and tweeters are saying about The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009).

New Moon parties began at the fall of dusk and didn't stop until the wee hours of the morning. While some are paying for the lack of sleep today, the adrenaline from New Moon is getting the sleepy through the day. Yesterday was a whirlwind day in New York City as the cast hopped around Manhattan making appearances and greeting fans.

New Moon fans were packed in Time Square yesterday while Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene greeted 500 plus fans at the Toys-R-Us store for an autograph signing. Across town Robert Pattinson, Taylor Launter, and Kristen Stewart and the rest of the cast walked the red carpet at a top secret New Moon screening (something that an official Summit Entertainment representative flat-out denied to us was going to take place.) As the actors wind down their press tour, it is time for the fans to take center stage and express their reactions to New Moon.

Twilight Community

"It's 100 times better than the first movie, where nobody seemed to speak. Now the actors have more to say to each other, and it's easier to develop their characters. If they keep going this way, the series is just going to get better and better." - Katherine Lusignan, 20, of Chateauguay
"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." - Twilight Novel Novice

Critics Corner

"Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass (2007)) has crafted a film with visual flair and polish, particularly in the action sequences of werewolves vs. vampire" .- Stephen Whitty of the New Jersey Star-Ledger
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead." - Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times
"Look, there's nothing terribly serious or heavy going on in New Moon, despite a lot of nonsense in the screenplay about souls and damnation. The performances are uniformly strong, especially by Stewart, who is turning into a fine young actress." - Michael O'Sullivan of the Washington Post.

Twittersphere

lcmom77 - "New Moon was so awesome. Everyone did such a great job even though it's such a serious book the whole cast made us laugh."
