An okay sequel!

Rating: 6/10 (23 September 2015)

The film follows Bella Swan as Edward Cullen leaves Forks, Washington with his family after a conflict with his brother Jasper Cullen trying to kill Bella on her 18th birthday. Bella starts being depressed for months after her unexpected breakup with Edward. However, her dad decides to send her back to her mom until she starts spending time with her friends and develops a strong relationship with Jacob Black.
That is just the main premise of the story, but there is more to this movie's confusing and incoherent plot.
I'm not going to cry like a little girl over this film but I hate this movie. It's a sequel based on a book of the same name by Stephanie Meyer and I thought it would interest me but after watching this film with my sister LeeAnn, I just walked out my room in disgust and a lot of angry.
The plot is confusing as heck because it's really dumb and not a good idea. A lot of critics put down this movie which I am glad they did because this movie does not deserve to have universal critical acclaim and it's not really good at all. The plot is slowly paced and it's very long -- being at 130 freaking minutes long -- I will not watch The Twilight Saga: NEW MOON ever again in my life. I read the book and it's okay. I loved the book version, but once I watched the movie, I just found myself saying, "What in the heck did I just watch?". That is exactly how much I hate this movie.
The one part of "NEW MOON" that really got me mad is when Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, is screaming in her sleep after Edward leaves (because she misses him) throughout the whole darn movie. That is just stupid and what an outrageous idea. By the time she finally stopped screaming, I was really ready for this movie to end quickly, but i had to see more of this slow-paced movie. Her screaming, it definitely drove me crazy.
They spent a cheap worth of money on this movie and this movie succeeds at the box office? The film cost $50 million dollars to make. Man, that is crazy. If i have to say anything nice about this movie, I will bring up the acting and the music. The music is by far, really good by Alexandre Desplat, who would later go on to compose the final two films in the Harry Potter film franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2".
The acting, from my point of view, falls flat. But I will give credit to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and also Dakota Fanning, who plays Jane, while Stewart and Pattinson are playing Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, for a second time. Michael Sheen plays the role of Volturi leader Aro and he is really good and he played the werewolf character, Lucian in "Underworld", "Underworld: Evolution" and "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans". He played that part wonderfully and to see him in a TWILIGHT film is spectacular.
Taylor Lautner plays the role of Jacob Black once again and he does a good job, too, but even then, it's incredibly over the top and he tries way too hard to make Kristen Stewart's character, Bella, like him. I do love the CGI werewolf version of Jacob, but the rest of the CGI is terrible. Some of the dialogue is horrible, but some of it is also really good. The pacing and editing is slow and awkward.
So, overall, I love and hate NEW MOON! I know it has it's fan base and THE TWILIGHT SAGA films does have it's fan base, so if you like this movie, that's fine, because we all have our own opinions.
