New Moon doesn't improve from its predecessor.

Rating: 4/10 (18 February 2019)

The movie builds on the story that Twilight set up. Bella and Edward are together but they break up soon because Edward doesn't want to hurt her and he feels like he cannot do it being a vampire and her being a human, but he doesn't want to turn her into a vampire either. So he leaves Washington and also her behind. Because of sadness she turns to someone to fill the gap Edward left behind.
New Moon makes story wise the same mistakes Twilight made. It is incredibly slow, very little happens in the first 90 minutes of the movie. The final in Italy is good but it can't save what everything else did wrong. Another problem are the extremely slow dialogues - again: just like in Twilight. Bella stutters so often, that's probably true to her character, but still it isn't entertaining to watch. And what makes the dialogues even harder to watch is that they are long and both Edward and Jacob need a lot of time to respond as well as Bella. Adding to that: The two actors didn't make me believe that they really are in love. I didn't believe Edward and I didn't believe Bella. There was just not enough chemistry between them and even the dialogues didn't make a good job showing their love. Lastly, the way the final was set up: I'm sorry but it just doesn't make sense it all and they could have made a much better job doing it.
Even worse and slower than the first movie but the final act saves New Moon at least a bit.
