Not as good as the first or third

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2017)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the the third best in the series. It's not as good or entertaining as the first or eclipse in my opinion. The cast and acting is pretty much all the exact same, it's a little cheesy at times but overall it's fair. The script is average, it's really what you would expect from this type of film. This movie explores Bella's relationship with Jacob (Taylor Lautner). After Edward leaves her because of an attack that nearly kills her, she copes some by her friendship with Jacob. I liked seeing her relationship with Jacob play out and what all that meant, and I think that Kristen Stewart handled this movie well. This installment is less entertaining though than the other ones because there are moments in the movie, long stretches of time where it's pretty dull, nothing much of any importance goes on. And that is why I'm not rating it as high as twilight or eclipse. The movie just becomes boring in places, and I wish they would've done more to make it more interesting in those places. The visual effects are done pretty well, miles better than breaking dawn. Overall, of you're a twilight saga fan, you'll probably like it. I liked it alright, I thought it was fair, but not to the caliber of the first or third, but better than the breaking dawns. 6/10
