One of the most inhumane and emotionally deadening movies ever created

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2018)

The first Twilight was already a disaster, and i thought to myself , 'This one couldn't possibly be any worse'. Unfortunately this assumption was incorrect and thus we have an even inferior sequel to an already terrible original film.
Like the first one, New Moon doesn't seem to understand anything about humans and human emotion, which isn't a surprise since i would have expected this after the first one. However, New Moon seemingly takes itself a lot more seriously than the first one because there are numerous melodramatic scenes with cringy dialogue, terrible acting and with some music added to it like this was something that was supposed to invoke emotions in the audience. The combination of writing and acting doesn't really get any worse than this, but atleast it still somehow works as an unintentional comedy of sorts, as i found myself laughing through a lot of parts of the film that weren't supposed to be funny ( Especially Bella's performance with Volturi ). Like the first Twilight, New Moon also keeps insulting the audience's intelligence with its dumb flashbacks right after something from the past has been said, like we needed to be told twice because otherwise we wouldn't understand.
Kristen Stewart is once again terrible as Bella Swann, Robert Pattinson is also extremely unabsorbing as the completely uninteresting Edward & the addition of Taylor Lautner ( Jacob Black ) as a main character now has also not helped the movie to go forward. It really seems to me all of the actors in this franchise never even went to acting school, as all of them put emphasis on parts in sentences that i have never heard before and none of the actors seem to even understand what they are saying ( Especially Stewart, who is frequently seen shaking her head after a line or stating a long 'uhmmmm.....' before a line ).
The narrative structure is even worse than the first, as simply for plot reasons and nothing else Edward leaves Bella so when the obvious later happens ( He returns, obviously ) it is supposed to invoke emotions in us as the audience, but this lazy writing really doesn't get through to the objective movie watcher. Bella's depression state is obviously not convincing at all due to Stewart's wooden, emotionless & unimmersive and non existent acting talents that the audience does not feel anything for her at all, since we are always reminded by her terrible performance that we are watching a movie instead of being absorbed into its world ( And a particularly bad movie aswell ).
The CGI of the wolves is terrible, but the way they walk is even worse, as if it were straight out of a superhero kind of videogame. The remaining 'evil' vampires make a return for no apparant reason other than as the black guy whose name i forget states 'to kill Edward's mate as he killed Victoria's mate', yet we are supposed to believe these vampires are more than animalistic monsters ruled by instinct, yet the movie contradicts itself here once again, and all for the sake of there being some would-be tension. ( Tension, however, only works if you care about its characters, and quite frankly, you don't. ) In the end nothing at all is done with their storylines, and you keep wondering to yourself what the use of them was.
It is, even more so than the first, a constant abundance of cringeworthy scenes followed up after one another because it takes itself even more seriously than the first because of its extremely melodramatic scenes which features actors who never even went to acting school and are only capable of literally reading cue cards. Oh, and yes, it is just as insulting to the audience as the first one was, if not more.
