= The Twilight Saga: New Moon = The Twilight Saga: New Moon, commonly referred to as New Moon, is a 2009 American romantic fantasy film based on Stephenie Meyer's 2006 novel New Moon. It is the second film in The Twilight Saga film series and is the sequel to 2008's Twilight.

Plot
Bella Swan is on the cusp of her 18th birthday and blissfully happy with her undead beau Edward Cullen. While celebrating her birthday with Edward's family of `vegetarian' vampires, a frightening incident convinces Edward that he's simply too dangerous to be around his sweetheart. He decides to leave the town of Forks in order to ensure her safety - leaving her behind, angry and depressed.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Like the first film, the performance of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are mostly wooden and lifeless.
 * 2) It even lacks the charm of the original book.
 * 3) During Bella Swan's birthday in the Cullens, it goes horribly wrong.
 * 4) * Bella receives a paper cut while unwrapping one of her gifts. Causing Jasper to attempt to attack Bella however he is restrained.
 * 5) * After Edward believes that his family and him are putting Bella's life in danger, Edward abandons Bella in the woods. Causing Bella to get depressed, and never talk to her classmates ever again.
 * 6) * After a few days, Jacob Black (Bella Swan's friend) also abandons her, telling Bella to stay away from him or else he would hurt Bella.
 * 7) Bella after she gets abandoned by Edward Cullen, gets depressed and does/sees messed up things to herself.
 * 8) *Started getting nightmares.
 * 9) *No longer talking to her classmates at school.
 * 10) *Attempted suicide by jumping off of a seaside cliff by drowning, but Jacob later saves Bella.
 * 11) Notable plot holes in the film, which would confuse people who never read the book.
 * 12) *Why does Jasper attempt to attack Bella after she got a paper cut?
 * 13) *How did Jacob end up being a part of a werewolf group?
 * 14) *Even after Edward Cullen abandons Bella, for some reason Bella stills loves Edward, and tries to save Edward Cullen.
 * 15) Just like the first film, it is a complete insult to vampires. As vampires will turn to dust if they are near sunlight.
 * 16) The special effects aren't that great even for late 2009 standards.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Amazing soundtrack coming from Alexandre Desplat.
 * 2) Beautiful and gorgeous cinematography like the previous films.
