Synopsis: After Edward (Pattinson) and his family skips town, Bella (Stewart) will heal by getting closer to her childhood friend Jacob (Lautner) who also hides a paranormal secret.
Review: Sequel to the hit Twilight that I liked better than expected, New Moon can be summarized in two words: Love triangle, which not much to fill in 2h15 of film. Apart from a few action scenes (shot in the unexciting slow-motion style proper to the saga) and the new characters of werewolves (Oh what a surprise, one of the most predictable twists ever), the movie basically consists in Bella talking about her feelings for Edward by email, her feelings for Jacob to Jacob, her feeling for Edward to Jacob also, and so on and so forth. We learn only a little more about the Universe introduced in the first movie, via a ridiculous trip to Italy, but there is nothing in this movie to be remembered. Or maybe the playfulness of the werewolf teenagers that may have inspired Taika Waititi for his awesome What we do in the shadows. Will I find the courage to go through the three remaining movies?
