Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 30 mins) Just before Jacob almost kisses Bella, he says "Kwop kilawtley," which means "stay with me forever" in Quileute.
- Goofs(at around 55 mins) When Bella finds Jacob in the rain, she slams her car door and it doesn't shut fully. The next scene you see the car shut completely.
- Quotes
Edward Cullen: It's my job to protect you. From everyone, except my sister.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available. One is the original Theatrical Cut (TC), and the other is an Extended Cut (EC). As noted in the IMDB "Technical Specifications" section, the EC runs about 7 minutes longer. It consists of additional footage incorporated into the film, instead of separated as a Deleted Scenes feature.

Featured review
Speechless.........
Admittedly I have only in the last 2 days watched Twilight and New Moon and I am totally baffled by the popularity of these movies. Especially New Moon this film was TERRIBLE. Taylor Lautner cannot act to save himself, yet next to Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson he looked like he had the talent of Catherine Hepburn.
Now, about the acting.... Kirsten Stewart has one face and that is the "semi-sad" look. For the most part ot simply looked like she couldn't wait for the film to be over. Robert Pattinson has one face and that is also the "semi-sad" look. I think he may be this decades answer to Luke Perry. There was a valid reason that the period between 90210 and Twilight had no "Luke Perry types". They can't act!! I fail to see the appeal. Taylor Lautner constantly does that thing where it looks like he is gazing about 20 metres away trying to read micro-printed reading cards and his lines come out accordingly.
And did it bother anyone else that Bella is just so accepting of the fact that vampires and werewoves exist???
Now I know these are movies made to be aimed at teens and tweens, but for crying out loud at least TRY and make a decent film. There are Werewolves and Vampires present. Shouldn't there be epic battles and much blood lust??
Here are a few points that came to mind: 1) Twilight refers to the beginning of the evening between sunset and dusk and when Vampires and Werewolves get ready to come out to play. They ARE NOT daywalkers. If the characters are daywalkers then "twilight" is a pointless time of the day and had no reference to the story..... 2) Calling a movie New Moon where you introduce werewolves into the story would be OK, if the "moon" had anything to do with their ability to turn. Having them as daywalkers as I stated in point 1 defeats the purpose altogether. You may as well have called the story "Cheesecake", such was the relevance. (Mmmmmm Cheesecake).... 3) Vampires and Werewolves are creatures of legend and not a bunch of sorry ass "Emo" teens. They are vicious and bloodthirsty, not whiny and desperate.
Perhaps Stephanie Meyers has them confused with Waaah-wolves and Vam-criers? Yes?........
I am yet to watch Eclipse but it will need to be a vast improvement on New Moon because it was possibly the worst sequel ever....and yes I am including Police Academies 2 through 7!!!
A very generous 4/10 at best.
