Twilight Nation will storm theaters this weekend as The Twilight Saga: New Moon finally arrives, continuing the story of Bella, Edward, the werewolves and the drama in Forks, Washington. Regardless of how Peter Travers feels about New Moon in this weeks At the Movies, Rolling Stones film critic knows he cant stop the Twilight juggernaut from raking in the cash the franchise is so powerful, he points out, rival studios were afraid to release movies against it.
Read our New Moon review here.
This movie is for nine-year-old girls, and the nine-year-old girl inside of all of us, Travers says in his New Moon review. But his nine-year-old girl is critical: he says young cast didnt have enough time to adequately learn how to act between the first film and this sequel, so once again Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner pose while a movie goes on around them. At one point, Frost/Nixon actor Michael Sheen, playing a millennium-old vampire, appears onscreen and puts on an acting clinic, but other than that, this film is about one thing: Team Edward vs. Team Jacob.
Read our interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz.
Last movie it was all about Pattinson, but now Lautners Jacob Black steps into the spotlight as a werewolf who gets embroiled in the Bella love triangle. For guys who are reluctantly being forced to see this movie this weekend with their girlfriends, there is some good news: Director Chris Weitz serves up more action than the films predecessor. And for the ladies, it seems like Pattinson and Lautner are constantly engaged in a Shirt-Off Sweepstakes, which Lautner eventually wins. But lets face it: Travers could give this film a negative-three star review and itll still make more at the box office than most nations gross national product.
