New Moon movie reviews

New Moon’ reviews are in, from the Vatican to the critics – opinions aplenty

At long last, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ has arrived in theatres for its much anticipated release Scores of reviews are now in, and they seem to be split between positive and negative. 30% of Tomatometer Critics at RottenTomatoes.com, gave ‘New Moon’ a positive review. Of course, it is still very early on for the results to be fairly representative of an overall consensus. The bottom line is, reviews are coming in, and everyone from the Vatican to well known critics have their opinions.

The following is a brief list of some of the ‘New Moon’ reviews, reported by huffingtonpost.com:

Rogert Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times: “Since they know it all and we know all, sitting through this experience is like driving a pickup in low gear though a sullen sea of Brylcreem.”

Claudia Puig of USA Today: “New Moon, the film version, does nothing to add depth to a shallow tale.”

Laremy Legel of Film.com says ‘New Moon’ is :”a treat, a legitimate artistic expression on love, loss, and the obsessive qualities of initial attraction.”

MTV’s Kurt Loder: “‘New Moon’ is a notable improvement over ‘Twilight,’” noting there’s “not quite so much moony young-adult yearning (although Lord knows there’s enough of it); and there’s a little more action.”

Even the Vatican has an opinion. Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, the Vatican’s culture council leader released a statement saying of ‘New Moon’: “This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element.” He adds, “This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern.”
