Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob Black, who has a supernatural secret of his own and is a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe.
When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally-large wolves saves her from a grisly fate. The encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger.
I have not read any of the "Twilight" books and I'm certainly not part of the crowd that MUST see Edward & Jacob in this latest edition of the series. I was, however, intrigued enough to want to see it.
In my review of the first installment, I noted about my disappointment that it was more a love story than a vampire movie. That was due in part to trailers that promised things that the movie didn't deliver. For this episode, I was more prepared and knew what "Twilight" is really about, and went into the theatre anticipating a gripping love story using vampires and werewolves as a twist.
I am all for a good love story but it isn't my first choice.
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" didn't impress me with its direction and story, but I do consider it a decent date/teen movie.
If you liked the first movie, you'll likely enjoy this one a little more.
Rated: PG-13 (Some violence and action)
3 buckets.
