The Twilight sequel New Moon opened in New Zealand at midnight last night with its army of devoted fans, (or Twi-Hards) guaranteeing its success regardless of the verdict from critics.
 
Film3 reviewer David Farrier was among the screaming masses at the midnight screening and has survived to tell the tale.

Ummm, Lucy; "If ya dont like vampire and werewolf stories".

Twilight dosent follow anything of the vampire and werewolf folklore. Stephanie Meyer is a joke!

Seriously It was not just young teenie boppers who went to the midnight screening im 25 and love the series. If ya dont like vampire and werewolf stories then dont see the movie as of course you will write a bad review. New Moon was awesome and I thought the acting very good.
I cant wait till Eclipse :)

saw new moon at the midnight screeening. although it took an extra half an hour to start it was totally worth it.
you may not like the twilight series but you cannot say its not well written, stephanie meyer has won
•A New York Times Editor's Choice
•A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year
•An Amazon.com "Best Book of the Decade...So Far"
•A Teen People "Hot List" pick
•An American Library Association "Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults" and "Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers”
all four of her books are amazing and deffinately were well written
I have also read the harry potter series, but i cannot say Harry Potters message is better than the Twilight series.
twilight shows messages of the importance of friendship, family and love. new moon demonstates MUCH MORE THAN HAVING A BOYFRIEND as Edward (the boyfriend)leaves for 3/4 of the movie, and Bellas BESTFRIEND is the one to help her through. The twilight series is NOT crap and does not give hope to other authors, for us (the readers) it is an amazing four books and are really enjoyable. Have you even read all the books? I doubt so.
new moon the movie lives upto the books expectations. i do not think it was slow, it was a severly emotional movie and you got so involved by Kirsten Stewarts acting. There was a LOT of action, the wolf scenes (thanks to amazing CGI), cliff diving, Italy etc. it was an actionpacked movie and deserves all of the recognition is has recieved. it smashed the box office records of harry potter and the half blood prince and even the dark night. it attracts a wide variety of readers, from teens to adults. harry potter is seclusive and does not range for the variety of readers out there.
i loved the twilight series and the movies are amazing, i cannot wait for Eclipse to come out it will deffinately be as exceptional as the first two.
i am not a "twi-hard" but this is truely an amazing series that deserves full recognition!

I don't understand why Twilight is so popular. I mean, Harry Potter, that was actually well written. I'm not a fan of either but at least HP's message was that friendship is important, and that one must stick to what is right, even in times of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend. I guess this would provide hope for many writers around the world. Because if this crap could get published, then whatever you write has a chance too!

I have just finished reading New Moon and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie asap, after the masses have had their fill. The trailers look really good and I am looking forward to seeing how huge they have made these wolves look.
