New Moon "(The Twilight Saga: New Moon) actors Stewart and Pattinson play serious passions before the camera. However, Kristen's face is always about the same thing - complete indifference. On the Internet about this occasion appeared joke photocaptures.
But the image of Bella Swan, even in the unskilfulperformance of Stewart, is attractive enough, especially for young ladies. Looking at it, every young lady must have imagined herself in this image, so nobody was particularly picky about playing the actress. Nevertheless, professional critics still awarded Miss Stewart "Golden Raspberry" in 2009.

Perhaps, the real relationships that existed between them during the shootings and were broken with a bang in 2012 because of the betrayal of Stuart prevented the hero from getting liberated.

Gradually, he begins to feel attracted tohis girlfriend, but Bella stubbornly does not notice this. When the secret of Jacob reveals itself, and it becomes known that he is actually a werewolf, the situation only gets complicated: from now on the guy competes with Cullen not only for the girl, but also for the territory on which vampires should not appear.
Also the young man defends with all his mightbeloved of the vampire Victoria, who is going to destroy the girl in retaliation for a long-standing conflict with the Cullens.

Carlisle is tolerant of Edward's decisionto make a relationship with the mortal. It seems to him that a vampire is in a position to restrain himself, because he also copes somehow: while working as a doctor, Carlisle sees human blood every day, but is not tempted by it.

Reviews
The film "Twilight. Saga.New Moon ”(actors, plot including) has been repeatedly criticized by periodicals. In the world, the rating of the saga, according to film critics, is only 28% (that is, 220 official reviews have 159 negative reviews). In Russia, this figure is slightly higher. However, the IMDb site rated the film as 6.0.
In their articles, critics say thatmaterial for the plot chosen primitive. And even a director like Chris Weitz is not able to save him. There are attacks not only in the direction of non-professionalism of actors, but even in the address of make-up artists: Edward Cullen’s unnaturally white face looks like a mask, and there is no hint of organicity.
Also, critics touched on the issue of "tightness"the movie. The action develops in it too slowly, but even this does not upset: there is no conflict in the picture at all. Throughout the show, Bella is tormented by Edward’s leaving. Somewhere in the final, Victoria is preparing to kill her, but this is not a particular problem.
And then, too many logical inconsistenciesslips into the plot. Is Edward trying to commit suicide? But this is ridiculous: he is immortal! Why does he always appear in the life of Bella as a ghost, if he decided to break with her forever? How does he know that she is in danger, because, according to the plot, he cannot read her thoughts and cannot see the future?
Viewers' comments
In the address of the vampire melodrama pour a variety of reviews.
"ABOUT! The film "Twilight. Saga. New Moon "is something!", - the romantic schoolgirl will exclaim.
"What nonsense!", - the lady in thirty will tell.
"What bad taste and lack of talent!" - Said the man with the director's or acting education.
But the viewer from any category will confirm that a certain special atmosphere reigns in the film, which leaves a long aftertaste.
In addition, experts on the book Stephanie Meyer argue that Chris Weitz very carefully treated the source material, and many scenes from the book left virtually untouched.
Одним словом, этот фильм невозможно оценить unequivocally: there is a terrible acting game and forced directing, but at the same time the story itself is attractive for women and very romantic. Perhaps, if more expressive actors were chosen, the situation would change for the better. But, based on what has already been shot, this film can be called exclusively “adolescent”, because only in 13 years you can ignore the stone face of the main character, if there is such a nice guy next to her (even with an unnatural makeup) .
