I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I think that kids 10+ could handle it. If your child hasn't seen couple's kissing or shirtless boys/men before this may not be for them. But, I think that most kids can handle it. Besides, most younger kids would not grasp the unhealthy relationship Bella and Edward have.
I LOVE the Twilight series. Books and movies!
Personally, I'd say that the movies are better than the books, because they do less cursing.
In the first Twilight movie, there is only one scene of profanity. Only one exclamation of "What the h***."
But this one has more exclamation of it plus remarks that include: Da**it, What the h*** and Oh my God.
There's only one use of the d-word, but frequent uses of What the h***. But still, the movie is far more mild than the book.
These movies are SO not appropriate for young girls. When the first movie came out, we took our daughter and she 12. All Bella did the entire movie was LUST over Edward! They longed for the kiss in the end of the movie. Now, the second movie, we get to hear Edward and Bella moan every time they kiss. And don't forget about Jacob. Now all they do is flirt with each other. What message are we sending young girls? We need to keep our kids young...not forcing them to grow up so quickly. They'll have plenty of years to be grown ups. Lastly, this is supposed to be a vampire movie...not a romance.

Fine for the kids, nothing overly violent.
I loved the whole saga and my kids do too. They distinguish this all from reality just fine and it has made them less afraid of monsters I think! New Moon was great...I will let them watch Eclipse too, but will hold off on Breaking Dawn til they are a teen if it plays out like the book.
This movie is just... terrible. Bella acts absolutely crazy, to the point where me and my family were discussing how the only way this movie could be even remotely watchable was if Bella was /supposed/ to be mentally insane. The relationship between Bella and Edward isn't healthy. It's dysfunctional and just plain unpleasant to watch. Do fellow teenage girls really think that being so clingy and absolutely obsessed over someone to the point where you spiral into an uncontrollable depression and can't even live the moment something goes wrong or things get difficult is part of a good relationship? Really? How does anyone find this appealing? Me and my family almost couldn't manage watching it to the end.
It was annoying to watch Bella be so obsessive over Edward. Screaming in her sleep? That was just bizarre. And I'm 12. I'm a hard critic. However, the only good thing was Taylor Lautner, who is actually good looking and gives you a break from Robert Patterson. Taylor's shirtlessness (yes, I invented a new word) was better than Robert's, who's pants were a bit low when he was shirtless, so it just looked awful. Anyway, back on the subject. Bella just was a TERRIBLE role model. She doesn't know how to live her life without Edward and life is full of breakups, so get over yourself girl. She acted quite immature for her age. Jacob is way too patient, caring, and understanding to be around that girl. He needs to use those lovely skills elsewhere and not spend his precious time on lame, weak Bella Swan.
This movie is an insult to werewolfs and vampires everywhere!! Plus it's stupid!!! I watched this at a sleepover and it did NOT keep my attention at all. If Jacob and the other wolfs had eaten Bella, Edward and a bunch of other people it would be worth watching. The actors are idiotic and Rob P. is the ugliest man in the world, he's uglier than Justin Bieber!!!! This movies so stupid I just forgot to give it a star rating, and the website had to remind me to, but honestly, I wish I didn't have to even give it any stars!!!
Bad movie for young girls, fine for teens who love drama.
I have not seen this movie, but after seeing the first two, if your child is under the age of 12, then your child probably has no business watching this movie (preferrably older for girls). These movies has this teenage girl moody and throwing everything in her life (including her life) away for a boy. Not the type of role model I want for my three girls. This girl doesn't care that this boy has killed people, for example. Not good. This movie has no positive role models for girls, and it glorifies girls and women giving up everything to go ga ga for a boy/man. Not to mention the scary parts of the movie. I know moms who let their 6 year olds watch this movie, and while it is their decision, I respectfully disagree. Our kids will not watch these movies until much older, if at all.
sucky story line. Basically only about a desprate, clingy girl in a abusive relationship with a vampire. A bad vampire who *Sparkles* Real vampires don't sparkle. Don't watch this or read the books
First, let me say, as an adult, I hated this movie. Long, insipid, depressing -- the dialogue is painful and the acting is worse. It was difficult for me to sit through the entire flick. Second, I would never recommend this movie to tween girls. When Bella, in a state of extreme upset, decides to hop on the motorcycle of a stranger outside of a bar (in the hopes of re-creating the perilous situation from the first movie that brought Edward to her when she was in town dress shopping), I was appalled. Who's depiction of love is this???? Oh, that's right: Mormon, Stephenie Meyers, who thinks everything is ok and fair game as long as you hold on to your virginity until marriage.
Not for anyone under the age of 15, or older than 25.
Let me just start it out with...I AM ONE OF THE HUGEST TWIFANS IN THE USA!!!!!But, when I saw New Moon, I was honestly a little dissappointed. The end was the worst, nothing like the end in the book. Believe me, i have read the books AT LEAST 10 times each. He ends off with MArry me and she gasps and then credits. very stupid ending. However, once I got the DVD, I read over the book again, It was pretty good. Definitly not the best Twilight, but it was good. Bella is VERY depressed like state for the majority of the movie. She hops onto a bike with a random biker, she jumps off of a cliff, she completley trashes her socal life. But in the end she shows courage, strength, dedication. THe obssesiveness towards Edward is very intense, but, not bad. All in all, dont let kids under 8 see it, it is still a little violent. Happy Twilighting!
This movie was obviously one of the worst movies I have ever laid eyes on. I watched it with my 2 older cousins because I had nothing else to do and I didn't want to sit around the house. I really should've thought twice about that because the effects were so crappy, I actually said in the middle of the movie,"That's red paint!". The actors weren't very good either considering that when Bella hit the rock at the beginning of the movie when she was driving the motorcycle, all she said was "Ow". She didn't show any emotion and that just shut me down and ticked me off. Watch this movie at your own risk, because I think you'll find yourself wasting 119 minutes of your life watching this piece of crap! This is just my first review!
