    Not an issue.

    The site focuses on being respectful, with rules for chatting that include, "If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Movie trailers feature some kissing, sexual tension, and shirtless guys.

    The moderated chat room includes guidelines for keeping language at a PG-13 level. Chatters use the word "suck" frequently. Content supplied by the site is perfectly tame.
  • Consumerism:

    There are ads throughout the site, mainly Twilight and movie-themed. The home page for instance features ads for car insurance, shoes, Amazon and of course, New Moon merchandise.

    Not an issue.

    Visitors can chat as "guests" or become members of Chat Roll, the web service that provides chatting capabilities for the New Moon site. Moderators are users selected by the site's administration who have proven themselves especially helpful. 
  • Parental controls:

    There are no parental controls on the site, but only the chat room involves online interaction.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About New Moon: The Movie

Parents need to know that if you're OK with your kids reading the Twilight book series or watching the related movies, then this site is perfectly acceptable, too. There are numerous ads floating around this site, so be careful of teens being tempted by Twilight merchandise. Although the main page of this site focuses on New Moon gossip and updates, things stay positive and aren't too tabloid.

    I rate this title on for age 3 and give it 5.0

    Great movie for all ages!!!!

    ………….Just wanted to add that I think this movie is a great way to introduce things like werewolves and vampires to young kids because they show them in a non threatening way. They’ll know after watching that vampires and werewolves are cool, and absolutely nothing to be scared of.

    This is a fabulous movie. Kids and young adults will love it. It’s not too violent, it’s not to sexual. It was a nice, funny, love story. I would allow both my kids (aged 3 and 7 to watch this movie). It was fantastic. Even you mom’s will fall in love with the characters! Enjoy.

    Very Good, Don't Rate Badly

    Some scenes may be violent, but not that bad. Don't say it sucks, it's not out yet :-) But twilight is just one of those things were you like it or not. I think it's fine. Can't wait to see :)
