What parents need to know

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.

  • 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."
  • Not applicable.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The chat room is moderated and chatters are cautioned not to reveal any personal information in the room that is open to all visitors. There are no parental controls on the site, but only the chat room involves online interaction.

Is it any good?

 

Some Twilight fan sites can be too basic, while others can seem intimidatingly obsessed. But not the Web site NEW MOON THE MOVIE. This is a light and fun site that combines gossip with good-natured debate. New Moon is a clean site that doesn't burst at the seams with content. Instead it's got nice big graphics and super current updates in anticipation of the film's release (including a countdown clock!). Where else are you going to hear about possible Twilight-themed kids' meal toys or the latest Robert Pattinson sighting? Readers hungry for conversation will enjoy the simple and well-mannered chat space that lets readers gush in mass  their allegiance to Team Edward or Team Jacob -- or both.

Online interaction: 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.

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 :)

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.
