Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Chippendale werewolves.

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is the further adventures of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), the Romeo and Juliet of the semiliterate vampire romance novels by Stephenie Meyer. The film features a group of buff, bare-chested young American Indian men running around in the woods of Forks, Wash., transforming in a flash of shredded denim into big, obviously computer-generated wolves.

I have a standing rule - If the critic hates the movie - you KNOW it is a good one and one I will go see.

My wife and I loved the movie and think it did justice to the book. What does this HACK know? He probably was a reject in High School drama class and now gets his revenge being the "Critic".

Your review seems "computer generated". I've not seen "New Moon", but the trailer is enticing. There's something conspicuous about your review that exudes the essence of cluelessness that many movie critics can't disguise. I'm going to see it with my daughter, who wouldn't miss it even if it guaranteed she'd get swine flu. I have a feeling that we're going to enjoy it.

Wow-This guy reminds me of my old high school history teacher-your boring. The movie was great
and had everyone in the audience appealed. There were 2,000 people at the Daytona Beach theater I was at. Many of them were older than 40. To bad you won't really find anyone who agrees with you except middle-aged men who happen to be critics.

OK, 'Hugo' so presumably the little fans will have earned the $ to go see it then?

A story about a wealthy vampire in love with a teenage girl, he wants to suck her blood, and she loves it. It's a great story to teach teenagers, yah sure.

My daughter (early 20's) was one of the many "midnighters" with tickets. She was sooo excited all week...her take on the movie...."it was good, but I liked the book better". Sometimes your imagination is better...books are always better than the movie! But she will be in line for the next movie, I am sure.

I think I'd rather watch Dark Shadows reruns or Interview with the Vampire again.

It's like Harry Potter. Writing a review of this movie is an exercise in futility.
