	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer Variety	"While this second chapter (...) is as good as 'Twilight' and arguably a shade better, it's indisputably darker in its depiction of the throes and woes of adolescent love (...) Tech credits and visual effects have improved"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Constrained by the plot of the novel, the film keeps the two lovers apart for quite a spell, robbing the project of the crazy-in-love energy that made 'Twilight,' the first entry in the series, such a guilty pleasure."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Though an improvement over Twilight, this sequel drags and sputters, even in scenes meant to be infused with passion. (...) The scenes with Bella and Jacob are actually playful, a welcome relief from the lugubrious "love hurts" connection Bella shares with Edward (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
