THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON DVD Reviews – Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner



Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart in The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner star in the 2-disc DVD release and one-disc Blu-Ray of The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Despite its 2 discs, the "general release" of Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD offers a mere three special features: a commentary track featuring director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert, four music videos, and an hour-long documentary/infomercial focusing on the film’s stars, director, and visual effects.

At some stores like Target, Borders, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, and Walmart, you’ll be able to find a couple of deleted scenes or perhaps a Twilight Saga: Eclipse preview on the Blu-Ray edition. It all depends on where you buy the disc.

But those looking for a commentary featuring Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner discussing Edward and Bella and Jacob, and more on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be out of luck. They’ll probably have to wait for a "The Twilight Saga: New Moon Special Edition" to come out in a few months.

And don’t forget that The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still playing at 145 screens in North America after being out for 124 days.

Below are a snippets from a few reviews of the New Moon DVD:

"We’ve seen: One at Wal-mart with about an hour of extra stuff and a clip from Eclipse. At Target you get two discs that include some outtakes that aren’t in this edition and some kind of film cell. At Barnes and Noble, there is an edition that is packaged with an Indian "dreamcatcher" and at Borders you can get more bonus features and a medallion thingie. Best Buy has a fancy edition in a steel case." Lynn Barker at Teen Hollywood.

"Most Twihards will already be watching this release by now, which is a testament to Twilight’s popularity and appeal. It is difficult to review this film as a critic, as it’s really not that great of a movie. But it is completely faithful to the book, and the books are definitely not the best written books in the world. New Moon makes no apologies that it is for the fans. If you’re not already a fan, stay away." Jenny Rushing at Inside Pulse.

"In Ed’s absence moping Bella hooks up with Jake (Taylor Lautner), who happens to be a werewolf and seems incapable of keeping his shirt on; not that any, you know, SEX happens here. No[,] this adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s bestseller is like an episode of Dawson’s Creek, only more chaste and with any hint of humour sucked out. A creepy opening sequence, but a dire sequel." Ben Walsh in The Independent.
