Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to and review The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), the second installment in the global phenomenon based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novels. Directed by Chris Weitz, the film deepens the supernatural romance as heartbreak, werewolves, and the powerful Volturi enter the story. Kristen Stewart (Spencer, Snow White and the Huntsman) returns as Bella Swan, whose world shatters when Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson – The Batman, Tenet) leaves Forks to protect her. Bella’s descent into grief leads to reckless adrenaline-seeking moments — including the iconic motorcycle cliff-diving sequence — where she begins seeing visions of Edward. Meanwhile, Taylor Lautner (Abduction, The Ridiculous 6) steps into the spotlight as Jacob Black, whose transformation into a werewolf and growing feelings for Bella fuel the saga’s famous love triangle. The film also introduces the imposing Volturi: Michael Sheen (Underworld, The Queen) as Aro, Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds, The Alienist) as Jane, and Cameron Bright as Alec. From Bella’s birthday gone wrong to the dramatic rescue in Volterra’s sunlit plaza and the Volturi confrontation, New Moon expands the Twilight universe with darker stakes and deeper mythology. The emotional intensity, Team Edward vs. Team Jacob divide, and sweeping romantic angst made it one of the defining YA fantasy films of its era. We break down the performances, the evolution of the love triangle, the werewolf lore, and whether New Moon still hits as hard as it did during peak Twilight mania. #Twilight #NewMoon #TwilightSaga #TeamEdward #TeamJacob #KristenStewart #RobertPattinson #TaylorLautner #YAFantasy #edwardcullen #vampire The Housemaid (2026) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/gLUnDptXRIU Twilight (2008) John & Roxy's Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/3JbQk1-O9rQ Interview with the Vampire 1x4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/iVbvBBgPpTs Heated Rivalry Episode 1 & 2 Reaction: https://youtu.be/I-sdN9Udozk Bridgerton 1x5 Reaction: https://youtu.be/6x9tj08NGsc 0:00 Checking in! 1:02 Twilight New Moon Reaction 34:08 HUEL 35:50 Twilight New Moon Movie Reaction 1:16:08 Twilight New Moon Review Follow *Tara Erickson:* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow *Greg Alba:* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

Jacob had to cut his hair because when he shifts into wolf form, his long hair makes the wolf too shaggy.

one of my fav theories (or facts?) is that bella is literally going through withdrawls in this movie - vampires are designed to lure humans in, their smell and looks and everything is enticing. so imagine hanging around that and getting pieces of it and then going cold turkey. also the months passing outside the window is one of my favorite scenes in cinema, it captures the feelings perfectly and is an amazing portrayal of the book.
