The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: 11/20/2009
Running Time: 2 hours, 1 minute

Breaking up is hard to do for the average teenager—but if you’re Bella Swan and your boyfriend is a vegetarian vampire, it’s also weird and dangerous. In New Moon, the second film in the Twilight series, Bella’s boyfriend, Edward, decides to end their relationship because it is life-threatening for Bella. With Edward gone, Bella sinks into a deep, self-destructive depression. The only one who seems to be able to cheer her up is her close friend, Jacob. Jacob is “sort of beautiful” to Bella, and she finds herself becoming attracted to him; but Jacob turns out to be more than just a pretty face—he’s also a werewolf. Caught in the middle between the enemy factions of vampires and werewolves, as well as between her feelings for Edward and her growing attraction to Jacob, Bella becomes more and more entangled in this creepy world. 

What I liked about this movie: 

This movie is hilarious—not because it’s a comedy, but because the teenage angst is so ridiculously dramatic and serious, I couldn’t help but laugh. 

This movie was a reminder that there are supernatural forces at war in this world: demons that want to harm us and lure us away from God (1 Peter 5:8), and angels whose mission is to protect us and help us on our way to heaven (Hebrews 1:14). 

I appreciate the way the characters in the movie protect the ones they love. Edward sacrifices his own feelings to protect Bella, Jacob fights off a “bad” vampire who wants to harm Bella, and Bella’s father tenderly tries to help her get through her pain over losing Edward. Denying yourself in the attempt to save or help someone else is a significant theme in the movie. 

When Bella stands before the Voltari (vampire “royalty”) to try to save Edward, we see a display of supernatural “abilities.” One vampire can read thoughts, another can cause pain to someone else with her mind, and another can see the future. God actually gives us gifts and abilities as well, but the reason He gives us spiritual gifts is to benefit the church. Check out the kinds of spiritual gifts that God gives in 1 Corinthians 12. 

What concerned me about this movie, besides the obvious fact that it was about vampires and werewolves:

Each of the creatures, vampires and werewolves alike, has animal qualities, such as the instinct to kill and devour. When we were created, God didn’t make us to be animals; He gave us dominion over animals, which means we are to rule over them and take care of them, not be like them (Genesis 1:26). I thought it was misleading how these creatures in the movie are made to be so much more intelligent and attractive than humans, when that is opposite of what God created us to be. 

In the movie, Bella becomes self-destructive as a result of her sadness over losing Edward, which is not a healthy way to handle sadness or rejection. Being rejected hurts, and it just takes time to heal. Instead of being self-destructive to deal with pain, do things that will make you feel good about yourself. Exercise is great, because it jumpstarts your body’s natural pain-soothing processes, it helps you sleep better, and it helps your body to look and feel healthy. Don’t do things that will hurt you, hurt people around you, or make you feel worse in the long run. 

Jacob doesn’t wear a shirt through much of this movie, which probably has a lot do to with his new muscle-bound body. It’s important to understand that sexual attraction is normal, healthy, and God-given! It is perfectly normal to notice and be attracted to the opposite sex. However, God has some rules about attraction and sex that are to protect us and help us enjoy the best possible relationship with a husband or a wife in the future. Movies that show images like Jacob with his unclothed six-pack can distract us from God’s plan. 

According to the movie, vampires are doomed and lost no matter what they do, even if wasn’t their choice to be vampires—which poses an interesting picture of God that is contrary to what the Bible says. Second Peter 3:9 says, “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 

While I’m not making recommendations for whether or not you should see this movie (that’s for you and your parents to decide!), here are some “thinking” questions:  

1. Think about the contrasts you can draw between vampires who desire human blood to live and a God who saved your life with His blood. Are there other symbolic comparisons you can draw from those two pictures? (Luke 22:19, 20; Ephesians 1:7; Deuteronomy 12:23; Exodus 30:10.)

2. Bella wants Edward to turn her into a vampire, but Edward won’t do it because that would cause her to be “damned” (lost) like he is. Bella doesn’t care and would rather lose her soul than lose Edward. Jesus says in Matthew 10:37 that if you love someone more than Him, you’re not worthy of Him. Have you ever loved someone so much you would rather not go to heaven than be without them? If God wants your relationship with Him to be even deeper than your relationship with the people you love the most, what do you think that relationship with God would look like? What would it feel like? 

3. In this movie, the guys are handsome and (much of the time) shirtless—a pretty obvious ploy to make girls’ hearts beat faster! We know that sexual attraction is healthy and God-given, but Jesus says in Matthew 5:28 that if you even look at someone lustfully, you’ve committed adultery. What is the difference between God-given attraction and sinful lust?

@ms.chatter box.WHOA SLOOW DOWN.there r quit a few flaws with ur comment.1 GODs perfect wich means whaching the journy of christ from r view would be rubbish.2 this world..well its a screwed up place so your going to incounter this REGARDLESS(inless you start a inpound)and have you ever considerd you can have BOTH feet in gods kingdom while STANDING in the world?and your thoughts on demonds.well let's put it this way,they(demonic/domonds)could(if u were not rooted in christ)get u through a cerial box or belive it or not a pair of shoes.

Okay, I can see where everyone is coming from, I've read the books and seen the movies, and they're really nothing to go crazy about. I realize that people think werewolves and vampires are of the devil but they're not even real. They are designed soley for entertainment purposes. Team Jacob and Team Edward crazed fans are pretty retarded, they only like them because they think that those guys are hot. ::) The Twilight Saga is pretty fake and stupid overall, but still, let people have their own opinions about it!

Nickname: AP
I agree with Miss Chatterbox! If God was to sit next to you and watch the movie with you, how would you feel?

Nickname: oscar
Okay time for a little story long ago, in middle evil times, there was a guy named Vlad the impaler and he was son of a man name dracul (that means dragon). Vlad was notorious king that kill his enemy in nasty ways and soon someone wrote a book about him dracula (meaning son of the dragon). Of course, as we know in middle times religion was and dragon represents the devil. So long story short people associate dracula/vampires with demons/witchcraft just because of the name when in reality the story was just meant to be a scary tale. So what have we learn today educate yourself instead of being ignorant and saying vampire=devil works.

Nickname: JB
Cool Dude we can only but pray for you that God will open your eyes. The devil is a liar and there is a very fine line between truth and his lies and if you can't see for yourself how demonic these movies are and know how God warns us against these movies then all we can do is pray that God will open your eyes so that you can see how you are compromising. God stands for the truth and have you ever read in your Bible that there are vampires and werewolves in heaven????? Think about what you are planting in your mind!!!!!!!!

Nickname: Miss Chatterbox
You guys need to remember that your mind is like a farmers field and you need to ask yourself this question: Would God sit and watch this movie with you? And you will find your answer will be NO! God doesn't want us to sow rubbish into our minds because what you plant in your mind is what is going to grow. This movie doesn't have anything that can help you grow spiritually. We are living in the last days and people tend to compromise so easily and go against what God warns us specifically to stay away from. You can't fiddle with demonic forces (yes even by watching the movie) and think it won't have an affect on you. The devil knows how gullible young people are and targets them through music and movies. You also can't have one foot in the world and one foot in God's kingdom. You have to choose which one it is going to be. When we all stand before God one day we will have to give an account of what we have done so why not just choose the right thing now.

The Twilight sereis 1. stupid and 2.bad way to develish

Nickname: reality check
Well,my quitstion is if melini bokman though it was so bad whyed she go c it..

Nickname: cool dude
what is wrong with you people, just because it has bad things in it doesn't mean its a bad movie, and why do you people think that watching this stuff is bad, personally i've never seen these movies but i don't think that they're bad. If you people who don't like this stuff stop commenting on this page

Nickname: N/A
I'm not allowed to watch the Twilight series, but what I have seen, heard, and saw the commercials, it looks way to devlish for anyone to watch! I mean there is werewolves and vampires...doesn't that sound just a little too obvious that it would have everything to do with the devil??? I mean it's just as good as saying you can go watch more devilish things and could still watch it because it is funny!!! The second thing is that it has a lot of lust...like I said, I haven't seen the movie but I have heard from people that watched the movie! Third: I think that it is really wrong that people become obsessed with it. That's what the devil wants you to be!!! It could first start out with this, then it could lead to ouiji boards and fortune tellers...it all starts here... Finally, I just think that it's plain out devilish wether it is halirious, or people protecting people, or things like that! I mean doesn't "The Twilight Saga" sound just a little weird?

Nickname: zesty superman
Maybe bella99 if u whatched it ud love it 2..

Nickname: uhhhhhhh
its basically like saying have you ever watched things thtt are way worsee??

Nickname: Rose
I have a couple of reasons why this/that movie is pretty stupid. 1.It has adultury in it. 2.It has lust in it. 3.Vampires are not real and of the devil. 4.Werewolves.look at number 3

Nickname: friendofman
( can you please do a review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse; thanks!) ok, i personally luv the twilight saga and the books. ( can't wait for Eclipse!, luv Breaking dawn my fav book; Team Jacob!) i aso agree with uhhhhhhh

Nickname: bella99
I have never watched this movie. I think it is horrible that kids are so OBSESSED with this. A lot of kids in my class want to was this or have watched this. There is this girl in my class who is scared of everything and is obsessed with Twilight. I still disagree with JisForJesus

Nickname: ej
Who in their right mind would watch something so stupid as twilight. do you (yes you reading) want vampires, wolfs and demons jumping at you. do you DO YOU

Nickname: uhhhhhhh
I love this movie... i became obsessed with it but. it doesnt mean i beleive in it ! There are way worse movies and i dont see why people dont understand that concept! It depends how people react with the movie! EVERONE has different opinions ..no one would agree to no one . it depends how you think like for example the jacob part when he is shirtless my opinion thtt it isnt wrong if you are thinking in lust of corse well thats wrong ...its all in your mind ! I kno thtt every thing is fantasy and very fiction but isnt thtt wat imagination is all about! ITS NOT BASED ON A TRUE STORY .... YES THERE IS FLAWS BUT its all on you to on how you would react to these type of things ! i enjoy watching it but ...... its not my main priority meaning its not EVERYTHING .. i enjoy the actors they are reallly good ! its just a movie were actors are doing their job to entertain ppl

Nickname: luvingchirst
cat is right. we can enjoy it. but lets not forget who belong too.

Nickname: annie
i see what your saying. but i also see this is the result of sin. in genesis we all know the story of eve sinning, this is an after part. we cant change that. now i've never watched this movie but im human so im curious so probably i will watch it someday. now i personally love watching movies that are so ridiculus like the movie "the gost of decanterville". its so ridiculously not going to happen that its harlarious. thx for the revew though.

Nickname: crazibabe
I only watched it for Taylor Laugtner. He's my absolute favorite actor. The movie was kinda funny. specially wen bella started screaming like a demented, possessed person. The music was weird too.

Nickname: sportyguy[go titans]
Why would you watch it

Nickname: hammygirl
Its scary to me. I have a lot of friends that are really OBSESSED with it. ):

the twilight saga is not good for kids or anybody exposing them to warewolves and vampires it is unchristian

Nickname: Cat124
Im really not sure what 2 think about the movie!!! but God says not to concern yourselves with the things of this world!! so i guess this is just another thing of this world!!!

Nickname: jazzy
i dont like this movie or this saga and i never will trust me i wont EVER!!!!!

Nickname: Haley
I don't think they are bad, they are just something you need to be careful when you read and not become obbessed with them. And there is nothing wrong with shirtless guys, they do that all the time when they go swimming. Plus is wasn't like God made then to cover it up all the time, back in Bible times they didn't always wear shirts. I read the books and whated the movie and i really liked them because they were your typical love story with twists and the supernatural things i think were put in to make it more interesting and more fanasty. I think when reading it you should know they are fictionous books and they are not based on true stories they are all from the imagination....

Nickname: milfrance
..yeah its a bad movie its anti Christ... its all about devils......

Nickname: Lee
I think regardless of our personal opinions of the movie, it is true and proven that what we watch affects us whether we notice it or not and whether we believe it or not. Movies, music, television, and other media are not wrong in themselves, but when the things of hollywood are not in harmony with what jesus would want us to watch, we must decide do we want to be influenced by things of the world or things of God. This movie was obviously intended to arouse human passions that pertain to our carnal nature, but christ came to deny his carnal nature and if we are to follow him, we are to do the same.

Nickname: Jis4Jesus
i've read the books and i believe that they are good just try not to become obsessed with them. and to all of the people who are saying what's wrong with seeing a guy shirtless honestly there isn't anything wrong with it, it's how you react to it.

Nickname: Renna
I haven't seen any of the Twilight Movies but i don't really think that i would want to. Not because I'm not interested but because of the whole vampire werewolf thing. At first I didn't think that it was that bad but now I'm happy that my mom said no to letting me see it because Twilight doesn't really help me move towards God. My mom has this question that she wants me to ask before I go do anything not just movies, "Would I invite Jesus to come with me?" and I think that that question has helped alot.

Man that's gotta be cold running around without a shirt and whatnot.

it is bad

Nickname: weirwolf16
I have watched both of the movies. I enjoyed them because I found the story to be well written, unlike so many movies today. But I must ask, how can something that DOESN'T exist be evil? Wizards, warlocks, witches and the like are all real. Perhaps not as depicted, but real nonetheless. I agree with the review, this movie relies to much on romance. However, why attempt to relate reality with none? This movie was meant to entertain, not teach. I apologize for the long comment, but I hope the guide faculty will allow this to be posted.

Nickname: Jasmine
I like the Twilight Saga books, but I'm not a crazy fan. I don't scream and squeal when they got topless, or whatever. I've read all the books, sometimes re-reading my favorite parts. I think it's the kind of book that Christians should not go CRAZY about. At first it can seem innocent, for fun. I think it can be read maybe for educational use? But if you choose to go deep into the book, if you want to and actually dwell on the deep meaning, things can get bad. There are no vampires, werewolves, all that stuff. We, as Christians shouldn't believe it because it's not true, and satan can use it as a trap. Be Careful this world we live in!! JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!!!

Nickname: Just Me
Also what's wrong with a shirtless guy? If you go to the beach or pool are you gonna cover your eyes every time you see a shirtless guy?

Nickname: Just Me
I'm not gonna lie. I read the books and enjoyed them. The movies not so much. I understand that hollywood was made to lure Gods children into a trap. I really do get that. But so was TV the internet and almost everything now has a demonic(is that how you spell it) symbol, even money! So does that mean that God's children will stop using money? My point is that satan and his angels are everywhere. There's no way you can get away from it all. This world is filled with evil and it'll never stop, until the Lord comes to take his people.

i found the movie interesting, and wen taylor shirts off .. tht was a different but still it has its diadvantages.

If anything gets too mushy_ no thank you!!!!

i didn't watch this movie because of the vampires. vampires are evil even though people don't see it.they may lead you straight to hell.

Nickname: tory
yes, twilight DOES have stuff that might seem "innocent" to us, but has a sacred meaning to those involved in the occult. did you know that the holly tree is sacred to witches? and "hollywood" produces our lots of our movies! think twice!!

Nickname: tory
i am never EVER going to watch or read twilight, i HATE anything that has vampires and evil things in it. plus it's pg-13 did you know twilight sold even more than harry potter? the devil is working sooo hard now.

Nickname:
I think that with our generation obsessed with a) vampires in general b) sex c) and magic, this movie would appeal to A LOT of people! Its SO easy to become addicted to the romance of these Twilight series. Though I have personally never read them, (and don't plan on it) , I see a lot of things wrong with these movies. I will narrow it down to one answer. Php. 4:8. Look it up, if you know it already then I hope you will go with God's standards, not with feelings.

Nickname: 18here
To be honest, Twilight is fiction. Chronicles of Narnia is fiction. Lion King is fiction. Lord of the Rings is fiction. It's all fake. Vampires don't exist, werewolves don't exist. I think it's pretty cool that Guide posted a movie review AND posted both pros and cons. Just because we're SDA doesn't mean we can't watch or read fiction. It is true, by beholding we become changed, but its true to a degree. I saw "New Moon" once, and don't remember a thing about it other than what was on all the commercials. Twilight and everything else is only an issue if you make it one. If you can't handle the fiction, don't watch it.

Susie-Q said: "But the author of the books is a christian". WOW.

Nickname: nat
my mom told me the twilight saga is bad... not only because of the vampires, werewolves,etc., but also because it is a trap that satan uses to destroy us.

Nickname: Crazy For God!
i agree soo much with Hal. Satan is trying is VERY BEST to get into young peoples minds today and he would do anything and everything. He tries to make things like twilight seem like a good thing especially for young girls. But as christains we need to stay strong and hold on to Gods word as Jesus himself said that these things things would happen. :)

Nickname: Guide Editor
We've received some criticism for reviewing this movie. As Guide editor, I consider it my responsibility to, well, accept responsibility for this review. I just want to remind us all that the purpose of every review we present here is to help young people make entertainment choices that honor Jesus Christ. In this case, it is a little hard for me to see how anyone could think we're suggesting that anybody, Guide age or otherwise, would find the Twilight books or movies helpful in bringing us closer to Jesus. It is true that we are likely to continue to receive a variety of reactions to certain media reviews. But please bear in mind that in an imperfect world, we do not think that simply ignoring the power that media possesses for both good AND evil is the best course of action at this time in history. And as always, we deeply appreciate your prayers as we strive to honor Jesus in our various Guide ministries.

Nickname: Hal
PS: Your love of God can't mix with a love of the world. Think about it.

Nickname: Hal
All of my friends like Twilight and tell me "it's not bad!" and "you should see it too!" I never want to see it! It creeps me out.... Satan is so scary and dangerous. I don't want him anywhere and I think he is definately in Twilight.

awsome i read the book wrighten by a christian

Nickname: paintballmaniac
whats the deal with vampires and the supernatural these days? I mean, if you go to the book store, there is nothing to read but vampires, vampires and more vampires. Its rediculis.

Nickname: jo-jo
I think that twilight is somthing i'm curios about, but how this movie was made i don't know if i would want to watch it.

Nickname: Littler
Looking at the big picture this movie is just something Satan came up with--it's very innocent and engaging but I can see through it. Although I likekd the movies(I can't lie), I never read any of the books nor do I want to. I can see that this movie Twilight will make people curious about the "other world" like vampires,witches,wolves,etc.This movie can spark that curiousity and make teens want to see if its real and ending up messing with the occult world.I do not like this movie for the fact of what it exposes the world to without them even realizing it.As a Christian I know aobut these things and I see through the fine lines even if I've seen the movie and thought of it as good..I can't lie and I'm being very honest.

Nickname: PDSILLY
I won't come near to any of these books or movies. It's obvious that there is somthing against the Bible in more than one way. Same thing with Harry Potter and Lightning Thief.

Nickname: I andrew
I have seen the first movie (because of my sister) and do not neccesarily think that the story is bad. However the year That the books came out I was in public school and to see the books spread like wild fire it reminded me way to much of harry potter and how popular it is I think twilight may have even surppassed (in certian circles) Harry potter, the addiction and defense of the series leaves an eery warning sign. I think anything that is that addicting to so many people cannot be good.If you have an addiction to the series I erge you to stop it and if a parent is reading this I erge agianst letting your children read the books however I do not believe the movies are as addicting. P.S. I hope this was helpful to your oppinion about twilight.

Nickname: Concerned parent
As a parent with a new foster/adoptive child we have been battling worldly influences in our new daughter who is age 12. While we have been delighted with our new daughter discovering God's Word and quickly learning to love the Guide Magazine, I am appalled at this review of a very worldly and demonic movie which among other things is deemed 'hilarious'. We have been discouraging her interest in New Moon since she arrived as gently as we could, but this has NOT helped. Please pull this.

Hey, it's me again. Does anyone have any advice on what to do for/about a friend who likes Twilight? It's not like I can just stop being friends with her because she lives next door and since I'm homeschooled and far far away from any other kids my age (the closest ones in my church are like 14, and I'm 12) we have to be friends. Don't get me wrong, I really like her, but I don't think Twilight's good for her, and since she's my friend I want her to do what's right. She knows I hate it but she doesn't listen to me... got any ideas?

Nickname: jabalaba
You all make a very good point but you are letting your religion get in the way of everything. You guys need to lean to get used to things because not everything are you going to like. If you can understand the book and movies you'll know it's not really satanic. My sister is in LOVE with the book, so she has read it like four times already. She tells me about the parts that I didn't understand and now I understand them just fine. The cullens call them selves vegetarians because they only eat animals. I guess in a way you could say it's satanic but not in the ways you guys are saying it. (it's not as bad, even though all satanic is bad, it's close to being satanic.

I have never watched this movie before, but it looks so stupid and very bad. So many young people get cought in things like this movie, it makes them feel like thay have the power to do antthing they want, it gets them involved in witchcraft.Saten has so many temtations for us young people. I hope you decide not to watch this movie, but if you do think about what I said ok. lexie

twilight is just fine there nothing wrong it its just find i read the whole series

Nickname: Ili
I've actually read some of the books and watched the movies. On one side it's bad because it is pretty much Satanic but then again if you don't believe in it and understand your limits on your beliefs it can be funny and a good way to make time pass. As long as you know your limits as a Christian and being obsessed with the book and having the need to read it is definitively a limit. Just as long as your careful to not let it overtake you. Just my opinion.

Nickname: kittylover
I think that Twilight is in fact demonic, but of course it's hard to get over it. It's addicting and if you like it, I think you should stop. I'm struggling myself with getting over it, but were humans not perfect. Twilight is humorous because it's not was god has in mind. My sabbath school teacher always says if you wanna make god laugh, tell him your plans :)

Nickname: London Chik
Wow, reading some of these comments made me think very deeply about this sinful world. I for one refused to even read the book much less watch the movie, and thinking it's about vampires- i wouldnt have anyway! These movies are so corrupted with all sorts of malicous evil ways and i hate to think what is really behind these directors. Of course i wouldnt watch this film and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone !

I was going to watch the movie, but my mom said no. I was devatated, but I eventually agreed. I asked her why she won't let me watch it. She told me everything it said right here. I'm so glad I didn't watch the movie.

i haven't watched any of the twilight movies, well i've seen the begining of the first but didn't continue. simply because, what we watch actually affects us, its stored in our brains and what we put in, will come out. like the anger and all the negatives we watch, affect us and if we keep watching that we have a tendancy to become more negative, and personally i don't want that. the only reason i found that out was from a video my mom showed me, 'the influence of media on the mind' and some stuff on the 3ABN network.

i don't really think twilight and new moon is good, because it's about vampires and werewolves, and it doesn't glorify God and draw us closer to him.

Nickname: j.j.
Never will ever watch this movie of the devil.

Nickname: triple3
Twilight and new moon are ssoo stupid!! One of my friends are so absessed, they have everything twilight and new moon. She thinks it is so cool, when really it is just worthless junk.It damages our mind and when we watch it. It makes us think what they do on those movies are things we have to do.My friend eis so absessed with it she stayed up all night on a school night to watch new moon at the theater! She is so crazy over twilight and new moon.

i don't understand what is wrong with seeing a six pack and stuff? so is it not satanic to have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship at a "young" age?(like middle school)

hi about this whole "Twilight/New Moon series" thing even if I wanted 2 (although the very thought of seeing it disgusts me) my dads (really step-dad although i claim him not my real dad anyway) hes an Adventist pastor up in Frankfort, KY so obviously he would not let me see it or read it anyway( every time a preview for it comes on he either changes the channel or mutes it. So u c my parents and i (I can not speak 4 my 3 brothers) actually hate it ( I know thats a strong word but u get the point) the movies/books neither do my friends

I am lucky enough to have a friend or two that support me in my decisions about twilight. And you Twilight lovers won't like this, but drinking blood IS occult. You cannot escape that. It is also real, believe what you want. The Israelites were commanded NOT to drink blood for a very good reason, and I think that we should not be seen watching occult things as Christians.

Nickname: Nana
I think Twilight and New Moon and the rest of the series are so, very awesome! As for New Moon, I really liked the fact that Edward was willing to give up his immorality because he thought Bella was dead. It was heart-touching.

This movie is satanic!!

Nickname: n/a
I think that Twilight is really satanic. i know that to some people, it is cool ,exiting and all that, but satan is just trying to get people to join his side by making bad movies so people will think that satanic stuff are cool and think that satan is a joke. but he is not, and we need to stay away from those temtations or else we will be on satans side.

I am not going to whatch this movie at all

this is a good way of looking at the movie, putting it in to christian perspectives. i agree with all you said but i haven't seen any of the twilight movies i wanted to but now im not so sure i want to. this is a good way of witnessing to many people. Good job

Well the Fact is nearly ever Tv show n movie is GOING TO GO VAMPIRE OR WEREWOLF BECAUSE PEOPLE GO CRAZY OVER IT.......so they get more Viewers watching there Demonic Programs.....

I was going down through the page, reading all the comments and I came to the very bottom and read the comment from Laia. When I was reading it, I felt like I was reading my own story! I read all the books and I loved them. I made so many excuses about how they weren't bad, but deep inside I knew they were. I tried to stop it but I just couldn't. I kept thinking about Twilight until finally, I just turned to God and I FINALLY quit. I felt like I was freed from this huge burden. Bottom line, God is GREAT and stuff like Twilight just isn't worth the time.

Nickname: ganstagurl
u really should not watch new moon it is just really satinic. it will mess your life up. i no this is really off topic but please please dont watch the movie legion. it is just twisting scripture to make it seem that satan will save the world from angels. that is just messed up. :) thank u for reading this and i hope this influences your choice.

Nickname: Abby
I have never watched this movie before, and I don't plan to! But I go to a public school and this is what everyone is talking about. It's sad how Satan try's to entice us to do things that are wrong. And sometimes we fall for them! But we must always remeber that God can help us to resist temptation! Satan might be out there, yes, but we have the power of God on our side. How can Satan defeat then?

this movie was only inspired by the devil.It goes against everything god told us.Vampires suck blood so by this it goes aganist one of the ten commandments thou shalt not kill.this movie is only about the devil.

Jacob was shirtless because when he morphs into a werewolf, his clothes rip off, and he can't afford to keep ruining his shirts. It's in the book. Its not to make girls "oooo" and "ahhhh", and it's not about lust or whatever. I don't like Twilight, but I think that is an unfair premise for someone to make. That's just the way it is. I'm just saying.

signs of the times article "I’m the world’s most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in: my voice, my face, even my smell. . . . I’m designed to kill. . . . I wanted to kill you.

New Moon, the second film of a four-part series, hit theaters on November 20 this year. Next is Eclipse, slated for June 2010, to be followed by Breaking Dawn. While many Christian parents have never even heard of The Twilight Saga, this blockbuster sequence of vampire romances has become bigger than Harry Potter. It all started one dark night—June 1, 2003, to be exact—when a virtually unknown Arizona stay-at-home mom named Stephenie Meyer had a strange dream. On her official W

I see how some of my CHRISTIAN friends like this movie and it makes me sad. Just looking at some pictures of this movie tells you that you don't need to see the movie to know that it's bad news. And there's plenty other funny movies out there than just werewolf and vampirey ones.

it is a very nice movie even my uncle and aunt says so ! gonna watch it! RoCkS!!!!!!

While i dont like twilight i wouldnt go as far as to say its satanic. Werewolves and vampire were just made up fictional characters that were used to tell stories for entertainment.

Nickname: StayKind
Well, I didn't like Twilight for a few reasons. One, being that it was WAY too dramatic, boring (mainly Bella and Edward...), and pretty...ridiculous. I think the hype about it isn't worth it. This is just my opinion of course!

Nickname: Summer
the movie was nice but sent the wrong message to teenagers about people living forever which is not true

Nickname: summer
the movie was good but was wrong in so many levels.it went against everything in the bible and may make teenagers believe that vampires realy exist and that some people live forever which is not true

Nickname: n/a
Even though it is sending out the wrong mesage it also tell us that you have to walk an extra mile to do wat is right

Nickname: Susie-Q
I don't think, that the movies are satanic at all.. they are just for entertainment, and what happened to enjoying the movie? I don't think, that i would have thought more or less about it, if it was just human beings, and I don't see the problem with shirtless guys. I mean. would you cover your eyes, if you went to a beach, and you saw, that there were shirtless guys everywhere? what is wrong with having a six-pack? I Still understand, that you guys don't wanna waatch it, because it's surrealistic. But the author of the books is a christian, and I don't think, that it was satans power, who drove her to write the books.

Nickname: Gizzie
I do NOT like twilight, whoever has the book should burn it and the movie... throw it out in a garbage FAR AWAY from your own!

Nickname: Deni
I have watched both twilight and new moon, and was planning to watch the next two movies. But I have decided not to. These are devilish, and even if you haven't experienced anything that has to do with the supernatural world, do not get curious and watch them! Don't get sucked into the trap. If you are trapped already, get out now!

Nickname: isabella9
I read new moon and it is obviously satanic. The book itself is very depressing and I will not see any of the films because of the vampire/werewolf fact. My schoolmates are all over jacob. i told them what I thought and they laughed.

Nickname: bri
totally wanna see this

Nickname: Laia
You know what? You are absolutely right. When I started reading the book, I couldn't stop. I was all day thinking about twilight! One day, I realized that I wasn't doing the right thing, so I decided to stop. And I did! But guess what? I wanted to go back! And I tried, and tried to forget... but I couldn't! You see, THAT'S what all of that stuff does to you. But trust me! You can get away from it! It will be hard but with a little help from God, you will see that you don't need all that! Be happy for who you are! Jesus really DOES love you. :]

seriously what's wrong with a six-pack.

Nickname: Katison101
I know New Moon isn't a good movie to watch because of all the devilish-vampire stuff in it but...I want to see it anyway...I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking a guy like (Taylor Lautner) is "good-looking"...

I would never even go see the movie hilarios or not. I think its utterly ridiculous and disgusting! But the thing that bugs me most is that more people go watch that then they that come to bible studies! I t would be great if that was vice versa

ok im sorry but i think twilight is stupid!

this movie is wrong . if u think "they're good vampires" no they're not they're still wrong still people dont get the point God created us like we are stop and look at reality. Leslie age 10

i think it is bad for kids my age 12 and up because then they want to see it more and more times than one and then ones you get it in your head it never comes out

Nickname: Skeptic Dude
I'm normally a skeptic when it comes to bad movies but I have a pesonal hate for Twilight due to it's overall content. It's messed up and it's getting control of girls. i even had a classmate who's a huge fan of Twilight. And Cava, i have noticed that more shows have gone more supernatural so i would personally avoid them.

I do like the love story but i think the whole vampire effect is bad because of edward's power over people in the world and that alice can see the futre with images in her mind.

Well i khow the movie is all about vampires and dem kind of stuff but i think u should not watch them. the bible even tells us to stay away from these things.

I think The Twilight Saga, is actually encouraging Satan to be worshipped throw Wicca etc...

I read all the books, and watched the first movie. I understand the christain point of veiw on this, but come on. IT'S FICTION. We all know that werewolfs and vampires don't exist. and what ever happened to just enjoy the movie?

Nickname: Circle
I don't particularly want to watch either Twilight or New Moon--a little too "out of this world" for me. At least in my opinion (sorry, all those Twilight fans out there) this is a movie about a girl falling in love with a vampire who is trying to stop his bloodlust and not kill her. When you put it that way, am I the only one who thinks it sounds dumb? Melanie, thank you so much for putting this up--it really means a lot to me, because I've got some friends who like or are interested in Twilight. I agree with everything in the review!!

Nickname: hanhan
I think it is not good to see twilight, even though your friends might like it. It has things that God didn't create and God told us not to deal with satanic stuff.

Twilight is clearly a demonic and Satanic series. Even the vey word 'Twighlight' is used in the satanic underworld for their rites and festivals. Some witches(yes, they are VERY real) wait on the new moon to perform their demonic rites.

This week we have been having a week of prayer with our pastor.The topic was on satan. How he is out too destroy the world. Today we learned about Twilight. It is a satan powered movie.I've never seen any Twilight movies and I hope I never do. But magic is real. Not like you think it is, but the magic it powered by demons. For example, a cup floating across a room is a demon giving the power to the person, or simply walking across the room with the cup in his hand. But you can't see that, because he is invisible. Who hates satan?! Me! I hope to be in heaven with Jesus and satan is gone.Forever!

I really dont like the Twilight movies in general just because theyre not my type of movie. This was a very good review of this movie from a Christian perspective.

Nickname: John Mayer
I can honestly say there is nothing wrong with these books. Not very good books? Yes. Satanic? no

Nickname: Adri1205
I"ve read all the books and they're not bad if u know the truth and what isn't the truth. But if u belive in it than thats a different story. there r some limits and believing in it is a limit. But thats my opinion.

Nickname: yogurtlover
I can't believe why anyone would even want to watch that! But thats all my best friends can even talk about! Since last year when Twilight came out all anyone can talk about! It's almost as if the Devil inspired the author of the books and producers of the movies to lead the world to chaos!!!!! I HATE THE TWILIGHT SERIS!!!!!!!! ( sorry if I spelled seris wrong).

whoa...hey it doesn't sound like too bad of a movie..anyway...i knew a lot of the things you said...but now i'm like "man most of the movie he's not goin' have his shirt on...ew!" . Now the one thing we all (even you) must remember that the movie isn't a Christian movie so it'll have things un-Christian, I don't really care for vampires, i kinda do like werewolves 'cuz werewolves are most the time Native Americans and also i like wolves. I do hope to see the movie cuz it sounds pretty cool..but a friend told me the end so it doesn't matter anymore-just kidding!

i would never watch this movie!!!!! it's definately not something i want to get involved with.

To tell you the truth Iv'e read the whole series. At first I thought their could be nothing wrong to them because they were vegetarian vamps, but after reading the article The Signs Of Times put out. Now I'm not so sure

this movie isnt christian so just cuz the vampires are doomed has nothing to do with christianity

I am definetly not going to watch this movie because it is Satanic and not christian like. It is always about vampires. Watch out for these bad tv shows now days.
