Buddy TV has an article with their analysis of the New Moon Trailer.

Here are the points they think were hit and miss in the trailer:

Hit: The first 14 seconds are so beautiful. There are no words. The Edward and Bella kiss is great. We all know what she really wanted for her birthday.

Miss: Kristen Stewart is a bit too coy for Bella when asking for this kiss. Not by a lot, but after watching the trailer over and over again I just know I find something off about it.

Hit: The love confession is pure gushy romance perfection.

Hit: Alice’s over-enthusiasm. I really wanted Alice and Bella to develop a deep friendship in New Moon and this looks promising.

Miss: Am I forgetting something? Why does Edward look so upset at the beginning of Bella’s party? Did they just have the “I want to be a vampire like you” fight before this? He looks like he’s going to kill Esme as she hugs Bella.

Hit: Rosalie, however, is supposed to be scowling at the party and Nikki Reed appears to be nailing it.

Miss: After Jasper tries to attack Bella, Rosalie looks concerned. I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t happen.

Hit: The goodbye scene. It’s going to break my heart. I know it. Also, we don’t get any Kristen Stewart freak outs like at the end of Twilight.

Miss: Why, oh why couldn’t they just give me Edward’s Meadow? This scene is taking place in a meadow but it’s definitely not Edward’s. Edward’s meadow would be much prettier.

Hit: Taylor Lautner’s abs. I think a lot of women are reminding themselves that he’s only 17 years old.

Slight Miss: So at first I was really bothered because in the book, the wolf pack saves Bella from Laurent and she doesn’t know it’s Jacob. It adds to the suspense and the eventual reveal. In the trailer, it looks like Jacob phases in front of Bella to save her from Laurent but it’s very clearly two scenes. She’s wearing a brown jacket in one and a blue jacket with her backpack on in the other. I don’t know how the werewolf reveal will work out, but I hope it’s good.

Concern: The CGI is very “Chronicles of Narnia” and I actually didn’t like the CGI for those movies so I’m a bit concerned about the werewolves.”

    they nailed exactly what i was thinking the werewolves look too fake…but i still love it

  2. mykaela says:

    oh and i love how alice has her camera and is taking tons of pics during the bday scene!

  3. kenni t says:

    cool

  4. kenni t says:

    oh yeah, i caught the backpack thingy

  5. denise says:

    i think they did good on the first trailer & the wolf it doesn’t look computerized that much but my friend & i think the wolf needs to be a little bigger like a bear or something…

    overall I L♥VE IT ;]

  6. TIFFANY says:

    i think he will grow as it goes along, lets not forget he is the second to the smallest wolf in the pack at first, then he grows throughtout the series, till, in the end he is bigger than sam(a horse size)

  7. Krissssstin. says:

    I really liked the wolf and all the points they pointed out is greatt!!! i agree with all of them but I just don’t really understand this one?
    VV
    Miss: Kristen Stewart is a bit too coy for Bella when asking for this kiss. Not by a lot, but after watching the trailer over and over again I just know I find something off about it

    what do they mean “find something off about it” ?? Do they think it wasn’t ‘BELLA’ saying “kiss me” it could have been KRISTEN saying deep down??….

    someone explain pleasse lol

  8. constanza says:

    y not do it at edward’s meadow??? srsly?? do u realize how painful it is to bella that they are breakin up, n do u evn realize how much more painful it will b if they do it in his meadow??? n also, the part when bella comes back 2 edward’s meadow hopin to hear his voice n finds laurent, can u imagine how painful might it b 2 go back there?? where they broke up, wen he left, where the last memory she has of him is..
    besides, edward wouldnt leave bella in their meadow, she doenst kno they way back.. they r supposed to do it on a trail about 50 yards away from her haus..

  9. constanza says:

    @ Krissssstin
    wat they meant is that the way she said it, the expression on her face was like “gimme some” n thats not very bella…
    n mayb it was kristen who was the one that rly wanted that kiss.. haha!!! she so likes him!!!!

  10. Krissssstin. says:

    ^^^ ooh okay. Thanks. I think she could have been possibly trying to get Bella to be more aggressive with him since in New Moon she has grown a little bit and so has their relationship.. :)
    but it would be aweomse if it was Kristen too !
    Thanks Constanza

  11. Lauren says:

    Concern: The CGI is very “Chronicles of Narnia” and I actually didn’t like the CGI for those movies so I’m a bit concerned about the werewolves.”

    Hmm, that is slightly true, but not so much. I’m sure it’ll be fine.Anybody else think that?

  12. Dawnelle says:

    As far as the phasing in front of Bella is two scenes put together. Taylor said in his interview after seeing the clip that the scene with him phasing is the scene in which him and Jared get into a fight. I absolutely love the trailer and November can not get here fast enough!

  13. Beckyree84 says:

    Miss: Why, oh why couldn’t they just give me Edward’s Meadow? This scene is taking place in a meadow but it’s definitely not Edward’s. Edward’s meadow would be much prettier.

    I think that what they did with the meadow it good it is dead without Edward

  14. Kristen Ricque says:

    Constanza
    I think what she meant by the meadow scene was when Laurent was getting ready to attack Bella, not the break-up scene :)

    And Lauren, I totally agree. I think they’ll do well with the wolves :D

  15. Krissssstin. says:

    When Laurent and Bella are talking that IS Edwards Meadow.. But what I think they did was they made the meadow look DEAD b/c without Edward EVERYTHING AROUND BELLA IS “DEAD” so they did that for a reason which I think is a good reason– Even though it the book they are in Edwards Meadow..

    I really think this movie is going to be FANTASTIC! I just can’t wait to see it!

  16. Eugenia_Cullen says:

    YES!!!! i totally agree with this!!! th were wolfs r sooo fake! why didn’t they try with a piece of paper so it would look more fake… huh?
    n yeah… i feel pretty disappointed.. i think i expected more from this guy director!!! i want Catherine Hardwick back!!!! i dont know why… but i feel like K Stew is overreacting in th movie… im so angry cuz this is so not like th original story!!!! =(

  17. Eugenia_Cullen says:

    n th Cullen’s house is not even th same gr8 house th had on th Twilight movie!!!!! some details were left behind!

  18. maritza says:

    THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME AND WITH THE WHOLE WEREWOLF THING I DISSAGREE I THINK THEY MADE HIM TRANSFORM REALLY GOOD THAT WAS THE BEST PART AND WITH THE WHOLE THING ABOUT SHES NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW IS JACOB WELL THE CLIPS ARE ALL DIFFERENT SCENES AND I BET THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME

  19. mykaela says:

    @ Lauren, i totally agree with you!!!!!

  20. Grusome The Twi-Guy says:

    rosalie was probably concerned about jasper not bella thats why she looked concerned

  21. Obsessed Fan says:

    Omg! I totally agree with the whole meadow thing. I was watching the it and I was like, “Um.. they’re supposed to be in Edward’s meadow, not old hay and dead pine needles.”.
    I’m just hoping they fix it before November 20th.

  22. Linz twi-fan says:

    The people who are discussing this movie sound like they don’t even know what is going on in New Moon!! Not you guys on the forum, the two people from the article!!

  23. twiii says:

    another miss, kristenstewerts acting when in the begining.

  24. M3L Black says:

    they were in the meadow but it just didnt look the same without edward there, like someone else said.
    I like kristen’s acting in the trailer.
    Lastly I love the way the wolves look. I just hope they are big as horses, from certain angles in the trailer I couldnt tell if it was or not.

  25. Niveah says:

    I agree with Linz twi-fan.
    and the wolves look good!

  26. Krissssstin. says:

    i think kristen is a great actress and she has definitely improved with portraying Bella! :)

    this movie is going to rock! i really hope its as perfect as the book

  27. Lyllyanna says:

    I totally agree with this. I think that in the beginning of the “kiss me scene”, Bella(Kristen) looked disgusted to kiss Edward(Rob). I HATE the way they keep changing Jasper hair. When Edward threw Jasper back, it seemed that no one was really concerned about it. I thought Rosalie needed to be more hateful towards Bella. I hope that the breakup scene is WAY better then that. And I hope that the CGI is WAY better then that. I mean the cheapist CGI I have even seen in a movie like New Moon. I personally think that Summit is not taking these books seriously. My thoughts, alone.

  28. ~*~Trina~*~ says:

    Ok about the slight miss… I think the part with Jacob is probably the part when him an paul fight!!! I’m not 100% sure!!! An the Meadow wtf are they trying to make it all dead b/c Edward left they should not do that!!! Anyway all I know is that I can’t wate untill November!!!

  29. meags the twilight lover=] says:

    your right when jake phases from sexy human form to snarling wolf form its two different scenes when he phases he’s not attacking laurent he’s going for paul when they fight
    so yeah
    i ily twilight <3

  30. Nicole says:

    I agree. I wish it was in the meadow ( I was like what the heck, this is not the right place and besides Laurant never touches Bella in the book he only talks about killing her and hopefully they tell why he was back in Forks, because of Victoria) And I am 22 reminding myself Taylor (Jacob) is only 17, sweet heavens! Also, I hope that they show the wolves in their wolf form when they kill Laurant. AND besides Bella definitely tries to tell Laurant that Edward and his family sill live in Forks- right or do I need to re-read again?

    Lyllyanna, Summit will realize when they get bad reviews that they need to take it more seriously if they are not already doing so. :) They will have a bunch of angry fans on their hands.

    Overall I’m pretty excited :) 169 days!!!

  31. Alice Wanna be says:

    I agree that the werewolves could have been better in the CGI effects. I also think that the werewolves should have been like underworld and have them stand on two legs and then be able to crouch down.

  32. ollie_greektwilighter says:

    i loved everything on the trailer! i don’t have to say anything negative! i just hope that in the break up scene they gonna follow the book and the lines “it will be as i’ve never excisted” “you don’t want me” “no”…uh..can’t wait!!

  33. Nadia says:

    ho, this article is really cool!!! I think that they’re right when they said that Kristen is strange when she asked” kiss me” …
    Your site is very cool! I love it!!!

    ps: sorry if I’ve done english mistakes because I’m french ^^”

  34. SintasticTwihard says:

    Ok so I personally think that you people have to remember this is the MOVIE & not the BOOK. There are always some differences between the 2. Im not totally convinced that the meadow was supposed to be Edwards meadow. Something I’ll have to read up on again.

    The Jake thing. The wolf phasing was not Jake. It was someone else. I cant remember if it was Paul or Jared. But it wasnt Jake phasing. The scene where he stands up & the running scene into phasing are 2 different people. Hence the different Bellas.

    If you havent read the book, dont read this part (lol). The reason Bella doesnt look excited about the kiss at the beginning is because if you remember in the book, they just had an argument in the truck. Which is probably why Edward looked so pissed at the party. They argued alot at the beginning of the book.

    And yes, Taylors body is remarkable! Im a married 26 year old mom & I have to remind myself that hes only 17! But saying that…..Im Team Edward :)

  35. Violet says:

    Come on!! How many times must be said, for everyone to grab it!!!
    Jacob changing into the werewolf scene, is the one, when Paul wants to attack Bella, and Bella and Laurant scene is in the meadow!!!
    Taylor Lautner talked about it at the MTV movie award, watch the videos, people!!!

  36. ollie_greektwilighter says:

    AMEN!!! ^^^
    i hope everyone will see your comment! =|

  37. SintasticTwihard says:

    Ok so I revise my previous Jake statement. Thanks Violet. I heard the interview wrong last time. It is the Paul/Jake fight protecting Bella. My mistake :)

  38. TIFFANY says:

    thank u! finally, lol. its the same on every comment bord, no one is reading previouse comments to realize its two diff scenes! im sooo exited its FINALLY catching on!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. um most of u are forgetting something! all of this is in the SCRIPT. They were told to put on all the expressions and moves …. its not what they think they should act like. if thats what new moon was like it would totally suck

  40. dazzler86 says:

    ok sooo yeah i loved the wolves because it is a HUGE wolf not a “werewolve” in the since that we think werewolves should look. if you have read breaking dawn you would know that they are not werewolves but shape shifters and are only supposed to look like a really big wolf… the trailer was amazing and i to noticed that the 2 scene difference!!! im sooooo excited and cant waite till NOVEMBER!!!!

  41. dazzler86 says:

    hah and sintastic im with you, im married with kids as well and i have to keep my day dreams about taylor at an innocent level knowing that he is so young :p

  42. TIFFANY says:

    lol, same 4 me with rob!! although he is of age, i am married, with three little ones, so, ya, must restrain from drooling ;)

  43. SintasticTwihard says:

    im so glad im not the only one with kids out there thats so obsessed. and i agree with tiffany too ~> im a rob fan but no one can deny how great taylor looked in the trailer…

  44. Taylor&JacobLvr says:

    lol..yeah ppl are finally realizing that its two different scenes and wait..the wolf looked good to me. its suppose to be A HORSE SIZE WOLF, THATS ALL. JUST A HUGE REGULAR LOOKING WOLF like dazzler86 put from what I’ve read. I couldnt tell from the camera angles how big it was but I hope its huge.
    I also saw nothing wrong with kristen’s acting at all in the trailer

  45. twiHAWAII says:

    “Slight Miss: So at first I was really bothered because in the book, the wolf pack saves Bella from Laurent and she doesn’t know it’s Jacob. It adds to the suspense and the eventual reveal.

She’s wearing a brown jacket in one and a blue jacket with her backpack on in the other. I don’t know how the werewolf reveal will work out, but I hope it’s good.”

    In this part, Taylor told MTV NEWS that, that scene is completely two different scenes. He said this scene its actually Paul turning into the wolf at the scene.

  46. TIFFANY says:

    ya, althought im totally team edward, i ove jake!! and o ya, he looks dang good ! lol,

    and ya taylor&jacoblvr, but remeber, he doesnt get that big untill the last book! in new moon, its sam, the leader who is that big! and jake is the second smallest wolf. he grows throughout the series! so TAYLOR will bulk up even more 4 eclipse, and be huge in breking dawn!! YYUUMMMY!

  47. Taylor&JacobLvr says:

    yeah I understand u tiffany. Im just saying they arent suppose to look like the werewolves in Underworld…but like regular wolves

  48. Taylor&JacobLvr says:

    well thats how I envisioned them

  49. FariesWorls says:

    I liked it! But I did find 2 things that I was expecting better.
    1. The good buy was to dry. I was expecting a total melt down.
    2. The wolf was too much I though it was going to be like a BIG BEAR or something around that area.
    The rest I did like.

  50. Rachel Cullen says:

    OMG it was supposed to be Jacobs pack that saves her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. golden eyes,golden heart says:

    I am so so soooo glad they have kept close to the book when makin the wolves, i would of hated it if they had made them like the underworld wolves were they stand on 2 legs n crouch down,if you remember right jacob and the pack arnt werewolves they are shape shifters (sorry to you who havnt read breakin dawn) so he isnt half man half wolf.
    as for Bella bein ‘coy’ in the kiss me clip it might seem wrong in some way b/c its taken out of context maybe it would be better with the scene running up to it? idk as fore Bella bein coy? she is the one pushin the relationship forward wantin more closeness,Edward has to unlock her from his body when they kiss a number of times.

    the bit that bugs me is in the bday scene were jasper attacks Bella everyone just stands there,Emmet even has his hands in his pockets! the vampire that loves a good fight! idk maybe they cut it before everyone gets involved all i can say is i cant wait for november!!!

  52. Lauren says:

    Did anyone think about the fact that a trailer is different parts of the film. I dont think they will ruin the werewolf reveal for all of us…fingers crossed anyway!!!

  53. golden eyes,golden heart says:

    I am so so soooo glad they have kept close to the book when makin the wolves, i would of hated it if they had made them like the underworld wolves were they stand on 2 legs n crouch down,if you remember right jacob and the pack arnt werewolves they are shape shifters (sorry to you who havnt read breakin dawn) so he isnt half man half wolf.

    I LOVE Laurents eyes.super scary so much better then the ones in twilight

    the bits that bug me are in the bday scene the paper cut is a little over the top, throws the present to the ground? youd drop it maybe…… The other is were jasper attacks Bella everyone just stands there ,Emmet even has his hands in his pockets! the vampire that loves a good fight! idk maybe they cut it before everyone gets involved all i can say is i cant wait for november!!!

  54. SintasticTwihard says:

    you just have to remember that when the vampire attack scenes (like jasper at the party) are in super slow motion so everyone else not jumping in right away is probably because the scene they showed us was way too short & it was slow motioned. did that make any sense?

  55. YEAH IAGREE WITH SINATICTWIHARD

  56. it's a teaser! says:

    The trailer is just a teaser meaning it’s just bits and pieces of what they have done since they are still filming, so that’s not the whole goodbye scene or anything. I read some people freaking out over the fact that it wasn’t just like the book! I am hoping they do that scene word for word though, it was beautifully written, however much it hurts my heart!

    I loved the trailer… it gives me goosebumps! I’m so excited for November!!! Personally, I do think that Kristen isn’t the most amazing actress in the world as far as evolving into her characters. It’s like she’s just herself reading lines, luckily it works with the role of Bella.

  57. Bella4eva says:

    Rosalie looks concerned probably cuz member how SHE’S the one MOST concerned about wat she and her family are and rember 4m twilights; ” Rosalie struggles the most with what we are”. I think thats a GOOD thing, it should @ LEAST be given the credit for character!

  58. Supergirl8 says:

    Is Anyone else on team Jacob because on the lict its even lower than team Switzerland Im concerned

  59. the movie is going to be the best the kiss was off but the rest was so good

  60. rob is so sexy and iam a mom of two and iam 36

  61. golden eyes,golden heart says:

    wow my comments been posted twice,weird i dont remember doin that :$

  62. golden eyes,golden heart says:

    SINTASTICTWIHARD: ur prolly right,in the next clip Emmet is missin so im guessin hes takin Jasper out.the more i watch it the more its clear that its loads of clips put togeather,just got way to excited before.
    cant wait for the real trailer :)

  63. Danielle Cook says:

    the part where bella is sayin “Jake run!” is not related to Laurent.Bella is really runnin from Paul in this scene because if u look closely u will see that Bella is wearin a gray sweater and yellow backpack with Laurent, but with Jake it is a brown sweater and no backpack and the wolves may look different in the movie because they had just stopped shootin the day before and just put a wolf there.

  64. Stephanie loves Edward says:

    well this trailer is a teaser. and ITS WORKING
    god damnit i cant wait for the movie to come out already. this is agony. but i mean i love twilight and i rly think that after breaking dawn there could have been another book adding to the story instead of twilight in edward’s perspective but w/e it’s steph’s choice. :P anyways i love twilight. so w/e

  65. ~Meg~ says:

    I love how they did the wolves! they could be a bit bigger but they look awsome. thanks for the notice on Bella’s coat and backpack, i was afraid they were going to ruin that part. I’m happy they didn’t!

  66. Aly--i-luv-my-jacob-- says:

    i didn’t like the part where he leaves her…in the book he is supposed to look and sound as if it doesn’t bother him one bit…but in the movie…he looks as if he is dying..like he is being tortured..its just not right!!

    and i noticed a lot of people upset about the part with Laurent..but as it said..it is very clearly 2 scenes!
    so stop worrying to all those who thought it was how it was gonna be! =]

    btw..the movie looks awesome!! i can’t wait to see it!!!
    it comes out the day before my 17th birthday!
    Twilight came out on my 16th birthday!
    Eclipse is gonna break the chain…because it comes out June 30! =[
    oh well..
    and i can’t wait until Breaking Dawn comes out!!!!! =D

  67. ~kxcullen~ says:

    it was really good but when she is running from Laurent it is very clear that its to scenes. Bella always looks like she has some sort of blusher on but that’s not that bad. the wolf ! wow it was amazing it maybe needed to be a bit bigger but the cgi was really good i was really worried about that! i hope the rest is as good !!

  68. ~kxcullen~ says:

    p.s the teaser bit it is wearing i cnt w8 til the film comes out me and my m8s are all ready planing it !
    the bit where he leaves her is agony we all reckon we will need a box of tissues…each!
    it is sooooooo unfair that it comes out in America first! i will be reading everyone’s comments on for a WEEK before i can see it !!!
    i really cant w8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. ~kxcullen~ says:

    sorry i meant working not wearing! lol

  70. ~kxcullen~ says:

    to fariesworls
    if you av red the books you will no that in the good bye scene bella is so shocked and upset she cannot move!
    i think the cullen house is WAY different but it will work out all rite
    i think taht before the party scene upstairs edward is saying summin bout them having to go because of the whole age thing like he said in the book (but as an excuse to have to leave!)
    i think everyone elses reaction in the trailer to the jasper thing was a bit relaxed especialy alices!

  71. ~kxcullen~ says:

    p.s i think his hair looks like a werewolf! (a real 1 not a shape shifter! lol :) ) jaspers i mean!
    I AM TEAM SWITZERLAND! because i am a Virgo(literally)
    although sometimes i get really annoyed at jacob! one day i was sooo annoyed that i managed to blame him for edward leaving had a actual reason as well! but it was so cryptic i forgot it as soon as i thought of it !
    p.s i also think that taylor maybe..slightly..possibly shows of and poses a bit to much so i suppose i am TEAM EDWARD more than any !!!

  72. leigha smith says:

    ROBERT U ROCK HARD U NEED 2 GET A PICTURE WITH UR SHIRT OFF SO US PEOPLE CAN THAT HOT BOOOOOOOOODDDDDDYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. ~kxcullen~ says:

    …interesting

  74. ~kxcullen~ says:

    can i just say…

  75. ~kxcullen~ says:

    this actually made me cry !
    i was sooooo upset by him actually saying it ! it made it more real!
    at least i didnt show the-
    “you.dont.want.me.”
    “No.”
    bit because that was when the water works really started when i read the book!
    i am doomed!
    p.s i dont no why my computer made it 2 msgs

  76. Tara Golden says:

    I would love to see Edwards n Bellas love for eachother. It explains it in so much more detail in the book. The way he holds her waist where ever they go. The way he looks @ her the way they seem to be fighting the urge to touch. I would like to see for of that
