Five Best things about New Moon according to People

Because The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the most highly anticipated movie of the year, fervent fans – whether on Team Edward or Team Jacob – are practically salivating at the prospect of seeing their favorite heartthrobs on the big screen once the movie opens Nov. 20.

And since PEOPLE has gotten an early look at the film, now we can report on the top five aspects to New Moon that fans can eagerly anticipate. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)

Jacob Black's Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. In fact, Lautner sizzles and smolders throughout New Moon as he walks the line between friendship and romance with Bella (Kristen Stewart). Though Bella's heart belongs to Edward (Robert Pattinson), Launter may steal Pattinson's heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose.

Bella and Edward's Reunion: When Edward comes to the (incorrect) conclusion that his love, Bella, is dead, he decides there is no choice but to commit vampire suicide. Of course, the only person who can save him is Bella. When she launches herself through a crowd and across a fountain in an Italian square to push Edward out of harm's way, the sparks that fly between the soul-mates are like fireworks.

The Wolf Pack: The actors who play Jacob Black's gang of strapping pals provide the perfect mix of teen tension and ferocious loyalty that exist between the group of guys who realize that one and all are actually werewolves. They snarl and yelp, tease and torment each other, and of course, fight together just like Twilight Saga author Stephanie Meyer describes in her series.

Dakota Fanning: She plays the pint-sized vamp, Jane, who wields a daunting power – simply by concentrating she can cause her victims to convulse in excruciating pain. She's not in the movie for very long, but when she focuses those red eyes on her targets and softly whispers, "Pain," everyone will squirm.

The Sense of Humor: While the Twilight series is based overwrought teenage angst, director Chris Weitz lightens the mood with some well-placed humor. Bella's human school friends provide comic relief. When one of them has to leave a horror movie because he's ill, Launter's character laughs and says, "What a marshmallow." And when a member of the wolf pack accidentally changes from human to werewolf right in front of Bella, another member quips, "Well, I guess the wolf is out of the bag."

Reunion scene FTW!!!

But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. More like gag-worthy.


"What a marshmallow Really, Jacob? How is that even funny?



Launter may steal Pattinson's heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose. Umm, no. I don't see this happening. Ever. LOL!

Is the scene where Taylor rips of his shirt the 'You're so beautiful' scene, because I hated that, it looked like a soap opera and it was so dramatic.

'Sort of'

Will Failcob just GTFO already, i want New Moon to be over and done with so we can get back to how things used to be. I was rooting for Chris to re-cast Jacob, shame :(

I see people saying that, but they're going to push him WAY harder than even this for Eclipse. I hate that, but I don't see how people think they'll go back to focusing on b/e again.

Why is when everyone talks about Taylor, it's his body that gets the attention not his acting, it's like his body eclipses his acting.

The only worthwhile thing to talk about Taylor is his body.

Sadly, that's a true fact.

'Jacob Black's body'

Oh for the love of God, please STOP! Ugh. He's just a kid, FFS.


'the sparks that fly between the soul-mates are like fireworks'




They semi-redeemed themselves with this comment. Can't wait for this scene.

YAY for the Italy reunion<3 One of the only parts of this movie i'm looking forward too.

I always find it rather amusing how all they compliment Taylor for is his body and not his acting abilities. or lack thereof Oh and Taylor stealing Rob's status? Keep on dreaming. In the end it will be Rob whose going to have a long career and Taylor will forever be known as wolfboy.
