I'm a big fan of the books. However, the movie did not satisfy me. Harry Potter was great and the Lord of the Rings amazing. What happened with this movie?

Harry Potter was great and the Lord of the Rings amazing. What happened with this movie? Well, some of the supporting actors were stiff, the cinematography was awesome and I loved the music, but the screenplay was the killer. The screenplay did not adequately build the romance nor the suspense and left me wanting so I read the book for a fourth time. Expand

Just like the rest of the girls in America, I was sucked into the cult of Stephanie Meyer. I read all the borrowed books and even bought Break Dawn. I fully enjoyed the series for what it was: fluff. The problem with some people's viewJust like the rest of the girls in America, I was sucked into the cult of Stephanie Meyer. I read all the borrowed books and even bought Break Dawn. I fully enjoyed the series for what it was: fluff. The problem with some people's view on the film is that they are going to see it expecting gold, or on the other end of the spectrum, crap. This movie fully lived up to my expectations and actually a little higher. Yes I know many people think that Pattinson was miscast and Stewart was "too pretty" for the role of Bella but who cares? Their line delivery was fantastic. Even one of my straight male friends was laughing out loud at points. I will agree however that if you didn't read the book(s) you didn't get the full (for lack of a better word) "experience" of the movie. But that doesn't mean it deserves a 2 out of 10 rating. You don't go to Disaster Movie expecting to be floored by their original jokes and Oscar worthy acting do you? Then don't go into Twilight expecting to see Cohen film and you won't be disappointed.

Why spend so much on James/Victoria/Laurent when there are so many interesting passages and dialogues that were not shown, or were extensively modified? Either way, Pattinson and Stewart are excelent. Also the kissing scene, the Why spend so much on James/Victoria/Laurent when there are so many interesting passages and dialogues that were not shown, or were extensively modified?

Twilight was a very fast paced movie comparing it with the book. The movie should have been longer since fans were hoping for an exact or close to exact replica of the book.

Bella(Kristen Stewart) is a vegetarian. At lunch with dad, the pale girl orders a garden burger; with her paler boyfriend, she orders a mushroom omelete. Is Bella an animal rights activist, or does she avoid eating things with faces for Bella(Kristen Stewart) is a vegetarian. At lunch with dad, the pale girl orders a garden burger; with her paler boyfriend, she orders a mushroom omelete. Is Bella an animal rights activist, or does she avoid eating things with faces for health reasons? In other words, how much does she have in common with her vampire beau? Edward(Robert Pattison) is a vegetarian, too, relative to the fact, however, that vampires need blood for their ongoing survival. Like his brood, Edward only eats animals. Since he's immortal, a four- instead of a two-legged diet, in all likelihood, is an ethical stand that he and the Cullen vampires undertook. For sure, the acronym sucks: VETP(Vampires for the Ethical Treatment of People). Regardless of the basis behind Bella's meatless diet, both boy and girl have this in common: discipline. Bella is the steak that all vegetarians crave when they bite down on some soy-based product. Edward will have to eat a lot of beavers(no pun intended) in order to get through those long, cold nights up there in the northwest. In "Twilight", although no sex occurs between Edward and Bella, the hunky bloodsucker does sink his choppers into the girl's arm. Bella wants him to go all the way. Thankfully, for her sake, Edward has a level head. He unlocks his jaws before any damage can be done. There will be a time, though, when the gentleman vampire won't be able to abstain from his natural impulse to suck her brains out. Bella might get her wish, after all. She's so sure that her future lies with this post-Goth adonis; he's her first love, seemingly. But if Bella finally becomes immortal like her beloved, how will she feel about Edward in a hundred years? Maybe Edward knows this. The girl he chooses will be inextricably linked to him forever. They need to go on a date. None of this flying above the trees nonsense, like "Crouching Vampire, Hidden Arizona Girl". Dinner and a movie, perhaps? Expand

What's all the fuss about?! It's a rather ordinary story, peppered with a few good special effects and a lot of way too pale skin. The performances are fair, good score and cinematography but it hardly has that "wow" factor.

Not as bad as I was expecting it to be. But then again, maybe my expectations were already so low that it didn't take much for Twilight to please me. I feel a new approach to directing might have made it much better. It seemed choppy at times, jumping from one thing to the next. It seemed to lack some good dialogue. Some more dialogue from the book itself could have been added to give the viewer that deja vu feeling of: "Oh yeah! I remember when Edward said that!" I don't like how they made Bella appear *completely* anti-social. Sure, she is supposed to be on the quiet side... more reserved and accident-prone. But her dialogue was awkward, and she came across as someone who didn't want to talk, as if she hadn't spoken in years and was just getting used to the English language again. It was okay overall. I know it will definitely please the majority, if not all, of the tween crowd, but it wasn't enough for me. Expand

Movie was decent, but the source material seems silly. please don't make any comparisons to J.K. Rowling who is a genuine marvel with a pen, Stephanie Myer just feeds off the lusts of young women, doesnt hold a candle to Ms rowling. However it certainly is still a watchable piece of mindless entertainment, albeit with a pretty annoying charisma free supporting cast (the secondary high school students, secondary vampires were quite interesting).

It's a decent back story, but the characters are all emo. It's quite annoying. It has potential, but it lacks the excitement needed. And the fact that the vampires sparkle? Seriously? No fangs? These AREN'T vampires... call them something else.

(Not a fan) Twilight is not very bad and stupid after all

1. Acting
The Acting isn't perfect nor bad, it is mediocre, no Julia Roberts here or either Brad Pitt is in this movie. But still, in a movie, actors should not be speaking with no emotions, there should be emotions, but the movie lacks the emotions. 5.5/10

2. Plot/Story line
The story is good, very entertaining and mysterious, it isn't bad but it isn't perfect, it is just good. 6.5/10

3.Soundtrack
The score in this movie is just perfect, Twilight sounds great, and this is the strongest point in this movie, the soundtrack is PERFECT. 10/10

4. Book Based
The dialogue is the weakest point of the movie, it is cheesy and bad, really bad, but you would enjoy Twilight for what it is. 3/10

Maybe you would say I am stupid and I don't understand Twilight as much as you do, but this is my review (my opinion) of Twilight, lets be fair and put hate aside and judge it as a movie.

Still Twilight would be perfect with a bigger budget, but after all...
6.2/10 Slightly more than average, just fine.

I also hated that the one instrument they used for the film's score was a guitar. There was not enough action in the film and when there was, it didn't thrill me. And the baseball scene was fucking ridiculous. Twilight was a film that I didn't like, but I also didn't hate, and if they change some things around, this could become a great series.

The movie does has decent premise, however there are things that bogs it down. It has horrible paceing by the time these two lovebirds stay together, my daughter will be grauating and her mom hopefully at new house. The acting is kinda of there and not there. This is the big deal that people were wating for what a messs. Even the special effects are not to be considered cool or captivating. The main problem with Twillight is it's trying to hide a sterotype of vampires that includes sex, and violence, and blood on a teenage drama that is'nt really working out. Expand

Twilight had a decent story (would have been a 7), but the acting brought it down drastically. Kristen Stewart shouldn't be casted in any movies where she is a bad actress. Same with everyone else in this.

Twilight has its own particularly fanciful take on vampire lore (especially the 'in sunlight' sequence). However the pacing is off and the direction seems tv movie grade. Despite this, there was something engaging in the cast and heart of the storytelling that kept me engaged. Expand

One of the most entertaining Twilight movies in the whole series, but it still sucks. I think the cast is good and some scenes are enjoyable but besides that, the movie is a boredom.

Watered-down vampire romance fluff for a younger audience. Mostly ho-hum; feels like a made-for-TV movie. More mature viewers will likely long for something more substantial. Maybe try Anne Rice instead.

I think people go into this movie exoecting to hate it and just want to piss of the crazy little girls who love it. Kristen Stewart tries to hard and is to melodramatic, but Patinson suprisingly good and charming. Hardwicke is a terrible director. Its obvious that she can't control herself with random, orgasmic camera movements that are detrimental to their cause: building tension. On top of this she brings out nothin in her ensemble and can't direct action. It's not only budget, there are movie with dirt cheap budgets that pull it off ebcause the director can HIDE the budget if they are good at all. Hardwicke is not good. At all. And I don't care what the slappy's say, when there's a mythology around a being (i.e. Vampires have fangs, and only come out at night) it's a writers duty to simultaneously meet the requirments for the type, and defy boundaries without rewriting whats been previously laid down. This is like a werewolf that doesn't transform on full moons... oh wait, that ends up happening in the next movie doesn't it? Expand

Given a 4 for funny dialogue. Rancid, badly-written movie for a rancid, badly-written book. Looking up the actors, especially the male lead, talking about their feelings on the film is a worthwhile time investment for bonus laughs.

This woman has completely killed vampire mythos in her books and now, unfortunately, by letting a film adaptation be made. This true love thing ONLY exists while you're 14 - 17. Hopefully by 18 you'll understand that you're not supposed to drop your entire life and family cause of some young male, especially one that wants to kill you. I literally felt colorblind for most of the movie since, even though colors were present, they were so washed out with post-production that it felt like a high-quality re-envisioning of Blue Moon (which was MUCH more entertaining.) The lead actors (whose names I do not care to remember) were terrible. Stuttering beyond the point where stuttering is still socially acceptable, acting nervous and sketchy, and trying too hard. The vampire "family" was a hilarious and sad joke, and the diamond-skin... thats a serious WTF. The bottom line is this: If you want vampires, read Anne Rice prior to 1998. If you want a sappy teen romance filled with abstinence and drug avoidance and vampires that are socially conscience, don't feed on humans, and can walk in the sunlight, rent this crap. Expand

The actors are all wooden and incoherent in their role, presenting themselves like noobs who memorize the verses word by word with no meaning or emphasis to it. The story contains the cheesiest dialogue made up of "I love you. (Stare) (kiss) Let's be together" and other kinds of disgusting crap (Vampires....sparkle?). Most importantly, the movie has no in-depth; the character development is incomplete and baffling as well, resulting to a general "whatever" pace of the movie. Oh, and Kristen Stewart? She is one **** spoiled brat we've got there. Overall, like Justin Bieber, "Twilight"'s a fad movie that will attract many teenage romance geeks but repel professional movie critics.

PS: What the **** is wrong with Robert Pattinson? Why is he so white? Somebody give him some blood or something!

Bella: no i don't like the rain, i don't like anything cold and wet (worth noting these abysmal actors stutter their way through the lines, straining at an attempt to portray high school love, but frequently missing the mark and just showing themselves to be poor actors) The plot is nonsensical and horrendous, the support cast don't help at all. And did i mention, the dialogue is awful. Gets a three for the scenes which weren't utterly appalling, and for the unintentionally witty lines (see above) and my personal favourite: Edward: hold on spider monkey (aimed at Bella) not spider girl, or spider woman, or even spider lady, no..... spider monkey!

A vampire is not a vampire just because it sucks blood; leeches and mosquitos suck blood too. It could of been a lot more appealing with a better cast, Rob said himself in an interview that he wished it had more violence, he's not the right man for the job; someone more sensitive and with a better hold on romance would have been better. I'm finding it hard to find good things to say, but its just too cheesy to comment on, one thing I did like was the small role played by Bella's father(Billy Burke) and Alice(Ashley Greene) but I feel hard to give these value as they are both established actors.
