Twilight rocked. The obsessiion and intensity between Bella and Edward was palpable. Give me more...i'm an addict! the music in the film was so perfect.

Ridiculous. Sappy. Like a bad MTV video or after school special. Really geared for teenage girls.

For all of you that gave 1's and 2's i have to say one thing you guys are totally dumb. This is one of the best romantic movies since Romeo and Juliet. I loved Twilight , cant wait til New Moon hits the big screen.

I understand the "gothic romance" thing, but this is "emo." 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 - I understand the "gothic romance" thing, but this is "emo." 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 girl who plays Bella couldn't be more mediocre, and Edward...well at least he has his looks and white makeup to support him through life. Let's just say I'm not a fan.… Expand

The one thing I give the filmmakers respect for was how they portrayed teenagers as they are supposed to be and not how they are on Disney Channel (I hate those bastards). The acting was better than I thought, and I liked the story. And the first half was great. However, even in the first part of the film, the visual effects were shit. 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. But for the Twilight fans, what more can they ask for?… Expand

Just an awful, awful movie. It's clear that if you don't fall within the 12-16 teen girl range that this movie targets you won't find it at all entertaining or bearable. I had to stop watching half way through.

The Movie and the books are total crap. It makes no sense that a vampire wouldn't kill other humans not suck human blood and go out in the open light. This movie is a poor exucise for a vampire film.-G.A.T.E.T.V. Van Helsing & Blade.

Twilight is a small nudge above that but it's cult like following boosted it's popularity and box office numbers. Any movie that actually has a budget bigger than what's in your bank account is better than this movie. The lack of character development, bad acting, bad special effects and horrible directing and shooting simply makes this one of the worst "wide-release" movies ever. Simply put... If the books never existed and this was just another vampire movie... it would have lost money and you wouldn't be reading this right now.… 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.

The special effects are barely hidden, as is the value of our female lead. I am tempted to call her a heroine, but aside from rushing into a an obvious trap to trade her life for her family, she never does anything especially heroic. She praises her friend as a strong independent woman while showing little sign of being such herself. Perhaps I just don't see it as a man, but Edward does not seem to be as "beautiful" as he is described. The re-imagination of the vampire legends does allow the story to avoid certain classic pitfalls of vampire media, but Meyer seems to be intent on keeping the general convention of women intact. That is to say, if they do not have some supernatural powers, they are pathetic. At least Bella shows some desire to become a vampire toward the end.… Expand

I'm not sure if it was really the acting (hello B-list) or the director trying to jam in insignificant book details rather than taking time to build suspence and character depth.

I decided to watch the movie for a few laughs but in the end, I regretted it. The whole series in general dulls the name of vampires because vampires don't go out in the day and vampires suck humans' blood. The dialouge is poor and the characters have absolutely no background. Bella doesn't even do or say things that a normal person would do. I can't find one good reason why teen fangirls that drool over Edward call this romantic. The romance in the movie is dull and is only normal high school life, something many believe to happen to very few people.

Twilight, the film that keeps on giving. But the question is whether the audience wants what this film has to offer. The dialogue is poor at best and utterly atrocious if not. The script feels as if it was written by an 8 year old with a Twilight, the film that keeps on giving. But the question is whether the audience wants what this film has to offer. The dialogue is poor at best and utterly atrocious if not. The script feels as if it was written by an 8 year old with a vocabulary of around 25 words: Edward: do you like the rain? 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!… Expand

An interesting spin on the vampire theme. I particularly enjoyed how they spent so much time on the developing relationship; you always want more of that in a movie - but instead they focus too much on the action parts. They did it right with this movie. You must remember that the book is told from the viewpoint of Bella, and a lot of the book is her thoughts. How do you get that on screen? It's difficult, and I believe they made a very decent attempt at it. They couldn't capture everything from the book so they captured the characters "journey" fairly accurately. I have since read the book as well as the second book, and I will be reading the third over the next day or so. It's not the most amazing litterature ever but it's fun to read and it's an interesting story. The story isn't only enjoyable to teenagers.

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

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.

Imagination and appreciation goes along way when a film comes close to the book. Can't wait for part 2, and I believe it willl just get better with each film. People tend to forget that this is a love STORY which totally brought me back to my days of PUPPY LOVE and anticipation of that first KISS, its also got plenty action. Its not intended to be a TERMINATOR FLICK, it has to keep the element of love aswell. I think it has a great combination of both as an intro to the SAGA and Bella's and Edwards love, I also hope that the element remains and that the action does indeed intensify as the story / saga thickens!!!… Expand

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.

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

However; I didFirst of all, I went into the movie right after reading through the full series, from page one of Twilight right through to the last page of Breaking Dawn (Uninterupted it took me 22 Hours, and I've now been up for 32.) However; I did not go into the movie with any expectations. After sitting through the movie, I can tell you without a doubt that it was totally worth it, and is easily in my top ten movies of all time, however, there were a few problems I had. First of all, the movie seemed to rush through everything. It didn't give you a lot of time to think between major plot pieces, and that bumped the score down a little for me. I don't like to be bombarded with too much information too quickly as you never seem to be able to grasp it all. Secondly, I didn't think that they were true enough to Edward's character, leaving him a bit more nervous than he'd been portrayed in the book. It didn't bother me too much, but since the book was that way, I don't see why the movie couldn't portray him as charismatically unsure as well. Nervous and sketchy was a little off the mark. Lastly, I didn't think that it was long enough. It could have used about twenty minutes or so more of padding, the little scenes, like the whole 'La Push Beach Excursion" could have been lengthened, as well as making the first woods scene a little more true to the book. Now, that said, I believe that any true Twilight fan will really like this movie, as it's a good representation of the book, save for the small details and slightly rushed plot. This movie gets an 8.5/10 from me, and even as a twenty year old guy, I highly recommend it. (No, really.)… Expand
