This is not a vampire film, its a silly romantic fantasy written by sum chick. the film technically is actually quite good and welll made but da story is just ridiculous. I give it 3 stars 4 the production quality alone.

It's a rather over hyped and overated film, even thow it is watchable and entertainning. Its a decent start to what could be a potentialy great and remarkable series. Definately a new take on the romantic vampire genre, its far from epic or even being great but is good enough to ...( read more)

[PROPER REVIEW TO FOLLOW]
Okay, I said I wasnt going to watch this, but being sick and house ridden all day got the best of me. It wasnt that bad, I still say its an extra cheesy romantic teenybopper movie. All the girls keep saying the guys in this movie were hot... but I stil...( read more) -

God this was pants! Why does anyone like it? If you want a good vampire movie watch "Let the right one in"

All in all it was good. They took out a couple scenes I really wanted to see and rushed through some parts they needed to take time on, and all together changed some things. But I still enjoyed it...
Alice and Bella were so perfect lol. -

Could have been a better story, but the cheesy dialogues and weak performances make it a schmaltzy silly flick that may only please the hardcore fans.

My expectations for this film couldn't have been any lower. I was practically forced to watch this film, which I'd been hating ever since it was announced. So, having no choice, I sat down and started to watch TWILIGHT, and, I must admit, it wasn't entirely bad.
The story is ...( read more) -

While Twilight has an amazing premise and a great story to back it up, it can't help but fall prey to the terrible script and bad acting from the leads. Stephine Meyers' Twilight has a morbid energy level that resonates with a tale of forbidden love, and the story is highly ...( read more)
Critic Reviews
Twilight the movie is cautious, a sort of Tiger Beat-ified Twin Peaks. In its undercooked way, though, it's enjoyable. full review
It's a well-made but thematically flawed film based on a book that was ingenious in conceit but generically written. The strengths of one are the flaws of the other, and vice versa. full review
A hackneyed jumble of cuts and pastes from the book, blended with second-rate music video bits and third-rate visual effects, and finally undone by the fatal casting of Kristen Stewart as Bella. full review
Not that Twilight's fate hangs on intelligibility. It hangs on fangs that aren't bared, and on a bloodlust that isn't indulged. full review
...It's a fleeting reminder of how much dumb fun is missing from this oddly neutered neo-horror movie, and how little is being offered in its place. In "Twilight," the only characters drained dry are ... full review
Twilight is, by its very nature, all about unfinished business, the story of a brooding, caring romantic hero and the woman who cannot -- although she wants to -- yield to him. Only his eyes penetrate... full review
My advice: Focus on Pattinson and Stewart. They make you understand why the books sold 17 million copies. full review
Gothic wooziness stifles many of Hardwicke's lighter impulses, such as her knack for jiving humor in scenes among friends and family. And some of the more cartoonishly gymnastic CG stunts look plain s... full review

November 22, 2009I just saw it for the first time (I know, ridiculous) and I loved it! The story is very interesting, the acting is really good - especially when Bella almost dies.
I really have to mention the special effects as well, they did a good job!
I didn't read the book(s) but I'm sure I will in the future!
Edward has something dark about him, that's what is making him so sexy :)
I love the open end, can't wait to see the next movie!
Definitely a recommend! -
August 26, 2009I've read some of your coments and yes, SM created her own kind of 'vampires' (I agree with the coment below me), and it's good to create your own things. But I find these to be a little stupid, sorry I prefer the old-fashioned vampires, those who get in ashes when the sun shows up and don't sparkle. I mean LOVED the sparkling part, I had a really good laugh when he sparkled. "This is the skin of a murderer!" I laughed till the next scene.
For those who say 'This is the best mvoie I've ever seen' watch more movies, you'll see there are GREAT art pieces out there and Twilight is NOT a piece of art. Sorry. -
August 24, 2009Hate this movie. Hate it with a passion. I hated the first few seconds of it, and I can't stand the actors they picked. I don't mind Jasper...but everyone else doesn't work.
All their movie posters have these "I'm so sexy...watch this stupid movie." expressions on them.
This is the last movie I would recommend to anyone. I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.
Go ahead and give me crap for this comment, it's not gonna change my opinion. -
July 23, 2009I read the book saw the movie and frankly dude it sucked so not worth obsessing over at all! This is just a movie made to get people not to appriciate the an acual vampire movie like Interveiw with the Vampire or Lost Boys. Sorry to dissapoint when when you have a sparkly guy he's gay! Vampires are supposed to spontaniously burst into flames not sparkle! Yeah, I'm a twilight hater......deal with it!

July 13, 2009Twilight is great not exactly like the book, but is my all time favorite i loved it. Kristen Stwart and Rob Pattinson are awsome,can't wait for 11-20-09 lol!

July 9, 2009it was a really good movie, altough it didn't quite follow the book, there were some aspects that should have been explained in the movie and weren't.
But still i loved it and im looking forward to the next one ^^ -
June 29, 2009Vampires do NOT sparkle ..VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE. With out a doubt the worst vampire movie ever, women should not be allowed to write vampire books
