    What else woudl I want to see LOL

    A little disappointed but SPOIKER if you didn't hear already. Rob Pattison's song he wrote sounds pretty nice.
    However parts comeoff stale & there's some things that just don't seem right to me from the movie. Not sure if the acting was all ...( read more)that great either.

    I watched Twilight for the sole reason of knowing what the hell I was talking about whenever I shit on it and if there's a running theme of motif in Twilight, it is shit. Admittedly, for a movie that looks like it had $20 over the budget of a made-for-TV movie this didn't look th...( read more)at bad and despite the crappy contacts and me running the risk of sounding like a skeevy old bastard, Kristen Stewart was kind of cute despite the fact that she acts exclusively by biting her bottom lip. But Robert Pattinson and every syllable of constipatedly-delivered dialogue that came out his mouth was goddamned painful. The story itself wasn't as bad as I was expecting but once they got that baseball game going I... was.... in.... hell. I WAS IN HELL!!! I couldn't even appreciate Twilight in a bad dinner theater way. And everything that happened after the first half hour was completely abysmal. I know that teenagers aren't the most logical creatures on the face of the planet, but really!?!? And the worst part of the whole experience (aside from not watching this movie with the promised reward of getting laid) isn't really the awful, awful experience of watching Twilight itself, but the very real and distinct possibility that I'll watch New Moon when it comes out on cable. Seriously, in making that statement I feel like I was slipped roofies by a gay dude who proceeded to use me as his personal finger puppet and despite this grotesque violation I'd just been subjected to, I just told him he could call me. I know that 35 year-old men aren't the most logical creatures on the face of the planet, but really !?!?

    I waited until it reached TV, but I had to see movie that so many people were talking about. Eh, its just a love story between a young girl and a good looking vampire. I prefer True Blood for my vampire stories. Still it did have a plot, so it gets some marks.

    Finally got round to seeing this. A good film well done on a big budget. A teen romance film with a Vampire twist. Didn't have as much action as I was expecting but the special effects are pretty good. Hopefully the second film just out will take it up a couple of levels.

    Eeeee.... c'est quoi ça ? C'est quoi cette folie à propos de ce film ? C'est du n'importe quoi ! De un, ce mec est pas beau du tout ! De 2, tous les personnages dans leur ensemble sont très froid et distant, il on n'a même pas le gout de les connaitre. Il n'y a aucune action dans...( read more) ce film, autre une celle scène ! Tout le reste n'est que du "blabla et flafla". Vraiment je n'y comprend rien ! Je ne comprend en aucun cas toute la folie qui règne autre de ce film .... moi qui pensait enfin comprendre les femmes :( haha :P

    P.S.: Les vampires ne voit pas leur reflet dans la glace, un détail majeur dans une scène ou il y a seulement des mirroirs, très mal pensé :P Je rajouterai même que les vampires possèdent beaucoup trop de "pouvoir" à comparer au légende. Pas très fidèle !

    SUMMARY
    fantasy romance starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed. based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

    when seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan (Stewart) moves to ...( read more)Forks, Washington, to live with her father, she is anything but happy. gone are her friends. gone is the Arizona sunshine. gone is the life she once knew. but soon, Bella finds herself being drawn to the strikingly handsome Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and the mystery that surrounds the Cullen family.

    MY TAKE
    let me start by saying this: I did enjoy this film. I enjoyed it for what it is: a cheesy love story... which is exactly what I love about the books. they are a great escape and are a wonderful distraction from the crappy-ness that is reality. I can truly understand why they have been such a hit with teen girls and adult women. they allow for a nice little break from reality... and who doesn't want that?

    but back to the film. sure, it will never be as good as the book, but when are film adaptations? the CGI sucks, but that can be excused due to the low budget that the film was allotted. the acting wasn't the greatest, but maybe these young actors will improve with time... hopefully. then there is the added "scare" factor, which was just ridiculous. snarling vampires without fangs just seems silly to me. but the one thing that irk'd me the most was the way that the two most important scenes were so rushed. the first being the La Push beach scene between Bella and Jake. the second being the big "reveal" scene between Bella and Edward... it just does not flow the way it should.

    overall, it was an okay effort. like I said, I enjoyed parts of it. and judging by all of the TwiHards that attended the same show as me, Team Edward and Team Jacob tees on, books in hand and hearts all a flutter, this is going to be a huge success.

    Interview with a Vampire it is not... nevertheless, I still enjoyed this flick.

    good stuff. ♥

    I 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!

    I'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.

    Hate 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.

    I 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!

    it 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 ^^
