Critic Reviews

  • Laremy Legel, Film.com

    My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema.

  • Manohla Dargis, New York Times

    A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set.

  • Ruth Hessey, MovieTime, ABC Radio National

    I succumbed to the palpable chemistry between the leads, and remembered my own girlish fantasies with something of a head-spinning rush.

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    I think this film is definitely a victim of it's own expectations.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    Unfortunately, it just didn't work.

    It's true, I never quite thought I would be writing a review for Twiight and yet I find myself drawn to Kirsten Stewart as a young Actress. In fairness to this film, it was much better than I had anticipated, with amazing colours that projected from the nature within the scenes,… More

    It's not cause I'm a man, it's cause this movie was just boring. More than A Game of Shadows, more than Underworld, more than... oh wait, at least it was better than that horribly boring Tomb Raider movie. I liked this movie, but it was only okay. The effects were… More
