UPDATE Nov 24, 2009: For more Twilight fun, check out my list, You might be a Stephenie Meyer Vampire if.... Before I begin, two caveats: 1) SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers... all over the place. If you're a 13 year old girl and want to be surprised to find out the really pale super dreamy troubled teenager is actually a vampire... stop reading now. 2) I'm not a 13 year old girl, so I … more

Generally, I’m suspicious of popular trends in entertainment and I avoid exposing myself to any books or movies that I perceive to be conformist, populist, or over-hyped. Most of the time my instincts regarding pop culture are dead on, however there have been some notable exceptions (I was wrong about the Harry Potter novels, which were extremely well-written as well as being successful commercially). But I didn’t expect much when it came to the film adaptation of … more

Interviews with Vampires Trends in the entertainment world are something that we always watch closely. Everyone looks for what the next hottest fashion trend will be. We wait to see which A-list celebrity has a baby and what the new name trends will be. And then we patiently wait for the next greatest thing to come about that will clearly dominate all the markets. Well, the wait is over. The newest greatest thing since pizza bread has finally arrived and it is blowing all of its rivals clear out … more

i will say this: had i never read the book, i may have liked this movie. but to bad for summit entertainment, i did read the book and so did a WHOLE lot of other people. it was (or at least seemed to be) really low budget. aside from pattington, who had some notable acting experience, the rest of the acting was really bad. some of the minor supporting actors shined brighter than Bella's character as far as acting goes. and the vampire makeup effects were awful. it looked like baby powder mixed … more

The Twilight Books have become popular all on their own. They've made a huge dent in the literary world (albeit, for all the wrong reasons, but see my reviews for that). With becoming such mega huge bestsellers, it's no suprise that they opted for a film. And while my expectations for the film were low heading in, I'm sad to say that they couldn't even fulfill that. As I kept watching, my only real thought was... how much worse can it get? … more

More than any other movie released last Fall, I so wanted to hate Twilight & actually made a special point to avoid it at all costs. You might even ask what changed my mind or why I'd bothered going at all. Hell, why write a review for the film? Surprisingly, this was actually somewhat better than I thought & somehow I felt compelled to write up a small one for you guys. Hmm. Empty spot in my schedule, right? Ha! As anyone will tell you, Twilight has been the … more

Being a vampire lore enthusiast, I have seen a very good amount of vampire films. Of course, I would check out this vampire movie based on the best selling book by Stephen Meyer called "Twilight". Please understand that I have not read the book (yet) and obviously this type of movie would attract audiences based on the book's popularity and that this film does know its intended audience--teenage girls or hopeless romantics. I will try to be as objective as I can, I … more

It was okay. I think I liked the book better though I'm not really sure why.

I know this is uber popular but if you go beyond the mush, you get to the utter stupidity. Seriously, a vampire who's been a dr for many many many more years than most of us have lived and he doesn't think to check the blood level- umm yeah, I buy that. But a werewolf with no experience of pregnancy figures that one out. She has to drink the blood- sure, because there is no such thing as an iv I guess. … more

this movie almost killed the saga (movie version) for me! It is loosly based on the written version, the acting is bad, the make-up effects were worse. i had free tickets to this and still wanted a refund!

If I had to watch this film again I think I'd stab my eyes out and be happy doing so.

not the greatest movie i've ever seen but it had potential to be so much worse.

Vampires and humans have been falling in love with each other for years either one falls in love with the human so he can drink her blood whereas the girl is most likely under a trance and does not know of what she is doing. While those types of stories are interesting they only serve a purpose as a mere plot device to push along the real story of the vicious vampire trying to regain power or destroy as many humans as he can. Stephanie Meyers' "Twilight", … more

I think that what they did with the whole vampire/human thing and going through changes was unexpected, and that is what made it really good.

Twilight is another movie I had no intention of seeing but watched it anyway and actually ended up absorbed in the story. Not in love, not necessarily recommending it, but absorbed. I've not read the books. Not that I don't want to, I do. But I've been told that I'll need to set aside time because once I start I won't want to stop. I've seen a few vampire movies. As far as Twilight in the vampire department...the gore is minimal as is the horror. Its there, … more

For a vampire/werewolf movie without much action, I was pleasantly surprised by Twilight.

It was so amazing. They made it so interesting, and to me they really captured the relationship between bella and kristen beautifully! It was so awkward and cold but at the same time it was true love. There were times when you wanted to be a vampire and times when you were scared of them. You went back and forth between Jacob and Edward. It was a thriller but it was the romance going on. I think they did a really good job with all of it, and i hope New Moon is just as good!

Pros: Love the scenes of the Pacific Northwest. Cons: Slow in places; boring; not well acted at all; terrible script. The Bottom Line: Twilight is a mess and it shame that the target audience lacks the ability to discern the difference between real art and modernistic, amateur elephant paintings. Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot. Twilight (2008) Directed by: Catherine Hardwicke … 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 interesting but it is extremely let down by a bad script, under direction and bad acting from the entire cast. What could have been an amazing Gothic, fantasy romance instead turns out … more

Isabella Swan: "About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." Short Attention Span Summary (SASS): 1. Girl moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father 2. The weather sucks 3. So apparently do some of the inhabitants … more

The book was long, boring, and involved far too much of people doing nothing but staring at each other. The movie managed to put SOME action into it, and is fairly entertaining - absolutely worth watching if you're the type of person who likes girly romantic movies. If you're not that kind of person, this isn't for you. Most important thing to remember, this is NOT a vampire movie. It's a romance.
