When Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) moves to the small town of Forks to live with her father, she meets the mysterious and beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). The two grow close and become soulmates - but there's just one small problem: Edward is a 90-year-old vampire with irrepressible bloodthirsty urges. Can the couple's deep and passionate love overcome the frenzied vampires and werewolves that stand in their way - not to mention the disapproval of Bella's family and friends?

3 stars and I’m being kind. And that’s after some pressuring from my sister. Music video atmosphere, shining vampires playing basketball and driving a Volvo. Vampires on a diet. For God’s sake. The naive story that combines all kinds of clichés was actually the best thing about the whole of Twilight. Well, Kristen Stewart included. Goofy Patinsson (formerly aka Cedrick Diggory) managed to spoil every scene he appeared in. That guy simply can’t act. I am a bit surprised that I didn’t notice that back then in Harry Potter. Too bad. It’s survivable and I was bored only occasionally. Is it just me or are you also really looking forward to part two? ()
Some romantic seductions simply cannot be resisted. Fans of the Whedonverse can be hardly surprised by anything, and as a non-reader of the source material, I slowly started to get lost in the finale. However, the convenient dynamics in building tension, the irresistible Kristen Stewart, and the perfect trio of scenes (listening to Debussy, jumping onto a tree, playing the piano) decided that occasional subtle criticisms of logic are easily swallowed. Those who are romantically inclined will be in seventh heaven. After the second screening, a solid four-star rating. ()
Those who have read the book will be happy, they will get everything, they will say: "Yay", they'll love the characters right away. But those who haven't? Oh, it will be very hard to digest – I suppose. I was debating whether to give it 3 or 4 stars, but in the end it was 3. Why? It might sound a bit presumptuous, but it could have been made into a better movie, I could have done it... Yikes, a bit pretentious, I get it :-D But seriously, it just didn't leave anything in me, I was even bored in some parts and there was so much that could have been said! I just found it unfinished... At least I started listening to Linkin Park again, that's good :-) ()
I'm too old for this. I'm slowly becoming allergic to it because I read the book and saw that Pattinson works very well in various period dramas, Cam Gigandet impressed in Burlesque, and overall I don't feel like it's a franchise full of desperate people anymore - in short, it's just a franchise for little girls. ;) ()
I personally can't understand that it has such a low rating. I would have put money on the movie getting at least 80%. I don't think Twilight is playing at being some gritty vampire movie. The atmosphere alone suggests it's something else entirely. Fortunately, it has its die-hard fans, which is the reason why more episodes are being made. I proudly count myself among them! In my eyes, it's all about a great love story, interesting characters, and an original atmosphere. ()
