    Enjoyed it

    I did not read the books but did enjoy the movie.

  • Oh No!

    If youre 13 and female THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU

    my girlfriend dragged me to this crapfest tooth and nail as punishment for something. the only good thing in the entire movie was the new volvo. calling this a vamp movie is like saying marley and me was a comedy. first off vampires arent glittery when the sun hits them... they catch fire duh. secondly vamps always get laid (i know "but in the book..." blah blah blah a real vamp gets tail the author is a tard) and whats up with the scene where they lay in the grass stareing at eachother for 5 minutes? for all the guys that had to watch this it would be a great time to balance the checkbook or bust out the ipod, or hell, shove a nail in your eye. all of those alternatives are more entertaining than this pile of dog dookie. this movie was DESIGNED for YOUNG GIRLS and no one else. the girl in the movie is attractive but theres not even a makeout scene so whats the point and the vamp is a friggin TOOL who apparently joind the abstanace program at school. this movie blows
    F: a total flop!

  • Oh No!

    AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

    I can't believe anyone could give this slow moving, teen horror let down a good rating. The story just drags on and on. The female lead says "I'm not afraid of you" so many times you just want to wring her little neck. The body glitter covered, piano playing, mind reading, tree climbing, vegitarian vampire idea is just ridiculous. My mother said, "This is two hours of torture." The most interesting part of th movie was when the foster family of vampires was playing a game of baseball in the woods. Yes, you read it right... a foster family of vampires playing baseball. You get so tired of the female lead being referred to as food that you start to wish to see her eaten just to get it over with and end the movie. What she says to her father when she decides to run away iis unforgivable... what a freak. I suggest you save your time and pick something else to watch.

    On screen, Twilight is repetitive and a tad sodden, too prosaic to really soar....

    On the whole, Twilight works as both love story and vampire story, thanks...
