Dec 17, 20114Good romance because of the chemistry, but due to its bad performances and dumb premise this should just be a comedy more than a drama/romance. This is the beginning of one of the most embarrassing franchises ever. I give this film a 42% of a good movie.
-
Oct 4, 20100I hated the book, and the movie was no better than the book. I wish this series never existed at all. A vampire that shines? Seriously? What has the world come to?
-
Aug 16, 20127The story is interesting, the script is good, but Kristen's performance is very poor and weak. The scenery is beautiful and use of colors is very well done.
-
Sep 27, 20100this movie sucks!!! there's nothing good about this movie. i don't know what the **** people like this dumb movie. Only little girls watch stupid movies like twilight
-
WinstonLApr 7, 200910Wow, I am impressed. Not only are the characters SUPER HOT, but there were some very suspenseful moments. This is a good transition for the book to the screen.
-
-
Nov 13, 20104If you loved the novels then you WON'T love this. Why because there are hardly any moments when the air isn't filled with an awkward feeling. In the novels the characters are very confident and likeable. In the film they are compromising and, well . . . stoned.

LilyXJul 30, 20093Nothing actually happens in this travesty of a film. Gothic romance? You wish! Only 15 yr old girls can find some interest in this boring, banal, undercooked crap with bad acting and laughable dialogues. Oh, at least I laughed out loud in certain points.

RyanNov 23, 20081I've read the entire Twilight series, and I have to say that the movie is terrible. That isn't to say the books are any better, but this is just atrocious. All I can say is: you know something is wrong when your audience is laughing in a gothic vampire romance movie.
-
-
RyanC.Jan 9, 20091This movie was HORRID. The layabout acting mixed in with a droll, played-out storyline makes for a completely wasted hour and a half. The only redeeming quality was the fight sequence, which didn't last more than 3 minutes.

SebastianCSep 30, 20091Bar none, one of the worst films ever made. I understand this is a teen flick, but the script is appalling, the acting is dreadful, the directing is terrible and the whole thing is just physically painful.
-
-
Jan 24, 20110God, this movie is awful The acting is horrendous, the dialouge is terrible, the characters are underdeveloped, the directing is lazy, and anything I forgot to mention sucks too.

Oct 13, 20100Do you enjoy deeply terrible movies with gaping plot holes, a horribly bland cast, an uninterresting premise and excruciatingly horrible writing? Then look no further than Twilight. Vampires shining has just earned Stephanie Meyer a place in hell. And the romance? Pah! Bella and Edward have as much chemistry as a rapist and his victim.
-
GabrielleG.Feb 10, 20090Well this whole thing sucks pretty hard. I mean how can this be a Vampire book. i mean seriously what kind of vampires glitter in the sun. everyone that reads this thinks they know vampires but they don't. most of them never even heard of interview with the vampire or even underworld. real vampires don;t fall in love they suduce people to get what they want.

-
AngelaHAug 10, 20090This is without a doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen.
-
-
Aug 3, 20116It's a decent back story, but the characters are all emo. It's quite annoying. It has potential, but it lacks the excitement needed. And the fact that the vampires sparkle? Seriously? No fangs? These AREN'T vampires... call them something else.
-
Oct 1, 20110Dumb & silly
-
May 22, 20123Bad acting, cheesy moments (super cheesy), lack of chemistry in love scenes and not having the true spirit of a true vampire is all I can say. You would not even classify this as a vampire movie because vampires in this movie are rarely drinking blood and rarely bites people. Overall, the film is boring and bad. They did redeem just a little bit in New Moon and Eclipse (from a score of 3 to 4).
-
Jul 20, 20110One of the worst films ever made. Without a shadow of a doubt. Not only is it dull, pretentious and boring, it has some very wooden acting and poor dialogue. It makes you cringe at the fact that four more installments are on their way...
-
Sep 9, 20110This was the most boring film ever i sat through. I wonder why they took "actors" for this "vampire-movie". A non bloodsucking vampire is as much a vampire as a potato. In a film with non bloodsucking potatoes they could have saved on the budget though.

Mar 2, 201210A really good movie, I read some of the twilight books, but this adaptation is great, the cast is very regular, but the most sorpresive for me is the love of Edward, I love Twilight.

kkwoodJan 7, 20099Pattison and Stewart were the best actors they could've gotton for the movie. Both gorgeous and perfect onscreen (with a few exceptions). For people like me who have read the books, stick to the books. the movie isnt nearly as amazing as stephanie meyers interpretation of it.
-
-
JenS.Feb 6, 200910love the books and the movie, even though it was changed so much. a true twilight fan will of course love it.
-
-
SierraAOct 9, 200910There is only one way to watch this movie: as a comedy. It's hilariously bad. Trying to watch it as anything but will give you headaches.
-
-
MaxGMar 10, 200910Most of you people rating this movie haven't even watched it.It was a good movie but I have to admit that the speacial effects were wack!It has a good and unique plot so for that its a perfect ten.
-
-
BriannaK.Mar 25, 20098I read the book many times, and I was the first person in my area to arive at the movies to see Twilight. It was an amazing movie. Although some information was left out, It was still great.

RayS.Apr 8, 20091This movie was almost painful to watch. I passion, what passion, and the characters were DULL DULL DULL. There was no chemistry only angst or depression. The only thing decent was the soundtrack that is why I gave it at 1 at least. So disappointing.
-
-
LawrenceTMay 5, 20091This movie was so boring. I hated it and the acting and the directing was lame. Bella asked the same damn question every three seconds. How did you save me? I will give this film a negative review.

JordanF.Nov 21, 20089Unexpectedly good.I think the caasting could've been a little better but overall a solid flick for just about anyone.
-
-
MNov 22, 20087Probably just for 15 y.o. girls. Very TV movie-esque with the acting, filming, long thoughtful stares, even the special effects. Hopefully will improve as the movies progress.
-
-
AdrianaS.Nov 27, 20082the movie quite frankly sucked! i wa expecting more... i mean the books r fantastic and then this movie flopped. But some how it is still making millions (which i do not understand) Too many scenes were changed and added. it went to slow and all they did was stare at each other.. no flirting or "i love you" moments like in the books. It sucked.
-
-
bootsaplentyNov 28, 20080Worse adaptation i have ever seen. i have read all the cheesy books and i love them but i really really almost cried when i saw this movie. this is by far the biggest literary heartbreak I've had.
-
-
RyxEDec 2, 20080Absolutely terrible. I do not know why this is so popular. I had to leave the theater in the middle of viewing because I couldn't take it anymore.
-
-
IsabellaSDec 2, 200810I almost cried watching this movie because i loved seeing the characters come to life. after reading all the books, watching the movie was the next best thing. I loved it. they didn't add all the scenes they shouldv have but it was good anyway. The movie is great.

HannahOct 30, 200910I love this film but i don't think it does the book justice. I don't think anyone else could play the parts of Bella and Edward any better than Kristen and Rob and the soundtrack is amazing!
-

BaroneJan 9, 20094Go watch "let the right one in" far far superior Vampire love story.
-
-
JadeEJan 9, 20099Definitely no longer a teen, but I absolutely loved this movie. One of the only ones I'd consider watching at the movies again, just because I enjoyed it so much! Giving a 9 because I'm completely biased, being a vampire-enamored female :) Also, leave the boyfriend at home... he's not going to enjoy it as much >.>

JayHMar 10, 20096What's all the fuss about?! It's a rather ordinary story, peppered with a few good special effects and a lot of way too pale skin. The performances are fair, good score and cinematography but it hardly has that "wow" factor.

DavidJApr 28, 20091Undoubtedly one of the single worst films ever made. With a thoroughly uninteresting plot and poorly developed characters, this is an insult to what was actually not a bad book. At least that had some good points. You could go and see this, or you could......well there are too many better thing to list.
-
-
KimBApr 4, 20095Movie in no way lives up to the book. Some scenes were semi-entertaining and what I had pictured while reading, but the story was choppy and not at all fluid. Didn't get a sense at all of why they felt so deeply so quickly as it wasn't even addressed or explained as it was in the book. This was just cheesy.

wesleymApr 4, 20090My I.Q. dropped from watching this pointless movie. Horrible story line and effects. This movie was no doubt the worst creation ever to curse this planet.

CarlyN.Nov 21, 20083I went with 9 of my friends to see the movie and none of us liked it. We came knowing it would be different from the book but didn't think it'd be that bad. The acting skills of the actors weren't that good, the music didn't fit the scenes, they mixed scenes from the book together....overall it was a big disappointment.

AngelinaM.Nov 21, 20087Like most movies made from books it dint follow the whole story line wich was dissapointing- they also really needed a bigger budget to bring the special effects more into play- otherwise I loved it simply because its "Twilight" the book moved me emotionally so the movie helped me see more visually- I have great hopes for the next movie to blow our socks off!
-
-
BrazR.Nov 22, 200810This movie surpassed Stephanie Meyer's vision of the intensive Love and devotion of the two main characters. I was enthralled by directors results in bringing this to life. I LOVED IT, LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AGAIN. From an 63 year old lady who enjoys romance in her life still!!!

PaulaD.Nov 22, 20083The movie will probably satisfy fans, but will not do much to attract those who have not yet read the book.

HeatherJacksonNov 24, 20082A lot of build up and a BIG let down!!! I have read all four books and I was really disappointed!!! The acting was terrible, there was no real connection between the two main characters(Edward and Bella). The almost love scene was cheesy and the makeup and special effects were awful. Don't waste the money for a ticket.
-
-
ShelleyWallaceNov 25, 20084I am a huge fan of all 4 books, I have read them over and over again. I went to see the movie at the midnight showing knowing that it would be different from the books and I can except that, but the movie was cheesy the acting was lame and the special effects really sucked. I also hated the fact that they had Bella meet Jacob before she met Edward. The time line was all wrong.

ECDec 11, 20082The only things that I felt was good in the movie, was the music and the laughs. Edward, Jasper, Alice, Bella and Jacob all looked.. wrong. The acting was okay at best and the scenes where the vampire used their 'superpowers' were horrible.
-
-
MegamDec 2, 200810Twilight was amazing!! I saw it six times so far from its first showing. It went along great with the book. Even though there was some add ins that were not in the book but i still loved it!!!

mfDec 2, 20084Given a 4 for funny dialogue. Rancid, badly-written movie for a rancid, badly-written book. Looking up the actors, especially the male lead, talking about their feelings on the film is a worthwhile time investment for bonus laughs.
-
-
JakeJ.Dec 25, 20081Well, it sucked. The only thing good about the movie was that it managed to be better than the book. Except, even this triumph was unintentional: the script is so awkward at points I ended up laughing out loud at the most random, inopportune times. If you are a teenaged girl, however, you will love the movie. Shame on you.
-
-
DorothyK.Dec 27, 20088Enjoyed this movie. Story-line was true to the book and edited out the teenage angst, The fight scenes could have been better.
-
-
MarisaPDec 30, 200810It's not a perfect movie. But it shows a great love that goes beyond the body. It's a deep and truly feeling of love. And we need that ilusion.We need love letters. The eyes show more than a kiss.
-
-
LyndseyWDec 5, 20086The movie was nothing like the book but i expected that.but i was pretty bad.the special effects were pretty sucky and some cheesy lines like something with the spidermonkey.that wasnt even in the book.even the acting was pretty horrible but i love robert pattinson.lol and there was a lot of important scenes missing and added ones to.i hope that they work a little harder on new moon!

63Twilight will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers. Their mothers know all too much about boys like this.
-
50A disappointingly anemic tale of forbidden love that should satiate the pre-converted but will bewilder and underwhelm viewers who haven't devoured Stephenie Meyer's bestselling juvie chick-lit franchise.
-
In the 17-million-copy land of "Twilight," the calling card isn't blood and fangs, but the exquisite, shimmering quiver of unconsummated first love. By that measure, the movie version gives really good swoon.
