Description |
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)—a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.

The big-screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because she smells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks the part, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to Twilight fans most. --Ellen A. Kim
On the DVD
The special features for Twilight kick off with an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There's some mumbling and groaning from Stewart (one gets the impression that Stewart is quite similar to her reserved character in the film), some standard behind-the-scenes observations from Hardwicke, and a lot of awkward self-deprecating remarks from Pattinson (of their big kiss, he opines: "This is quite difficult 'cause I have a really flat head, and so it's quite difficult to get a correct angle."). What's funny is Pattinson stumping Hardwicke with some basic plot questions, like "Why doesn't James just kill [Bella when she's packing at her house]?" While Hardwicke and Stewart attempt to answer, Pattinson doesn't appear satisfied. The deleted and extended scenes include an additional dream-sequence kiss (rightly cut because it took away from the buildup to their first kiss) and more footage of Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre). The seven-part documentary is a pretty thorough look at the development of the film, including stunts, special effects, and the involvement of author Stephenie Meyer. Another featurette looks at the Comic-Con frenzy; however, it spends no time on how the actors were cast, which would have been fun for fans who did all their own mental casting while reading the books. Also included: three music videos and trailers. --Ellen A. Kim Twilight at Marketadvisory.com

I am sixty-three years old and this movie appealed to me on many different levels such as a parent -even though Edward is a vampire he is a very respectful vampire and the epitome of the human type every parent would want for their daughter. This movie appeals to me as once being a young girl who was once "unconditionally and irrevocably" in love. The Cullen family also appeal to my sense of family and protecting it. I especially loved the scene in the field where they played baseball and had to stand together against Laurent, James and Victoria. I own Twilight and I have read all four books. New Moon is pre-ordered and I will see Eclipse. I do hope they will make Breaking Dawn in two parts. Full attention must be given to Edward and Bella's wedding, honeymoon, birth of Renesmee and the confrontation between the Cullen family and the Volturi. |

Twilight (Two Disc Special Edition) |
|
I pre-ordered the 'Twilight: New Moon' DVD and also bought 'Twilight' (2 Disc Special Edition) at the same time. 'Twilight' arrived rather quickly. (The New Moon DVD will be sent later this month after it's release date). I really enjoyed the commentaries by Catherine Hardwicke, Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson on this Special Edition DVD, along with the special features section. |

really bad doesn't begin to describe it... |
|
please people this movie is not worth the gum at the bottom of your shoe please dont buy it because you might inspire them to create a third part this movie is so bad your going to want to gore your eyes out with a spoon. This is strictly for fans of the book. The love was lame, the action was awful, and the main characters were jokes if any of the other characters where the main characters it probably would have been ten times better. The only reason this movies so popular because everyone wanted it to be good but it wasnt and everyone is still living in their dream world. Dont buy this movie its the worst decision you could possible make...ever! |
