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

Keep Wooden Stakes Handy When Approaching This Movie
Only barely post-pubescent girls can be excused for declaring this movie "good." Adults and the "Twilight Moms" that callously dare to sing this movies' praises are clearly just interested in Hollywood's latest male cheesecake and aren't objectively reviewing the film itself. The two main characters have the chemistry equivalent of rust, and the film itself the charisma of Ben Stein's character in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Between the choice of watching this writing-deficient offal again and committing suicide, I'd really have to think long and hard which I'd choose. Final review: 122 minutes of pure unadulterated suck punctuated by numerous periods of mind-numbing boredom. I've seen the previews to "New Moon" by the way, and, though I haven't seen it (and never will), judging from the previews, I'm pretty sure the filmmakers have outdone themselves with an even worse film. One wonders how that was even possible.
Twilight Review
Really liked the movie, the books are so much more detailed. Looking forward to the rest of the saga!
Fangs baby where the damn fangs?
They're vampires right? Where are the dang fangs? Not one, did I see. And why does Edward always look like he just finished off a cherry popsicle? This movie needed more stakes thru hearts and vampire stuff. I'd suggest renting Friday the 13th instead. More blood, more guts for your buck.

This product was shipped shortly after I ordered it.
It was in a great condition. The cover was slightly damaged, by a type of moisture...but the DVD works great!
Unlight Twilight
Like Harry Potter and "Eragon" and other such younger-reader literary phenomena, Stephanie Meyers' bestselling vampire romance "Twilight" has gotten the big-screen treatment.
Will its countless fans love it? Probably. Will the rest of the world love it? Ehhhhhhh... probably not.
Basically liking "Twilight" all depends on whether the idea of teenage vampire/mortal romances with no sex and lots of longing looks appeal to you. It's essentially a teenage fantasy about finding the Perfect Hot Immortal Coverboy Who Longs For You Alone, and as such, it's neither amazingly good nor hilariously bad -- just sort of blah and tedious.
On her first day at her new school, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is struck by the Cullen family -- and especially by the Hawt and Brooding Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Edward doesn't seem to like her much, but still saves her from a runaway car anyway."But what if I'm not the hero? What if I am the bad guy?" he asks. Of course Bella believes he could never be, because he's hot. Er, because she trusts him because he's hot. Umm... never mind.
Anyway, Bella eventually figures out that he's a vampire-- a "vegetarian vampire" with the power to read thoughts... except hers. Thanks to Bella's "heroin" smell, they enter a relationship... at which point, since the plot has had zero tension, three evil vampires enter the scene, intent on hunting Bella. The Cullens whisk her away to keep her safe from this trio -- but they have more than one way to find her.
The book "Twilight" is essentially the romantic-vampire fantasies of a teenage girl, so director Catherine Hardwicke and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg have to remove most of the sentimental drippiness and damselly distress. Hardwicke wrings a few pretty moments from the movie, but her skills seem to be stifled. You can only wring so much interest from "Meet the Vampire Family."
She paints the whole movie in dreary shades of misty grey and blue, and there are some visually lovely scenes. Too bad about the choppy, jerky fight scenes, appalling CGI, including a unintentionally silly "vampire baseball" scene, and oatmeal-bland dialogue ("This kind of stuff just doesn't exist!" "It does in my world"), and you don't exactly have a winner.
The biggest problem is the plot: it goes nowhere fast. "Twilight" is your basic teenage romance -- angst, whining and OMG-does-he-like-me-does-he-hate-me? -- except that the Hawt Guy is a vampire. The only obstacle to their Eternal Luv is that he can't make up his mind about whether to date her or not, and the only source of tension is Edward shying away from Bella's virginal neck. This is not terribly riveting as a story, especially since it's glaringly obvious whether they'll get together or not.
The talented Pattinson is undeniably a beautiful guy, and he has the bad boy thing down to a fine art. Unfortunately Edward doesn't call for much more -- Pattinson broods, smolders and stalks Bella as a sign of how he loves her. Stewart does a stiff job as the flat Bella Swan (whose main ambition in life seems to be eternal undeadhood with Eddie-boy), but it's hard to forget that that she's basically playing a self-insert for the masses.
Those who adore the works of Stephanie Meyer and dream of eternal love with an Immortal Hottie may find "Twilight" a delight, but it's no more than a thin, flat guilty pleasure at best.
