Guys, there’s a good chance that the significant female in your life is going to be asking (dragging) you to see the Twilight movie this weekend. I know you’re dreading it with every fiber of your testosterone-laced being, so that’s why I’m here to tell you:
Don’t be afraid of Twilight - it’s actually not that bad.

I won’t have my Twilight review up until Friday but I can tell you this: I went in fully prepared to spend a couple of hours rolling my eyes up into my skull based on what I thought would be a majorly cheesy, made-for-TV-level movie.
And it surprised the heck out of me.
I was fortunate enough to have an audience full of members of TwilightMoms.com at the pre-screening. Why did this make me fortunate? Because I was fully prepared for two hours of shrieking, screaming pre-teen and teenage girls. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by a bit older crowd (nothing against teenage girls, but I had my fill of the mix of teen girls and Twilight at last July’s Comic-Con panel).
I’m here to tell you that while no cinematic work of art, I actually kind of enjoyed the movie for the most part. There were moments of unexpected and geniunely funny humor and I especially enjoyed the performance of Rob Pattinson as Edward Cullen, dreamy male vampire. Kristen Stewart held her own as Bella and I enjoyed many of the background characters as well.
Of course there were a few things I didn’t like, but I don’t want to say any more than that. What I do want to let you know is that if you are a guy, this most likely won’t be a total cringe-inducing experience that will require multiple beers to clear your manly psyche afterwards. 
Twilight opens this Friday, November 21st.

@ Tina: Yeah but what are you really thinking??
@Rev: If you must, grab the biggest soda an candy bar, then if the situation gets intolerable you gotta a good out. “But honey I had to go!…” I know its low gals, but some guys just can’t take it.
The old man, what do you mean, what am I really thinking about the movie or what am I reallything about something else???
The movie really wasnt so bad. I probably wouldn’t have gone to see it on my own but it was OK. My gf loved it and she was squealing like crazy. Something that she loves so much can’t be that bad. And it did have a little action at the end.
Oh my, Tina, the movie. Though, I think that ship has already took off..
O, no old man! You have it all wrong! The series is here to stay, unlike the harry potter, which was long over do to of lefted!!!
Yes but what you thought, you expressed in Vic’s review thread… Which you did before I got back to clarify what I meant. That’s why I said that ship sailed. You had already said what you thought, unless you have more you want to say here after more reflection? Have you seen it a second time? I’m thinking about taking my sister and niece to see it, though neither of them are aware of “Twilight.”
Yes, old man! I have seen the twilight movie for a second time and I will be seeing the twilight movie very soon for a third and fourth time. In total, I plan I seeing the twilight movie seven times. Seven is the magic number!!!
Anywho: The second time viewing the twilight movie was better only because of letting going of the finer detail between the books and the movie and because of the time differentice. Midnight movie vs. 4PM movie showing!!! I was mostlikely asleep and in shock when viewing the twilight movie during the midnight showing, but I was sure as h*** not asleep during the second time viewing of twilight!!!
Twilight is here to stay!!!
Sadly you are right Twilight is here to stay. Makes me want to cry, but it’s true we will be cursed with a sequal to this. I want to believe that the big opening was simply hardcore fans of the book and all the Tweens, but sadly there are just that many people that actually saw this film and wasn’t disgusted by how terrible it was. This film is essentially Titanic with vampires and strangely enough less depth.
True twilighter will see the books created into movie, even tho the movies end up not that great!!!
LOL. Well Tina if your willing to sit through it 7 times I guess my sister and niece can sit through it once. My niece has finally heard about it from her friends at school. So I guess its mandatory now…
It is not mandatory to see the twilight movie many of times, but the movie gets more intertaning than the first time!!!
