I finally caught up w/this flick on cable. As a female far outside the target audience (considerably older!) and never having read the book(s) I have to confess I loved this film. But w/an asterisk. First off, I highly doubt most males (heterosexual anyway) would be interested in this subject matter, so I wouldn’t expect them to enjoy it.
I was quite distracted by the greenish/grayish flat look to the movie. I understand the director wanted to set a gloomier scene more reflective of the Pacific NW, but it only made it rather depressing for me. Though I did love the baseball game.
Second, the character of Bella was not fleshed out much and I would have liked to have seen more animation from her. I found it laughable how wide the intellectual gap was between her and her peers. They appeared to be a bunch of “rubes” who acted about 12, and why would they welcome this stranger right away? Wasn’t realistic.
Would have liked to see the entire vampire element also expanded. What’s it like in their world other than they don’t eat or sleep and drink animal blood?
What made the film soar for me was Edward. Pattinson’s depiction of him was quite wonderful and remarkable considering from what I’ve seen of him in interviews he is a whole different guy.
What I suspect kept my attention and that of other females was the romance. Who wouldn’t want someone rare and strong to protect them, to fly away to the tops of trees, to love them unconditionally?
I will now view the next films and see how they compare.
As a film, it did lack in many areas. But Edward Cullen definitely carried it for me.

I think twilight sucks. Edward and belle fell in love in like what? The third scene? I understand that they can’t possibly film the whole content of the book but really, the movie just isn’t informative enough. I would rate the movie 6/10

I’ve read fanfictions with better plot structure. Dr Cullens adopting the vampire kids, and they all couple up? It just has INEXPERIENCED WRITER – SHORT CUT – DOLLAR STORE PLOT DEVICE written all over it. I’ve read similar plot devices from really bad fanfictions, and I think that the film was a bore. Insufferable; but my boyfriend and I just had to check it out before bashing it. As an amateur story writer, I think the development of the story lacks tension; there is no ‘edge of your seat’ moment; you know she ends up with Edward. The wolf guy is (in my opinion) probably a subconscious desire for the author to express how she would like to still be desirable despite the fact that she may be in a relationship; we all want to be that desirable, and having two hot guys lusting over you; why not? Wooden acting skills for Kristen what’shername, I think my cat has a wider range of expression.

Forwarning:This comment comes to you 11days after the new moom weekend release and I am sorry for that fact. Anywho, the new moon movie was so great and perfect that I had ended up watching the movie a total of three times during the new moon weekend release. That is saying something big, is it not?

I think I liked the first movie better than the second. I watched Twilight several times and seemed to like it better the more I watched it. I do think the movies are following pretty close with the books, but there is something missing. Although, I can not name what is missing. I thought New Moon was okay, but maybe if I watch it again, I might like it better. Of course, books are always going to be so much better. I think that Jacob and Alice are the best characters in the movies. Alice has been a strong character in both movies, but I think the character of Jacob got better in New Moon. I still look forward to seeing the last two movies.

Twilight and new moon was the biggest waste of 2 hours ever!! i watched the 1st and thought the 2nd must be far better with all this hype. teenagers will love it and any realist that knows anything about films know that its not any good at all. p.s i feel asleep in the cinema how bad is that!!

[...] Movie: Sucked. Low budget flick where the actors had no idea what they were doing or had ever heard of the book series before walking into the audition. Awful piece of filmography. However, Edward and Bella were brilliantly cast (in terms of physical portrayal of the characters). As I read the books, I imagined them acting it out, and they were great… in my head. Check out another review at Screen Rant [...]

I can’t wait to see New Moon tomorrow. Yeah, it looks like it is going to be awesome. I loved the books and the last movie. But, I have to say, it is just fantasy people……pure and simple entertainment. Let Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart live their own REAL life. Edward and Bella are characters. If Rob and Kristen want to date each other, then so be it, but if they do not want too, then let them live peaceful. Some people really need to learn to separate REAL life from fake fantasy!!!!

I my opinion andrea burning a book is disrespect, Brei, No problem. I won’t say a word about the midnight showing that I am going to of new moon and to the person who said that if you like twilight than your retard, well I have been called numbers of times retard, but I am not retard. So there!

Bril review, i agree with just about everything, for me the movie was just… dull… and boring… i agree with everything said here, and btw i’d burn the book just for the fun of burning something =D
it’s not ‘disrespect’, obviously the guy really hates it lol but whatever, you either love it or hate it, i personally, hate it. bleh. Great review.
