What Are YOUR Twilight Reviews?

I was disappointed too. They rushed it, cut too much out, everything was unintentionally funny because of how cheesy it was, the actors had no chemistry, everything was overdone; ex: Edward smelling Bella for the first time. And any vampire motion was almost laughable.. You take such a major success as a book, and let this loser-- Catherine Hardwicke -- turn it into a comedy?

1.5 stars out of 4.

Twilight's film adaptation was never meant to be huge. When the first set out making it, they probably were only going to release it in a few places. Yes, it did get a low budget so we must be sympathetic towards that. I wouldn't say the butchered it, actually I think they did a pretty good job. My friends who have never read the book were able to enjoy it just as much as I did. I hear a lot of complaining that "this part was cut out" and "I didn't see this part", my advice to those people is get over it. Films cannot exceed two hours on such a small budget. The acting I was very pleased with, I think Bella's classmates did the best job.

I personally thought Robert and Taylor would completely blow their roles but they did a decent job (I preferred Taylor over Robert but I may be a bit biased since I'm a huge Jacob fan). Kirsten did an all right job and the actors who played the "wild vampires" impressed me.

The special effects were cheesy and the blue was bit sickening sometimes but I understand why they made that decision; they wanted to keep the dark mood of the book without making it too dark. Good attempt but didn't really work for me.

Overall, this movie gets a B from me. It lacked in some parts but excelled in others. And compared to other book to film adaptations, this one clearly was better than many others I have seen.

Yes it could have been better. It was not as great as the book was but I found the movie to be entertaining, touching, plus cuz of the comical scenes - that were meant to be serious and dramatic. Lol, so there were some cheesy, awkward, and over-dramatic parts. The movie went by too fast with everything squished altogether, while the book drew out all the details. I still enjoyed the movie.

i saw it today, i mean it was OK, it wasnt HORRIBLE....but the acting was a bit over the top. Edward Cullen looked constipated half the time with his eyes bulging out of his sockets...and Bella overacted in the hospital scene, and u could totally tell that there was a camera in front of her, and any second the director would yell "CUT!" But both of the characters LOOK the part, theres no doubt about that. They also changed the story a bit, but its a 500 page book condensed into a movie, so that makes sense. If both of them toned down the acting a bit, i guess it would have been fine.

I totally completely agree with you. They messed it up, big time. Obviously they wouldn't be able to fit every little thing in there (though I would gladly watch a three hour movie that was closer to the book, lol). And the actors, oh my goodness. There were moments when the whole theatre started cracking up, and you could just tell it wasn't supposed to be funny. NOT a good sign.

i was disappointed. they deff could have done a better job...oh well, though. maybe new moon will be better...

its good yet i'm examining New Moon AND Son Of A Witch, (the super sequil of yet another super e book; The existence And cases Of The depraved Witch Of The West) and those books are no longer CRUD!

I loved it! The characters, the place they choose to shoot the movie was just great. But the reading does seem better, with more details.

DUN-DUN-DA-DUN-FAIL!!

sthu!!! it was so bangin!!!!!! i looooved it!!!
