Twilight [2008] (DVD) Reviews

The release of the Twilight DVD had thousands of people rushing to the shops so that they could return home and indulge themselves in the enchanting world first created by Stephenie Meyer. The books had already been a massive success story so bringing the characters to life was always going to be a challenge as most readers already had ...  Read the complete review

It has taken me a while to get round to watching this film. We have had it on DVD but I just haven't been entirely motivated to watch it yet. The recent hype around follow up to this film, New Moon, has made me think I should finally watch Twilight. Twilight was originally out back in 2008. It seemed to start a trend in the resurgence ...  Read the complete review

Basic storyline: Bella moves in with her dad in a little town called Forks, and on her first day in school she sees the most beautiful group of people she has ever seen in her life: The Cullen family. She gets talking to Edward (after a few setbacks!) then starts to notice strange things happening. She clicks on quite soon that he is a vampire, ...  Read the complete review

A couple of friends reccommended that I read the book which this film is named after, and I reluctantly agreed, firm in my opinion that vampires and fantasy were a load of rubbish. However I was surprised to find myself utterly enthralled by the book and quickly rattled through the next 3 additions to the series. Now, as a teenage girl, I am ...  Read the complete review

Despite the somewhat cliché setup, this is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Its is beautifully shot (on a low budget might I add), very emotion evoking and to put it simply and down right cool film. Somehow the casting, costume and make up teams have managed to make every character look like a model. This is made more ...  Read the complete review

I know its almost too late to review this but i just finished watching it! Inspired by a novel of the same name,it stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as Bella and Edward respectively. I am sure everyone knows it is a love story where one of the principal character is a vampire. It is really tricky when a film is based on a novel ...  Read the complete review

Twighlight is a story all about the growth of a relationship between an average girl and a vampire with the action we like to see in any film threw in their as well. Twighlight for me was everything it promised to be. It obviously doesnt go into the relationship in as much detail as the book does however i feel the film gets the balance of ...  Read the complete review

Twilight fever truly hit everywhere last year and it is has continued throughout 2009 because the New Moon movie is coming out. Now Twilight was my favourite film of last year and when I first read the book I though there is no way a film can measure up. What I found was that the main girl character is slightly annoying but if you can get past ...  Read the complete review

Well, there's no point in going in to the basic plot. If you don't know that then where have you been for goodness sake. I already knew the plot, and that was after studiously ignoring the books and reviews of the movie. Admittedly I am a regular reader of Heat, so Twilight overload has been at times a little hard to avoid, with that ...  Read the complete review

Twilight, About ~~~~~~~~~ I went to see this movie in the cinema with my friends a while ago, as they said it was a brilliant movie to watch. When Bella lived with her mum and her step-dad in Phoenix, Bella decided to live with her father in rainy Forks for a while. When Bella sits next to Edward in biology ...  Read the complete review

Let me get this straight. I hate werewolves and vampires, I dont like Edward Cullen, I hate 'crazes' (Harry Potter, Hannah Montana, Lord of the Rings). Therefore for almost a year I have refrained from watching Twilight. Until Last Week. My girlfriend talked me in to watching it and I relented. Wow am I glad I did. It is one of the ...  Read the complete review

Having finally given in to peer pressure to read the books, I got hooked. Not so much in the I'm crazy-obsessed about it all hooked, but I really enjoyed each book and was eager to read the next one each time I finished. I saw the film a few days after finishing the first book. Very well cast main characters (though Charlie was ...  Read the complete review

Before I get into this review I'd just like to point out that I had not read any of the books from the Twilight series before watching this film, and I still haven't. This review is thus coming from someone who has no preconceptions about what the film should have been like, whether it lived up to it's expectations and so on... So, I ...  Read the complete review

Hello all I recently brought this film on DVD for just £4.99 from Play.com after my 12yr old son and 9 year old daughter kept nagging me to buy it! I have to say i wasnt really interested in the film as i didnt think it would be my type of film after not really liking "Buffy or Interview witha Vampire" but loving the 80's cult ...  Read the complete review

Expecting to slip into small town live in relative silence, she becomes the centre of attention as the new girl from the south. There are a small group, who Bella learns are all family, ...  Read the complete review

There are lots of reviews on here about the story so in summary: girl fancies boy; boy fancies girl ;small problem boy is vampire; bad vampires try to attack girl story ends happyish To be honest I had read the book and found it disappointing (see earlier review). But this as a film I found even weaker - at least with the ...  Read the complete review

I have just watched this film, having heard of the Twilight series, I haven't even read the books! I won't go too much into the plot but basically it is about a young high school girl -Bella (Kirsten Stewart) who moves from Arizona to a small, odd town to stay with her father. At school she's popular and makes a lot of friends but it's ...  Read the complete review

This film still goes down as one of the best films i have seen this year. I did not know what to expect as it got alot of hype, and normally over-hyped films turn out to be a disappointment when you watch them. But i could not fault this film. It had my full attention from start to finish. Twilight is a love story between a teenage girl and a ...  Read the complete review

OMG, i had never heard of this until my girlfriend pulled me to watch this, from the minute you felt tension to the minute you see the intense baseball match in a storm, i loved it, it then even made me go and buy the other 3 books in the series, maybe it was brain washing from the vampires weird abilities, or maybe it was the great plot , great ...  Read the complete review

Well, part of me is loathe to write a review about something that has already been well documented by others, but as I saw this film last night on DVD I thought I would give it a shot. I have never read or heard about the books, I think what I have heard is people discussing the movie (rave reviews). So, I watched the film with a ...  Read the complete review
