Twilight [2008] (DVD) Reviews

The film Twilight is based on the novel Twilight by the author Stephenie Meyer. The books where a huge success and as a result there was a lot of hype around the first film to her acclaimed novel. The Plot: Bella Swan moves in with her dad in the secluded town of Forks when her mum and mums partner go away to further his ...  Read the complete review

As much as the idea of falling in love with a vampire shouldn't appeal to anyone, it always seems to, doesn't it? From movies like Dracula and Interview With the Vampire, it's always been the same, and it's no different with Stephanie Meyer's screen adaption of the books she's made so poplular. As the 'vampire facts' seem blurred from ...  Read the complete review

Its easy to see why the twilight franchise is so immensely popular, and why girls worldwide have rekindled their faith in romance. I saw this film at the cinema, expecting it to be fairly average, and I'm definately not one to be interested in vampires and werewolves, but twilight managed to make it realistic, you believe that these people exist. ...  Read the complete review

A review of just the film, the region 2 DVD of Twilight was released in various versions in April 2009. When teenager Bella's mum hooks up with a new fella and goes off on a tour with him, she opts to move from the Arizona heat to the rather damper climes of Washington State, to stay with her father, a police sheriff. With a new home ...  Read the complete review

~ When you can live forever what do you live for? ~ This week has been a bit boring for me as it happened to be the week before pay day me and my flat mate decided to stay in and watch some films last night. Thankfully I had received two films through the post from Love film. Out of the two I had chosen to watch Twilight, ...  Read the complete review

This is such a great film but i'd say it was more of a girlie film. I think it's got all the great elements of a good chick flick and it leaves you feeling warm and happy inside. You find yourself also falling for this gorgeous vampire and wishing that life could actually be this exhilarating and romantic. I think Robert Pattinson does an ...  Read the complete review

Hmmm.... I still don't know what exactly to write about this one. I am a big fan of Stepahine Meyer and the Twilight books. Here is someone to finally give JK Rowling a run for her moneyand having read all the books first I was excited to see the movie. However, I for one was disappointed and like with the Harry Potter books-to-films the films do ...  Read the complete review

Personally, after reading the stephanie meyer books, i was looking forward to enjoying a really good production. And that is just what we got. Brilliant acting and inspirational storylines. The plot is very well thought out, with the best parts saved until last- as a good film should do. The storylines are somewhat unrealistic- but do ...  Read the complete review

I was particularly impressed by the acclaim that the Twilight movie got and was even more impressed when teenage boys who never touched a book before, started reading the Twilight series after having seen the film. I personally read the books first and then went on to watch the movie. I watched it once and hated it, it just could not compare to ...  Read the complete review

Effective romance film with action intertwined. I can't personally compared this film to the book but I believe that gave me a less bias opinion of the actual film. I found the music one of the best features and even went out to buy the soundtrack after seeing this film. The actors weren't the most effective workers of their roles, but ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, this is a DVD created after the success of books and the target audience is the same as the book - young teenaged girls. With the male lead being HOT in the eyes of young girls. This film is a vampire but do not be scared. It is not a horror. The pace of the film is actually quite SLOW. Forget about seeing blood as there ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this review as i am a huge fan of twilight, and have read all of the books in the series. I think that Stephanie Meyer has created a unique material and the books are real page turners. When i heard that the book Twilight was going to be realeased in the cinemas, i was extremely excited and could not wait. However after seeing it in ...  Read the complete review

First of all, let me say that I would never normally have watched this film: I would have written it off as being just for teenagers and too angsty for me etc. It was one of those 'dive into Blockbusters with your eyes shut and randomly pick something, anything' moments. Boy oh boy, am I glad I did, this is one of the best film ...  Read the complete review

I know that the Twilight series is a really big craze at the moment but I must confess - I found the film to be very disappointing. I hadn't heard of the book series because watching and was lured into watching it after being told that it was a horror movie. Big error. It's not even that I'm not into those type of films as I was a pretty big Buffy ...  Read the complete review

Personally, I have not read the novel that this film was based on and after seeing the film I don't think there is much point. I am not really into this type of movie as it is but though I would give it a go because it appeared to be decent movie. I was right to think it wouldn't be that good; mainly because the film is primarily aimed at teenage ...  Read the complete review

As if you don't know, Twilight is based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. I've not read the novels, but my impression has simply been that they're fairly slushy novels aimed at teenage girls, with a fair pretense of depth, but it is merely superficial. This is, at least, what I took away from watching the film, which is well ...  Read the complete review

I had seen all the hype about this film and had listened to the soundtrack at a friends house and even though I had the film on DVD I put off watching it for a few weeks. Oh my God what a mistake. The story falls around a young girl named Bella whose Mum has married a baseball player, not wanting to keep her mum away from her step dad ...  Read the complete review

I am really not sure I like this film... Kristen Stewart plays Bella Swan, who has just moved to Forks to stay with her Dad due to her mum going travelling with the new husband. At school she meets Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson and they are drawn to each other. Turns out though that he is a vampire, but a good ...  Read the complete review

Twilight is my favourite film ever! I got the books for christmas and had never heard of them before. I then went to see the film twice and fell in love with it, so i decided to read the books and now i have lost count how many times i have read them all. They are full of romance, action and discovering who you are. I think most of the family will ...  Read the complete review

I read all the books before seeing the film and to be honest I was a little disappointed with the film. I thought that Edward, Carlisle, Emmet and Alice were portrayed very well by the actors and the script. Unfortunately I wasn't keen on the actors who played Bella and Rosalie - these are the two characters who I like least in the book also so ...  Read the complete review
