Twilight [2008] (DVD) Reviews

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

Well Twilight....myself i read the books before i sat myself down to watch the film... i personally thought that the story line is really good, the twists to the story is amazing never would of thought of it!! Twilight is a story where you would think that it is about a normal teenage romance but infact it is not which makes it more exciting to ...  Read the complete review

As 'The New Moon' plans to air in November of this year, and my kids at school are sneaking out their copies from the different stages of the Twilight Saga, it's about time I sat down and watched the movie. The problem for me is that so many films surfacing from the other side of the writers strike are being pushed as the best thing ...  Read the complete review

I had heard about the Twilight hype but never bought into it. My boyfriend bought me the DVD for my birthday and within 20 minutes I was officially in love with a fictional vampire. That is basically to say "give it a go"! I read the book after the film, probably the wrong way to do it, but the film was really like the book, the ...  Read the complete review

When my friend suggested that she got a wonderful book for me about vampires, I wasn't very impressed. I never really like movies, or books about this topic, but I have promised her that I would read it. I was surpriced when I read book in 3 days and I loved it. In time when I was reading it, I have heard about movie. At first I wanted to go to ...  Read the complete review

Having ended up liking the book more than I expected, I wasn't sure about the film... Plot For such a long book there is no way that you can expect every scene and every event to be included. There were several notable events missed out - such as Edward trapping Bella with the car while she was trying to get out of going to the ball. ...  Read the complete review

There has always been a romantic undertone within vampire films and this is a clear focus of concern in Twilight.

Although I enjoyed this film, there is a slightly lackluster feeling to it as you ...  Read the complete review

Having heard all the hype about both this adaptation and the book, I was quite curious to watch this film, based on the 'Twilight' series of books which have almost as large a following as the Harry Potter series. To be honest, I wasn't that keen on the books. Having expected an eloquently written love epic from the massive amounts of buzz, i was ...  Read the complete review
