Twilight [2008] (DVD) Reviews

Unless you've had your head in a hole over the last six months you would not have missed the hype of the Twilight series of books (written by "Mormon-Mom" Stephanie Meyers), and the resulting fervour that the Catherine Hardwick movie has stirred up. It was never going to be as good as the book (which film ever is? Jurassic Park, Harry ...  Read the complete review

Twilight is a nice, cosy film, however I can't help feel I've seen it before. The action centres around a hundred year old vampire in a young man's body who stereotypically falls in love with a human he does not want to infect. Then starts a three way love triangle between vampire, human and werewolf. The vampires in this movie are seen as ...  Read the complete review

As a huge fan of the book series by Stephenie Meyer, it was only a matter of time before I turned my attention to reviewing the movie... I actually read the novel of the same name before seeing the film so I had very high expectations for the result and whilst I was thoroughly entertained and pleased that the film stuck very closely to ...  Read the complete review

Twilight probably draws a collective sigh amongst males who are tired of their female friends/girlfriends becoming obsessed by this film and the books. This movie is basically made for teenage girls but as a 25 year old female I loved it. The bleak setting, the brooding protagonists and the forbidden love creates a fantastic tension which ...  Read the complete review

i insisted on reading the book for wilight before eeingthe film s that i could imagine what it would be like first and i must say the film did it justice. it is story about a family of vampires living in a town as normal people, they do not feed on humans but on animals in the woods but if they et a scent of a human that the like they have to have ...  Read the complete review

I read the book of Twilight (and the rest of the series...) as a result of all the fuss about the film, but didn't see the film until it came out on DVD. I adored the book, so desperately wanted to see the film! I pre-ordered the 2 disc special edition from Amazon, which never turned up, so I bought the same thing from HMV and got a refund from ...  Read the complete review

"About three things i was absolutely positive: first, edward was a vampire. second, there was a part of him - and i didnt know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. and third, i was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." Twilight - the film - tries very hard to recreate the feelings that all ...  Read the complete review

Well although this movie is not for everyone, I enjoyed it for the most part. Normally, I would expect a teenage love film to involve a lot more action, comedy or at least in depth characters, but the main character is plain in every sense, and her love interest is so mysterious that most of what he does makes no sense until you are halfway ...  Read the complete review

OK well to start the Movie is no where near as good as the book, and I know movies never are but I really wasnt that impressed. The casting of Bella in my view is very wrong, not what I imagined. I thought of a girl quite plain but with that something about her. I dont believe the girl that plays her has that something special. The ...  Read the complete review

I liked it! Not as good as the book, but what films are? The film does follow the book reasonably closely, though there are of course many sections of the book, not in the film, and a few story-line 'shortcuts'. That said however, this film is definitely worth a watch. The acting is good, and the storyline well covered. There are a few dips, ...  Read the complete review

The acting is surprisingly good - usually with teenage love films there really is absolutely no expectation for high qualities of acting. But Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart definitely make a handsome couple and their tragic love is quite well portrayed between the two of them. To start with, there is a tad too much build-up and some of the ...  Read the complete review

A brilliant and thrilling vampire story but with a twist. At first I was wary that it would be the stereotypical vampire movie - who hasn't seen these before? But this is written with a slightly different view. I did not know at first how this was going to end as it keeps you guessing from start to finish. The film also has an amazing ...  Read the complete review

After having read the book, and being thoroughly engrossed from page 1, I was intrigued to watch the film as soon as it came out. Twilight is based on the novel by Stephenie Meyers although I was slightly disappointed to find that chunks had been omitted and some parts changed. Isabella Swan, the lead female, moves to a small, rainy town to ...  Read the complete review

FILM REVIEW I read the book of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer a while ago and really enjoyed it, so since then, I have wanted to watch the film version. I ordered the two-disc DVD edition from Amazon for £12.98, as it was only £1 more than the single-disc version, but this one had two hours' worth of extras! I sat down to watch ...  Read the complete review

I will start this review with one simple statement... Twilight is the best vampire movie I have ever seen. It beats any 'Blade' movie, 'The Lost Boys' and even the fabulous 'Interview with a Vampire'. This crosses the borders of both teen flick with hard core vampire mayhem and does it all with no shortage or romance and lust. The story ...  Read the complete review
