I love this series .the cast works great together. The characters are engaging. Even though its about vampires its not gross or gorry....its more like a love story....only with vampires. I enjoyed every movie in this set very much. Kristen Stewart. Was great and Robert Pattinson..perfect in those roles...he was like a body gaurd watching over her and living her .protecting her. Very nice seeing that portrayed.

I loved reading the Twilight novels! & when I heard they were going to make it into a movie, I was excited and bouncing off the walls. I couldn't wait to see the characters come to life. But I had my doubts - What if it doesn't turn out to be like how I had imagined it? What if they skipped a scene that I loved in the novel? And many other concerns that any Twi-hard fan would have. However, when sitting in that cinema with all those screaming girls, my doubts disappeared. The experience was like no other. The atmosphere was tense with anticipation. All the girls only wanted one thing, and that was Robert Pattinson. Needless to say, I love Robert Pattinson in this movie. He portrays Edward exactly how Stephanie Meyer intended. Brooding and mysterious, yet charming at the same time. He has that intense stare that makes you weak in the knees and that same stare can make you fear him - Like he wants you, though for all the wrong reasons. And Kristen Stewart plays Bella magnificently. She portrays selflessness in a way that is subtle and courageous, which she demonstrate towards the end of the movie. These two characters have great chemistry in the book and a lot of people say it comes to life in the movie. Though, I would have to disagree. While watching the movie, it felt like their relationship was being fast-forwarded. I wasn't convinced that they loved each other, until the last 5-10 minutes of the movie. This movie isn't just about the love between mortal and vampire. There are some pretty good action scenes too. There's a bit of flying, acrobatics and killing involved. Nothing too intense that will give you nightmares but just enough action that will make this movie great and worth seeing. So, if you're a fan of sci-fi or romance, this movie may be a great addition to your DVD collection. And if you're a Twi-hard fan, I don't need to explain why you should have a copy of your own.Read full review
There has not been a shortage for the craving of the general public to watch vampire movies. Twilight is one of those movies that seem to cater to the teenage and female group. I don't think this is a minus for the film, however, it seems very slow in places and makes you wonder why the director went in certain directions at the times he did. The Indian Wolf Subplot was a little hard to swallow as well. Bella and Edward, the two characters that fall in love, played by Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson, seem to be perfect for one another. This love brings itself forward and forces the characters to try and deal with the fact that Edward is a vampire and lives with a group of vampires. They all seem to get along with the out-cast human until things get a little hairy but the end turns out to resolve all those issues. I'll have to give this movie a 4/5 regardless, since it does a few interesting spots and is not overtly grotesque. IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO VOTE.

I have read the books, and the first thing I noticed was that the story wasn't about a plot line at all. It's about the characters and what's going on with them. Stephenie Meyer focuses on interaction, not on dialog, plot, or setting, which is fine. But it makes for a bad movie. Surprisingly, Twilight wasn't that bad of a film. I expected it to be much worse. As I said, there's very little plot or dialog in the book, so it's hard to make a convincing film. They had to over act looks to try and communicate without many words. I could probably count on one hand the lines in the movie. Other than the over acting, it wasn't bad. There were some very good moments and some very "eh" moments. But overall I would recommend it to Twilight fans. But if you see it in the theater, go during a time when all the little junior high and high school girls are in class; your eardrums will thank you for it. And I swear I lost ten IQ points just listening to them.Read full review
I bought this movie because I needed a fourth DVD in order to meet the requirements to get a discount. Generally, I do not like vampire flicks; I'm not sure why they just do not appeal to me. But I found this movie to be very enjoyable and it was actually the best of the four movies I bought. The idea of 'vegetarian' vampires is not new, but this presentation was very well done. All the aspects of these vampires presented 'held together'; there was none of the wishy/washy 'straying' from their principals which seem common for this sub-genre. Of particular interest was the developing relationship between the vampire and the non-vampire. No particular justification was given for how deeply they bonded, but then, love is pretty much not justifiable. The relationship was presented on the mental level rather than the physical, where it was much more enjoyable to experiance along with the characters. The movie spent most of its time on the relationship, with a sub-plot of 'regular' vampires feeding (on people) in the area. It could have been a better movie if the concentration on the relationships lasted throughout the movie. But, as is common these days, the last section of the movie developed into confrontation between the 'good' vampires and the 'bad' vampires. Although there were some decent action and special effects in this last section, some discrepancies snuck in. It was presented that each vampire has some 'power' such as mind reading or future seeing. Ok, I didn't have a problem with that. However, we have one vampire who's power is 'hunting'. Fine, it's not clear why this 'hunter' fixates on one particular person to hunt, but the possibility of this power is quite reasonable. In fact, since the vampires are presented as the 'ultimate predators', it would seem this should be an aspect of all vampires, not just this one. But if this power is in the same class as mind reading or seeing the future, how was the hunter so easily fooled at the start of the hunt? And if it was not a 'power', but just a skill, how was the hunter able to find the place the 'prey' came from some indeterminent, at least a few weeks, time back? Finally, the vampires are presented as immortals who can be killed. And not by some specific act like in the Highlander concept. Nitpicking aside, a very enjoyable movie, which I recommendRead full review
