Reviews for Twilight
The genre has certainly come a long way from I Was a Teenage Werewolf.

A densely erotic, twisted take on teen screen romance and underage rebel lust. And while not exactly the sexually suggestive The Man Who Came For Dinner, Twilight zones out on a defiant inter-species dating fantasy, Close Encounters Of The Thirst Kind.

Twilight is pure fantasy, emphasis on the pure... it's a soft-focus reverie for girls who want to be Disney princesses and have their bad boys, too, as long as the bad boys are models of tormented self-restraint.

As lovers, these two are not convincing. They don't produce enough of a spark to set off gasoline vapor.

Una película mediocre para una novela mediocre.

Bella, a fairly unlikable young woman with a glum expression, has "put a smell" on Edward, a ruby red-lipped Nosferatu. It's a tedious stare-down. Bring a thermos of espresso. And an alarm clock.

I'm glad it wasn't that bad.

Twilight is a must see and a must for a sequel. Can anyone say New Moon 2010?

Hardwicke runs into trouble when it comes to actual business of the undead.

Dumbest vampire movie...ever.

Vampires and romance are nothing new, but Twilight gives them enough of a twist to make it interesting and the film delivers enough on that twist to make it far better than its outlying plot makes it sound.

I watched Twilight in a cinema full of young girls who, when they weren't texting friends and guzzling soft drinks, giggled, sighed and exhaled with a passion that was not only endearing, but a measure of its emotional truth.

A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery.
12/19/08
If you're a fan of the book, I'm so sorry.

In a film of this kind a great deal depends on the chemistry between the lead actors, and here Twilight falls especially short.
12/19/08
It's actually very well done, isn't it?
12/19/08
Some will find it all too polite, but compared to rival blockbuster exercises in explosive CGI mayhem, its character-based index of longing and protectiveness at least provides a viable alternative moodscape.
12/19/08
Not quite the solid grounding a major new franchise needs, but a stylish and enjoyable supernatural emo romance.
12/19/08
The two hormonal teenagers sizzle like sausages in a frying pan. The supernatural stunts don’t disappoint. Neither does the deadpan wit.
