All the Twilight Reviews You Need in One Place
Our brotha site HorrorYearbook.com is asking Twilight fans to defend their movie. They want you to join their message board and post your reviews and comments here, or e-mail them to WIL@horroryearbook.com.
The dumb asses broke their comments a long time ago, so I decided to make it easier for fans to just leave a comment here. If you like to leave an anonymous comment about the Twilight film you can do so below, and we'll share them with the horror fans over at HYB.
Meanwhile I collected a bunch of quotes from critics around the country via Rottentomatoes.com, tell us what you think.
"Twilight is silly and melodramatic and hard to dislike in much the same way as its target audience, with a distinctly teenage sense of tragedy."
-- TNR.com
" Not that Twilight's fate hangs on intelligibility. It hangs on fangs that aren't bared, and on a bloodlust that isn't indulged."
-- Wall Street Journal
"Twilight works as both love story and vampire story, thanks mainly to the performances of its principals."
-- Washington Post
"My advice: Focus on Pattinson and Stewart. They make you understand why the books sold 17 million copies."
-- Peter Travers Rolling Stone
"Gothic wooziness stifles many of Hardwicke’s lighter impulses, such as her knack for jiving humor in scenes among friends and family. And some of the more cartoonishly gymnastic CG stunts look plain silly."
-- Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle
"With its vapor-thin plot and goofy gimmicks (game of vampire baseball, anyone?), Twilight seems best left to its impressionable teenage fans."
-- Rafer Guzman Newsday
"Meyer is said to have been involved in the production of Twilight, but her novel was substantially more absorbing than the unintentionally funny and quickly forgettable film."
-- Claudia Puig USA Today
"Catherine Hardwicke's choppy direction plays all this much too seriously. The film lacks the clarity and cleverness that might have ameliorated the campier moments."
-- Nancy Churnin Dallas Morning News
"Sometimes sensitive and often silly."
-- Rick Groen Globe and Mail

I'm a 15 yr old grl and yes ive read most of the first book before i saw the movie and yes things were changed but it still totally blew me outa the water i loved twilight it was great. I've already seen it twice since its been out and i would see it again. For all you people who expect every detail of the book to be in it are crazy. Come on now its a movie use your imagination if they wouldve put every little detail in the movie it would take forever.Newaii i thaught it was a great movie and i would advise others to go see it.
i havent seen it yet, but by the sounds of these reveiws i dont know if I want 2. You know, the dude who plays Jacob iz H_O_T HOT... I might just go 2 c him! OOOLALA
Wow I think most of you are idiots! I'm 19 and I loved the movie just as much as all the books. Yes the movie was alot different than the book, but not in a bad way. They had to develope the story for people who have never read the book, and I think they did a great job of it. Even my boyfriend loved it. He is 18 and made fun of me the whole time I was reading those books. Needless to say he wasn't excited to go see the movie, but by the end he couldn't wait for the next one. He made me tell him exactly what happens in the second book. You know this isn't the first good movie that has been given a bad review by people who, I think, don't even know what they are talking about. The movie was great and everyone should go see it.
! ! ! Catherine Hardwicke is a HORRIBLE Director ! ! ! This was evident since the trailer. You could tell that she was trying to add more action where it wasn't necessary. The book was primarily about the growing love between Bella and Edward. This story was enough to encapsulate millions of readers. She didn't need to add to the story to make the movie appealing.
The film should have focused on the Love aspect and less about some Vampire chase sequence. I'm not saying that it wasn't pivotal to the storyline, because it was but not in the way she made it come across. That should have be used to re-enforce the connection between Bella & Edward, not as the main plot.
I'm truly sorry for Mrs.Meyer who was the one who got ripped off. A good Director could have turned Original story into something amazing!
Tip for Hardwicke: Camera Direction and Cuts should be motivated by Mood and Emotions not by what looks cool . . . Those tricks just comes off Amateur-ish!
I am a huge fan of the books. So much, i couldn't put them down and read them straight through. The movie was the complete oposite.
The movie was not a good interpertation of the book at all. I kept looking at my friend, with an expression of "Really. Did they just do that?"
I think I got my hopes up too much, so I decided to go see it again. I was still not impressed the second time, but it was better. I just have to keep reminding myself, this is just one interpetation.
I am so hoping the movies get better. And I have to keep in mind, the books are ALWAYS better than the movies. I look forward to seeing the second one, when they ruin that book....
ya watever they screwed up the movie but that doesnt mean we wont go and see it over and over again robert is too sexy and hot for his own good lol but poor guy really
I thought the movie was AWESOME. It was so awkward and unintentionally hilarious that I couldn't stop giggling, well, at least for the dialogue parts. About half way through, when the 'plot' kicked in, I started getting bored, because the effects and fights were a lot harder to laugh at than the dialogue.
...I mean, I about died when Bella mentioned that she doesn't like "Cold... wet things." GIVE IT UP EDWARD, SHE AIN'T NEVER GIVING YOU HEAD. :D There were many jewels like that, and they kept me much more entertained than reading the book.
I keep seeing fans complain that the movie was nothing like the book and that they'd done it all wrong, but... really, it was just about completely squared with what I envisioned in my head as I read the book... unintentional wallbangers, unnecessary awkwardness, and moments that made me shoot cherry coke out my nose and all. ("THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELLA!" *sparkles*) In fact, I think the movie was better than the book, because it was all the drama, romance, angst, action, and awkward funny, but without having to wade through Bella's point of view, which, while reading the books, made me want to embed glass in my temples. Also, in the movie, she was less of a bitch. Barely. And Edward was portrayed as the creepy sparkly hobo vampire that he is, and not the shiny pretty-boy the fans wish he were.
In all, I give the film a thumbs up, and the fans a giant raspberry.
THE MOVIE WAS AN EXTREME LET DOWN...
I am a 17yr old teenage girl and I went to see the movie last night. Before the movie my friends and I were VERY excited, I mean we didn't have t-shirts or anything but still. After we saw the movie we left EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. It was like Stephanie Meyer had no imput on the movie AT ALL.
The movie was rushed, silly, and everything was changed. The director made it too hollywood, she changed too much and completey ruined the Twilight Movie, it was ridulous. I mean if you hadn't read any of the books I think some might like it, but if you read them you were disapointed. And we weren't the only ones that felt that way, we talked we a lot of different people exsiting the theater and they had the same responses. None of the scenes were like they should have been, they changed the storyline, rushed it and left things out. All in all the movie was definately NOT as good as it was expeceted to be. So, if your a twilight fan and you still haven't seen the movie, well if you do go to see it be prepared for a BIG LET DOWN!
And excuse me? But what the hell was up with Bella in her underwear and bedroom during the first kiss?!?!? Totally not where or when the first kiss happened and she WAS NEVER in her underwear around him until "Breaking Dawn."
I personally think that if they are going to continue making "New Moon" and "Eclispe" they better get their act together OR get a different director. And also, get some of the actors, geezz, I don't know maybe some acting skills? Rob Pattison sounded retarded in the scene where he first saw her and he also looked like he was going to PUKE.
You guys need to get it the fuck TOGETHER.
6 or 7 [that's be generous] out of 10 for my friends and mine's rating.
Yeah I thought it was a complete bore, nothing but boring swooping camera shots, while depressing music played and no action or suspense.
I thought it was a steaming pile of shit!
I though it was a steaming pile of shit!
In my own opinion, I despise Twilight all together. But with the movie, here is what I think could have happened: I would have hated it, and not have been disappointed, or I could have seen it and liked it, and it would have been an enjoyable experience.
Not so.
Here's why I agree with you:
The camera angles were a piece of crap, making every conversation, however simple, seem like a high point or epic, moving section of the movie.
The only good actors were the secondary characters. I cheer profusely for Mike and Eric.
The music made me feel high. Not fitting at all.
Edward's sparkly scene made him look like he had leprosy. I was waiting for his nose to fall off at any moment.
The costume design/makeup artists were questionable. They made all the Native Americans look like savages, with long hair and disheveled clothes, lumbering about in the woods.
I would give this movie a two out of ten.
I for one was comletely and totally anxious and counting down for the movie. The previews made it out to be this on the edge of your seat, can't get enough love story. HOWEVER, being one of the first ten at the local theatre for the midnight showing, I was ready to fall asleep and was completely bored!
To start, the film has way too much chopped out of the book, to even make sense. If you don't read the book before going to see the film, then you would have no idea what's going on.
Next, Kristen Stewart, get some acting lessons please! The rapid blinking, and stuttering made me want to scream! I did not buy ANY of her lines. She looked like she was in agony, not in love! In the book, Bella is this plain, but cute, uncoordinated but mature 17 year old. In the movie, she was just uncoordinated, plain ugly, and while all her high school friends were busy trying to make her laugh she was busy trying not to!
Robert Pattinson, fit the description of Edward. And seemed twice as much into her as she was in to him.
Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie, was a far better actress in this movie, with only about 6 lines; than Kristen Stewart.
The fact that they didn't have Taylor Lautner, Jacob Black, in there hardly at all, was just ill thinking on their part. I realize that they didn't have a lot of money for this film but as a true Twilight fan, I was SO disappointed I wanted to cry. I would rather watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer with its fake fangs, red glowing eyes, and sloppy killing techniques; at least I bought the passion between Spike and Buffy!
His name was Pike in the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
In the TV SHOW his name was Spike...don't correct people if you don't know what they're talking about...
No, Pike was in the movie, he was Luke Perry dumbass!
And Twilight sucked nigger dick.
I myself loved it I took my 16yr old daughter and also a friend of mine went. We all agreed we loved the show. We all hope they keep the same actors for the sequal. My daughter and I have read the book but my friend hasn't and she said now wants to read the book also. She is not a reader so she wanted to see the movie first to see if she really wanted to read the book now she is ready for the book. We can't wait to see the sequal. I thought it was great I thought it kept close to the story line of the book and kept me interested through the whole film and I don't like going to the movies I usually sleep through them but not this one. I LOVED IT!!!!
That movie was bullshit, I wonder if the director even read the book! It was like almost nothing was related to the book, and the actors/actress's wore HORRIBLE! And ugly!
This was the WORST movie I have ever seen in my life! I wouldn't doubt that everyone who sees it comes out dumber. If you are having a hard time deciding between seeing twilight and committing suicide choose the later.
I am a 20 year old girl who has read every book and even the partial draft of Midnight Sun. I went to see the midnight showing of Twilight and I thought the movie was a good movie. I wish they could have included a little more of the details from the book, but for the most part I enjoyed the movie. Rob is amazingly gorgeous! And I believe the actors did a great job. I can't wait for the next movie to come out.
Yeah, Twilight does suck, But I totally love it! Rob Pattinson is excellent, and he looks SO adorable with His new haircut!!! And if your one of those fans who asked him to bite you, I would be totally effing scared for my safety as well!! And a natural precaution WOULD be to shave of all your hair!! Anyways I think the Kristen Stewart weed thing is total BS! You can smoke tobacco in a pipe as well!
The absolute best things about twilight were: Charlie, he totally made a perfect impression of MY idea of charlie!, Jacob, Taylor is just an excellent jake and if they change him for new moon i'll be PISSED!,
James, IS SO HOT! Its so to bad he's dead now! The baseball scene is SOOOOOOO PERFECT! And I love all of this BS from effing crazy Pattinson fans!!
PLEASE COMMENT!!!! thanks, ya freaks
