Ten years after its release, Twilight stands as a powerful, darkly stylish depiction of teen female desire.

My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema.

A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set.
April 8, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 -
I've had mosquito bites that were more passionate than this undead, unrequited, and altogether unfun pseudo-romantic riff on Romeo and Juliet.

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.

The fact that it's not completely appalling is perhaps its greatest achievement.

It's critic proof.

Audience Reviews for Twilight

Nov 29, 2012With all the hype (and hate) around this film, it's difficult to view objectively, however I can see both why it's popular and why it's so hated. The performances are iffy, with some really awful and awkward to watch scenes, but at the same time there's teenage love and friendship that tries to hold it all together. The peril is very real which is a boost, but overall I'd say give it a miss unless vampires are your kind of thing.Sophie B Super Reviewer

Oct 29, 2012Yes. I am a man and I liked Twilight. Is it a masterpiece? Is this film original? No. Will I recommend this film to anyone? No. But is it a good pop corn film? Something you can leave your brain at home and have a good time watching? Yes. I don't feel this film deserves the following it has, nor do I feel it deserves any sequels. But it is worth seeing once. Just be sure to have a few beers in you first.Bryan D Super Reviewer

Apr 27, 2012Not as bad as I thought still pretty boring but some good bits, Not a must see, Don't know how the series has made so much money but they won't care.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Mar 29, 2012One of the worst films of all time, can compete with Transformers. And that's bad.Sylvester K Super Reviewer
