FIRST LOOK

Wow. What a misogynist post. Earrings thrown at you? I'll see anything with Kristen Stewart in it, even though the make-up looks lame and has that whole vague homoerotic vibe of an Ambercrombie and Fitch store.

How disgusting, Kevin. Grow up a little.

Haha "How disgustin, Kevin." NERD. I haven't heard about the book or the author til' right now. I also refrain from watching MTV since they no longer show MUSIC on the MUSIC TELEVISION CHANNEL.

Well, it just goes to show that if you haven't educated yourself, you don't know what you're talking about. I know some college guys that are eating up these books (having to go to the store and buy the next one after they've read the first). Seems like you're being put into the category of 'Harry Potter is evil because my minister says so, and I know it's so, even though I haven't read the books'. Go educate yourself, man, so you don't sound so ignorant. The book ain't half-bad.

I've read and enjoyed all the books. While the story is accessible to and marketed towards teenage girls (and their mothers), it does not exclude anyone from enjoying it. My problem with your post is that you cast aspersions on the books and movie without any foreknowledge of the contents. The book actually does sound silly when you read the basic premise, but there is definitely something compelling in the telling. It's just really hard to take your article seriously when you start as a basic premise with, "I haven't read this series, but here is why it sucks." Your credibility is completely non-existent at that point.

I think you should read the book before you say anything bad about it.. How can you say bad things when you havn't even read the book?!? O.o

to clarify, I'm not casting some widespread judgment on the written material, per se. I've simply seen a lot of what the movie seemingly has to offer, considering the videos & vignettes & news out, and feel pretty comfortable in deciding this isn't my cup to tea (for the stated reasons). if you want to extend that to some opinion of the source material, well...there's nothing I can do about that. keep in mind, this is a movie site, as well, so my opinion rests within that realm.

If you really want to know what guys think of this, please go to twilightguy.com. He has an open mind about this and is actually trying to understand. Go see if it convinces you. And really--you should try to read this book. Edward is the new standard from which all the girls will be measuring their boyfriends with. It pays to know what makes Edward tick with the chicks.

The whole discussion going on in the comments remind me of that woman speaking ill of that video game (mass effect?) without having played it first. This movie, however, looks like emo-girly Harry Potter. It could of course turn out to be something outstanding, but there are some things you can judge from the cover of a book, and that is the target audience.

even as a girl i thought the premise of the books was stupid when i first heard it..i read and i really enjoyed...BUT i totally see where you're coming from..the movie does kind of look like and A&F commercial for the pastey haha ..i respect your opinion..and i too wonder where ARE all the guys ..we know they're here somewhere

Haha. I love the attention this movie is getting. I love the series, but I guess I don't understand why the guys are already in an uproar about how dumb and girly it's going to be. Typical male. Everyone may have their own opinion, but I promise you I will value it more so if you decide to read the books and then post how odd the fandom is for being obsessed. The book sat on my night stand for two months before I would read it. I was thinking how weird it was that a human would fall in love with a vampire. No thank you. But I really loved it. AND the books were not written focused on being YA novels. Since there was no sex in them, and the characters are teenagers it became YA. I encourage you to read it and write again. Perhaps you're opinion will not have chnaged at all, but at least then you can say "told ya so!" Right?

It's really funny how it changed from guy posts to mainly girl posts by the middle. I personally like all three of the books a lot and I'm looking forward to the 4th book and the Twilight movie as much as anyone else who loves them. You should give it a chance though because the movie's not supposed to be as gushy as the books; more fast-paced. And I know a lot of girls that don't like it, and a lot of girls that refuse to give it a chance, but really, it's your call.

I have to agree. We (the readers) are aware that this is, in fact, a movie site. But since most movies ARE judged by how closely they relate to the corresponding book (ex: HP, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, The Golden Compass, etc.), wouldn't you find it a bit more helpful to actually read the book before writing it off altogether? Makes you look just a tad less judgmental if you have every piece of the puzzle together. In your defense, I agree that the target audience is teenage girls. But the target audience for Harry Potter was probably (at the beginning) children, however, we've seen that many generations, genders, races, and whatnot have got something out of it in the long run, myself included. Keep in mind that it's no Harry Potter, but it's certainly not bad and there's something addictive about it. Just a little FAQ: I loaned my copy of it to my History Professor and he enjoyed it quite a bit. He went in with a certain mind-frame about the book and after he read it, he was asking me what the title of the sequel was and told me that it was different than he expected.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is like my FREAKING BIRTHDAY! It's AWESOME!

Also, isn't this a Anitha Blake rip-off?

dude, maybe I'm not girly enough, maybe I expect MORE from children's books, but I HATED Twilight. Yes, I read it. Oh I enjoyed it, for the same reason I enjoy Glitter. IT WAS AWFUL. I tried to count how many times Edward was alluded to as DANGEROUS and MYSTERIOUS. I lost track. and Bella? How stupid is this girl? "Ooooh look at that sexy really pale dead guy! Let me walk right into his fangs!" Not to mention the part where she wanders aimlessly in a large city, stumbles into the 'ghetto' and HAPPENS to find thugs who want to rape her? WTF? I had to laugh. Not to mention the fact that the girl can't take care of herself, and constantly needs to be rescued. Um, excuse me? What happened to girls WITH a clue. This is like Regency romances written for young girls, giving them unrealistic expectations. You want REAL YA books? You want girls who actually have COMMON SENSE and the ability to WALK without falling into the arms of their undead lover? Try a Tamora Pierce novel, or the vastly underrated Patricia C. Wrede.

So was there a hot rape scene or not? Or was there the standard knight in glittering armor moment we'd all expect?

Sounds like some kind of Care Bear vampires wrapped in a story of a helpless princess pining for the tall dark and handsome man her mother tells her she isn't allowed to be with. I can't wait to see/read this.

21 year guy here, and to be honest, they're as bad as they look. The books are horribly written, the "plot" is laughable, and the comparisons to Harry Potter are completely and utterly insulting to J.K. Rowling. My dislike for it has nothing to do with the presence of the romance itself; it's the fact that it's badly written, unconvincing romance unsuccessfully disguised as "edgy" teen fantasy that really gets me.

ummm....EXCUSE ME....! What do you think you're talking about...?!! you have no right to critique the twilight books or the movie when you haven't even read/watched it..... i have read twilight and the rest of the series and thing they are the best things i have read and think that the movie will be great aswell.... alot of people including GUYS have read these books and know what they are saying "the books are the best".....but you wouldn't because you haven't read them how about you make yourself useful and go read the books an then come back here and write something that isn't so pathetic the picture is awesome by the way...it just gets me more excited.....the "TWILIGHT" movie will be awesome! and as for you i think you're going to get more than just earrings thrown at you....

okay look i am a GUY and kind of think this book is quite cool so yeh! and man can't wait for the kickass movie it's gunna be cool as

Go here: twilightguy.com Also check out the Twilight lexicon and look at the 'newbie' boards for all the guys... there are more than you'd think.. They say why they like it... BUT... I will give you that I think this story is more appealing for women... It is a love story. BUT if you have go see a movie with a woman, i.e. a date, why not take her to an amazing love story that also has the action scenes, suspense, and blood lust that Twilight will offer? Won't both of you be happy?? Have you NEVER gone to see a movie with a woman before just because she wanted to see it? I guarentee we do it (yes I've seen my share of 'guy-flicks'), so I hope you offer it up to your significant other once in awhile... Oh and why not see what all the fuss is about and actually READ the book...pick it up and read it...or give it a try, the first 100 pages or so and see if you are even interested... Then write an article on what you thought. I guarentee we'd all be interested to hear it...

Wow, honestly, I feel sorry that some many people are inclined to quickly insult you on this article. What you said is very much the truth of things, by the way. Twilight's an extremely self-indulgent series, no one can deny that, it's like Fan-Fiction that had no typos and managed to get published. I do read the books and I am a fan, but barely, and only because this is admittedly my guilty pleasure. If it weren't for the Sci-Fi in it, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. The hype around it being "The Next Harry Potter" is also a load of bull, because if it was really good enough to knock JKR's work to one side, people wouldn't be constantly in the need to compare it. Rowling's is art that took years to complete into what it is, Meyer's looks like it was a day dream outcome of spending the night watching Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's totally understandable that the majority of fans are women as well, because hardly any men would want to know about how much Bella thinks her boyfriend Edward is oh-so cute. In fact, I had my fiance read the first book only so that when I get into these kind of rants, he can understand what on earth I'm talking about. I never expected him to honestly enjoy it, and I was right in thinking so. These books are good, but they're not that good.

Ok so Im not gonna load down your wall with a bunch of...OMG....or.....WTF?..cause Im 23 and well your ears are probably already bleeding from the high pitched squeals you can hear when you read these comments. I however have read the series and enjoyed the books greatly for the reasons why so many people disliked it...it is a unrealistic love affair, a romeo and juliet of the underworld love story. On that note my boyfriend also read the series and while it has not replaced his Maxim mag. on the nightstand he did like the books as well and is eager to see the movie. From what i have seen and read about the movie it seems as thought they are trying to have it appeal some to guys with stunt work, fast cars, and pretty girls (not to bad looking at Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, and Ashley Greene for 2 hours). Anyways, all i have to say is give the book and the movie a shot, if you go in thinking "this is gonna suck" whats the worst that could happen..you actually like it?

I understand the nausea that you must be experiencing due to all the sickly sweetness that's been appearing about the movie. But seriously, give it a shot you may find that you actually enjoy the books if not the movies (we all know how "well" often times books will be adapted into movies). And those Nomads you fear would disappear quickly might be around longer than you actually think, give it a try....maybe just not with your lunch, just in case.

Okay, I am not going to blast you for this post, it's your opinion! Yay freedom of speech. I'm just replying to the twentysomething guy comment... Check out http://www.twilightguy.com It's pretty good! Personally I can't wait for the movie release. I still love this site!

I'm a guy. I read the books and liked them. I am pumped for the movie b/c I think it's going to be better than the book( for a guy)... it's going to actually have some action. I don't want to judge the movie fully until I see the trailer but I like Catherine Hardwick as a director and think she is going to do a good job. I also like the fact that summit is doing it instead of some big name that would cheese it up more than it already is.

Congrats on the discovery on how to find girls on the Internet. You should be able to make lots of money doing just that. And I think the comments have once and for all proved what the target audience is.

Hi. I'm a girl and I have read the books. They are fun to read and the whole thing is just a giant romance story (with action once in a while). But it is NOT very original and it does NOT have a lot of point. I've seen at least three anime series with all of the same aspects; humans who love vampires. The whole premise is "Everyone wants a piece of Bella, oh noes! What is she to do?" It's like comparing Maggie Furey to Robin Hobb; Furey writes fantastically intricate and engaging stories, but they're just fluff and fun, Hobb writes intensely character motivated and humanly insightful novels. Kevin, I think you're right. Guys (mostly) won't be interested in this movie. It's like something that Disney would produce. The poster is serious eye candy. And does anyone else think that almost all of the fans of the books are rabidly defending their bible. A little too hysterical for me, thanks.

Dude you just brought a knife to a gun fight...Im a guy that read the books and actually enjoyed them. yea I got into it by yes a female telling me how good the books are. Also was warned that it is mainly directed towards female genre cause it is infact...from a females point of view. I took my chances and read the first book and i liked it...alot. Now im not as psyched up about the movie like my friend is but Im sure as hell goin to watch it. It looks like its gonna be pretty damn good. The books are very well written, and her helping with the movie is only gonnna make the movie that much better. My only concern about the movie getting this much publicity is that its being blown up to these great great expectations...which if you enjoy the books your gonna love the movie and it will be that good. But to the people that are just goin to see it they may not understand the concept and might not be as impressed as the rest of us going to watch it. Im gonna leave one more comment because im getting tired of typing about your ghey ass comments...Read the book before you decide to comment on something you know absolutely nothing about...and well you fail at life. My only hope is that they infact make it a 3 movie series like the books instead of trying to fit it all into one movie...gives the fans something to look forward to as being able to get into more detail and make it as close to the book as can be. Yet no movie has ever been as good as the book and thats mainly cause of the imagination factor. Im leaving now...go say hi to your gerbal for me... XD

I agree with this basa guy, read the books before YOU think you can actually make any type valid opinon about Twilight. You set yourself up for such a bashing >_<

Okay I've already commented but here I go again in response to your latest post.. for the movie: Don't need to join our fan club, but I still don't see what would turn you off to seeing a 'chick flick with action in it.' Doesn't that equal perfect date movie?? Then both you and your date are happy people! A lof of Twilight fanbase (and oh yes I am a rabid fan as well...just a rabid fan that is a bit older than a lot of the more vocal fans) is young and is very rash when they write comments back... you are entitled to your opinion. As for the book, we REALLY would like to see you give it a try and tell us what you think. I guarentee you we'd all come back and read your articles...

Kevin: "relax. it was a joke. but the statement has definitely proven correct given some of the discourse here." That's why you call a self-fulfilling prophecy, ain't it? Don't throw bait in the water if you don't expect fish to bite.

Wow...sorry you walked into this one, Kevin. For the record I'm with you. This looks like a CW drama that I'm going to avoid just to keep from having to bash it. I simply don't think I'm the target demographic. As for reading the source material, I have a VERY limited amount of free time between working two jobs, doing a weekly podcast, playing games, catching up on comics and reading the series that I actually enjoy (Dresden Files, in this case) on top of spending time with my wife. I simply don't have the time to start another series that I seriously doubt I'll finish the first chapter of, let alone like. If Twilight gets a bunch of good buzz from people I respect, I may take the time to watch it on DVD. I really think that Kevin would probably give it that same chance. Since this is a movie site that primarily caters to the film geek community, you really shouldn't be suprised that we'd rather read "Conversations with the Great Moviemakers of Hollywood's Golden Age: At the American Film Institue" than this series. I MAY give the movie a chance, like I did with Harry Potter. I still haven't read the books, but I've enjoyed the movies. It's a longshot (again, for me personally), but it's certainly possible that Twilight may end up the same way. Like Kevin said, though, if this is the way fans of this series act, I'm much more inclined to steer clear completely. Seriously, you'd think that Kevin had taken a wizz all over a Bible or something.

OK so here's MY question! If you haven't read the Book, and dont plan to read or see the movie... why do you even waste your time writing about how badly it will or does suck!? Seriously why waste your and MY time by writing negative stuff about it? If u dont want to see teh movie, DONT! dont waste your time telling people NOT to see or read the book series! REaD IT FIRTS and then JUDge it... OR DONT EVEN! Just dont waste a moment of your life tlking about something tht MILLIONS or more people are completely excited about. Was your purpose to have an angry MOB behind you?! cuz u've done an AMAZING JOB!!!! Gees what a waste of time uve made.

I'm not going to bite your head off because I can understand where you're coming from, but I agree with everyone else, you should read the books. I can't tell you if the movie is going to be worth it because I haven't seen it, but I'm personally excited about it. See the thing is, although I am a girl, I had no desire to read Twilight, or see the movie either. I thought they were only for young teenagers, and the fact that it was a vampire romance turned me off completely. Finally, a few weeks ago I picked up the first book and ended up reading all three in as many days. No, that doesn't mean you would like them or the movie. It is perfectly reasonable to say "That doesn't look like something I'd like" and you may even be right about that. But I do have to say the way you said that came off in a slightly offensive manner and that's coming from someone who hasn't been worshiping at the Twilight shrine for years. I do get that you were trying to be funny. And like I said, I get it. The premise sounds cheesy, the picture looks cheesy, and the fans seem way over the top not to mention everywhere. But there really are a lot of positives about the books (even some guys think so) and from everything I've read/seen the movie seems like it will be more than worth seeing. If you disagree, I 100% respect that but just like fans need to not respond to this article with "You don't like Twilight? Well, you suck!", not liking anything to do with Twilight (without having read the books, or obviously seen the movie) mostly because of how much OTHER people like it rubs people the wrong way. Hope this makes a little sense and doesn't annoy anyone further...

Its not the point that hes trying to bash a fanbase or movie or anything like that #65. He hasnt read the books so he has no leg to stand on for what type of movie its goin to be and how crappy he thinks its going to be. People are passionate about this set of books. Im sure someone pisses on your comics or your wife (hopefully your passionate about and or with her at the same time) your gonna get upset and defend what you care about. People care about the book and the movie. some one attacks it they are going to go in defense mode. same way someone does about a loved one in trouble. #68 you already took the time to comment to bitch about everyone's well bitching or w/e. your a idiot wrapped in a moron... oh and im pretty sure no one cares that you are reading everyone's posts for fucking spelling errors.

Im a HUGE Twilight Fan!!! This probably doesnt surprise you because im a 21 year old female. However, when my friend told me to read the books i looked at her in disgust. I read the first chapter and i was like youve got to be kidding me. i dont want to finish this book its so corny. But I forcd myself to keep reading, and i found that Its not bad. Im not one for Romance or chick flicks. I dont waste my money on going to see a movie with a happy ever after movie. I would rather see blood and guts and lots of fight scenes. I dont read happy, love story books either. I think they are tacky and stupid. Im a down to earth person and live in reality not fantasy. I dont believe in 'and they lived happily ever after THE END' But this book caught me by surprise. The thing is, even though its a romance story, its way more realistic... take out the vampires, and its just about dealing with loving someone and all the obstacles that you face. Its more about living life at 17, and going through puberty. It relates to girls because the main character is a girl and its her thoughts and feelings that your reading about. As for me i can read it and say, hey ive felt that, hey ive done that. Most 17 year old boys arnt going to care about that. I personally think the movie could go both ways. Dont get me wrong, im really excited but look at reality. Kristen Stewart, she is an awesome actress, yet alot of the movies she has done arnt that great. Can she act this part without coming across corny? Robert Pattinson is a hearthrob, but so was Josh Hartnett, and please name a recent movie that hes done which was good? And Catherine Hardwick... well ive seen a couple of her movies and they are ok, but nothing to scream over. Yet, she seems to have a really good handle on keeping the story line. And again, its a book turned to movie. That rarely ends well. Lord of the Rings was a great movie, and kept to the story line, but yet so different. And lets not forget the Harry Potter phenomenon. I would say that about 90% of the people that I have talked to say that the movies arnt as good as the books. But i have never read the books and I do like the movies. My POINT IS... I dont think saying at this early stage 'Its not my cup of Tea' without seeing anything substantial about he movie (the trailer isnt even out yet), and not reading the books, is Wise. My advise is take a look at the books, if you dont like them fair enough. there is nothing wrong with that. We all know what we do and dont like.My guy friends look at me like im nuts. But trust me, its not as corny as it looks. And the movie, well we will just have to wait and see. but I have a feeling it will be worth seeing. Its a rare thing when the Author is involved in every step along the way. Im interested to see the difference it makes. but again, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I would advise to look deeper into the subject before making a judgment. -J

i totally agree with #73!

Meant to say "You need to read the book before you judge it" as the first line.

I read just a few comments alongside with the article. I understand the author isn't' criticizing the books, though he does impale that the reason for that is because he thinks they're underneath his age (we're round the same age btw) and sex (where we differ). Never mind that, we're talking about the movie right? Which he also haven't seen because it's not done yet. Anyhow... why don't you wait for the movie to come out? There'll be quite a few wanna-be-different critiques who'll flame it then. You don't have to like the book, you don't have to like the movie, you don't have to like the number of fans they both have. (You don't have to underestimate fans and judge them either when we're at it) (By the way...good move! Your post already has round ten times more comments then your other posts and I guess the number will only grow. Actually, you made a pretty smart move with this critique... I must admit that.)

I think Twilight rocks, I must admit when I first heard about it I blew it off, because I heard it was a love story. But I eventually read it anyway and just couldn't stop reading it. Now I'm counting down the days until Breaking Dawn, and am pretty hyped about the movie. Granted there are some parts of the books that get a little too lovey dovey (sp) but it's manageable. So yeah I'm not ashamed to say that I think Twilight is one of the best books I've ever read.

I'm not a guy, but I'm married to one My husband is a man's man; 6'4", 200s, won't "dress up" for anything, "don't cry, or you're a sissy lala" kinda guy. He has just finished listening to "Twilight," "New Moon," and "Eclipse" for the second time on audiobook. (Maybe you should try listening to it. Seems that's what a lot of guys are doing) Now, he doesn't like that the action doesn't start until later in the book, he thinks Bella is dramatic, and that Edward is kind of gay. BUT he likes the story over all, and I think that is in part by the way Stephenie writes. She just writes a good damned story!! At first, my husband didn't understand the fandom either, but he just sorta says 'whatever' and goes about his life, LOL. Now, since this is about the movie, I think he will like the movie much better because there is obviously a lot more action in it that the book has. I won't repeat what is totally obvious (because everyone else seems to have done that already), but I will say that if you are the movie connoisseur that you say you are, you will see this movie. Only then, will I believe that you truly are into movies for the sake of what they are, not just whether you think you'll like them or not. I will watch a movie no matter what it is, if only to say that I at least give everything it's fair shake. If then i don't like it, at least I can say I tried to. As my father said to me a LONG time ago, "As long as you're not risking your life, try everything at least once." Now, you writing this article, that is risking your life more than a visit to the theater, huh? Of course, that's only until you shout how bad the movie sucked (if AFTER seeing it, that's what you still think) while walking out the theater door.... BTW, #74, I laughed my ass of reading that. GREAT ending to your comment

Okay, Twilight fans... I am one of you but some of you need to calm down. Seriously we can have discussions about this without swearing, insulting, and...yes spelling things very poorly. It makes us look bad. Please try and read some other comments before you jump down to the end and just start insulting and swearing and saying the same things over and over Not everyone is going to like the movie we are all so excited to see. We are angry because he hasn't read the books...I agree he should give it a chance so he'll know why there are so many rabid fans... but this is a movie site and he's expressing why he thinks this movie isn't for him. So instead of insulting maybe we should try and say why we think he should give it a chance... I have said it before, its a great date movie for him... action for him, romance for her... He doesn't have to LOVE it the way we do...

I like how he went to bashing and talking trash about the movie and all this to now he is gradually giving all of it "interest" and its props. kinda back peddling if you ask me now kevin... And everyone saying to calm down and talk this out civilized just reminds me of the puss, dick, and asshole conversation off of Team America... Im laughing right now lolz its funny to me XD

Im not from the US so I don’t watch MTV, so MTV has not affected the book or movie for me. Twilights not really talked about hear in Canada so people haven’t ruined it for me ether. I hate it when people talk about a movie so much that it totally destroys it when it comes out. But I like the books I’ve read them all. I don’t really like Bella but I like the vampires and werewolves. Emmett has to be my favoured character, same with Jake. The books are intense and funny I don’t see why people should dislike the books much. My girl friend actually got me reading the book. She loved it so much that she demanded I read it. I wasn’t all for it in the beginning but then the book became really interesting. So ya hope that helped.

Wow, amazing, a guy that read Twilight and actually liked it. Now here I can say I am actually shocked. Because most men wouldn't admit to something like that, due to fear of being shunned by their friends and such. Anyway, I read through quite a bit of the previous posts and such, and I can say this much. Twilight is a wonderful book series, I have read every book that is out so far, and I am looking forward very much to the release of Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun. For those of you that don't know, Midnight Sun is Twilight, but from Edward's point of view. As for the movie, no movie is as good as the book, that's just how it is, because they always have to leave things out. But if the movie is at least somewhat close, and they at least put the important things in the movie, then the movie will be a success and a big hit. And yes, I have watched every behind the scenes clip that is out and it has been said that they are leaning toward a bit more of an action/romance/horror genre with this movie to attract both men and women. The clip I saw involving the fight scene in the ballet studio looked great, which you can see here, http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/04/60435/index.html and here is also another behind the scenes clip from MTV http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585900&vid=226476

go to twilightguy.com it's a guy's blog about reading twilight with stories from other guy readers

The first time I heard about this movie was from FS and that is when I also heard that Kristen Stewart was going to be the lead. I'm a fan of hers so I had to find out what exactly all the hype was over, so I read all the books. They were pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to this movie 1) for Kristen Stewart, 2) i enjoy Vampire movies and 3) I also enjoy the occasional love story movie. I just hope I'll get to see it in Japan.

This movie looks to me like a sequel to "The Covenant" which was an awful teen vampires movie.

To the guy who said this>> "This movie looks to me like a sequel to "The Covenant" which was an awful teen vampires movie." HAHAHAHA,the convenant wasn't even a VAMPIRE MOVIE. idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiot indeed for watching that movie. I want my 10 dlls back!

@#102: This is a movie site about past, current and prospective movies. It is their JOB to anticipate how a movie might turn out. You say it's a waste to post something that he's never seen or read. The Love Guru won't come out until summer. No one I know has seen the movie or read the script, but it's pretty safe to say that it will turn out horrible. There aren't any Mike Myers fans on a crusade against any bad comments, so why the hell is everyone making such a stink out of this. You people make me embarrassed to be a Twilight fan!!

I love twilight but man some of you fans go all out. People are entitled to their opinions. I myself can’t wait for the movie I have read all the books and liked all of them; I thought new moon wasa little sad though. The books are mainly about Edward and Bella’s love for one another but there is a lot of intense drama/ action. And some of my guy friends actually like the books. Im dragging them along to go see the movie with me when it comes out.

Wait Victoria’s not at the prom in twilight. Unless they added that in. And what waterfall?

Ok, Twilight is DEFINITELY not the next Harry Potter; Harry Potter is a masterpiece while Twilight is a...typical teenage romance book with werewolves and vampires thrown in...quiet enjoyable, but that's it! 1. The writer of this article shoud get a little more informed, it seems that you're talking with nothing to support you. 2. Twilight's plot IS really silly, and almost no one outside the US knows what Twilight is, while I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know what Harry Potter is. 3. Twilight has a lot of potential, with better writing and a BETTER PLOT, it'd be awesome. I'm sorry but the plot is very "ok, I'm going to make a plot just because it'll be boring to read about Bella thinking how hot Edward is...voila!" 4. I enjoyed Twilight, I thought it was a bit forced at some points, but hey, I enjoyed it! 5. I'm actually quiet excited for the movie, it'll be a HIT in the US, but only there, believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

Okay, this really has gone too far. I do not think that Kevin should be forced to read the books or have any affiliation with the novels. He's giving his opinion on what he thinks about the movie which everyone has the right to do. He shouldn't have to read the books or even watch the movie! This is just one person's opinions and people can't go around trying to change everyone's opinions. This is a movie site and as a fan of Twilight, I will definitely go see it, no matter what. Jen #109: They did add extra scenes in the movie (hence Victoria at prom) & the waterfall is at the part where they go hiking to the meadow. #111: Twilight has been translated in over twenty languages & there is large following in Spain & Germany. Even Canada is already doing news coverage on Twilight (and the movie is still filming!). I think that it might not be big money makers like Harry Potter (and although I am a bigger Twilight than HP fan, I can admit that HP has a big following for it & is a far complex novel) but there is a pretty large following for Twilight outside the USA too. But Twilight is going to be a great movie & I bet you that once it hits the theaters, it will spread the word & become an even bigger international sensation. Just watch.

"Angelic Robert Pattinson even wrote the tune, "Bella's Lullaby," himself. I'm sorry, but there goes my lunch." Oh the lulz, they cannot be contained. I completely understand why this would be unappealing to guys. It's even funnier knowing how many fangirls wanted to shag him after learning that news. We'll just have to see how it turns out. Frankly, I'd be horrified if every guy liked Twilight. That's kind of messed up.

seriously dude. u havent even read this book so how can u freaking be against it? sure u probably heard really cheesy things about it but u shouldnt be slamming it before u even read it. & earring thrown at u? my girlfriend would probably do that... im not saying i like the book because i havent even read it yet. do i plan to? i dont know yet. but im going to see the movie just to watch people [vampires] kill eachother.

Well I'm a girl, I read the books, and quite frankly, enjoyed them very much. I don't think it's a kind of book that's the ultimate-best-writting-ever-masterpiece-for-eternity thingy, like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, but the plot it's quite interesting, and, I must add, very addictive. It's basically your average triangle love story, but with a couple of mystical beings thrown in. I know everyone already said this, but really it isn't nice to make a review of a book without reading it. It's exactly the sort of things that kids do. (- I don't like lasagna! - How do you know if you've never tried it? - It doesn't smell good!) It actually raises a bunch of deep moral issues, without falling in vulgarity. And it is not your average teenager book. I can assure you that. I can understand why this type of literature appeals for women better than men. But if you're going to bash it, at least make sure you do it AFTER you've read it. And yes, the lullaby situation. I myself found it quite adorable and think it adds a speacial touch to the movie, as well as feeling when the actor actually gets to play his own composition. But that's just me, apparently. Yes, I'm going to see the movie. And yes it was a GUY who first introduced me to Twilight. Greetings from Portugal. (and HURRAY for freedom of speech)

The book primarily caters to an audience of teenage girls, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing (not everything written for a teenage audience sucks horribly, you know), it does tend to predilect the novels to a certain amount of campy romance. It would be wise for people to stop comparing the novels to J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, and the recently popularized J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. They might be of the same genre (fantasy), but, that is the ONLY similarity that can be drawn between the three series. They didn't even cater to the same audiences. I've read the books- my little sister is enamored with them and I hear no end of praises on her end about them. However I do not care for them. Stilted prose and over-worked descriptive euphemisms tend to turn me off to a book rather quickly, and a needy protagonist that needs saving every five minutes is better left to the Harlequin Romances I pick up for my mom at the swap meet. But that's just my two cents.

I loved all the books that i have read so far. I cant wait till the next book, i'm in love with them

Kevin, a teaser trailer is out. I hope you watch it and do an update. Even if you still don't like it. It's interesting to hear what people think of it who are unfamiliar with the books. I hope the movie is good and does well but it's still really early and I can't get a feel on what non-readers will think of it. Thanks!

Wow. Kevin has gotten hell from just posting his opinion of THE MOVIE. Whether or not he aggravated you fans, whe wasn't trying to say that he didn't like it. He was just trying to express his opinion of the movie, NOT THE BOOK. I'm a guy and I came across the first book a while back. Did I finish reading it? No, I stopped after the first chapter. Didn't intrigue me one bit, and as some posters have said, the storyline itself is old, unoriginal, and just plain idiotic. The vampires being good (or in this case and some others, a love interest) storyline has been done to hell. I'd like to relive the good old days of vampires being the monstrous villains once again. Just my 2 cents, and this probably isn't going to be read.

While it's true the Twilight novels will never be true literary classics, they are utterly compelling, and impossible to set down. They truly are addictive, because they target directly at a concentrated mass of secret fantasies every girl in the world has ever had (and most guys, too) and hit dead-on, in a 500 page piece of another world to fall into. Everyone I know feels a deep connection to the SETTING and situation (not necessarily the characters) when they read the book, and it is like a drug for many people (I happen to be one). While the fans may go over-the-top on many issues (ie: t-shirts, fan-fictions, long road trips to meet the author and/or stalk the actors--it's actually happened) I can understand why. Sorry it's so lengthy. Just trying to explain it's appeal, and a little of the craziness of the fans. The movie looks like it will be excellent, if not perfect, though these promotional photos are kind of ugly and a little too "freaky". All the same, I'll be going to the show on the twelfth!

Wow, and you wonder why people are turned off to the subject matter. Those of you vehemently trying to defend or express why you enjoy the series are coming off as bad as the xbox /ps3 fanboys that troll other websites. You're pushing people away as opposed to opening their eyes to what you enjoy. Kevin was expressing why the MOVIE would not interest him (though at this juncture I realize the point is falling on deaf ears). Everyone has a right to their opinion don't flame him because his differs from yours.

I agree! THANK YOU! Twilight is so overrated, but everyone at my high school talks about it- CONSTANTLY. It drives me insane.

Oh My Edward.....Oh Edward No... Alright, I'm going to be the female Twilighter voice of reason. I am female. I like Twilight, I think it's a good STORY. The writing leaves something to be desired, but the characters are engaging and I ended up really CARING about Bella and Edward. It is hard to compress a 600 page book into a two hour movie and I think that it'll turn out well for what it'll be. I understand that guys wouldn't initially be very interested in the book because of it's chick-flicky appeal but I know many guys that have ended up loving the book as much as I do. There are many people who have gotten into the fandom; my fifteen and thirteen year old best friends for into this book as did my 47 year old mother, it appeals to many different sexes and age groups. Back to the movie...I would not judge a movie on a few pictures and it's target audience. Look at HP, it was targeted to kids and it has turned into a billion dollar franchise. The fandom I must admit, is a fickle one(as are most if not all fandoms!) When RPatz (Robert Pattinson) was cast, there was an uproar of 'NUUUU! HAAAAATE!'but as time has passed, it has settled. The fandom will also cover its back when faced with adversity, but unfortunately in this case, it was with flames and 'U DON'T KNOW! REED DA BOOKS!' It would be better if someone who has read the book and had a passion for it wrote the articles but we can live without it. As a final note: To the fans: Shut up and chill for a sec To the haters: calm down and it's fine if you've red the books and don't like them. NOT FINE if you proclaim your hatred out of the gate with nothing to base it on. Oh and go to http://www.twilightguy.com He gives an open and honest opinion about his experiences reading and trying to understand the book.

Okay, some of the people posting on this article are getting out of hand. There is no need to put Kevin down, girl and guys. People who didn't like the book, there is no reason to put it or the fans down. I am a girl who has read Twilight and loves it just as much as every other fan. I don't agree with the author of this article (I'm a Jacob fan, myself), but he is entitled to state his own opinion, just as you are. If you really want people to listen to you, speak like you have a brain. Example of what NOT to do: "OMG!! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT YOU NOOB??! I HATE YOU! POOPFACE!!" or "OMG!! I HATE THAT BOOK!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WASTED PRECIOUS TREES ON THE SCRIPT!!" If you hate the book, don't rant about it. DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE. Everyone else, take a breath. -Kerri.

Umm, there have been like, 137 comments before this, but can I just say something that's probably been repeated OVER and OVER again? I repeat it because I think that we need to drill it into your head. Don't judge the fucking book by its fucking cover. This doesn't apply to JUST Twilight.

he can judge a book by its cover if he wants to.

Just to point out to all of the people that are saying "Kevin was only dissing the movie", he wasn't. He said that based on what he's seen from the movie, he would never want to read the book.

#146: Did you not just read his comment? Are you really that ignorant?

Well I'll simply say I'm a Potter fan and well since that is over as far as books I have started reading these and I do enjoy them. A lot of my friends read them too (guys too) and we're all pretty psyched about the movie. I think it's pretty cool but I'm a geek so what does my opinion matter XD

funny how this a was a movie review, not a book review.......

I don't know who you think you are, but you have no damn right saying that about this movie when you don't know any freaking thing about it. So maybe before you right an article and try to critize one of the most loved books-and MOVIE- in America..IT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN! THANK YOU!

First of all I don't freaking care if this is or isn't a movie sight. The whole movie is basically based on the book. And if he hasn't read them yet he has no right to say that crap about the movie or books. And just because us "Twilight Fans" are telling you off and making you mad you shouldn't just decide not to read them because you get angry. That's Just Retarded. And I don't know what #154 is reading, but it looks like she is the one who doesn't know what good literature and fun reading is. WOW.

Okay Kevin, Wow you really know how to start something to piss off a whole lot of people. LOL I actually read all the posts and have to say if the level of intelligents indicated by these post many of these poeple must be young teens, or at least we can hope. I would like to reiterate what you said, this is a movie site and to #155. Do you have any idea how many movies are based off books? You should do some research then cause you will find a startling amout (excuse my spelling I am being lazy tonight) are. Out of that how many general public movie goers do you think actually run out and buy the book. I can name at least 20 that saw Lord of the Rings (hard read so don't blame them) Lion the witch and the wardrobe, or how about Harry Potter without reading the books. Kevins oppinions are sound from the information provided by the studio it is unlikely that many guys are going to want to see this movie as it stands. Yes the book may be good (I too have no interest in either) and if some guys have read it then yes they most likely would see the movie. But I agian state that this is a movie sight and rarely does hollywood do anything good when translating into a movie the book is always better. So remember that before making "retarded posts"

Well, Nettle and Christopher, for your information I have read Eragon, The Chronicles of Narnia(Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), Lord of the Rings and all of Harry Potter. And believe it or not I have watched all the movies. And they were pretty cool. Maybe Twilight is not your f***ing style, so deal with it. There may be some people out there who consider it there bible which is gay, but I don't, I just really enjoyed reading it. As for the angry mob of fans, maybe you should take a look at all the Harry Potter geeks out there (no offense, most of my friends are) before you judge Twilight fans. And if you like your Shakespeare, then you can take Macbeth and shove it up your a**!!!

Congratulations Sara and your continued 4th grade attitude-expletive laced posts. Not only do you reveal your true maturity level, but you continue to remind my why I am now ashamed to publicly admit I enjoyed the Twilight novels. Nettle and Christopher have made valid points and all you continue to do is perpetuate the intolerance that is continuing in this discussion. Thanks for the information once again Kevin and trying to keep this discussion on track. Memento Mori

"27 and a half"....Who after the age of 12 uses halves?

Sara, Of course he has the right to dis the movie, as do any of us. The premise of the movie seems with out any self thought and truly unoriginal. This movie is intended for one thing to get young girls into the theater. And from the shear magnitude of the Posts here from young girls I would say it is working. Kevins opinions are based on the way too much promotional crap that MTV is spurting out to entice and brainwash the millions of young viewers that will simply go to the movie like Lemmings. (maybe they could add that in the next video game. Lemmings vs Twilight...)

Yay CJ And as embarrassed as I have been with the Twilight fans on this site who seem to not realize this isn't a phone text message conversation and you CAN actually type out entire words.. I have to defend a tinsy bit... Post #165 (Christopher) says: "...way too much promotional crap that MTV is spurting out to entice and brainwash the millions of young viewers that will simply go to the movie like Lemmings." MTV stated the reason they started 'Twilight Tuesdays' is because of one of their reporters who insisted on doing a small story on it.. then they had OVERWHELMING resonse that kind of shocked them. So they dug in and did more, and you can see that each and every one of their articles/pictures/videos are highly viewed... But having said that... I think the response was based on the built-in fan base. I don't know if many non-Twilight fans go check out articles on some movie that doesn't come out until December... so I don't know how many 'lemmings' they are going to 'brain-wash' into going to the movie. So even if our fanbase does include a lot of young, rash, 'rabid' women, I don't think you should underestimate the force behind the movie... even if you don't understand it. If it's hugely successful and popular, it doesn't mean that people were brain-washed. It's possible that it just means it's a great story and we are excited to see it come to life

THANK YOU MELISSA!! THAT'S EXACTLY MY POINT..HOPEFULLY SOME PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND YOU BETTER.

Sara, Sorry not really getting were you think I hate Harry Potter, I actaully loved the books, however the movies for the most part are what sucked yet I will still see them to find out if they can actually grasp the heart of the books. What Kevin Nettle and myself are simply saying is that the question was from the promotional material is any GUY interested in seeing this movie, since Kevin is a Guy he has formed an educated opinion based off what he has seen and read (as have I) and we simply have no interest in this MOVIE whatsoever. My comments earler are to that effect that you do not have to read the book before making a judgment on an upcomming movie. Wether or not that is our loss then it is our loss for not seeing it. However I am not going to spend the money to go see a movie that really does not reach out to me personaly whatsoever, and having people get mad and personally insulting is what I find rather poor. However your arguments Sara to your personal credit (albeit I dissagree with them) have been well informed and intelligent. However I can not say that about many of the other posts in here.

Listen, I see that a lot of posts are complaining that the article says that the book is bad. Regardless of how good the book is, the movie could still suck. All I'm saying is just wait for the trailer.

I am so friggen surprised how long this thing dragged on...Sorry @ Kevin who facedd the wrath of the Twi-hards. I can see you were merely expressing your opinion, but, yeah some of us are pretty defensive over the series XD http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/opinions/in-which-an-adult-male-reads-twilight.php This is a dude in his mid-twenties who wrote this. It is a hillarious article about Twilight and I think that any guy would like to see something about "Twilight" from a guys point o' view. :]

# 13 and #143 I love how he says he's seen "a lot of what the movie's about"---and there's only been this one tiny teaser trailer. What "more" have you seen that has determined your course of action for you regarding this movie?

We read this book in my English class, and I never got to finnish it, but I can tell you this. 1) The cover picture was kick ass. 2) But the summary on the back made it sound corny. 3) When I actually read it, I was blown away. I couldn't help (along with just about all the rest of the people in my class) but admit that it was brilliantly written. 4) I also can't help but admit that the picture here and the text in it looks like a cheesy mix between Harry Potter (nothing against Harry Potter) and Peter Pan. 5) I'm not sure how the movie is going to turn out, but I'm going to go see it even if I find out the critics hated it. I like to form my own opinion on things. 6) At least TRY to read the book, even if you honestly believe you will hate it with a passion. Then you can at least say, "Yeah, I read it. I have a reason to think it sucks." Then no one can b**** at you. That's my opinion and advice. Thanks for reading. Shawna

kev, we have different opinions and i know that but please ponder on this, "don't judge the book by it's cover" i know you haven't read it. and yeah read whatever kerri said.

I am 21, a guy, and I do not care for the book. Do not assume for a moment that I am biased against romance in fantasy, I love the romance in Terry Goodkind's Epic fantasy series, The sword of Truth. I have never read another story with such a believable love story. The problem for must us "haters" is that twilight is overly promoted as something it really isn't. It does have some action, but not enough for most male readers. Call it "Typical Male" if you want, but we like more action, more epic battles. News flash, men and women are different. I can say "typical women" right back at you. It is a great book targeted at teenage girls, that is a fact. Men can read it, men can like it, but little girls are the audience. In reference to Harry Potter, I do not think it is fair to compare the two, for either author. They both write equally well, just with a different approach. Harry potter appealed to a broader audience while twilight appeals stronger to a more specific one. Who really cares? Nobody. You like it or you don't. I try not to bash it because it is obviously is a success, Props to Stephanie for scooping up some of the lost audience from harry potter, giving them a reason to keep reading. Literacy is on the rise with younger people and that is due in part to J.K, and Stephanie has successfully continued that. Jasmine is right, don't make fun of people that like it, i am sure you read something that other people don't like. Or if you haven't, you might not read enough which is doubly sad.

OMG, does there always have to be ethnic diversity? In the movie there are characters that are of different ethnicity, if you look it up; however, they are your average Americans.

I really don't like the look of the cast here. It might just be the combination of makeup an lighting, but still, they don't look beautiful and gorgeous like they're supposed too. I think the only person who seams like the character in the books; or should I say, LOOKS like the character in the looks is Alice. That's just my opinion. And who is the guy on the far right? Jasper? Because he certainly isn't how I'd have pictured him. I ope Carlisle, Esme and Jacob all look better than the rest of the cast, otherwise it might be a bit of a let down for me (maybe a reason making a book like Twilight isn't such a great idea. We all have ideas of what the characters look like, and many will be disappointed with the people casted)

I'm a guy and have actually read the books. I'm one to read anything with a vampire in it, and so i dived in. The story was just as tactless at it sounds. The back flap summery is enough because anyone with basic knowledge of a tastless teenage romance could connect the dots of the story. Sure, Meyer's had some decent ideas, as I did like her modern update of a vampire's lifestyle, but her main character, Isabella, was the worst heroine since Legally Blonde. It suffices to say that Kevin is correct in his prejudgement, as I've said before, because the back flap summery is enough to reveal the entire story.

Wow. It's incredible how defensive fans have been. Not sure what's so threatening about saying a certain film is outside one's range of interest. In my case my wife recently read the series to see what the hype was all about. I got from her that Edward is really sexy and she enjoyed the series a lot. Now I read all the time, and I got a pretty good feel for what to expect from the books but I have not had a desire to read them. It's not that I think they are inferior or beneath me, I'm just not interested. So there you go Kevin, you're not alone. I might get dragged to the movie (or my wife might take some girlfriends) but you can guarantee I won't be seeing it on my own and especially not with my brother when we go out. But that's ok for the filmmakers and the fans. The film will make (apparently based on the fan rabidity) a lot of money and the fans will get their movie. For those insulted by hearing Twilight is outside my demographic, don't be. My little pony is out of my demographic too, along with most horror movies. Nothing wrong with media being aimed at different audiences.

Well, I read the first page of the Twilight and had to stop because I found it to be laughably horrible. Really, it contained some of the most unnaturally written narration ever, which wouldn't be too horrible except that it was in FIRST PERSON! NOBODY THINKS IN LURID PROSE! NOBODY! Anyways, I do like vampires and supernaturaly things (and Robert Pattinson...mmmm), so I'll probably see the movie. Hopefully I'll find it enjoyable, even if I end up just laughing at it the whole time and marveling about how Bella and Edward's relationship is ridiculously unhealthy and Stockholm Syndrome-esque. Oh yeah, and the majority of Twilight's fans are...I'd say tween/teen-girls. My little sister absolutely loves it, as does my best friend's little sis (they're both high school underclassmen). I don't know why that would be surprising or offensive as it seems pretty darn obvious.

also, just as a disclaimer, i don't want you to think i'm being like 'hey man, go read the book'. you probably wouldn't like it seeing as how you've like researched it and shizz, but you should give the movie a shot once it comes out. like borrow it from a friend or something. because, without a doubt, the movie will be different from the book. and probably more likable by the people who didn't really get into the books.

Okay............................... Let me start by saying I don't agree with the author of this article. However let me second that just because you do not agree with someone, it is not right to yell at them and call them names. I mean honestly when I first read the article, I wanted to leave a nasty comment about how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and yada yada. But after reading what other people had to say and reading the author's explanations of why he doesn't want to read Twilight, I don't care. It's really none of my business. I don't know this man, nor does it affect me whether or not he reads the series or sees the movie. I am part of the crazed Twilight fanbase, and I am happy to say that because I love Twilight. However, alot of fans are WAY to quick to judge and I don't want to be thrown in to the group of close-minded fans because not all of us are that way. To Die-Hard Twilight Fans- If you hate this man so much for writing this article, why not just close your browser and move on? To leave a nasty comment and call this man names does not make yourself or the fanbase look good, and I could see how it would make others not want to read the book, not to mention that it's kind of a waste of time. Especially when 100 people before you said the exact same thing. Show some dignity and get over it. To each their own and if they do not care about Twilight, why should we care what they have to say on the matter. Obviously they may not be making a well educated assumption. We know how good the books are and we don't have to convince the whole world to read it, as fun as that would be. They don't know what they're missing and it's not our obligation to constantly remind them. To Those Who Have Decided Not To Read The Books Because Of The Crazed Fans- I would hope that you would not be as quick to judge and as close-minded as some of my fellow Twilighters, and that you would give the book a chance as you see fit. Whether it's reading it or NOT bashing it everytime you hear something about it, or just going to see the movie, you can be the judge of that. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, not by any means, I just wanted to give you the invite as a more poised Twi-hard than others. Because maybe that's all you needed, was the invite. Kevin Powers- I can't really apologize for everything that's been said about your article and your opinion by other Twilight fans, but I do apologize for judging you myself when I first read this article. I myself would not like to be judged for being a Twilight fan and I assume you do not like being judged for not being interested. I'm not going to tell you to go read the books or to go see the movie because I think that's been said enough. However, if ever at some point in your lifetime you see the Twilight movie or read the Twilight series and you enjoy it, more power to you. Even if you don't read it or don't like it, if and when you do, I thank you for voicing your honest opinion. Oh and another thing. Do you people HONESTLY not have ANYTHING better to do than sit on here and argue about this book/movie??? I mean seriously some of the same people have posted like 10 times. Please just let it go. Okay so now that I've officially wasted everyone's time, not to mention my own, I would just like to say that even though this is a very LONG comment I just felt that I needed to voice my OWN honest opinion. P.S. I'm an Edward fangirl, and I happen to fall in the 18 and younger crowd. I'm 15 and 9 months, to be exact. (Just wanted to throw that out there to show not ALL teenage girls are that crazy)

I'm a 60ish straight white male, a former aerospace engineer who reads science fiction, fantasies, and mysteries. I also sometimes read the better YA novels, the ones which deal with growing up because, frankly, I've never quit growing up and trying to quit being a bit of a macho ass-hole. I also write science fiction and am halfway through the third book of a series I call the Shapechanger Chronicles. When done I'll start looking for an agent. I mention this because I've long studied writing and worked at being good enough to be publishable. The Twilight books fascinated me. I thought the writing was excellent, and I compare it to the best around including "literary" works by Hemingway, Faulkner, Conrad, and so on. More importantly the people interested me too, especially Bella, who is the kind of feisty female to whom I've always been attracted, and with which I've lived for the last 15 years. Those are the books. I'll go see the movie, hoping pessimistically not to be disappointed. Perhaps my biggest objection is that I don't like the character playing Edward. He seems too pretty, physically wimpy, and brooding - which is Hollywood's idea of what teen girl's are attracted to. In other words, he's a sexually non-threatening boy, not a man. The Edward in the books is decades old and a grownup inside if not outside. The Hollywood movie-Edward romance-object may be even be true, at least for tweens, those young women barely into adolescence. But I've gone through a dozen years of my three nieces growing up, and those aren't the boys they dated. And they are all quite pretty, and have their pick of guys. The young men I met were mostly worthy of "my girls" and believe me I'm as protective of them as their mostly absentee father. The also weren't wimpy, pretty, sullen boys. Larry Carroll, AKA Laer Carroll and Elle Carroll http://larrydla.home.att.net/writing.html

I agree. My sides are splitting.

I haven't bothered to read all the comments, but I'm quite sure that I'm one of few adolescent females who actually despises the book. Book. See, I got through the first one but it left me with no incentive to read the sequels. The plot was insipid and drearily overdone, and Bella was a whiney, self absorbed bitch. Edward liked Bella because she smelt nice and Bella liked Edward because he was good looking. 'Nuff said. I thought it was actually going somewhere before Meyer decided to do a rather stupid thing by introducing another lustful vampire, who, like Edward, couldn't resist the alluring scent of Bella. *yawns* As for the ballet-centre set up, that was done for the sake of making it seem like it was all planned out - or that's how it appeared to me. It was out of the blue, random, and didn't seem like it had been thought out very much. As for her writing style, yeah, she's got some talent. It's just a pity that the character development was non-existent, the plot unoriginal and boring, and the story as a whole, unappealing. Any one who knows me knows that I'm the biggest fan girl around when it comes to romance. And apparently I can safely insult Twilight because I am female, which apparently makes my opinions more valid than if I were male. Or so the vast majority of females seem to think.

As a sixteen-year-old, I love the Twilight series but I'm not so excited to see the movie. The cast looks pretty great (except for the guy who is playing Jacob, he looks about twelve and a Disney star run-off), but I really don't want to see the books ruined. Anybody remember the tragedy of Eragon? Great books, good movie (by itself), but paired together did not work out whatsoever. Of course, I probably only liked Eragon because Garrett Hedlund is in it... But still. I hate it when books go to movies and they die. Like Blood and Chocolate. We could sit here and continue throwing out names, but my point is I am probably going to shoot someone if the movie turns out cheesy. And I have a really bad, bad gut feeling it's going to.

Ahahaha, the Twilight fandom is totally batshit. The books aren't that good, but I still read them because they're entertaining. And all these comments about how you're being a jerk for "judging the books before you read them" are really stupid and just make me roll my eyes because, um, *hello*. You're reviewing movies, not the books. I'm looking forward to the movie, but only to judge it based on the books. I might enjoy it, because I know Robert Pattinson is an awesome actor, but that's about it. Bella's a stupid, silly young girl who doesn't know what she's getting into. Edward's overdoing the whole "I'm dangerous and I have no soul!" thing, and Jacob's an emo, arrogant teenager who needs to learn that when people say no, they mean no. The entire Twilight fandom embarrasses me, even though I moderate a comm dedicated to the books on LJ. Some of them honestly scare me and the rest are just stupid. There are some who are actually sane and not totally obsessed and I admire that. But the overeager, obsessive teens - and even the Twilight moms *shudder* - make me wish I'd never heard of the books sometimes. And when the casting choices came out, there was judgment all around and fights broke out over opinions of the actors and many people were calling Nikki Reed a whore for getting the part of Rosalie. Based on what you know, and who you are, I would agree that the Twilight movie doesn't seem like the type of movie I'd want to see. The only reason I picked up the book in the first place was because of the cover and the summary - I'm a vampire book aficionado. I'm currently reading "Blue Bloods", another YA vamp novel, and it's really good. And if I'd never read the books, I'd probably still be going to see the movie, but that'd only be because of Robert and because, of course, of the vampires. ...this was a lot longer than I expected and really tl;dr, but eh. I got my opinion out there.

The Twilight books fascinated me. I thought the writing was excellent, and I compare it to the best around including "literary" works by Hemingway, Faulkner, Conrad, and so on. ---------- You're kidding? Right? What series are you reading? Wow. The Twilight that I read was like reading bad Fan-Fiction with hilariously bad dialog on par with Plan 9 From Outer Space. Meyer can't write her way out of a paper bag.

um... okay.. let me just say this one thing really quick.....WOW. there is really no reason for all this. this whole thing just snow-balled and went in the complete wrong direction. . . . atleast its what it looks like to me. yes people think it is a good book and yes people think it is a bad book...... but sorry wrong site for blogging your entire thought process about that subject. he has repeated that "THIS IS A MOVIE SITE" more than once.... you all talk about know what your talking about before you speak your opinion on it well..... if you would have went through this heap load of comments you would understand why your input was probably not needed or very very very very redundant (unentended pun) (sorry hehe) i know mine probably isn't either... so i'm a hypocrite ... but o well. just watch the movie if you want. don't watch the movie if you don't want to. he was just voicing his own thoughts on the movie. deal with it. simple. =]

Twilight is awful. I’ll be brief. This book is, as Napoleon Dynamite would say, a “decroded” piece of crap. Bella is an idiot. She’s like a robot, but with less emotion. She is a beaten dog cowering and whimpering and tippy-toeing around her master. She is in love with a vampire; a vampire that is mean, verbally abusive and condescending. She is 17 and therefore knows everything. She’s 17 and “IN LOVE”. Evidently, she is so unaware of herself and everyone around her, that the only option she has is to get bitten and turn in to a vampire so she can live with Edward forever. Because as we all know, when you’re in love at 17, you know it’s real. Bella is always in a trance and awestruck over the marbleness of Edwards creepy white-glitter-skin. Edward has a bad temper because, GRRR, he’s a vampire. He bosses her around. He stalks her. He treats her like the piece of meat that she is and he only loves her because she smells good. Bella is more than happy to take the abuse and gawk at his statue-like physique the whole while. Bella can’t think past tomorrow. She has a sick and twisted world perspective. Someone should hand Bella “7 Habits”, because she’s in dire need of a paradigm shift. Here is a positive message for young women, “if you love someone, drop everything and leave family and friends for them.” A very healthy anecdote. If I was Edward and an idiot chick was in love with me and wouldn’t stop staring at me and being an idiot and begging me to turn her into a vampire, I would tell her to hit the bricks. If she persisted, then I would bite that girl’s neck completely off. I would bite her, but not let her become a vampire because she would be harder to destroy. I would just let her die because I wouldn’t want to be with a girl that lacked all personality and sense of self. I would want someone who is there own person. Bella, the main character, is not. Edward is a total douche. He treats her like crap, but she needs him. She can’t function on her own, she can’t survive on her own and she can’t be without someone that is constantly bossing her around, looking at her like an idiot and fighting every urge to kill her. If I was a regular person and had a love interest that was a vampire and she kept bossing me around and looking at me like I was some stupid person and verbally abused me, then the next time we had a date, I would hang her with a garlic noose, shoot her with my super-soaker filled with holy water and then drive a big, fat wooden stake right through her heart. Where are the feminists and why aren’t they rioting in the streets? As popular as this book has become, you would think that they would have something to say about how Bella represents young women in a disgustingly inferior light. The demographic here is teenage girls and the main character is in an abusive relationship and LOVES IT!! There is something wrong with this picture. I haven’t even gotten to the actual writing itself. It’s repetitive and redundant and repetitive and redundant..etc. It’s a high school romance novel. - Example of the crappiness that fills half of the book: Bella: I love you. Edward: (sneer) I know. Bella: Don’t ever leave me Edward: never…(grimace and clenched fists) Bella: (in a trance)…turn me into a vampire Edward: I have to leave you. Bella: (in a trance)…wtf? You just said you wouldn’t. Edward: (snarl) j/k…I can’t leave you, but I might kill you. Bella: (pouting) I’d rather die in your hands than live a normal life ME: (puking all over the book) - There is no description in the writing except for repetitive drivel of Edward’s flawless body and his oh-so-nauseating “sneer” - There are typos, specifically the run-on sentences jump off the page. - The whole subplot with the other vampires was contrived, lazy, random and grossly elementary. - The preface is absolutely unnecessary. The referring passage is anticlimactic. - For the most part, only teenage girls like it and they only like Edward Cullen. Therefore, there is no way that this book is good. Twilight is life after Harry Potter? I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. Now if only I could pretend I didn’t READ that.

All of this that i am looking at is bull. Her books are amazing ( especailly the twilight series ). The reason i say this is because not many 8th graders these days read , but her books go tso many people into reading . The twilight seris captures the attention of the reader , you want to know what happens next, you cant put the book down. This movie is the latest news every body is talkin asbout it and waiting on it and to see if they make a movie to new moon and eclpsie. I dont know why but her books are adicting. Even though most of her readers sre teen girls.:] I love her books and im positive im going to love the movie, and so do many other people.

I didn't even bother to read the article. I just wanted to express my love of twilight! I mean, right now I'm making a PowerPoint of it. That is pure love right there! I'm a girl and I am so going to go see the midnight show of Twilight!

SO, i got so addicted that my friends(i hate them now), teachers (principal included) and family won't let me read the Black and Red Bible(Twilight books). I hate all of them for that. I mean,im not aloud to read BREAKING DAWN when it comes out. JUNE 20 was EDWARD'S birthday. WHen i went to Port Ludlow( about 2 hours from Forks), i had my grandma drive me to Forks. When she figured that i wanted to go there because i thought Vampires lived there, she turned right back. I can't believe my FRIENDS won't let me read Twilight. They're just as about as addicted as i am!!! Well, maybe not, but still. I created my own Twilight website. It's POWERELEMETS.PICZO.COM. My mom made me take down all the Twilight posters i MADE in my spare time and if she even hears a word relating to Twilight, im grounded for 4 days. Like one time Mr. Ball (english teacher/7th grade dean) caught me reading Eclipse, and gave me a LUNCH DETENTION!!! i didn't do anything wrong!!!! And when we did a book report, i did my book report on New Moon, and everybody was complaining on how addicted and weird i am about the Twilight Seres, so i didn't get to present my project, and i got another lunch detention. HELP ME BEFORE I DIE OF STARVATION FROM TWILIGHT!!!

I SINCERELY hope post number 219 was written as a joke. If it was real, then God help this country's youth. O.o

okay first # 219. yea that bitch is crazy. second ive read all the books and ill be the first to admit that they had some corny parts to them that may have happened quite often.but the nooks had a good story line and lets face it yes these books were made and based off of the opinions of teenage girls. but i do know guys who have started the books and really enjoyed them. and who could really disagree? who in life really doesnt want to fall in love sure this book mite present it like its just going to smack u in the face someday and im sure in most peoples lives it didnt or it wont happen that way. love at first sight at least. but there really isnt anything wrong with letting some (SOME(yes not including u crazy bitch #219)) people know that no vampires dont excist but yes love really is out there and it came smack anybody in the face. but anywho as far as the movie goes. when i read the books i didntpicture ANY of them to look like that. and on the trailer where it shows when shes asks how long hes been 17 the deff. were not in the woods they were in a car. but yea the books were good. but as much as i say i liked them and that i try to say that the movie will be awesome. i would have to agree with alot of these ppl. THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE TOTAL BULLSHIT! the cast sucks. the make up sucks and the way they tried to remake it blows!

Haha! I'm a girl. You've pretty much seen everything to be said here, if you really are reading this. My advice: Don't explain why it sucks even though you haven't read it. -_- It doesn't exactly get people back on your side, lol! ^_^

Until you actually read the books, I don't think you can criticize them. What are you so afraid of? Why don't you actually read them ( or at least the first one)? Are you afraid you might like them? Then, what oh what would you do?

wow. i just started reading the books and i must say, im hooked. they are very real (except for the whole part about vampires) and i cant wait to see the movie come out very soon! =]

who the hell are you to say its crap if you havent even read the friggin book?!?the book, fyi is directed at TEENAGERS not mentally retarded 20 something yr old guys! its a vampire love story and sure, it wont inerest everyone but dont be predjudiced about it!! if you havent got anything nive to say about Twilight then dont say anything at all!! I love Twilight...great great book! Great Job Stephanie! CAnt wait for Breakng Dawn and Midnight Sun

bite the poor mans head off would ya. so he doesnt want to read the books or watch the movie, why waste all ur effort on being mad at him. if you love the books then his opinion probably isnt going to stop you from watching the movie. also i do know some guys who are just as into the series as i am. now everyone take a deep breath and let it out slowly. hes just curious about the world of twilight let him make his own opinion of it

Ok...I have read all the way to the second book. I had trouble putting it down!! But, Twilight is more then a love story. Twilight is the unimagened!! At first when all my friends said that it was a good book, i just ignored then. But, then they convinced me to read them, and now im hooked!! You cant just look at the cover and a judge it, you have to read it!! Once you read it and get to an really intense spot, you have to keep reading!! All the edventures that they have are really good. It is something like a romance novel, but yet different. There is a romance in the novel, well there is a couple, but they are really good. You just have to read the book to understand what we are talking about!!!

I read the books, and loved them, but i can agree with anyone who hasnt read these books that the trailers and pics make it look completely idiotic. The only reason im going to see it is because Stephenie Meyer has said she thinks they captured the characters, although from the previews, i would probally disagree. Twilight (the book) is amazing for its complex characters and relationships, romantic or friendly, its very real, just with vampires what im trying to say is that Twilight is a amazing because of it characters and their relationships with each other, but it dosent exactly have an origionally overall stoyline (boy likes girl, girl likes boy, they cant be together for one reason or another, they overcome it), so this wouldn't appeal to the very large part of the male population that haven't read the books, and for me personally, there dosen't seem to anything close to the kind of chemistry Bella and Edward have in the books between Kristen and Robert. Overall i think most people are assuming the movie will be good because the book was good, but lets be realistic, how many times has Hollywood screwed up.

OOh I think It would be really great if Robert Pattinson actually wrote 'Bella's Lullaby' himself. It would make us Twilighters feel more into the movie, and would give it a more realistic twinge. I hope he did write it himself.

As a female, I must say that I really didn't like Twilight, the book. I probably won't go to watch the movie - mostly because I really see no chemistry between the main characters, Bella and Edward. It seems to me that Bella is attracted to Edward merely because of his cold, stone, marble, alabaster, perfectly beautiful sparkly vampire self... I think Robert Patterson sums it up well with his statement that Bella would love a piece of cheese if it was of the above description. Edward is immediately attracted to her scent... and I really don't see anything endearing about Bella other than that she is decently pretty. She's certainly lacking in common sense - he stalks her, then breaks her car because he doesn't want her to see Jacob... oh, and he's a vampire. I also really didn't like the writing style, but that's just my opinion. Also, I really enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula, if anyone's wondering.

Okay so I have three brothers, ages 23, 20, and 19 who have read the series or started to read the series and love it! Plus my dad listens to them on itunes. None of these boys are ones who you would expect to be reading sappy love stories and the 23 year old has actually made fun of them quite often until he started reading for himself. One of them is a marine and he even took my copy of Breaking Dawn to a training he went to. Anyway, I know this is about the movie, and I can't say that I am all that excited about it, because the books were so good that I don't know how it is going to measure up. But you should for sure read the book, and there are four boys for you who actually like them.

The chose a really good actress that could play Bella but Edward on the other hand... That just isn't Edward! You know what I'm saying? He looks more like a Jacob to me not an Edward. Edward was supposed to have black hair and I know he is supposed to have pale skin but they just made the actress too pale. It wasn't the picture of Edward that I had in mind. Although I"m going to the midnight showtime I am SO syced for it to come out. If you haven't read the whole series READ IT!

acctualy she says that his hair is a dark color and in the light is bronze!!

EDIT I meant that Rob was the exception to being OK I think he is amazing.

look would everyone please just fucking calm down?!? Kevin...grr dont judge a book by its cover!!! well all i have to say is that Twilight is a very good series, one of my very favorites and even thought ob Pattinson isnt my ideal choice for Edward, i think the movie will be great, i realy hope they dont fuck it up!! but yeah, back to my point, dont judge a book by its cover.. read the books before you make any more bad comments about it. and is not just girls who love the books, heaps of guys at my high school LOVE the books just as much as all the girls!!

#252: I suggest you "should just shut up and" re-read his article, mentioning just the movie and its lack of impression on him, only mentioning the actual series by saying it's "flown under my twenty-something guy radar". You can't blame him for that. And since when is Kevin not being fond of the whole vampire-love story misogynistic? Do you even know what that means? Last note: He does have the right to speak about his feelings here. It's called constructive criticism.

mmm so yeh, besides what anybody else has to say...very inspiring, i couldnt put the book down.

amooooooooo crepusculooooooooooo diossss es el mejor libro que me he leido en toda mi vida!!! espero que la pelicula sea igual de genial que el libro!!! PORFAVORRR que la nana de bella sea la canción RIVER FLOWS IN YOU!!! es hermosisima y es perfecta para ese papel!!!! es LO MAXIMOOOOOO

This is what I did: 1.) Found all the guys who posted 2.) Read mostly those (I was curious) 3.) Read some girls, but didn't really have to because most of their responses were obvious 4.) Stopped reading at about Comment #230 Yes, most of the fans are girls. Girls like romance so that was to be expected. And guys like the rough 'n tough stuff. But, hey, there are guys who like the Twilight series too. Just chillax, people. Don't get in a huff. I'm a Twilight-loving gal myself, but I wont rant on and on about how great it is and how everyone should love it. Fact of the matter - People have different opinions. Enough said.

this movie is going to be amazing i read the book and its good and the movie is only going to be better! anyone who read this bi=ook is gona wanna c the movie no dought about it cant wat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when you read a book, its usually good. if theres a plot that relates to any life time thing its awesome.. but once i started reading the twilight series.. there wasnt a single book that id read in the past that was even close to being ok.. they were all terrible compared to them. you have no idea how much im into these books. i fell in love, literally with edward culler.. now, edward pattinson isnt very hott, at all, but in the movie as edward, he is the most gorgeous being i have ever seen, makeup and all, and the personality makes it even better, thats half the reason why he is so hott, because i fell in love with him in the book, and i love the hair, hes perfect for the part.. and i love kristen stewart so im so happy shes playing bella.. its the best series and i cant wait until stephanie meyer is done redoing the first book in edwards perspective.. if any author should do that for a book it should definently be this one.. you have to read the book to know how exciting that is.. i have always wanted to know edwards side. i hope she does it for all of the books!!!!

How dare ANYONE flame Twilight..its bullshit.

that last one was for kevin powers

Before you decide to write crap on this book you should read it. I mean just because alot of girls read it doesnt mean that it is a girl book. There is fights, gore, love, confusin, things that anyone can read! So make sure to read the book or at least ask someone whos read it what it is about guys. I promise if it is your kind of book you will never be able to put it down!! The movie: i was sceptical about Robert Patersion playing Edward, but i soon saw that he is perfect(so is Bella's Actor and everyone elses!! I think its great that he wrote Bellas Song. It makes it real and personal!! READ the Book before you talk crap!!

OMG!!!! i jus gotta say that ive only read Twilight so far but im awaiting 2 read the other books. n i jus wanna say 2 all the haters that havent even read the books and r dissing the series and the upcoming movie, i side with all the others Twilight lovers when i say READ THE BOOKS B4 U TALK TRASH ABOUT IT!!!!!! i almost never read nething except jonas brothers magazines but the first book is UNBELIEVEABLY AWESOME and i cant WAIT 2 read the rest and im SO EXCITED 4 the movie 2 come out.

I don't care what your opinion is, but at least WATCH the movie (or read the book) or you are pulling said "opinion" out of your ass and can't expect anyone to take you seriously. Just because the main demographic something appeals to is teenage girls doesn't make it "bad", either. So it's a cheesy teen romance. It's ENTERTAINMENT. Of course it doesn't appeal to you; I kind of hope you don't have any interest in hot 17 year old boys. Try reviewing stuff that falls within your interests, and you might find something that interests you, yes?

"OMG" i "CANT" wait till the movie is out and water you say aynt gonna stop my obsesiveness of Twilight! or stop me from seeing the movie.

Even though I'm female, I just want to say something to all the women in here who are calling this post sexist and misogynist. I'm a female in the 18-24 range of age, and I'm never going to actually read the books nor watch this movie. In fact I may even actively hate this series with a passion. However, I can say with full confidence that this book series is more demeaning to women than Kevin will probably ever be in his life. Here's Bella, a dumbass goth-wannabe Mary Sue who wants Edward to wisk her off and make her stay "17 4 EVR." Can't take care of herself and wants Edward to help save her from every damn thing. I believe a previous poster commented on this point. Now, what kind of message is this sending to young women? Compare that to Kevin wanting to know what men think of this series. I think the misogynist claims are rather unwarrented.

who ever hates twilight can shut up.

this is the best book i hav read anyone who doesnt like it is a loser i cant wait to watch the movie friday!!!!!!!!BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!TOTALLY!!!!!!

Look, if you [people who are just hating it because its 'stupid' or something] haven`t read the Twilight series then you probably don`t really get want is going on. If you are just gonna base your point of view on one thing then that`s just stupid. If you people don`t like the idea of teen girls going crazy for something that may or may not go successful, then why spoil it for them? Why ruin the fun for them? It's their money. And if you don`t like the actor/actress who are playing the characters then don`t watch or look at it. But I`m not saying that you, Kevin are a mean person but I do understand your point on Twilight. And about the clothing.. LOLLLL, yeah.. I KINDA do see the whole A&F thing going on but.. eh, plus they are trying to "fit-in" with the whole 21st century. But don`t forget, Meyers' had a DREAM about this and if she loves writing these kind of vampires then let her write -.- If you don`t like the whole thing about good-looking-modern day vampires then don`t read about it or look at it [but it is hard not to.. LOL]. #283, that maybe your vision of vampires but if teen girls love the 'good-looking' vampires then let them. And tho I`m rooting for the 'good vampires' but I still love the Nomads. =) I`m a teenage girl in the range of 13-18 and I love these books but I don`t go around and like be like "OHHH I LOVE TWILIGHT SOSOSOSO MUCHHH!!!!!" And if I sound like a 12 year old on my opinion then fine, be a partypooper.

Hmm, well, seeing as the books were directed to the teenage let-fall-over-every-gorgeous-guy population, yes, there would be more female fans. However, I think that you should at least try to read the book and understand why we girls love it so much. It's not "bella falls in love with edaward" and "omg, bella gets in to trouble and needs to be rescued.....AGAIN". It's because Staphanie Meyer creates the almost perfect guy. We, the twilight fanatics, are in love with the characters. We love how they each have a history. Everyone is welcome to have their own opinions. Personally, I'm going to watch. Because I love the books. If you don't want to, your problem, dude.

omg i just love twilight i red all the books edward is soooooooooo hot i just love him jacob is okay i loved the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at the end of the movie i was like nooo dont end i dont want it to end WHY i sad that because it was such a good movie they should make another twilight movie called new moon they should!!!

hahai!!!!!!!!!!!!! the movie is fantastic especially the male actor, he is a real hunk yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that the actors in the movie preformed with passion. First of all the movie was fantastic becuase there was no gory sences. to all those hypicritical people out there, I'd like you to preform a bolod suking creature or girfriend to a vampire when you've done that then complain and say how difficult it is. Twiligth and the series are fabulous, There was nothing wrong Aboaut it! Good Job cast you were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Edward (Robert pattinson) is a talented actor as well as Bella

huh, i REALLY like the books but the MOVIE..omg! where does that actor look just a BIT like edward? he´s more frightning than enchanting, and wasn´t edward used to have reddish-brown hair, falling undone and kinda *out of bed* around his face?...sry, but except Jasper the staff is really sucking...-.- SO it more looks like a bad vampire-goth-watever.. and i wouldn´t compare it to harry potter, they´re both real good fantasy, but different on their own, so I wouldn´t use the one to judge the other! in short: i loved the books and definitely won´t watch the movie! to kevin: i guess you should read the book first before bad-mouthing it, but it may really not be to your liking. you just shouldn´t see that as some kind of victory, because everyone has other likings ^^ and now a book-recommendation on an media fansite XD KAREN MARIE MONING ! i really do LOVE her fever-series and everyone who likes fantasy, self-confident girls (with big breasts XD) and karens way of writing it both funny and with a great sexual tension will fall for it too, BOTH men and women i suppose XD its just wickeeeeed xD check it out: http://www.karenmoning.com/novels/darkfever/excerpt.html

look the movie could have been better but it was still very good and i love the books as well so dont diss it until uve either read the book or seen the movie. dont judge a book by its cover

not all the moviegoers had the chance to read the book, irregardless of wether the book was ok or not, the most important is that, the movie was done perfectly that even made it to the top grosser. The casting was good and the movie left something to the viewers that made them fall in love not just in the movie but as well as in the actors and actress in the movie. I hope there would be twilight part 2. hooray!

if you havent watched it dont comment bcuz it is acctualy extreemely fab (i no i cant spell but w/e)so dont critizie it b4 u watch it

i love the movie and the book. Edward is so cute. I would want him to watch me sleep. i think Bella is so pretty.

just from a guys point of view the books are actualy quite interesting.. the movie wasnt bad..so im gunna have to say i think that meyers knew what she was doing...but i guess i might be the only guy who thinks that oh well..but like i said its pretty good because every guy wishes that he could be the one person to save the day even if he acts like he doesn't

bella descrubes them as hot but they all are butterz except edward

I think twilight is the best movie in the whole intire movie world in the history movies and i also thing that edward is the hottest man in the whole intire universe.
