Twilight (Blu-ray) (2008)

Please don't waste your Quickflix membership hiring out this truly terrible film. I'm really glad I've never paid to see it. I watched some of it the other night on Australian telly while I was randomly channel surfing. As I've never been a "Twi-hard" - I hadn't seen the film or the books (I have one or two friends who are fans) - but thought I would see what all the fuss was about. I'm not swayed by the toothsome charms of vampires myself. Interview With The Vampire is a better choice if you're into that sort of thing. I probably watched about an hour of the film and it is truly appalling stuff. The leads are obviously getting paid money for nothing because I didn't see much acting going Please don't waste your Quickflix membership hiring out this truly terrible film.

I probably watched about an hour of the film and it is truly appalling stuff. The leads are obviously getting paid money for nothing because I didn't see much acting going on. The script is rubbish, the special effects were uninspiring and there was just nothing in it that made me care about the characters. I personally couldn't see the appeal of the pasty, scrawny, whiny, delicate, suffering little Edward when all these other lovely cute boys were asking Bella out and crying out for her attention (though for the life of me I can't think why as she seemed so boring, lifeless and uninteresting ). I could list many other reasons why this film is just BAD BAD BAD - but what difference will it make? Sadly, I am sure the film makers, the actors and the author of the books are probably laughing all the way to the bank.

I've been dreading having to write about this one, so here goes nothing. Basically I like to at least "try" and keep with up with pop culture, and as the third movie of this series was hitting cinemas I figured, what the hell. What the hell indeed. Whilst it was pretty much what I expected, a lot of mopey teenagers/vampires pining over one another in dim light, bad action scenes and overt religious undertones. You know, bad. ButI didn't expect to look so dated. I kept checking the release date in disbelief that it was only two years old cause this looks like something a music video director would think was "edgy" and "hip" in the mid nineties. It didn't by the way. Not then, and sure as hell not now.

For young teenagers? Nicely shot and I didn't think the acting was bad at all, but the the storyline - I don't know how they dragged it out for that long. Don't think I'll bother with the rest of the series.

Pretty plodding close adaptation of the novel. Some of the scenes are beatifully shot but overall a bit lacklustre. Sequel(s) should be better

It's all they say it is..a fresh new look at vampire's lives and loves...room for heaps of sequels....an 8/10 movie

This is absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen. Badly acted, poorly produced, lousy script, no plot, no character development - no point watching it. I haven't read the book although I have read The Host and quite enjoyed it, so I can't believe the book is this bad. If you want to do a movie about a young girl's fears about having sex and men being able to control their lustful natures (!), just make that the topic, not this euphemistic, sanitised rubbish. And if you want to do a vampire movie, do it properly, not some thinly disguised sappy teen romance. Even within the constraints of a romance vampire movie this is bad - there is no suspense, no pace, no progress, no story. Just one long constant overarching moan "I loooooooveee Eddddwarrrrrrrd" which is established in the first five minutes and doesn't change. About as interesting as a lovestruck teenager on Facebook.

It more for teenages. Never watch this again!

Can't wait to see the sequal. Even better than the book.

"What has been seen cannot be unseen"...I wanted to tear my eyes out this was so bad. Everyone involved in this film should leave the industry - there is no hope for you. It deserves negative stars as zero would be too kind.

Made solely for the teenage girl market but if you can get past the poor script, shoddy acting and crappy story, visually, the movie is quite stunning. Shot in beautiful locations, the muted greens and blues are quite a treat for the eye.

Good take on the romance/vampire genre (is there one???). The low budget is sometimes evident, but the story line is good. A little slow in places, but it picks up and sets up the series nicely for another 4-6 in the series. Good for a night in with some guy and gal friends - will please most but not overly impress.

Hated it!! If you don't know what a chick flick is... this 1 will REALLY smash the concept through you head. Wish i could get my 3 hours back...

You love this if you're 12 years old child!

Dont wast your money on buying this on blu-ray. This movie isent what its cracked up to be. The only good thing about it is that the main guy is hot, thats all.
