So the trailers definitely made this movie out to be funnier than it was, having said that I'll admit I didn't even watch the whole thing. Turned it off after 20 mins cos I couldn't be bothered trying to hold on to the end. I guess you have to be in the right sort of mood for this one...

So most of the other reviewers said the ending was the best but unfortunately I didn't make it that far. Turned it off after about 45 mins as it didn't hold my interest and I couldn't be bothered holding on.

The Cullens are not your conventional bloodsuckers. No fangs, no eating humans, they sparkle in the sunlight and like to play baseball. This book to movie adaptation sensation succeeds in bringing this modern day Romeo and Juliet ?forbidden love? story to life. I really enjoyed watching the film and can?t wait to see what tricks they?ll pull to make the second one just as big. I would definitely recommend this movie (and book series) for women of all ages.

I love love loved this movie! Like most die-hard Twilight fans I have read all the books, so my opinion could be biased. Although I took some friends who hadn?t and now they want to, so I guess the film leaves you wanting to know all the ins and outs of the characters and what happens next.
You need to watch it with an open mind to all that you think you know about vampires, as they are not your conventional bloodsuckers. No fangs, no killing humans (well the bad ones do), they sparkle in the sunlight (as opposed to burning to a crisp) and they like to play baseball. So if you can look past all that to the heart of the story which is the forbidden and dangerous love between human and vampire then you should be able to appreciate the film. Because let?s face it ? who doesn?t want to believe that soul mates exist.
The special effects were really quite good considering the measly budget the filmmakers had to work with. I can?t wait to see what they do for the next one, and how they manage to keep these ?never-ageing? vampires looking the same in all the films. Bring on New Moon!

Abso-frickin-lutely awesome! I love Danny, he is hilarious without the crudeness of some other acts.
Brilliant - highly recommended!

This was a real slow movie and it took me till about 3/4 through to understand what I was watching. And then I felt cheated because it was boring.
I picked it solely based on the cast and although the acting was probably good, it was overshadowed by the fact that the story was boring and slow.

Hmmm, I'm not sure that all the people who gave Gabriel one and two star ratings watched the same movie as me.
I thouroughly enjoyed this film and the journey that the characters took me on. I guess you do have to remember that it is an Australian film so it didn't have the budget of a hollywood flick but if you watch the extra features you get a real appreciation for what the creative team acheived with the little resources they had.
This movie will definitely be making its way to my collection as I really enjoyed it!

Good fun to watch, quite entertaining. Costumes are great and the songs just make you feel like dancing the night away.

This movie was great, it has everything going for it. Good cast, intrigue, secrets, magic, suspicion, love, distrust, family, fight for honour and 'prestige' and a killer ending.

This movie was okay. I expected something different to what it actually was. Having said that, it was interesting but I'm in no hurry to see it again. I guess if you're a fan of the comic then you'd love it.

Brilliant movie.

This movie was absolutely mind-blowing. I loved everything about it. Extremely well done in all areas. The action sequences, cotumes, set designs/locations, the acting and special effects... I have nothing bad to say about this movie.

I wanted to see what all the hype was about so I decided to give this movie a go. There are a few funny bits but I think you probably need to be high or have the same warped sense of humour as Will Ferrell to really enjoy the film. It was passable but I wouldn't sit through it again.

Absolutely awesome! I really loved this movie and highly recommend it. The songs were done so brilliantly and actually sung by the actors, filmed live! That's awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of the psychedelic parts in the middle but the beginning and the end more than made up for that. I loved hearing the remixs of the Beatles songs and the way that they shaped the story itself was beautiful, really well written and the acting was flawless. I can't stress enough how much I loved this film. Definitely worthy of a few awards.

wow! what a film... It really makes you think about the sort of people that live in this world. The whole meeting via the internet thing really highlights the danger of the fascination the younger generation have with chatrooms etc. The leads were brilliant, especially Ellen. This movie is rough and quite confronting at times eg the surgery. Its had quite an affect on me - I think the memory of this film will stay with me for sometime.

Good movie - better than I expected. It wasn't just about the action, violence and revenge it had a strong human conection aspect to it too. Four Brothers who stick together, fight together to uphold the memory of their mother.

I love David Boreanaz so naturally this movie was a winner. I enjoyed the story but I might be a bit slow because I didn't see the 'twist' coming... All round it was a nice chill out movie.

Great movie. I haven't seen 4 Weddings and a Funeral so I have no comparison... I thought the stories were well presented, it wasn't confusing to follow and the performances were brilliant. It made me laugh, cry and hope for true love, I could watch it over and over again.

Delightful, laugh out loud funny. The performances were brilliant - I especially liked Colin Firth (hot!)
(Excellent) - review by Katie
Very enjoyable sequel. It doesn't hurt that Colin Firth is to die for! I would recommend to anyone who has seen the first movie.

This movie deserves nothing less than 5 stars. It really opened my eyes to the horror of the time and deeply disturbed me that people can do that sort of thing to other people. However the saviour figure in Schindler himself is a beautiful representation of the human spirit of compassion. The performances themselves were so brilliant at times I wondered whether I was watching real footage. The actors were well cast (although I now have a slight hatred for Ralph Fiennes - he played his role really well). My favourite part was the funeral procession at the end. This movie is definitely worth all the awards it won, you have to see it at least once in your life.

This is one of the best movies I think I have ever seen! It was all so clever the way they intertwined the original Wizard of Oz (which I loved) with this new cyber like world. The acting was brilliant, absolutely brilliant!! Everyone was perfectly cast. I especially loved Kathleen Robertson as Azkadellia. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get lost for a few (okay 4 & 1/2) hours. Absolutely loved it!

Took a while to get into but it was worth watching in the end.

David Boreanaz is H.O.T!! so of course this movie is easy to watch. The girls played their parts well but the actual story line was a bit twisted. Either way David was still hot *sigh*

I'm 21 so I still enjoy kids movies but not this one. It had a good story I guess - what would happen if the bad guys won in fairytale land - but didn't Shrek 3 already do this? and I just couldn't get past Cinderella having the voice of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyway I wouldn't recommend it but if you're really into this sort of thing then you might like it. Maybe.

what a load of crap. Not even James Franco could save it with his hotness (he was NOT attractive at all in this film!) It was weird, not funny and boring.

Good but not the best movie I've ever seen... The whole Navy thing is foreign to me but they explained it well. I enjoyed the film but I never really cared for any of the characters, it didn't move me in the way I think it should have. Nevertheless it was a good movie (probably great if you're into boxing - which I'm not)

This was a very thought provoking movie. The acting was great I especially enjoyed watching DiCaprio in one of his best roles to date. I thought he would annoy me throughout the film with his silly accent but he really surprised me and is now a strong postive for the movie (for me). Based on real events and real life experiences of people in Africa so it means a lot more.

Watched the first 20 minutes and couldn't wait to turn it off. I was completely not interested. I don't know if it got any better but I don't really care either.

Scary to think this was based on a true story and a real person. It's a different sort of film because the case is still unsolved so the movie has no definitive answer to the who dunnit question. However the performances were brilliant, the actors were well cast (even Downey Jr). Although it was a long movie the intrigue was there to keep me interested.
(Excellent) - review by Katie
I would recommend this flick to anyone in need of a fast paced action film. It was all good but the ending was a bit of a let down...

The acting was good but I couldn't really get into the story or the characters.
