This was almost as bad as Blood and Chocolate! I think this is a good kids movie. In fact, I watched it with my two daughters which are 10 and 13, they loved it. But, this review is for adults. I myself love a good vampire flick, but this movie is just a slap in the face to the vampire genre. The acting, make-up, and special effects were just terrible. It should've been rated 'G'. If you're looking for a good kids movie, I'd say yes. But to everyone else, I'd say NO! Don't waste your time!
What's great about it: The book was decent.
What's not so great: The acting, plot, make-up and special effects were terrible.

The books are good for their genre. The movie is not. This movie doesn't even fit into a genre, certainly not a vampire movie. I know so many girls including my own girlfriend who are obsessed with this movie and the books. It boils down to the fact that this is an over-the-top love fantasy that has struck the emotional core of women nationwide. Its kind of like a boyband, preying upon the hordes of immature personalities seeking a quick, unrealistic, and absolutely unoriginal grip on a specified audience and my my how it has succeeded. The acting is sub-par, story-line as stated before is stale and targeted at [young] women, and when grading this film as a vampire genre it falls short in every way. I do not mean to be so harsh on this movie as it isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but unless you are the personality type that falls under the previous description I DO NOT suggest anyone see this, it definitely has a SPECIFIC audience that will enjoy it. It sad to think this movie won awards over other much better selections, guess we know who the voters are (it is MTV afterall). One can only hope this Twilight "wave" will end abruptly, but with New Moon approaching it seems unlikely (The story does get better at least). Looks like we will be hearing about Edward for some time to come... sorry fellas :P
What's great about it: girl-appealing love story
What's not so great: Kristen Stewart, Acting, Artistically uninspired

Please do yourself a favor and pick up the books. I was dissapointed because the characters were nothing like I pictured them when I first read them. Special effects weren't all that special, acting was icky. GREAT book, iffy movie. :( P.S. would've rated "plot" higher, but they left out SO MANY things from the book!! Why didn't they just use the book as a script and film it word for word!?!

A love story. with vampires...ok passable. However this is so disappointing because it is just a movie for teenagers and doesn't explore the darkerst side of what a vampire is supposed to be, which in my opinion is blood thirsty, evil, and dark...to name a few characteristics. It has no gore, nothing really good in the plot and is totally disappointing. Nothing to make you squemish, nothing to make you turn your head, nothing but teenagers kissing. I could watch saturday morning cartoons and be more amused. It took all i could muster not to fall asleep during this and afterwards felt like i was the one who should have been paid to watch this. If you want a horror movie...STAY AWAY FROM THIS. If you want a GOOD love story then STAY AWAY FROM THIS because it doesn't even deliver in that category either. If you are 12 years old and easily amused with a movie that can't make up its mind on what genre to be in and falls WAY short of anything good, if you like bad acting, and Hollywood cuties that will purely make it soley based on their good looks and not on good acting, if you like stories that fall way short of your expectations(if you was expecting what i was expecting, which was good ol' gore and death since this is a "Vampire" movie), then i say watch it. Otherwise don't waste your time...unless someone pays YOU to watch it, then try to wonder why you just wasted over an hour and a half of your life.
What's great about it: Not a thing
What's not so great: not scary, no gore, i mean come on this has vampires

all I have to say is GLITTER BODY PAINT?!?!?....ok it was a really good movie if your under 17,
However, if your like ma and your an adult who loved the books and was really looking forward to the movie...skip it...it was NOT GOOD...it wasnt horrible, but dont expect much...there are parts that are unintentionally funny....Jasper looks constipated for most of his scenes....hopefully the second movie will be better....it did have a few decent moments of action, but over all its only worth buying if its under $6...or if you know a tween who will love you forever because "shes like soo in love with Rob Patterson".
What's great about it: it was unintentionally funny
What's not so great: its a great book that was made into a cheezy movie

This movie is exactly what is wrong with Hollywood these days. Such bad acting. It's a wonder why Oscar winning movies make $5 million but movies that make $250 million will 99% of the time never win any respectable award
