The big-screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because she smells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks the part, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to Twilight fans most. --Ellen A. Kim
On the DVD
The special features for Twilight kick off with an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There's some mumbling and groaning from Stewart (one gets the impression that Stewart is quite similar to her reserved character in the film), some standard behind-the-scenes observations from Hardwicke, and a lot of awkward self-deprecating remarks from Pattinson (of their big kiss, he opines: "This is quite difficult 'cause I have a really flat head, and so it's quite difficult to get a correct angle."). What's funny is Pattinson stumping Hardwicke with some basic plot questions, like "Why doesn't James just kill [Bella when she's packing at her house]?" While Hardwicke and Stewart attempt to answer, Pattinson doesn't appear satisfied. The deleted and extended scenes include an additional dream-sequence kiss (rightly cut because it took away from the buildup to their first kiss) and more footage of Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre). The seven-part documentary is a pretty thorough look at the development of the film, including stunts, special effects, and the involvement of author Stephenie Meyer. Another featurette looks at the Comic-Con frenzy; however, it spends no time on how the actors were cast, which would have been fun for fans who did all their own mental casting while reading the books. Also included: three music videos and trailers. --Ellen A. Kim Twilight at Amazon.com

 Twilight July 28, 2010
Dawn Sharif-Coon
I haven't viewed this dvd yet, but I've never had a problem with any dvds I've purchased, so I assume it is very good. Received it timely.
 I can understand the adolescent frenzy about this series... July 24, 2010
T. A. Hopkins (Evansville, Indiana United States)
This movie series was so hyped that I scoffed about it at first. I loved the plot idea, and the instant frenzy it created not only among teens finally piqued my interest, as I am a sucker for anything having anything to do with vampires, werewolves, and James Dean. I'd heard the movie did not do the book enough credit and wanted to see for myself.
I cannot explain what it is about the whole Twilight thing, except to say that now I understand how it can draw you in and take hold. I'd roll my eyes about all the Rob Pattinson hype, but then when I saw his portrayal of Edward, all I could say was, "Beautiful..." I do see a little James Dean in his character, which I feel added to the appeal and how I would envision his character to be. I thought the casting was pretty good, and although I think Kristen Stewart is a lovely, talented actress, and probably a kick to hang with, I honestly felt that her portrayal of Bella did not come off with the depth and emotion that I expected. Often, I found myself really wondering what Edward saw in her, because it wasn't believable. Still, the two seemed to have genuine chemistry, and I so wanted them to be together. Still, though the dialogue filled in some gaps for me, I felt there wasn't enough of it, and it felt a little flat in that respect. Often, I thought Bella's father Charlie and his scenes stole the show.
We joked that most teenage girls just pine for one special guy, and this one has a vampire AND a werewolf fighting over her! Oh, the drama! Oh, the teen angst! It's been many moons since I was their age, but I have not forgotten the feelings of first love and raging hormones, and that worse than torturous death feeling when that first love has been severed. There were many parts in scenes that effectively brought back those familiar feelings and made me care about the characters. I applaud the director's ability to show the emotion, sensuality, and sexual tension without ever crossing the line. I felt the "holding back" of it actually added to it, since these days, sex is so pushed in our faces and gratuitously overdone. I felt the reviews of the director and the effects were a little harsh. I liked the way it was put together, and the sort of sci-fi effects gave good visual description of the special gifts the vampires had. I also thought the music was pretty good for the movie, and loved Radiohead's "15 Steps" playing as the cast was credited at the end.
Cynic that I am, I found myself watching this over and over. I now understand why teens and young adults are so crazy about the Twilight saga. I see no reason to deter them from the enjoyment of the experience. I am motivated to go read the books.
The Book Is Much Better July 23, 2010
Yv Sol
This movie is fine but the book is outstanding. If you like the movie you will love the book.
 I loved all of the books and all the movies so far July 23, 2010
Diane (Phoenix, Arizona United States)
I really loved this I read all the books and watched both dvd's on the movied. Awesome. Leaves you wanting more. So you go on to the next book and movie and enjoy it. It is a series that I wish would never end. I would love to have a book written about Alice and Jaspers story. Starting with Alice and then adding Jasper. Then watch a movie about Alice's life. I would like to have each character's story written about the movie made afterward. I need more to read and I have been looking for something new to start reading.
Extremely Over-Rated, But Still A Decent Movie. July 23, 2010
Pete Cortez (CALIFORNIA)
Everybody Keeps Talking About Twilight, So I Watched This To See What All The Hype Is About, Yes This Movie Is Not As Great As A Thought It Would Be, But It's Decent, I'll Watch New Moon And Give It A Chance,But If It's The Same Or (god forbid) Worse Then The First One, I Probably Won't Watch Eclipse. Story: 8/10. Acting: 9/10.
