I'm too old for this. I'm slowly becoming allergic to it because I read the book and saw that Pattinson works very well in various period dramas, Cam Gigandet impressed in Burlesque, and overall I don't feel like it's a franchise full of desperate people anymore - in short, it's just a franchise for little girls. ;)

Some romantic seductions simply cannot be resisted. Fans of the Whedonverse can be hardly surprised by anything, and as a non-reader of the source material, I slowly started to get lost in the finale. However, the convenient dynamics in building tension, the irresistible Kristen Stewart, and the perfect trio of scenes (listening to Debussy, jumping onto a tree, playing the piano) decided that occasional subtle criticisms of logic are easily swallowed. Those who are romantically inclined will be in seventh heaven. After the second screening, a solid four-star rating.

The reflection of today's scented times. In 1999, we received the action-packed The Matrix, which set the course for the next few years, and now we have Twilight as part of a modern romantic experience. It's not sophisticated or epic, it just cleverly maneuvers in the field of what young audiences want: attractive visuals, music, the looks of the protagonists, a simple plot without unnecessary fuss, sincerity, and the relative awareness of the main characters, all set in an alluring and still not completely exhausted vampire mythology. A phenomenon that may lose its shine in a few years, but today it sets the direction in many aspects. We can only blame ourselves for it.

Twilight represents a special phenomenon when the number of ratings on FilmBooster is approaching 32 thousand users. The film is obviously amongst the most overhyped symbols of contemporary film pop culture. It is a film that polarizes and evokes passions, from absolute identification among pubescent girls to ruthlessly rejective reactions from the opposite sex, possibly even from intellectual and aesthetic positions. It is true that with Twilight, you can easily find material for cutting criticism. The argument that I am not the target audience is true but irrelevant. Misfits was primarily intended for teenagers, and yet I enjoy that show greatly. In this case, however, I shrug my shoulders and say that Twilight has absolutely nothing to offer me. The future parts of the romantic vampire saga will have to do without my viewership. Overall impression: 25%.

Those who have read the book will be happy, they will get everything, they will say: "Yay", they'll love the characters right away. But those who haven't? Oh, it will be very hard to digest – I suppose. I was debating whether to give it 3 or 4 stars, but in the end it was 3. Why? It might sound a bit presumptuous, but it could have been made into a better movie, I could have done it... Yikes, a bit pretentious, I get it :-D But seriously, it just didn't leave anything in me, I was even bored in some parts and there was so much that could have been said! I just found it unfinished... At least I started listening to Linkin Park again, that's good :-)
