Twilight

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. (2008-12-02)

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. (2012-08-12)

I personally can't understand that it has such a low rating. I would have put money on the movie getting at least 80%. I don't think Twilight is playing at being some gritty vampire movie. The atmosphere alone suggests it's something else entirely. Fortunately, it has its die-hard fans, which is the reason why more episodes are being made. I proudly count myself among them! In my eyes, it's all about a great love story, interesting characters, and an original atmosphere. (2011-06-13)

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. ;) (2009-08-12)

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 :-) (2008-11-28)
