Twilight

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. (06/13/2011)

A contagiously seductive and fragrant combination of classic horror elements, an innocent concept of platonic love, hackneyed plot clichés, Matrix visuals, beautiful natural locations, a Volvo C30 and metrosexuality. How can you resist something like that, especially when it tries to look deadly serious in all its childish naivety? The film is an embodiment of everything that the teenagers of today consider “in” and that sells well. If it hadn’t taken the central couple so long to get together, I might have even condescended to give this a higher rating. A guilty pleasure. (11/25/2008)

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 :-) (11/27/2008)

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. (08/11/2012)

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. ;) (08/12/2009)
