Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.

FANG-LESS VAMPIRES ???!!!!!!!

A Customer from London, 27th December, 2008

My mind is still not made up about his one. It does not completely disappoint the book as it is often the case with books’ adaptations. Some scenes that were changed from the book I even thought it looked better (such as when and where Bella reveals to Edward that she knows the truth about him). However if you go to watch a film about vampires, the last thing you expect to see are vampires WITH NO FANGS!!! Honestly… We all know how much film makers try desperately to make ‘another original’ vampire story – every new vampire film changes the vampires a little, making them resilient to sun light, crosses, etc., making up other ways to kill vampires (even making fire arms vital to them). However none of them, even the dumbest one, tried to portray a vampire fang-less!! This is most idiotic idea I’d ever seen! You can forget or change all the other ‘vampire characteristics’ but fangs are what define a vampire! Come on......!!!

in response to BRAINDEAD FROM DONCASTER

A Customer from Dronfield, 31st December, 2008

I went to see this film the weekend it opened and I was really impressed,( you need to actually go and see a film before writing a review!) I am a fan of the books even though I only discovered them in November and i have to say that the film stays true to the book. Yes this film could of looked better in places if they had more money for graphics and effects but it only had a small budget, I think the film was cast really well and Rob and Kirsten have great chemistry. Im sure you will all be pleased to read that Summit Entertainment have already started production on the second movie in the series New Moon as Twilight hit box office records in America with the largest ever opening weekend for a female director (the last time was 1997's Deep Impact) So they must be doing something right!!!! Go see it decide for yourself I loved it and actually went back to see it again!! Please dont listen to peoples reviews when they haven't taken the time to bother watching the film!!

A Customer from Hove, 26th November, 2008

Twilight the film might not convert anyone not already bitten by the popularity of the books, but for us fans there's plenty to both enjoy and discuss. Seeing it in a scereen filled of fans made for a great experience (cheers for Bella being clumsy, whistles for Edwards,and laughs at poor Jasper who really does just look like he is in pain) but I am sure that this will be just as enjoyable on DVD. some of the effects are a bit naff, granted, and I think both Jasper and Alice were poorly casted, but some scenes are actuallt just as magic as they were in the books, and capturing just some of that makes the film worth seeing!

CACK - A NEW STANDARD IN CACKNESS

A Customer from Northampton, 20th November, 2009

Reading the reviews for this film it appeared to be a bit of a marmite film, it either got very high scores or very low scores. Considering I am someone who tends to like querky films who can find something good in films that a lot of other people can't see, and being a massive fan of the vampire genre, i thought i would give this a go. I really have no idea what type of films these people have been watching lately that puts this up there to a 4 or 5 star, i mean you must be watching some real drivel for this to be a good film by any standards. There really have been some cack films made lately and this is right near the top. When i was a teen (80's & early 90's), there were tons of really good teen films around with decent characters, that you cared about, a plot and a generally ripping good yarn. These days it seems that film makers are getting lazy or running out of idea's. There are some unforgivable features in this film, mostly, the vampires don't have fangs....rofl. Anyway, i won't say avoid as clearly a lot of people like this, however, if you have half an imagination and have grown up with film then this will probably dissapoint. If you want to see a really good teen vampire movie then I suggest .... Lost Boys, Near Dark, The Monster Squad, Underworld, Queen of the Damned, Let the Right One In. If you are watching this for romantic reasons then ha ha lol rofl lol.....just make sure you get laid afterwards! There are going to be many sequels to this tripe, unbelievable. I just hope my daughter grows up with more imagination than most of these reviewers, in fact, it will be my mission.

The point is - this for young girls

andyhol from , 18th November, 2009

I just watched this with my daughter and probably like many dads of a certain age was reduced to self-conscious louche voyeur half an hour in.

Daughter loved this and on enquiring in my classes (I am a teacher) I find these actors are universally popular and very much admired. This is well acted with an interesting and more than usually complex plot line. Good special effects.

Great film if you are 13-19, probably a modern girl and like a bit of style but not brain dead. The fangs argument is redundant.

wh0834 from , 17th November, 2009

If I were a romantic 16 year old girl this film might have appealed to me, however I'm a 30 something bloke who likes vampire flicks and twilight is to the vampire genre what goodnight sweet heart is to the zombie genre.
