Laremy Legel

My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema.

Manohla Dargis

A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set.

Trevor Johnston

Some will find it all too polite, but compared to rival blockbuster exercises in explosive CGI mayhem, its character-based index of longing and protectiveness at least provides a viable alternative moodscape.

Ruth Hessey

I succumbed to the palpable chemistry between the leads, and remembered my own girlish fantasies with something of a head-spinning rush.

Ben Mankiewicz

I think this film is definitely a victim of it's own expectations.

Ben Lyons

Unfortunately, it just didn't work.

Go buy the book, this movie is a disgrace The book was great but the movie is what turned twilight into a joke. Kristen Stewart can't act, in fact she is unbelievably horrible and robert Pattison is pretty awful too. Maybe if they had gotten another director and better actors they could of done twilight justice. Instead they butchered it and idiotic girls who never read the book fan girl over this crappy movie.

Samia Amjad February 15, 2014
