_Twilight_ becomes both much more funny and much more bearable when you are familiar with the genre and take it as the film equivalent of a shōjo manga or otome game, including all the same tropes. Under these criteria, it's actually a pretty fun movie. Hot Take: If you can tolerate James Bond movies but this one somehow makes you feel weird, perhaps it's because you're more used to or more comfortable with male fantasies of sexual desirability.…

after all these years, it's still a fine movie. yes, it's corny, and most depicted relationships are not the healthiest and cross several boundaries.. but it's fun and escapist and comforting, if only because it reminds me of simpler times. the cinematography and the twilight filter if you will are mildly iconic and like it or not they work for painting the mood and the setting of the story. and the soundtrack is a 10/10.

I'm a fan off all vampire related things, but this is just an insult. Also, why was the CGI so bad? Was all the budget to make them shine?!

Though often dismissed as a vampire love story (even though most vampire films are, going all the way back to Dracula), Twilight uses it’s romantic themes to explore interesting social and philosophical issues. The story follows a young girl named Bella Swan who moves to Forks, Washington, to live with her father and soon falls for a mysterious boy at her high-school, but she soon starts to suspect that he may be a vampire after he displays…

When this movie came out, everyone was talking about it and I remember the girls in my class were in love with it and with the male characters. I have personally never been interested in watching it but I have decided to give it a try and see for myself what all the fuss was about. I liked the music and the visuals are okay but it is a boring love story full of clichés : the awkward new girl in school is attracted to the mysterious and popular…
