Twilight

Pros: Acting, Writing, Dialogue, Cinematography, Soundtrack, Scenery.
Cons: Visibly teen oriented.

I'm going to begin my review with my rating this time.  After watching Twilight, I was struck by the feel, which seemed targeted to the teen crowd.  However, this love story has some very artistic elements that appealed to me.  So I ...

Pros: Decent acting, good music and scenery
Cons: Poorly written script, not too believable

I waited to see this film for a couple of weeks so that I could avoid the screaming teenage girl crowd.  I've read a few reviews and noticed the incredible difference of opinion concerning the film on this site.  I fall somewhere in the middle ...

Pros: Catnip for females, especially teens.
Cons: Yep, it's another vampire flick.

Genres, like people, show signs of wear over time.  Like a fifty-year-old in a new convertible, the surest sign of midlife is the makeover.  Of late, that's been happening to the vampire genre, which is increasingly less about vampires ...

Pros: Good adaptation from book to movie, good movie all around.
Cons: Bad makeup, some things could have been done better

I finally went to see Twilight with my youngest son.  I read and reviewed the book by Stephenie Meyer back in March 2007, and I was beginning to feel as though I was the only one left who did not see the movie!  I must say that I ...

Pros: Washington is pretty.  At times, Twilight is so bad its good.
Cons: But generally it's just really bad.

I'll admit that I read all four of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels, albeit with a hefty dose of self-loathing. Despite the teen-targeted romance and bland writing style, I thought the series had potential for a decent set of films in the vein of Harry ...

Pros: Mostly true to the book, music soundtrack, aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Some casting and special effect issues

I'm about twenty years too old compared to most of Stephanie Meyer's "fans" of the Twilight series which was written for a juvenile/young adult audience. Of course, that hasn't stopped most of my 30something friends from reading the books, and getting ...

Pros: beautiful landscape. not objectionable story.
Cons: acting. chemistry. writing

It was a girls' night out which included a good friend and her 16 year-old-daughter who has read and loved all the Twilight books. We had a lovely dinner, and then off to the flicks. Twilight would not have been my first choice, but I had no real ...

Pros: excellent soundtrack, good casting, realistic teen angst and decent special effects for budget
Cons: plot overly compressed, a few extra-cheesy additions

How do you cram a 500-page young-adult novel that has had everyone from teens to middle-aged women declaring themselves in love with either a teen vampire or a teen werewolf into a two-hour movie and make it perfect? The new film Twilight ...

Pros: Some scenes had nice charm or humor.  A few good performances.
Cons: I am SO not the audience for this. 

Yes, I saw TWILIGHT.  With a 16 year-old-daughter who has read and loved all the books, and a wife who was corralled into listening to the books-on-tape of them on a long cross-country trip…how could I not go without being a complete ...

Pros: nice pacing, good acting, interesting story with a different spin
Cons: Saturday night date movies are not for everyone, but my wife squeezed my arm!

Before you read my review, please do yourself a favor and read some of the hilarous titles of the other reviews on this movie.   Epinions writers are some of the best!  My compatriots have given this film ratings all over the ...

Pros: Decent enough teenaged love story of sorts
Cons: A little weak in parts

I ended up seeing Twilight because there just were not a lot of choices at the theater the weekend I saw the movie. Out of 15 screens, 4 were showing Bolt(I want to see this, but with my kids) 4 were showing Quantum of Solace(not seeing this unless ...

Pros: Plot is fairly true to the book, good casting (mostly), Great Soundtrack, Great Story.
Cons: So-so Special Effects, Teen Aimed Movie, and it's not the book.

When the Twilight book series first came out I was less than inclined to read it. I thought it was just some silly vampire love story written purely for teenage girls with overly active imaginations. But the book kept gaining more and more hype. ...

Pros: The movie followed the book very well. 
Cons: There were some serious make up issues and the first half didn't flow very well.

I must start by stating that I am a huge fan of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  I have read all four of the books in the series at least twice (some more) and even read the partial of Midnight Sun that Stephenie Meyer put on her website ...

Pros: Good-looking and well-chosen actors
Cons: predictable plot, terrible script, screams cliche

There are only a few things that save Twilight from being completely brutal. At its best, the movie was only downright predictable. At its worst, it was infuriating. A smooth-looking, well-made film, Twilight is the adaptation of the first tome of the ...

Pros: Chemistry between both stars, supporting cast performances
Cons: Poor quality of special effects and makeup is really distracting.

First off, I'm not a fan of vampires. The only two literary creations involving the creatures which struck my fancy were Bram Stoker's masterpiece, Dracula and Steven King's more modern epic, Salem's Lot. They just don't strike my fancy. ...
