Editorial Reviews

Summit Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Blu-ray) The big-screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teenwho could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves tothe rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live withher dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because shesmells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not allof which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks thepart, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) ispalpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to T

This review is from: Twilight (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)

I bought this movie as my first Blu-ray movie after recently purchasing a new player since this is one of my favorite movies. The blu-ray version of this movie is filled with things that are not noticable in the original version and it makes it that much more AMAZING to watch! The colors are more vibrant and the textures add so much more to the movie than I ever would have though possible. If you love this movie you should definitly purchase this DVD in blu-ray! Worth every penny!

While not as close to the first book as I'd like, it's a pretty good movie. When I initially saw it, I really disliked it but my friend told me to give it another chance and he was right, the more you watch it, the more it grows on you. Pretty good interpretation of the story, if not completely accurate, but what based-on-a-book movies are?

I read all four books in the saga and have seen all the movies so far. The story is fun and Edward is my knight in shining (sparkling?) armor. This is a good read for all ages even though it is a young adult book. It is more of a love story than a horror book, but has action in it for everyone. I have read all the books several times and watched the movies over and over. The movies keep pretty close to the books. Can't get enough.
