Plot Summary: "Twilight" is an action-packed, modern-day love story
between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always
been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls
at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live
with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't
expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly
beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met.
Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that
they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees
straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling
and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for – a
soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the
primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.
But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam
Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town
and threaten to disrupt their way of life
EN 5 Second Review:
Gold for its core audience of girls age 10-17. Pure crap
for the rest of us. Supernatural baseball indeed.
The
soggy adaptation of the vampire-lit phenom is for converts only. Christopher Orr: New Republic
Twilight is silly and melodramatic and hard to dislike in
much the same way as its target audience, with a distinctly teenage
sense of tragedy...more
Basically
“Dawson’s Creek” with people who are a little bit more pale Phil Villareal: Arizona Daily Star
I'm glad I saw Twilight for one reason: It made the phrase
jump the shark obsolete, to be potentially replaced with The
vampires are playing baseball...more
