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 teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her 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 she smells 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 all of 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 the part, 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) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to Twilight fans most. --Ellen A. Kim
On the DVD
The special features for Twilight kick off with an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There's some mumbling and groaning from Stewart (one gets the impression that Stewart is quite similar to her reserved character in the film), some standard behind-the-scenes observations from Hardwicke, and a lot of awkward self-deprecating remarks from Pattinson (of their big kiss, he opines: "This is quite difficult 'cause I have a really flat head, and so it's quite difficult to get a correct angle."). What's funny is Pattinson stumping Hardwicke with some basic plot questions, like "Why doesn't James just kill [Bella when she's packing at her house]?" While Hardwicke and Stewart attempt to answer, Pattinson doesn't appear satisfied. The deleted and extended scenes include an additional dream-sequence kiss (rightly cut because it took away from the buildup to their first kiss) and more footage of Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre). The seven-part documentary is a pretty thorough look at the development of the film, including stunts, special effects, and the involvement of author Stephenie Meyer. Another featurette looks at the Comic-Con frenzy; however, it spends no time on how the actors were cast, which would have been fun for fans who did all their own mental casting while reading the books. Also included: three music videos and trailers. --Ellen A. Kim Twilight at Amazon.com

 Still in wrapper March 13, 2010
Fancy (AZ, USA)
This Blu Ray arrived still in its shrink-wrap, as advertised. I haven't watched it yet ...
 an edition worth buying unlike new moons 2 disc special edition March 12, 2010
bella (Australia)
from my last review of the new moon 2 disc edition i felt it was my duty to review the first in the twilight saga "twilight" i understand there are new fans everyday and they may be slightly put off by my review for the second movie about the content.
Twilight does deliver what any 2 disc edition should.
deleted scenes, production videos and featurettes, music videos...just to name a few.
of course this edition does not include the becoming of bella nor becoming edward the piano concert and vampire kiss montage as well is not inclued like it is on the UK edition of the 2 disc and blu-ray.
picture is alot clearer and kristen stewarts voice is original NOT DUBBED like europian / australian edition which is a plus.
story content is what you would expect from a vampire/human TEENAGE relationship.
Like the books the main character of Bella Swan does get repetitive and she is simply lost within a spell of the dark mysterious Edward Cullen. even though i am a massive fan of the twilight saga Bellas attitude and the lengths she will go to get what she wants just get pathetic.
If your not going to take the storyline too seriously or get offended it is definately worth it.
i do reccomend people watch the movie and give it a chance rememeber this review is just one of my own.
it is quite faithful to the book minus the train of bellas thoughts and nauseating dialogue in a way if you are new to the twilight saga i would actually reccomend watching the movie before the book. Of the US versions of this dvd, this is definately the one to buy. from what i believe the content is the same on the blu-ray
Wow March 12, 2010

 Zits and fangs. March 10, 2010
Bryan M. Tucker (baltimore)
Being a person that actually does read literature, I immediately saw the dollar signs flashing in front of the author and the movie company that wrote and released this drivel. What better way to cash in on the recent Vampire craze due to first the Anne Rice novels and then the HBO series "True Blood." The next logical step was to create a series for teenage girls (and a few effeminate teenage guys) who consider this to be great literature and who probably also enjoy American Idol and other such mind-numbing foolishness. I finally put myself through the hour and 45 minutes during a bed-laden Saturday. I laughed all the way through it. The script could easily have been written by 4th graders. There isn't much point in my complaining further because if the script sucks, the movie can't be saved. Hats off though... I wish I'd thought of turning folklore into
puberty stricken angst.
Save yourselves teenies. Grab Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. You want blood and sex written on an adult level, there is your source. Stop reading and watching this crap unless you want to be dribbling spit and muttering nonsense to yourself by the time you are 30.

I absolutely loved this movie and can't wait for the rest of the series to be brought out on DVD.
