At the risk of being booed out of this cyber-room, I have to state my opinion. I am a woman, who loves the Twighlight series, and (gulp) one who coerced her significant other into reading them. He (who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons) is sort of a “he-man” kinda guy. He’s an athlete and a professional, and he liked the books. We both liked the movie. Sometimes one should not get caught up in the cinematography, plausibility or other points that one always hits on when criticizing a movie (the same critics usually look the other way, when it’s something they like). If a book or movie takes you into a world and makes you want to be there, in my view, it wins. You don’t have to like this movie, or read the books, but you really should give those of us who have, a wee bit of credit. I don’t want everything I read or watch be a comment on society with overtones of pretentiousness. This movie was fun for fans. DISCLAIMER: If you didn’t read the books, there were many missing pieces and parts that would have made it confusing and dissatisfied. Only fans will be truly satiated. I was. “He” was.

Where did this Twilight come from….
a few months ago I was blissfully ignorant the the books and the movie, then all of a sudden I can’t go a day without it being referenced by someone. I hope it’s an overnight fad of sorts, cause it’s definitely not for me.

I would never tell anyone this, but I’m pretty sure if I read the books, I’d enjoy them. It’s not like they’re going to be any worse than a Dan Brown novel. I do enjoy my guilty pleasures.

I love unintentional humor, especially when a film is trying too hard. In all fairness, I have yet to see the movie, but I admit to have moderately enjoyed the book. It’s super emo!

I loved the book, so I am looking forward to the film, but not that much anymore…lol.

Well, you know that I’m a huge fan of the books but I sort of agree with your review of the movie. There was just so much wrong with the movie. It was very disappointing.

I didn't read the book and I don't intend to go watch Twilight. From I've heard, the love story is so corny. Besides, I guess that you decided to watch it because you were saying to yourself: "All right, readers, here's the review of Twilight and I don't ask me further questions about the movie! Happy, now?" As for your statement about female significant others who should read Fight Club, here in Canada, it's like asking our significant others to spend a night watching a hockey playoff game.

I read the book, but only out of curiosity…I picked it up on my own accord without any “female pressure”. Know what? I didn’t like it too much – but it’s light years better than the movie they made out of it.

You’re absolutely right – especially as a guy, there is *no* reason to see this movie.

That was a reference to Arrested Development, a critically acclaimed, Emmy nominated Television show any good movie blogger would know about. I bet Mitch knows about it. OH SNAP!
