twilight movie reviews are in

reviews are in and seems like the vampire has no fangs!

from: VARIETY
"...a disappointingly anemic tale of forbidden love that should satiate the pre-converted but will bewilder and underwhelm viewers who haven't devoured Stephenie Meyer's bestselling juvie chick-lit franchise."

"But even with angsty rock songs, lurching camerawork and emo-ish voiceover at her disposal, Hardwicke can't get inside the head of her young protagonist, Isabella "Bella" Swan (Kristen Stewart); consequently, Bella's decision to get hot and heavy with a hot-and-hungry vampire, far from seeming like an act of mad, transgressive passion, comes across as merely stupid and ill-considered. The result is a supernatural romance in which the supernatural and romantic elements feel rushed, unformed and insufficiently motivated, leaving audiences with little to do but shrug and focus on the eye-candy."

"Chase-thriller endgame seems to sputter to a halt when it's barely begun."


more reviews on rotten tomatoes.... they rated it 44%... yikes!

  7. it's not that bad naman eh...

    watched it thrice yesterday...

    mediocre nga lang ang effects and ndi msyado na-develop and romantic affair ni bella and edward sa movie pero kng iisipin nyo, low-budget lang ung film and ito ang first movie adaptation of the saga...

    let's just hope that the second film would be better...

    all i can say is ang galing ng portrayal ni charlie, jessica, mike, and eric... hehehe! nakakatawa! :)
