Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed watching this film being a fan of the books, but the film just doesnt deliver the way the book does. It misses things out and adds things in. Obviously this does happen during turning a book into a major movie. The soundtrack is very fitting and there are some cracking songs in there as well as some bluesy ballads that accompany the action in the film perfectly. Twilight is a must see for those who have read the books, and Robert Pattinson just makes it that little bit better.

Anyone who loved the books will also love the film!! You can tell at certain parts that this was quite low budget but it doesn’t spoil anything as the story in itself is so good and i’m just happy bto be staring at Edward Cullen the whole time anyway!

When I saw this movie I didn’t know anything. I hadn’t read the books. I didn’t know what the whole Twilight-thing was all about. And I didn’t know who Robert Pattinson was. This was March 2010 and before you ask, yes, I had just crawled from under a stone. I didn’t have any expectations and I was just looking for some entertainment when I picked up this DVD (a Christmas present) from my shelf. During the film, I raised my eyebrows more than once. I snorted at some of the lines. After the closing credits I was still oblivious. What was so special about Twilight? And what was all the fuss over Pattinson about? It was a nice enough film but still. I congratulated myself for not falling for this merchandise and then I went and started my computer and searched for every piece of information I could about the Twilight Saga. And Robert Pattinson. Damn. Be careful, it really is most addictive.

I am so pleased I got what I ordered! The start of the obsession!

I hadn’t read the books when i watched Twilight, but had heard the hype. I was not disappointed and fell in love with Edward, just like everyone else. This is a must watch for any girl/women who loves to love!

Saw the film, read the books – needed to own it, so I can rewatch over and over.

Twilight – 2 Disc Special Edition [DVD] [2008]

Absolutely fabulous. I watched the film before the the ‘Extras’ disc. I wish I hadn’t. Having read all the Twilight Saga books first, I was initially disappointed with the film. However, I changed my mind after watching the ‘Extras’ disc. It explains a lot about the making of the film, why particular parts of the book weren’t included, interviews with the cast and Stephenie Meyers -too much to mention here but it all enhances your enjoyment of the film. When I watched Twilight over again I thought, ‘Yeh, now I understand’. It rocks. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. Just purchased New Moon – Two Disc Special Edition. I’d go for the Special Editions everytime from now on. You just get so much more from the film.

I fell in the group that had never read the Stephanie Meyers books, but I recently needed something new to watch having worked my way through my current DVD collection for the umpteenth time, and I was told that this wasn’t a sloppy love story film between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kirsten Stewart). They were right.

I bought the single disc version and I enjoyed it regardless of all my preconceptions and started to want to know more, so I splashed out for the 2-disc version to see if that would give me anything extra – it did, but even with all the extras added, it was still unfulfilling.

After watching the film on DVD I decided to give “New Moon” on DVD a try as well, but there has always seemed to be something missing.

Finally, in desperation, I bought the books and started reading. I really shouldn’t have been surprised when, suddenly Bella, stopped being the vacuous, petulant brat that she appeared to be on first viewing Twilight – on the subsequent viewings I could understand what Kirsten Stewart was trying to portray.

One thing this did prove is that the films missed so much of the important information out that it was necessary to read the books to discover the background of the characters – explanations regarding Carlisle (Peter Facinelli), Esme (Elizabeth Reaser), Alice (Ashley Greene), Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), Emmett (Kellan Lutz) and Rosalie (Nikki Reed), which were missing are now filled out and I understand them more.

Only once you’ve read the books and the background information (that is missing from the films) you realise the different powers that each of the vampires has, and the possible reasoning behind the way they act.

What I don’t understand is why they left out all the information that James says about Alice – it seems important, but I haven’t read all the books yet.

The film is still great though, and it has encouraged me to read the books which I am thoroughly enjoying – something which I never thought would have happened; but then again, I thought they were just sloppy teen romances (mainly because that was the area of the bookshop they were in).

My favourite scene has to be the Cullen family baseball game – it is fun to watch and sets up the family dynamic very nicely. Team Jacob fans will be more disappointed as this is definitely a Team Edward film, Jacob only appears in a couple of brief scenes during the film.

The film’s subtitles and audio track are in English only; and there is no audio description. The movie disc contains an audio commentary with Robert Pattinson, Kirsten Stewart and Director Catherine Hardwicke.

The 2-disc is definitely worth the extra pound or two – the extras include some of the cutting floor scenes.

I hope that at sometime in the future (preferably the near future) they will release a full “director’s cut” version with all the extra footage added.

What a wonderful love story this is! Being a bit of a romantic soul myself, I was sucked into the sweet but angst ridden world of Edward ( a rather handsome and seemingly tortured 17 year old vampire) and Bella ( a shy, accident prone 17 year old human),and watched them overcome their own fear of their feelings and fall completely in love. All is not rosy in the garden though, as James, a sadistic vampire from another coven takes a shine to our Bella and decides to hunt her, this turns into a race for Edward and his vampire family, to get Bella to safety before disposing of James in their vampire fashion! This is a great movie that’s completely different from the usual vampire flick, its exceedingly good to watch and its vampire cast are all excellent and if that’s not enough its accompanied by a stonkingly great sound track!! Both movie and sound track were a big hit with me and my frustratingly fussy 13 year old as well. So, yeah, I would definitely recommend this movie!!

I had never read the Twilight books when I went to see the movie. I vaguely remember the hype of Breaking Dawn’s release, but it didn’t mean anything to me. I saw the queues for the opening of the film and it meant nothing to me, apart from about 3000 people in Dublin being stupid enough to queue for hours in the rain to see a film.

I love vampires and werewolves though, so, at a loose end one weekend, I convinced my boyfriend that it wasnt a horror, and there was nothing else to do. we laughed for about the first hour. it was very funny. But by the middle of the tree top scene I was hooked. we both were.

I rushed home and ordered all four books that night. I read the series straight through twice, and dragged my mom to see the film with me. (I’m in my mid 20′s, she’s considerably older….)I sat, completely unmoving the whole way through the move. it was like I was greeting old friends. once I knew the story, all of the humour went out of the film, and it became totally engrossing. my mom thought so too.

lots of little things were changed, obviously. the book is better. obviously. I didnt like Stewert (?) as Bella. she played her as too self assured, too graceful. it wasnt Bella for me. But Pattinson brought Edward to life in a way that was so different. I actually liked him more after seeing the film that in the books.

Kellan Lutz is missing the dimples and curls but hes still the same adorable, deep as a puddle Emmet we all love.

the film is more of a companion to the book, it makes the scenery solid. I thought that was actually a plus of the movie, I knew what the characters looked like, I was a little fuzzy on what their neighbourhood was like. the film filled that in. when midnight Sun is published the three will stand together to give a 360 view of Bella and the Cullens world.

WIll I buy the DVD? yes. WIll I watch it a million times, of course. but I’ll read the books one million and one
