Critics Consensus

Having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen, Twilight will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated.

Ten years after its release, Twilight stands as a powerful, darkly stylish depiction of teen female desire.

My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema.

A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set.

Rated: 2.5/5

Twilight is a designed film, with rigorous casting and a somewhat predictable script. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Deep Focus Review

Though director Catherine Hardwicke’s movie shouldn’t be labeled unsuccessful, it’s certainly uneven.

Rated: 2.5/4

The sequels became increasingly silly and overwrought but the original Twilight (2008) is actually kind of interesting even if you are not a devotee of the fan fic-turned-bestseller series.
