Then she meets Edward Cullen, a handsome but mysterious teen whose eyes seem to peer directly into her soul.

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.

2.5/4

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

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.
