Total Film - Ken McIntyre | Screenrush Barometer:  |

'Grey on the surface but florid underneath, this swoony supernatural romance may amuse and bemuse non-initiates but won't leave the faithful betrayed. The $70m opening Stateside will create plenty of sequel opportunities to fix the flaws.' |

The Independent - Anthony Quinn | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'It gets a little silly, at times, particularly in the special-effects department, but Stewart and Pattinson are a quite mesmerising pair, and their twitchy, sidelong glances play out a duet of unspoken yearning that might just get under your skin.' |
|
The Times - James Christopher | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'a supernatural sex education movie for lovesick Goths... The anguish is exquisite.' |
|
Time Out - Trevor Johnston | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Some will find it all too polite, but compared to rival blockbuster exercises in explosive CGI mayhem, its character-based index of longing and protectiveness at least provides a viable alternative moodscape.' |
|
The Daily Telegraph - John Hiscock | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'The movie is everything the millions of teens who have devoured Myer's four books in the Twilight series have been craving, but those unfamiliar with the angst-ridden saga will probably find its lush romanticism and fraught emotional terrain somewhat baffling.' |
|
The Guardian | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Twilight, I suppose somewhat predictably given the target audience, is remarkably non-violent for a film about murderous undead creatures who like to suck the blood from their living human prey. This is a vampire movie with little or no blood' |
