The Daily Mail - Chris Tookey | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'A sure-fire hit' |
|
The Financial Times - Nigel Andrews | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Somehow it all works. This is sexual-Gothic tripe of a high order. I am looking forward to the second instalment.' |
|
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Twilight is mad, bad and deeply unwholesome to know, and perhaps, in its serious way, the most entertaining teen film since 10 Things I Hate About You' |
|
Empire - Will Lawrence | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery.' |
|
The Boston Globe - Ty Burr | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'In most other respects, 'Twilight' the movie is unerringly faithful to the source without being hamstrung by it. This isn't a Xerox like Ron Howard's dirt-dull "The Da Vinci Code," but rather a cinematic amplification.' |
|
New Yorker - David Denby | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'A genuine love story might be difficult for a young audience to handle, but this fantasy is blissful madness?an abstinence fable sexier than sex.' |
|
New York Times - Manohla Dargis | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set.' |
|
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.' |
