Product Description

Summit Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Blu-ray) The big-screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teenwho could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves tothe rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live withher dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because shesmells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not allof which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks thepart, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) ispalpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to T

Customer Reviews

Twilight
While not as close to the first book as I'd like, it's a pretty good movie. When I initially saw it, I really disliked it but my friend told me to give it another chance and he was right, the more you watch it, the more it grows on you. Pretty good interpretation of the story, if not completely accurate, but what based-on-a-book movies are?

Over Priced
I don't know why people are selling this item for this outrageous price! It is still available at Target and was on sale for $30.00! I bought it there earlier this week.

Not the book - but for the movie good
Of course it doesn't follow the book like every book lovers wish. But as a movie it holds its own for entertainment. I wish the relationship with the rest of the family went deeper in the movie but surely they will have to work on that for the next movies since it is so important in the following books.
