What do you guys think of the Twilight movie?

The new movie, Twilight, came out. What do you guys think about it?
Was it like the book?
Did it meet expectations?

Edit:
The movie, I think, was great. It was funny in most scenes. I thought that the actual plot was confusing though. I don't think it was like the book. The book was better in my opinion.

I didn't bother going, or reading the books because I don't like Vampire fiction, and because prepubescent girls have ****ty taste.

Apparently, the movie was not like the book, but I chose to avoid both, because one, I am not a fan of such things, and two, the idea didn't sound very good. Yet somehow, the movie was succesful...

I dunno, I loved Nacho Libre. I don't see why so many people hate it.

Because it was horrible and highly unfunny, the jokes were pathetically written, and it overall sucked.

The only hing it's good for is quoting, and toilet paper. As a movie, 0/10.

I'm with Rabish on the Nacho Libre thing. Terrible, terrible, unfunny movie. Almost as unfunny as Seinfeld.

As for Twilight? A terrible movie based on an even more terrible book. Disgusting tripe, is what it is. You want a real book? Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett.

Sadly Sadly it is not. Although I wouldn't have minded had a helicopter fallen on the stars of this film.

IMO it is tripe intended for teenage girls supporting the ludicrous fantasy of them finding their Prince Charming and love winning no matter what. Pure B.S. But if anyone else likes it, that's no problem with me.

Nothing against teenagers, being one myself, but they were the reason as to why Alien vs Predator Requiem sucked above expected.

Well, the only way to describe it is:

First off, they twist and bend the whole vampire thing more than a crazy bendy straw, for example, if a Vampire goes out in the sunlight, they look like they bathed in glitter.
BULLS***
If a Vampire goes into the sun, that is it, they're dead, bye bye.
The movie is so very bad, and it sickens me that everyone and their mother wants to have Edward Cullen's (right name?) babies, possibly because of the emo vampire thing.
Why love vampires? They suck human blood and kill people for gods sake!
All I want to know after this movie is how this:

Not for me.

As for the movie: Pure teenage soap opera, where the name vampire is ruined.

Advice for all the fangirls (and boys ):

Go see Nosferatu or Dracula. Better, read Dracula.

It (Twilight) might have been a comical hit if it was about zombies instead of vampires. I never seen a movie about love sick zombies before.

Meh....it could happen in the horror fantasy world.

I don't think zombies have the capacity to be in abusive relationships.

Agreed, normally that would be the case according to how horror fiction use to be written. Once upon a time, most of these monsters were just blood-sucking, brain-eating, flesh-ripping ghoulish fiends with about as much emotion as an animal would have in the wilds; mostly lust and fear. Even the old vampire was out for a meal and not really interested in a long term relationship with it's pray. The little love drama that he would fake with his female pray was just a ruse to suck the life out of her, or blood as it eventually became evident, in the old media we use read and see.

But now, today's horror fantasy writers have apparently changed the rules, or should I say the evil characters themselves to a loving, life-saving, "Love me and don't leave me, because I want to be yours forever and have your baby" kinda BS monster. So I wouldn't put it past them to write such a comical zombie love triangle in the future, or some other weird crap that makes most people really wanna hurl.

Mark my words, they'll do it - the film makers will write something like that because it's the kinda crap that makes money nowdays.

Anyway, just give me movies like Blade, Howling 1,2 and 3 or even the old vampire and wolfman/werewolf movies from the early 20's to the mid 90's and I'll watch that anyday instead of this BS Twilight. At least those old movies were somewhat realistic.
