The Hollywood Reporter posted a positive review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, saying the film "nails it".[129] Variety reports that the film "finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves".[130] One review stated the film was the best in The Twilight Saga so far, acknowledging that, "The person who should be worried is Bill Condon, the director tapped for the two-part finale, Breaking Dawn. He's got a real challenge to make movies as good as Eclipse."[131] A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised David Slade's ability to make an entertaining film, calling it funny and better than its predecessors, but pointed out the acting hasn't improved much.[132]
I know this is pretty random, but I heard a quote the other day that captures the beef that I have with the Twilight movies. It was said a few years ago by author Stephen King (you may have heard of him...I think he has sold a few books). His quote was comparing the themes of the Twilight books with the Harry Potter books.

In no way do I want to start a debate about the rightness or wrongness of Harry Potter, so please don't email me about that. I haven't read the books or seen the movies. The point has nothing to do with Harry Potter.
Our girls' emotions are being constantly bombarded with messages that suggest that they need a boy to love them. Friends, movies, and even parents hold this ideal before them. The sad thing is that I don't think there are very many teenage guys out there who are even remotely capable of truly loving a girl selflessly. Certainly not to Edwardian standards. While vampire-boy may protect and care for his girl effectively, most of the teenage boys I know don't have a clue what "guarding a girl" looks like. They aren't mean-spirited...they are just clueless.
I recently forced myself to watch these God Awful movies so that I could do this and actually know what I was talking about. I am not one of those guys who cannot stand romance, I actually like romantic movies to an extent. However, this series goes over the top with it and the whole sparkly vampire thing really pisses me off, I am a traditionalist, I expect vampires to explode in flames in sunlight. However I sucked it up and watched these films so I could accurately explain why I hate them and after seeing them I hate them even more. This is why the movies suck but it can also probably be extended to why the books suck too.
5.The romance was unbearable in these movies. Everyone was paired off and lovey dovey and it was so ridiculous. The thick romance and the drama that goes along with it really took away from the movies and the plot. I am certain this is what self-destructs this series.
Well those are my biggest hang ups about these movies and more importantly the books. The messages it sends is wrong and just disgusting. As movies, they were weak as hell and poorly done. I will NEVER watch these movies again.
Are you sure it is Anna Sophia Robb who is due credit, and not Dakota Fanning? Fanning was the one portraying Jane (or something similar-sounding) in the movies. However, I cannot find Anna Sophia Robb listed as part of the cast. They do look alike though!
Of course, the books likely spend much more time developing their relationship, and when I first watched the movies, I probably had all the information I needed. But today, I had no idea why I was supposed to be rooting for these two crazy kids to beat the odds and be together.
Love 'em or hate 'em, you cannot deny that the Twilight series and its ensuing movie franchise inhabited our collective conscious for a good handful of years. Worldwide, the movies grossed $3.3 billion. But sparkly vampires and strange, interpersonal themes aside, perhaps the biggest sin The Twilight Saga film series committed concerned Edward Cullen's car.
When my roommate discovered that I had never seen the series, she immediately insisted that we change that. So, we set out to watch the five (5!) movies over a few weeks, with our first showing taking place on, of course, Halloween. We got progressively more invested as we finished each one, and by the very end, I was a fully converted Twilight groupie with a whole lot of opinions about the series.
Meyer's personal life and outlook also have a major influence on her novels. Stephenie Meyer is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so she doesn't drink alcohol or coffee, smoke, or watch R-rated movies. Subsequently, the characters in her novels live by this moral code. You won't find drinking, drugs, bad language, or gratuitous sex in Meyer's work because the author firmly believes that books don't need them to captivate teens. Meyer's characters also struggle with ethical dilemmas. Characters in the Twilight novels are often met with temptation and forced to find self-control to do what is right versus doing what they desire to do. These themes are connected to Meyer's strong religious beliefs as well.
Yes, Bella Swan is just as awkward and clumsy in the books as she is in the movies. But there are some key differences between the Bella of the movies and Bella in the books. For one, Bella in the novels is much more strong-willed and opinionated than her film counterpart. When Edward proposes marriage, Bella doesn't say yes right away, and she questions getting married so young. In the books, Bella is often described as cooking at home for her and her father, Charlie, while in the movies, Bella and Charlie eat at the diner a lot.
The Cullen Family Crest is another detail added for the movies. In the films, each member of the Cullen family prominently wears a version of the family crest at all times. This is not mentioned in the books at all.
The character of Lauren Mallory is omitted from the movies. In the books, Lauren is one of Bella's main antagonistic relationships at school. Lauren and Jessica Stanley both seem to actively hate Bella. In the movies, Lauren and Jessica are combined into one character, Jessica, who seems to be jealous of Bella but doesn't outright hate her.
In the book, Jasper is no longer in high school, because he was posing as a senior the year before. But in the movies, Jasper is in the same grade as Edward and Bella, so he is still attending high school.
The New Moon movie is a little more action-packed than the book. Part of this is because we're not limited to Bella Swan's point of view in the movies, so we get to see what other characters are doing. For instance, when Harry and Charlie are in the woods hunting what they believe to be a bear (spoiler: it's a vampire), we get to see Harry be attacked. We also get to see Jacob step in to fight back firsthand. In the books, because the story is told from Bella's perspective, we only hear about this happening later.
One of the biggest differences between the Eclipse movie and the book is Edward's controlling behavior when it comes to Bella and her friendship with Jacob. In both the book and the movie, Edward discourages Bella from seeing Jacob, but in the book, he takes it much further. Edward actually encourages his sister Alice to kidnap Bella so that she won't go spend time with Jacob while he is away. Eventually, in the books, Edward decides he's okay with Bella seeing Jacob. In the movies, he never warms up to their friendship.
This is the book where Jacob gets much, much taller. By Eclipse, Jacob is nearly seven feet tall. In the movies, Jacob (played by Taylor Lautner) stays around the same height because, well, the actor remained the same height.
The Twilight books are pretty dramatic, but the movies really amp it up. For example, in the Eclipse book, Edward is able to kill the vicious vampire Victoria without too much drama. In the Eclipse movie, Edward is nearly killed in the struggle and Bella has to cut herself to distract Victoria.
One significant storyline in the novel Breaking Dawn is Jacob's budding friendship and alliance with the Cullens following Bella's marriage to Edward. In the book, Jacob finds an unlikely friendship with Alice, Edward's sister. Alice starts developing headaches because of Renesmee, Edward and Bella's hybrid daughter, and her inability to see the baby's future. But being around Jacob cancels out her headaches. This healing friendship is not shown at all in the movies.
I was just wondering if anyone else noticed how messed up the timeline is for twilight. For example, in the first movie, I always thought the movie took place around 2008-2009 but when I search it up it says that that the movie took place in 2005. This is confusing because when they met they were juniors and when they got married they had just graduated, but the date on the wedding invitations said the year was 2011, and there is no way that the movies spanned over 6 years.; Also it says that Bella was turned into a vampire in 2006, but she was married before she was turned. So I am just trying to figure the timeline of these movies to where they make sense and was wondering if anyone else had noticed it.
[Referring to the movies] Ever wondered what would happen if Edward did not stop Victoria from running away from the fight? Im imagining that she would have continued to live and watched Bella turned into a vampire, and probably hunted Renesmee down instead. Or she would also provoke the Volturi like/ more than Irina did.

Parents need to know that Twilight is the first installment in the fantasy action series based on author Stephenie Meyer's hugely popular book series. Like the novel, the movie has an intensely romantic -- and sometimes problematic -- relationship between a vampire and a human. Expect a few kisses and several stares, hand touches, and embraces. One make-out session takes place on a bed with a girl in her underwear, but it's abruptly stopped. The movie's violence is mostly implied, but one scene involves vampires, blood, a bitten human with a broken limb, and decapitation/burning of a body. There's also sexual harassment when a group of men follows a girl into an alley -- she's saved by a man before anything further happens. Directed by a female filmmaker, Twilight does have a female lead, but one who falls into stereotypes and revolves her life around a man. Native American actors play Quileute tribe members in positive supporting roles. Language includes "hell" and "oh my God" (as an exclamation). Characters occasionally handle unopened cans of beer (no one drinks). Despite the violence and scares, main characters demonstrate courage and perseverance.
