Is anyone planning on seeing this? I admit I have never read a single sentence of one of the novels and I realize they are extremely popular..but, man, the trailers for this look utterly craptastic. I'm watching these two vampires leapfrog around the forest and I keep thinking to myself "If only Keifer Sutherland or Chris Sarandon would pop out and rip these twerps in two just to show them what vampirism is all about." These wusses wouldn't last fifteen seconds stacked against the vampires from 30 Days of Night. Paging Mr.Barlow.

My gal has read at least a few of the novels, which means that I will probably wind up seeing this movie with her at some point. Ohhh, the things we do for love.

Yeah, try telling a five-months pregnant woman that you're NOT going to watch The Notebook. |

My wife read the novels and is as psyched about this movie as any I have ever seen her. I'll probably never see any of the films, but if people dig it, more power to them.

It looks weak to us because it's not a horror movie. It's a romantic movie involving a vampire, and in later books a werewolf. It's basically Romeo and Juliet meet The Underworld. To each his own.
On a side note, my wife has already bought the soundtrack and it's not bad.

I aint gonna knock this movie at all because sitting through it is almost garenteed ass. Sitting in my lit class today and overheard a bunch of girls talking about it saying about how they were so excited to see it this weekend. After class moised my way over to this one girl and said something to the effect that I was into vampire movies as well, (didnt specify which kind) but said she should see it with me. She was psyched about it so the two hour run time should be worth it.

THAT is a very good point. Hope it works out for you. |

I don't know man. I mean, how much is it worth to you? I had the same mindset when entering THE NOTEBOOK. I'd rather never see a pair of chesticles or meat flaps in my life then have to sit through that shit again. |

I'm with you GMG. great, you go to score and then it doesn't happen, so the only ass you get is the Hershey squirt factory occupying the screen. In deference to the previous comment posted about it not being a horror movie.. if the intent was to not advertise this as a horror film, then the advertising firm responsible blew it. The way the trailer I've seen is laid out, they are heavily playing up the fact that a vampire is trying to kill the girl and her beloved is going to protect her. It comes across as more of a horror/action film with a romantic subplot rather than a romance which happens to have vampires. |

Just have to find the right type of girl to take. The one who I overheard talking about having read all of the books and is just wet thinking of the movie hit the screen. 2 hour runtime is worth it cause thats not the type of girl I usually go for so I wouldnt even have to work to get it at all. Just gonna get baked before the movie and catch myself a two hour nap.

Yeah, I read an article where they talked about having to play up those parts of the movie in the ads in an effort to get guys to go see it. They have a built in female audience, so they're very concerned about it appealing to males. I don't think that's going to happen. |

It all happened within the past week. I saw a girl reading the book on lunch break. Next day she was raving. More women reading the book over lunch break. Raving. Yesterday one is reading Twilight: The Illustrated Movie Companion. She and a group of woman debating over so and so looking more evil than so in so and this guy wearing jeans even though the book clearly states he only wear khakis. My god, what's next? Coloring books? I want to shoot myself.
