iAfrica.com Lisa Human things improve in the second half: the story becomes a little more engaging, with rare moments revealing that Twilight did have potential somewhere... somehow. | 5 | |
The Citizen Natalie Bosman If I had to swallow a teen love story in any format, the vampire angle beats the likes of college road trips and sorority balls. | 12 | |
24.com Shaheema Barodien With such a beautiful cast and smoking hot love story, Twilight has hit movie written all over it. But all those good looks are only masking the mediocrity that lies beneath. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Twilight will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers. Their mothers know all too much about boys like this. | 13 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli This is a Harlequin romance by way of Dark Shadows. If it was a little better made and more tightly plotted, it might satisfy the requirements of a guilty pleasure. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Bummer. The vampires have no fangs. The humans are humdrum. The special effects and makeup define cheeseball. But there’s a reason that Twilight has already become the movie equivalent of a bestseller: The love story has teeth. | 13 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Appropriately titled, Twilight is rather dim any way you cut (or bite) into it and thus rates as a 3 out of 10, mainly for being so bad it actually generates some unintentional laughs and brief moments of guilty pleasure. | 6 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen, Twilight will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated | 9 | |
