A quick summary of the reviews, after the jump.
What Hardwicke cant quite triumph over is the books lackluster plot.
On screen,Twilightis repetitive and a tad sodden, too prosaic to really soar.

On a simple but crucial
matter of visual magic.
situations, in high school and among the vampires, are over-familiar.
But the dialogue is mostly flip and hip.
Some of the laughs are
intentional, some not.
A vampire using the word vegetarian?
Sometimes thats all its about, isnt it?
