Early Twilight Reviews Not Terrible
Cinema Blend News — ... expect. The critical consensus is, so far, fairly middle of the road. It’s not a life changing epic, but it’s not as bad as The Covenant either, a terrible film to which the trailers seem to draw an unavoidable comparison. Here’s a quick look at some of what’s being said about Twilight so far. Expect reviews on Cinema Blend from both Katey and me, as soon as they let us post them. “ Twilight ” will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers. – Roger Ebert, 2.5/4 “A supernatural romance in which the supernatural and romantic elements feel ...

"Twilight" Teen Girls Vs. Critics
:: The Playlist :: — ... One corner "Twilight" isn't counting on are the critics. Although Jeffrey Wells may have endorsed it, Roger Ebert is having none of it and gives "Twilight" two and a half stars. His review reads like we expect many reviews from male critics to read - completely oblivious to the idea that "Twilight" is actually based around the female lead and impatient with all the teenage lust that's central to the story. Ebert's review at times seems kind of creepily personalized, for example: ...

'Twilight' Watch: Reviews, Box Office and More!
Cinematical — ... giving the film a B and Roger Ebert giving it 2.5 out of 4 stars (I imagine that's a sideways thumb?). Cinematical will publish our first review (out of two) later on tonight, but in the meantime here's a whole bunch of Twilight stuff to keep you busy: ...

“Twilight” Premiere And Reviews
FilmoFilia — ... “…If there were no vampires in “Twilight,” it would be a thin-blooded teenage romance, about two good-looking kids who want each other so much because they want each other so much. Sometimes that’s all it’s about, isn’t it? They’re in love with being in love. In “Twilight,” however, they have a seductive disagreement about whether he should kill her.” (Roger Ebert) full story ...

The 'Twilight' Reviews Are In!
MTV Movies — ... But cheer up, Twilighters, because the world's greatest movie critic is on your side. "The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen," writes 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. I saw it at a sneak preview. Last time I saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes. This time the audience was rapt with attention — I understand ...

You review: Twilight
Film | guardian.co.uk — ... way, the most entertaining teen film since 10 Things I Hate About You," writes our own Peter Bradshaw. "This is an outrageous story of young love played absolutely straight, and actually better and more convincingly acted than many of the ponderous grown-up 'relationship' movies we have to sit through. It sports with the high school genre and America's pro-abstinence True Love Waits movement. But it's got something other than satire on its mind." But veteran thumb-waggler Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times is somewhat more dismissive. "Catherine ...
