the best Twilight Saga movie reviews

[@alexawood1588]

“no one can read bella’s mind because she doesn’t think” is the single most accurate and funniest review of this movie

[@eviltism1997]

Counterpoint: If you look at some of Bella's habits and behaviours, you'll see that she's coded as autistic. There's even a scene where she talks about feeling like her brain is on a different frequency than everyone else's. The whole frequency thing could be the reason her mind can't be read.

I always thought about this, like there is a national park nearby, why isn't anyone hiking? It turns out, the Olympic National Park has some pretty remote parts so I guess it makes some sense that the Cullens don't have run-ins with them. They also probably avoid people easily. They can hear them, smell them from a distance etc.

[@palinurus]

Well I mean, we know from a few throwaway lines here and there that at the very least, non locals came to hike near Forks all the time. We know this because the frequent deaths of said hikers are occasionally brought up to foreshadow that there was a vampire hiding out in the forest. Don't remember which one- either Laurent or Victoria, I think.

I love how everyone wants to throw Jacob in jail for imprinting on a baby but not as many people mention the fact that Edward is like, 96 years older than Bella. The first one is still a HUGE issue of course but like, you know.

[@anotherlonewolf588]

i think a lot of people are more ‘okay’ with Bella and Edward because they LOOK the same age. With Jacob and rent a center, there’s a HUGE difference because obviously one is a fucking baby. I think Jacob’s character assassination in previous books also adds to it; Jacob went from being a happy Golden Retriever Boy to being viewed by a lot of us as somewhat of a sexual predator. We never see Edward force himself on Bella, or anyone else for that matter. As much as Stephanie tries to backpedal, her character assassination was fucking solid.

[@NepetasShippingWall1642]

[@tini_ceh]

@@anotherlonewolf588 Yeah, that makes sense, although people being okay with it because they look they same age is also messed up because of the whole "She looked 18" thing, although I guess there's not an emotional maturity difference either so I guess the looks are what people would pay attention to in that situation.

[@graysonboi9301]

Yeah look that’s bad but at least mr vampire didn’t decide dam she’s hot as a baby???.

While mr werewolf is looking at a baby a baby and is like yeah we fucking

[@tini_ceh]

@@graysonboi9301 Yes, I completely agree, my point was just like, you'd think it was weird and creepy if a 34 year-old hit on a 17 year-old but the whole vampire boyfriend being hundreds of years older is romanticized in this and other movies/books

[@goblinonastick1095]

I cried when Carlisle "died" during the fake fight scene. I'm not a big fan but he was one of the only characters I liked. The others being Alice and Charlie.

[@alicesmith255]

Twilight should have been a gory horror/paranormal cop saga with Charlie being thrown into investigating a series of very gruesome murders with help from Carlisle who initially joins for the autopsies which are quickly determined to be caused by some vampire/other monster. Alice insists of being part of this for some future vision reasons too. Basically just strip down twilight to its strenghts: those three characters and Stephanie Meyer’s natural talent for descriptions of horror and violence.

[@sleepygrey9217]

I'll be honest, when I first heard Jacob say he imprinted on her, I thought he meant like as her older brother figure or some kind of destined platonic friendship. I'm choosing to stick with this innocent 12 year old mindset for the sake of my own sanity.

[@JayTohab]

I thought that's how the author intended it and the directors took it the wrong way, but I've never read the books, so I wouldn't know. Incidentally, I don't plan on reading the books. Or watching Breaking Dawn again.

[@ghostflower7180]

@@JayTohab Unfortunately the books are even worse. There is a character that also imprinted on a baby and became the toddlers babysitter. They said that at that moment they were only her babysitter. But as the years go on he will then become her big brother figure, then her mentor, then her friend, and finally her lover. I also think he said "she will come to only rely on me", like what!? The books also have a bunch of other messed up things that make you question the authors character as a person (like racism). Honestly the movies are more tame then the books.

Jacob literally had a crush on a baby. Yes, they grew up fast but they’d never get the years of maturity of growing up. AKA: Jacob has crush on vampire that acts really immature. (Maybe even toddler immaturity) That and the fact that Edward and Bella are the same thing.

[@SuperUmizoomi]

Look, Edward is the dragon loli, even if he is "actually a 100+ yo vampire" he is physically and mentally 17, and renesmee's case is kjnda like dog years, at age 7 she is in fact a fully grown adult, she doesn't have as much life experience, but her brain development is the equivalent of an adult

[@SuperUmizoomi]

Also werewolves dont control the imprinting and I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that they're loyal to the person they imprint one to the point renesmee could basically enslave jacob and he couldn't do anything about it

[@nobinary2296]

I like how people gloss over how Jacob repeatedly explained how imprinting works through out the movie series... Yet people are actin like this mf had an actual CHOICE?! Imprinting is done against your will. They're forced to be subservient and loyal to whom ever fate decides to fuck them over with. If anything HE is the victim. She's literally going to outlive him. She is already of an adult age in mind by the end of the movie. I mean she was having full on telepathic conversations as a BABY. If that doesn't tell you how rapidly she is maturing? I don't know what to tell you. If you're going to be mad about something like this can we all be mad at Edward as well?? Seriously.. He's an emotionally/psycholoically/physically abusive, gaslighting, man handling, emotionally negligent, stalking, grooming, and controlling partner. Not to mention he's old as all hell. What the hell is he doing thirsting after a teenager for?? Stalking her around town? Breaking into her house to watch her sleep?? Throwing her around like a rag doll despite "loving" her and convincing her it was her fault or doing the "poor me I am a vampire/filth, you should leave me" gaslighting routine. EDWARD = True Villain! Change my mind.

[@VenomQuill]

@@SuperUmizoomi Just because she looks older doesn't mean she is. Growing older means gaining knowledge, yes, but also gaining experience. Psychologically, realistically, she should be an absolute mess. Her mind needs to go through physical development which is influenced by her experiences and her _growing up._ Just because she _looks_ like an adult doesn't mean she is one. Bella/Edward is a different thing. Edward is psychologically 17 because he was turned at 17 and just stopped aging. Yes, he gained more experience and is thus technically _older_ than Bella by quite a large margin. However, just like treating Edward like he's actually 100 would be wrong (He's neither emotionally stable enough nor psychologically mature enough for that), treating Renessme like an adult when she's, like, 10 months is also bad. Bella and Edward are ~similar and could ethically be together. I'm not Team Edward. I'm actually Team No one. Edward and Jacob are just not chill for her. Alice sounds pretty cool, but she's in a relationship already.

“Are you on team Edward or team Jacob?” I am team Alice. Alice was checking Bella out throughout the entire series(at least the first three movies I haven’t seen the fourth or fifth yet) “Oh you smell nice” Alice was the first to Bella’s side when she was being turned in the first movie Alice got a gift for Bella and looked into the future to make sure she would like it Bella didn’t attempt to email anyone else in the family, just Alice. Alice didn’t even care that Bella supposedly was dead, as soon as she figured out Bella was going to jump off a cliff her ass was driving back home. What was Edward doing? Watching. What was Alice doing? Driving and putting in the all time effort We thought the choice was “stay with Jacob or save Edward” but it was actually “stay with Jacob or go to Rome with the hot vampire lady known as Alice” Alice knew exactly what time Edward was going to reveal himself, and there’s no way in hell she didn’t slow down ever so slightly, or at least contemplate it She looked into the future, saw what was going to happen, knew where the clock tower was and said “maybe if I send Bella on her own, she won’t find him, and while I’ll be sad that my brother is dead, I get to swoop in and be her new gf” And when Bella did save Edward and the whole vampire council thing showed up, Alice came in like “yo I see you about to sacrifice yourself, let me show that I’m romantic too” Alice and Bella exchanged “I love you” glances in the elevator on the way to their supposed dooms When Edward just watched and said “no Bella” as Bella was about to sacrifice herself, Alice offered to create a future where she got to live with Bella forever Literally She even said that she would be the one to turn Bella Edward didn’t want Bella to be a vampire because everyone in that family knew Bella and Alice were having an unspoken attraction, and he knew Bella would eventually dump his ass for his sister When that one guy was going to try to read Bella’s mind, the look she had was “please don’t tell him I’m in love with his sister” I know he can’t actually read her mind But I like to imagine That he could And that he’s an ally And he just pretended he couldn’t Alice’s cover for Bella in the third movie was “everyone is on vacation, she’s spending the night at my place” Charlie likes her Jasper was literally manipulated and used in his origin story Jasper is Alice’s beard None of ya’ll can prove me wrong Team Alice is the only correct answer and I will stand by this statement until I die.

What makes the whole ‘Jacob imprints on a baby’ creepier is that he literally had no choice. The entire time Bella with preg with Rigatoni, Jacob hated her and wanted her gone. After Bella gave birth and Edward tried to ask Jacob to hold Rollingpin, Jacob just told him to “throw it out the window.” Just a few moments before Jacob imprints, he went into that room with every intention of killing Roblox for ‘killing’ Bella. Jacob is literally her slave. He’ll do and say anything she wants him to; he’s imprinted, he doesn’t have a choice.

the "Jacob not taking no for an answer was a *bit* alarming" was probably a joke but accurately describes the fandom. please go watch Cinema Therapy! love Twighlight all you want to but watch with your brain turned on and please don't model your relationships of these SUPER toxic relationships! You all are beautiful and worth healthy and secure relationships

My aunt loves these movies and books and when I took an interest in the movie poster puzzle she had in her room, she decided that we'll watch all of the 4 movie that was out and I loved it (I was like 10 at the time) and we even went to see the last one in the theater. When I got home I've put the theme song on in youtube and cried in silence, because the saga was over and I was feeling emotional as hell. Years later I realised how wierd and funny these movies are. Mostly the first 2 are hilarious. And the parody 'Vampires Sucks' is a masterpiece! Now I love these ironically xD

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Can't believe they cut out the part where Edward recalled the time he got beat up by George Joestar and Lisa Lisa.

[@trashotaku]

God it is the funniest thing that Edwards first reaction to his future wife and mother of his child is to cover his nose like he just smelt something rancid and gag

[@Jenifer_R_]

Edward's great suicide plan involved stepping into the sun and sparkling. Would your first thought be "Look! A vampire!!", or "Hmm a street artist covered in glitter."?

[@princessravendiamond4288]

I'm not Team Edward or Team Jacob... I'm Team Alice. JUST LET THEM BE LESBIANS!

[@gingytots]

Someone make a fan fiction where Bella is less cringy and her and Alice are in love!

[@hambelperhurger4547]

i watched the first movie w my friend and my two main memories are playing the recorder cover of the titanic soundtrack over the piano scene and posting "why do people love twighlight so much it's literally a burning dumpster pile" to my private story at 4am

[@jelly985]

when Jacob imprinted on the baby, it seems everyone suddenly forgot what familial/parental love is

[@little_ghosty1854]

I think that part gets overshadowed because the only context movie watchers get for imprinting is in a romantic context. And in the books, that seems to be the end goal of the imprinting relationships shown, even implying that it will happen between one of Jacob's pack mates and a small child he hangs around with. So yeah, the concept of familial/parental love gets forgotten. As it does throughout the series.

[@Nixmeri2411]

I love this channel not because it creates a collection of non-bias reviews of overly popular underrated/overrated films and series in a totally monotone voice while displaying mug shots of the characters that are revered to in the review, no. It’s because joey played SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN THE BACKGROUND OF ALL THE REVIEWS TO DO WITH THE BASEBALL SCENE!!! the editing, the attention to detail, the flashbacks 😻 I love this channel

[@bag.of.bones.]

plEASE do this with old disney channel sitcom movies

[@ultimawerewolfbluephoenix9670]

The fact that my teacher my sighed in disappointment when i said i didn't see twilight is something I will never understand.

[@iamcringebutiamfree123]

with all due respect to those who do not like twilight and those who do, the twilight baseball scene is cinematic poetry and wonderfully done. one of my all time favorite scenes in any movie ever😊

[@MajesticWorld19]

Thank you Amanda for having the courage to post that 2008 Twilight review

[@peachycrow9462]

My mum showed me these movies and I was CACKLING the entire time, my dad had to tell me to stop laughing cause it wasn't a comedy, I will still laugh, because that running in the forest will never not be funny.

[@glass.hammer]

The most joy I experienced from twilight and the subsequent renaissance was catching Robert’s barely concealed contempt and his otherwise beautifully, weird personality that very much did not reflect any aspect of the books, Kristen’s budding, heaven-blessed gayness, and the fun himbo energy that Kellan brought. That arm wrestling scene was 100% a reenactment of the night my drunk lesbian ass and my sweet himbo friend decided to arm wrestle.

[@elsanzo]

Yes, fall in love with a baby, thanks Meyer

[@droth1031]

Based on the ending of The Host, I'm thinking Stephanie Meyer has a DDLG fetish, and it keeps popping up in her books.

[@Meow-y7r]

This video inspired me to watch the twilight films bc I’m sick and bored but literally it feels like time passes by 90% slower when I watch them and so now I’m still sick and bored but twilight is on at least

ok you convinced me, I'm going to watch the movies. I've only read books and don't remember a thing, it's going to be a ride

[@saphiabaron1256]

When I was in secondary school I took my little brothers to see the first movie at my school's movie night and quite honestly the best part was when the dvd kept skipping. How could they make a movie with god damn vampires and werewolves so utterly boring. Even the fight scenes were mostly posing. It still baffles me that there were people out there that un-ironically enjoyed it. I get that everyone has different tastes but it was genuinely painful to watch. I know that this shouldn't annoy me to this extent but it does. It is maddening.

[@helloimyomommy]

10:35 in the books, Quil V Ateara (one of Jake's best friends, and part of the pack) imprints on a 4 year old toddler called Claire. Just smeyer things~

[@millennial_fairy]

I used to be a twihard in my teen years and now am able to see the series for its flaws though the movies are still entertaining to watch from time to time . Those soundtracks still hold up well years later too ! And these reviews 😂😂😂😂

[@Luminar_Yurei]

My (9th grade) English teacher unironically loves Twilight. We turn our stuff into the "Edward" box, she has a life-size cardboard cutout of Edward, posters all over the walls. I do not trust her to be my English teacher. Isn't that series, I dunno, *infamous for bad writing?*

[@WindySilver]

Dammit, I missed this. I put the video on beforehand so that I'd hear when the countdown starts but then I went AFK to do the dishes and completely missed this DXD Welp, better late than never!

[@tonkajoey08]

I hope you enjoyed it :)

[@swarple]

I remember being a young teen, like 13 or something, and my mom showed me New Moon because she didn’t understand why girls my age liked it and wanted to see if I could explain. I could not, because I didn’t like it.

[@butmermaids7443]

nothing about twilight is the blueprint for any sort of healthy romance

[@chikubijiggy148]

The fight scene that was just a vision is honestly me and my mom's favorite part out of all the movies

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

The review from November 22 2008 sends me, I was 18 that year and I've forgotten that my fellow teenage girls used to write GAWSH and AH-MMAZING, I myself have a notebook with similar writings about Zelda games and art supplies, and my then boyfriend who is my now husband 😅 What a time to be a teen.

[@nobinary2296]

People forget that Jacob never even did anything "sexual" or "intimate" with the girl. Also... He didn't have a choice. He literally repeatedly explained how imprinting works. You don't have any control of it. Fate literally decides it for you. They even showed how bad it can fuck you up when they showed how the leader of the wolf pack already had a girlfriend before he imprinted. Loved her to the moon and back... But then he met the girl fate decided he was meant for and bingo! His whole body and being was forced against his will to be with the other chick. He still loved the first one but was literally unable to be with her thanks to the imprint taking him over. Plus Renesmee was already an adult mentally. She was literally having full on conversations as a baby and was already powerful enough the Council came for her. Your forgetting she already looked like she was ten in a couple weeks. The indian half vampire came at the end and literally described how he matured physically/mentally and how long he has lived. Renesmee already knows she and Jacob are connected. She has seen ahead, because she's far more gifted than Alice and understands what fate has in store. The only sad thing is she WILL out live Jacob.

[@Halloweenish]

Kay, so, it’s established that Jacob was only attracted to Bella because the egg that would become Renesme was in her womb. So, by the same logic, wouldn’t he have also been attracted to Ed because of the soon to be vampire jizz in him?

[@Albme94]

[@gameboy-nq7je]

Besides the really badly written interpersonal relationships, the plot line that made even 8year old want to smack my head into the wall and the fact that got everything wrong about vampires you probably could to the point at which I refuse to call them that... The worse part about this movie is how one.. one fucking fanfic about it was enough to horribly miss educate Most of the world about one of the most supporting and loving communitys, that I was lucky enough to be a part of growing up, out there to the point where we are just seen as a group of horrible/abusing/violent people and helpless gaslight once/people willing to do anything for money, causing people just like that to appear and making it more and more difficult find actual members of the scene
