I did it! I watched Twilight finally. I really do have so many questions about this film I am assuming will be answered in the next instalments. I was so perplexed at some of the ideas in this film but it toed the line between creepy and romantic beautifully. Enjoy :)

Hey sorry guys. Editing is super choppy due to crazzzzyyy copyright claims for days now. Fingers crossed this stays up.

[@Romance_dream_]

hey, loved this reaction, so to answer your question: why do they go to high school: to be in touch with their human side and connect with humans. the limited population in Forx helps with their thirst issues.

[@adventuresinlaurenland]

​@Romance_dream_ Edward says why in the movie. It's because the younger they pretend to be the longer they can stay.

[@Romance_dream_]

yes but why do they keep going back to high school over and over again? that's the question most viewers ask, so I answered.@@adventuresinlaurenland

Just have the whole screen blurred, add some flare effects and some filters so the music and voices would be distorted. :P

Jacob has long hair because he is Native American in the books and a huge part of their culture is their hair! It represents the growth of one’s spirit! :)

[@ashlymartinez1131]

Am I the only one that loved the "I'm in hufflepuff" comment?🤣🤣

[@thegrasslands4187]

Edward looked at Bella like that in the cafeteria because he couldn’t hear her thoughts and was confused about why. I think he was trying to somehow break through and “hear” her. He reacted that way in Biology because she smells so good to him that it was all he could do to resist killing her right there in class. He was angry because her presence ruins everything because how will he be able to resist? That running up the mountain to the sunlight scene doesn’t happen in the book. All the stuff that happens then happened later in the story when they go hiking to a meadow deep in the woods. I don’t fault the movie peeps for changing this. They have to save time somewhere, but it does come across a bit silly that he just snatches her and goes running off. The futures Alice sees change when people make decisions or change their minds. She only sees where things are going if everyone stays on the path they are on now. Yes, they go to high school again when they start over in a new place so they can stay longer and not have to move so much. They want to try and live as normally as possible. The scene where he grabs her and jumps out the window to climb trees and calls her spider monkey doesn’t happen in the books. I think they did that just for the visuals. They do spend more time on their relationship in the book. LOL. Everyone loves Charlie.

[@aivlysplath]

For real, I’d pretend to be homeschooled. F doing high school over and over again.

[@thegrasslands4187]

@@aivlysplath I think if I could be separate from all the social drama, I would have liked to do high school over and over. At least a few times until I got to the point where there were no new electives to try. Then it would begin to be torture. In the screen rant for this movie the exec guy asks the writer guy why they would go to high school, and he says something like, because that's where the main character spends all her time and I need them to interact. LOL Logically that really is the only reason for them to be there.

[@loreenahansen9776]

Thanks for the additions! Also, the reason they have such a weird affect for the fast running is because they received a huge budget cut late in shooting and were barely able scrap together the last scenes with the money they had. So they just barely achieved what they could and couldn’t make it look good 😅

[@TerezatheTeacher]

How book-accurate is it? Very. The actress potrayed Bella perfectly: akward, clumsy, weird af, obssessed. Edward was also excellently potrayed: an akward stalkery psycho in a romantic way and who seems uncomfortable 150% of the time. The books were peak romance for 13-year-old me. I would like to see your reaczions to the other ones.

[@xejelah]

But, you didn't tell him about the sun. They don't sparkle in the books. They look like they're on fire.

[@erikperhs_]

​@@xejelahI really don't remember that. It just says their skin is like diamonds.

[@nyxldx]

the movies aren't actually accurate at all when it comes to the characters and their dynamics. Don't get me wrong, to this day I love rewatching them but they're not good book adaptations. The first one alone which is the most iconic one doesn't portray the main characters at all and how they fall in love - which led to the biggest misconception that they "don't have personality" and they "fall in love in a day" The first movie leaned on the awkwardness & broodiness when it comes to Bella & Edward, making those their defiant traits of the films. in the books both of them have a more playful dynamic, both can be timid and humorous. They bond over music and argue over literature. Their whole thing is much less dramatic and more of a fragile thing; both are new to love and both don't see themselves clear and to why the other person would bother to love them

[@notamberp]

….reactions* lol

[@hyunjiniret87]

Edward isn't psycho

[@dcemerald70]

Despite its cringe and creepiness, this series is definitely a guilty pleasure. So I would love to see you react to the sequels. To explain about the eyes, when a vampire drinks human blood their eye color becomes bloodshot red, when they drink animals’ blood, it becomes a golden brown coloring, and when their eyes are black it’s because they haven’t drank blood in a while and they need a refill. 👩🏻‍🦰🧛🏻🩸❤️🖤

[@denisebennettahrentzen8340]

So many people hate them and so many people love them, but as someone who always tries to see the positives in all movies, they are entertaining as fuck! Please do the whole series. They all have different directors, so they all have different vibes.

[@mikaelafox6106]

It's such a guilty pleasure! I love watching when the weather is rainy, grey, and gloomy.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

I agree, they are super entertaining! I'm like you, I try to see positives, and if I have fun, even if a movie isn't the greatest, I'm happy.

[@ranniwolves]

the problem with twilight is that there are serious, disgusting issues with the plot and writing. at some point, you have to acknowledge that. i love to watch twilight for entertainment but criticizing it is still absolutely necessary

[@Thundernoob98]

I unironically liked the books (audiobook) and movies. Sure there are some dumb moments and everyone is ackward af tho

[@taylormade9748]

Yes entertaining as hell

[@vaanda9446]

I am so excited for this one. Twilight is one of those love-hate movies I have. The nostalgia really helps this one for me

[@Lexi_sapphire]

In the scene in the hospital, it was pretty funny in the books. When ever Edward would touch Bella, her heartbeat would skyrocket like crazy and the machine would catch it and start beeping faster.

[@emmaebaldwin]

What gets me is reading the books, Bella steps in front of the fan, and we go maybe five or more pages in Edward’s POV of Midnight Sun… he has planned the entire classes deaths to drink her blood in the span of one line of Twilight. It all would’ve happened in her lifting her foot to walk from the teacher’s desk to their table. It’s fascinating! They also don’t focus on Jasper’s powers. He was shielding Bella and Alice from the bad vampires. That’s why it took so long for them to notice her. The wind made hiding her irrelevant.

[@mysticmay129]

"She's going cross-eyed, Bro!" 😂

[@very_cherryx]

must say how refreshing it was to see a guy react to twilight and admit it was corny but also not spend the entire reaction just hardcore shitting on it to the point of annoyance. i hope you watch the rest of them!

[@nmoney6655]

Actually according to the books Edward was acting like she stunk because he was tempted by the smell of her blood and he was actually trying to not to kill her

[@heatherdyson6815]

The way Esme gives Bella the full Mom Arm ™ after the baseball scene is sending me. Why have I never noticed? Like I understand that that whole stand off was 100% everyone protecting her, for their various reasons - **cough** Rosalie **cough** - but she’s truly just the most mom to ever mom, and it’s so funny.

[@NoudlePipW]

Charlie is by far the best character. He does have one large slip up, but hes the best by miiiiiles. I cried when he was like "I know im not that fun to be around..." 😢

[@Fanproductions]

What’s his slip up?

[@honey8cake56]

​@Fanproductions probably him taking jacobs side in eclipse where he kisses her and she punches him

[@SteventheShoehanger]

The movie mostly follows the book. Recently, a book (Midnight Sun)was released using Edward's perspective. He is a psycho.

[@MicukoFelton]

Fr, I don't understand how anyone can find this romantic.

[@addieroth5201]

He's not a psycho. He has never had a relationship in over 100 years. He died at 17 and then spent the next 100 years trying to come to terms with being a monster. He saves Bella's life then feels responsible for her. He watches over her because of that. I can't believe you read the book and got that he was a psycho. Did you read it or audiobook it?

[@SteventheShoehanger]

@addieroth5201 Edward thought about killing almost everyone. HiS expressed hate/disdain for the Quileute tribe and internally mocking their fear of the Cullens. And the hate for children at the school. I could go on.

[@yonitasingh]

You should definitely check out the Cinema Therapy reactions to these movies. Really enjoyable to see their perspectives.

[@erikperhs_]

I read the books and Kristen's acting in this is SPOT ON!

[@thecocoacouch]

It’s funny how some people say it’s bad. I don’t think it is, she’s purposefully being extremely awkward and weird in my opinion. It’s bad if you don’t know what the character wants but I think it’s pretty clear 😆😆

[@besupaaa]

​@@thecocoacouch exactly, up to this day people think she's a bad actress because of twilight when in actuality she was being a great actress.

[@apet6752]

I can't imagine having to be so careful alll the time with your lover.. He says in one of the books that if he just reaches out to touch her face a little too quickly he could crush her skull in a millisecond. That would seriously suck!

[@sepiaswirl]

Kristen Stewart did an excellent job as Bella - the way she is portrayed is exactly the way she is described in the books, complete with quirks and everything 😂😂 she's supposed to be super awkward and weird. It's why she is partially also drawn to the Cullens so much - she feels like she has a place with them, I guess? Would like to see your reactions to the other films for sure! Things get crazy and awkward and weird but there are also some really really good scenes that I know you'll appreciate!

[@Giveuponyourdreamsanddie2]

The thing with twilight is that every cullen and the relationships between them would make a better story than what we got also the reason Jasper looks like he's always in pain is because he is Jasper's power is to feel/alter emotions so when he's in school not only is Jasper dealing with his own bloodlust but also the rest of his family's as well which makes it incredibly hard for him to control his hunger

[@Cyamonicaa]

I’m excited to see you watch the entire movie series. I think the story as a whole is great. People focus a lot on how it looks and some shots, but fans appreciate it for what it is.

[@JeM130177]

I love watching people react to Twilight because i was the absolute prime audience for these books and movies when they came out. I have such nostalgia for how much i loved them. I can look back on them and cringe but it's fun. This first movie especially has that low budget charm 🤣. Although 16 year old me and current 31 year old me still agree that Carlisle is the best one none of this teenage bullshit gimme a nice calm man 🤣🤣🤣. Also as others were said the books were definitely better at conveying the though processes of characters and Bella wasn't quite so.....blank 🤣. I should really reread them as an adult and see what I think now.

[@erikperhs_]

Their romance is very extreme. It's not for everyone, but it's the exact kind of love I want to have one day. This thing of finding someone who's OBSESSED with you and wants to be with you and make you happy LITERALLY forever.

[@candidwings5609]

"She loves chasing red flags, mate." "It feels romantic but it also feels really wrong." "I'm assuming it doesn't look that cold there, but the blue filter is making it seem more miserable." Nailed it. Forks, WA is near a temperate rainforest, so it's cool and rainy frequently but not like the arctic circle. It averages 23C-7C for daytime temperatures throughout the year. Its a really beautiful area of the US and the fact that the movie was largely filmed in a different part of the country is pretty annoying to me.

[@terrylewis_]

I was big into them when they came out, went to the midnight releases etc. It was definitely a moment in time, and I still love the movies - even though they're definitely cheesy. The music choices in all of the movies is great.

[@TotallySquirrel]

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, Charlie deserves the world! I really like the world Stephenie Meyer created, and a lot of the characters have fascinating backstories that would have been worth exploring more, but the story and relationships are... eh yeah... well it is what it is. Would love to see you react to the other movies since they explore more of the world and lore.

[@ravenbrenna0999]

I recently reread the book series and one of the things that stood out to me was that Bella does notice that Mike & Eric have crushes on her but does not feel the same. But, she's also a people pleaser and doesn't want to ruin her friendship with Mike so she's got scenes in the first book where she's trying to appease both Mike & Jessica. It's one of the things that I never noticed in the movie but stood out to me in the book.

[@ArwensPhotography]

I’m a 44 year old woman & the Twilight Saga is still one of my faves. So excited you’re starting to watch them! ❤

[@USAFACAP]

I loved this, and I loved that you came in with an open mind 😁 I know it's super cringy, but this series is also sooooooo nostalgic. I loved your reaction! ❤

[@aleema4910]

regarding the being attracted to someone who could kill you - 1) yeah that's kinda what dating any man feels like as a woman, this kind of genre is a way of exploring that fear but desire anyway in a safe way, 2) people-pleasing is a trauma symptom and sometimes attraction is actually relief of feeling safe when you finally convince someone intimidating to be nice to you, similar to Devil Wears Prada but also cute boys

[@aleema4910]

3) I'm so high

[@sylviaconlee7407]

People think that Bella was the wrong choice as actress,, but in the books, she was supposed to be awkward and clumsy, as well as plain. The only reason people are interested in her is that she is new in town. Most vampire movies have the vampires fall for "beautiful" people. They didn't read the books.

[@prismmonkey]

Been to both Phoenix and Melbourne during their respective summers. I promise Melbourne is much better. Phoenix is typically 43C+ in summer. Plus, Melbourne has penguins. Phoenix is tragically penguin free.

[@Lynn-CA]

Charlie (her Dad) is the best character in the films, hands down!

[@0tifa0zell0]

In the book midnight sun it is written from Edwards point of view and your comment about him looking at her like she is prey is very accurate. The first time he meets her in the classroom he sit contemplating killing the whole class so there is no witnesses to him killing Bella

[@xejelah]

"A red headed vampire, that can't be good." LMAO! I also like how you and Edward have the same hair.

[@thecocoacouch]

😆😆 how does he get it so poofy tho!! Probably a bit thicker and longer.

[@Kwistoweeish]

I love your reactions, and the fact that you always look for the positive in things. This is a tough series for a lot of people, because both the books and movies romanticize deeply unhealthy (and in some cases dangerous) behaviors. Swooning over stalking, predatory possessiveness, gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and extreme codependency (to name just a few in a long list of red flags) didn’t sit right with me as a teen when this was popular, and it’s even more horrifying to me now. Yes, these stories are just fantasy, but they had a massive impact on young readers and viewers, and impressionable young minds deserve better examples of what to aspire to than this.

[@kj5250]

U were a very aware teen like me. Good on u

[@kj5250]

Then u get older and it becomes even heavier

[@TotallySquirrel]

Yeah, I wish I hadn't been exposed to these as a kid. At least older I can see it for what it is but yeah, did not take great lessons from it at the time. Shame cause the world and lore is interesting!

[@dfunkt2291]

So much this. Fun, or not so fun fact - the Fifty Shades books were originally a Twilight fan fiction. Both of these franchises romanticise abusers and their behaviours.

[@JessieNebulousGaming]

Thank you! I never got into the books because they were terribly written (the first one was one of the few books I never bothered finishing, it was so bad), and when I saw the movie, I was shocked by how such an unhealthy and disturbing relationship was being glorified and packaged for impressionable teens as peak romance. Edward and even Jacob display HUGE abusive red flags, but this franchise normalizes and glamorizes them. I find it incredibly unsettling, and I was so glad to see someone else acknowledge it here in the comment section. Thank you.

[@doodad9982]

Weather talk! Answering your Phoenix vs Australia weather. So for Phoenix this summer we had 31 straight days of 110+ degree heat. Usually around 115ish. And we're a dry heat so more of an oven than anything. But the rest of the time its 95-105 and our small winter usually sits around 65-75.

[@Miss-Sarah-Lumen]

As a almost 30 year old girl, i read the book religiously right before the movie came out and as teen I loved this movie so much as a grown up it's a bit cringe... But the one minor detail from the book I remembered is that the computer she used for research was an very old computer which was already there when she was a child and she didn't had the time jet to buy a new one... And the other detail is when Rosalie said she can smell her form across the field that was originally alice in the books. Love your positivity 🎉😊

[@scottietrademark]

The piece that Edward is playing on the piano is the song he sang for the soundtrack!

[@mari-emm]

Thank you for reacting to this! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too! I've read the books (long time ago) and watched the movies quite many times. I love the aesthetics and soundtrack of this movie but also the story. ❤ I feel like Kristen and Robert did good job with the script they were given. I also see that a lot of the awkward and intense moments made sense for the story and the characters because they were supposed to be like that. Especially with Bella because she was so young and also described as awkward in the book too, so no wonder she was like that in the movie too. Many of the decisions that were made for the movie also shows that it's a product of its own time, as every movie is. Of course we see some things on a different light because don't live in that time anymore. Things and people change. I feel like a lot of people tend to forget that, especially when it comes to Twilight

[@emilymartin5806]

"We should all find a guy that looks at you like he wants to eat you." Iconic.

Charlie really did not deserve that. It was too cruel and heartbreaking 💔

[@alexwinchester495]

The title alone has me laughing. I can’t wait to watch.

[@Blackbirddaisy]

I think the biggest difference between the movie and the books is that there is a lot of talking and backstory in the books. There are a lot of convos between her and Edward that tells you more about their chemistry. The meadow is actually a whole trip they take in the books and goes deeper in how he has to resist killing her. She tells how she knows he’s a vamp in the car otw home (after that dinner)

[@lvstjonnellfaith]

"She loves chasing red flags" is such a line coco coach 😂😂😂😂😂

I love your reaction! Going into it semi-blind is actually perfect and it's wonderful how open-minded you were going into it. I was absolutely obsessed with all things Twilight and Robert Pattinson when it came out and now the series are my comfort films. I really hope you'll continue. This first one is more of an indie film, but it became a cultural phenomenon so all the subsequent ones are noticeably more big budget. I personally love the intimate homey feel of this one.

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

Charlie Swan (bella's Dad) is a fan favorite

[@maryjoromero4936]

These movies are like my guilty pleasure, so glad you’re reacting to the franchise.

[@ashm624]

one thing i loved you touching on was the score and particularly Bella's Lullaby on the piano. Every soundtrack is a perfect encapsulation of the mood for every film. The first movie is filled with bands like Paramore with their incredible "Decode" and more angsty teen music but Bella's Lullaby is a stand out piece. A beautiful, light, and almost innocently hopeful melody and the full song with the backing strings has been one of my favorite pieces for the longest time. Turning Page and Flightless Bird are two more great songs to have been made or adapted for these films.

My sister was so obsessed with the Twilight movies and books. I only watched the movies for the werewolf fight scenes, the special effects were really good for the time.

[@NetanelWorthy]

As somebody originally from Phoenix, the temperature can get high as about 45°C. I’m converting it for you since I know you don’t use Fahrenheit. But that’s extremely hot. Also keep in mind it’s a dry heat. Barely any humidity. Like 6%. So it’s like an oven.the winters are much more mild. Like 15°.

[@thecocoacouch]

Yeah it doesn’t get that hot as regularly here but our climate is a bit more tropical so we deal with humidity a lot. I’m not a huge fan of heat 😆

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, it can even get to 47-48C on the hotter days. It’s pretty uncomfortable. Unlike Bella, I don’t enjoy the heat. I’d much rather deal with the Seattle temps her & the other denizens of Forks Washington experience.

[@seanchesteralexisexamen5964]

I don't know why, but I've seen the parody Vampire Suck and whenever I see Twilight, they kind of merge in my mind and I can't stop laughing 😂

[@leeneufeld4140]

When you feel up to it, one of the best, if not the best, vampire movies ever made is "Interview With the Vampire" (1994). It's a great movie by almost any metric, but watching it should not be undertaken lightly ;) For a lighter, more action oriented introduction, I would recommend "Van Helsing" (2004).

[@laurakhancreations3845]

This movie was the most accurate to the books, just a sped up version of it- they kept in a lot of the dialogue that Bella and Edward say- the only huge difference was how Bella got away from Jasper and Alice. She had to outsmart them because they were already at the airport to meet up with Edward and since she knew the area, she went into a bathroom with 2 exits and she had made Jasper go with her since she knew he wouldn’t go in the bathroom itself

[@jasmin2186]

Some things never changed for me with Twilight, watching these movies for Carlisle and Carlisle alone for example 😂 Very fun reaction 😊

[@Nocturnally_Yours]

Carlisle 😍

[@rskyBindy]

I really appreciate and respect your open mindedness while watching this, despite this maybe not being your usual type of movie, or despite what you may have heard about it over the years. I think most people can agree that whether or not they personally think the movies are good, they can be pretty fun to watch.

[@mellymoore8390]

I unironically love these movies haha. I think it's because I read the books first in middle school and they were one of the first love stories I'd read, so I found a lot of things to like about them. There's plenty to critique but I think it's forgivable if you care about the story.

[@larissa1770]

This might be a far stretch but would you ever react to iconic Disney movie like aquamarine? There’s very few KZbinrs that’s reacted to it & all of them end up being surprised cause it’s genuinely a lovely story about friendship. I would love to know your opinion about it !

[@BouncyMissSally]

People love to mock the cgi for vampires running in this; but it's almost entirely practical effects. The actors were in a harness on top of a treadmill on wheels being pulled by a rope; the only cgi in the running was hiding the harness, and that one shot of edward's feet. As for how close it was to the books: The characters and some of the major plot points were spot on. But it was just different enough to cause some problems later on (later movies reference things that happened in the first book, but not the movie/s).

[@thecocoacouch]

Just looked funny that’s all 😆

[@clemrblt6]

9:07 Fun fact ! This scene actually recreats the cover of the first book 😉

[@adiarainfoster]

There is the blue filter, yes, but this is set in Washington State. Rain. LOTS and LOTS of rain. The forests up there are actually a temperate rainforest. It's nearly always overcast and raining in the summer and snowing in the winter. It's pretty far north, so yes this time of year they are showing would be pretty damned cold.

[@PaiDiMat]

You're really spoiling us with these reactions. By the way, I love how Kristen portrays Bella. It's what I imagined reading the books. She totally nailed the role for me

[@Juanstoned]

To answer your question in phoenix it can get up to 115F degrees or 46C during the day in the summer time

[@JRDickens20]

To answer your question about Phoenix, Arizona (I live there) summers can range from 37.7 up to the hottest I can remember at 50, but average in the mid low to mid 40s Celsius.

[@orphanedhanyou]

I know it didn't always look perfect but I like how they depicted their speed throughout the films because it emphasized how the world looks slow to them vs them moving fast necessarily. One step is so fast with no effort.

i have a very weird relationship with these movies😂 i was raised in a a religious cult so i was only allowed to watch the first one as they were coming out, (because my mother didn’t know what kind of movies they were) and then like around 2016, i started sneak watching the movies and now they’re one of my favorite comfort movies. are they good movies? objectively, no probably not but just look at the movies as camp and then you’re good😂

Considering the content as the series progresses is perfectly understandable many parents would say "is not worth the entertainment, I don't want my kid (specifically for the sexual tension and scenes) exposed Bernstein there is better content for hormonal teens to consume & help them make better decisions during this time." That said I enjoy them & think they have a a great prolife message.

[@AliasSchmalias]

Watching this video right after your Harry Potter reaction made your joke at 5:52 soooo funny omggg XD

I just re-read the whole series last year. Made sure to talk to my still relatively young children (19, 22) who both love these stories about how toxic the relationships are. It's ok to escape into these stories for fun, but it's annoying how they affected impressionable young readers. Making them think this is all romantic, when it is just toxic.

I live in the Las Vegas area, our average summer temperature is about 110 degrees. It does get even hotter sometimes like 119 degrees. Phoenix is usually a few degrees hotter!

I can identify with you liking the movie. My brother-in-law and I really enjoyed the books and the movies and in fact, my brother-in-law told me that he and my sister are watching the movies again for about the fourth time. Twilight is a little like Harry Potter, inasmuch as it wouldn't seem right remaking the series with different actors. Great reaction, as are all of the dozen or so that I've seen so far.

[@audiethefoxx]

I love watching your reactions! You pick up on the smallest and key details right away. I hope you decide to continue the twilight movies ☺️

[@Treatpeoplewithkindnessbitch]

Would LOVE the whole series! Whether people take the series seriously or not, the finale is amazing and you would have SUCH good reactions

This video came up on my recommended and I watch any time I see a twilight first time watching video. I loved your commentary and am definitely subscribing! Keep up the great work!

The books go into Bella's fear of getting old that's why she hates birthdays. Apparently the new book written in edwards point of view if like depressed adhd vampire with the mind of a teenager from a time guys courted girls.

This is the best twilight reaction I have watched. And I have watched alot of them. I really looking forward to watching the others. It's hard to say book VS movie. I like the films and I love the books. Especially the first one. They are similar enough... but of course the books blow the movies out of the water. Thats how it always is.
