The 2008 "Twilight" movie received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success. The film grossed over $400 million worldwide, with $142 million of that coming from the United States. The movie's success can be attributed to the massive fan base of the book, as well as the appeal of the lead actors, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Twilight (2008) is not a “so bad it’s good” film. It is a sincerely good film that became a cultural punchline for the sin of being aimed at teenage girls. Revisited today, it holds up as a mood poem about first love’s essential absurdity—the feeling that the object of your desire might truly, metaphorically, kill you. And you wouldn’t have it any other way. Index Of Twilight 2008
