When I watched the movie I was really impressed and I love how was act by the characters. Also how was the movie made and all the scenes was really good. I hope there will part II of twilight. I fall in love with Twilight.

Just once I wish there was a better fantasy vampire movie than simply having to do with teenage angst. The plot line sounds horrible and the actors look "meh". Hopefully the movie is better than what every media seems to let on. (Hey, miracles do happen.)

hola todo bien paso rrr piola!!!

Okay, so I went online to check what the big deal with the book Twilight was about. There's like a frenzy now. So I came on here and I noticed that many of the fans were arguing and saying how it is "childish" and "immature" to be bashing something. Well, it's not really bashing when one is trying to say one's opinion just as the fans are doing the same.

The 'Twilighters' are also complaining, "Oh, have you actually read the books?" Yes, it's understandable that you need to actually read a book before criticising it. But don't think just because somebody is "bashing" something that the person hasn't read whatever it is being "bashed." You'd have to be pretty stupid to do that.

And yeah, I was forced to read Twilight by my friend and I didn't want to read it. As I kept going on, I found some areas to be funny and I know it's supposed to be a teenager's point of view, etc. but the writing was poor--as in it lacked more meaning. But that's just me. The plotline is not corny; it's just very cliche. Bella makes me want to smack her. Edward I like (vampires are cool!), but I am disappointed with whom he's going to be played by in the movie. Robert Pattinson should belong only in one series: Harry Potter.

With every book comes the ones who like it and detest it. With Harry Potter--I'm a huge fan of the series (obsessed practically) and I have had to endure people say the series is crap. They even compared it to High School Musical saying it was "a school with kids who have stupid teenage problems, but only without the music." I just stopped caring what they said because I liked and enjoyed the book. Their opinion is not going to ruin it for me. I'm actually glad they express it because that means nobody has the same taste. Thank goodness for that.

With this said, I can rest in peace.

p.s. And what is up with the TwilightMoms? I don't understand what that means.

I don't care much about Twilight. Its just fodder that appeals to the lowest common denominater. Nothing that really deserves to be praised.

My main gripe about Twilight is the fandom. I just get so sick of hearing "OMG, you haven't read twilight?!? You have to read it, Edward is so hot!" every single time someone haers that I haven't read it. I'll read it when I'm good and ready.

Not only that, but the book does seem really cliched from what I've heard. I mean, really, new girl falls in" love" with hot boy after knowing him for like, a few hours? Then she discovers that hes a vampire - Really original, huh? This is more like poorly written fanfiction.

Twilight is a bunch of hype. It's true. Look closely people. Isabella had no character development whatsoever. And Edward was TOO perfect. And how cliche was the kidnapping? And how, pray tell, did Isabella become so popular after she's known Edward for what? Three months? Less maybe? I apologize to the fans who read this but I am merely voicing my opinon.

SPEED RACER DOSENT HAVE A CHANCE

The truth is Twilight is a VERY VERY badly writted story. Some people just don't realize how unrealistic it is.

The character development is poor and cliches make up the story. Truthfully, it was waste of my ten dollars. I gave it away some girl i don't even know.

I am not a fan of Harry Potter either. However, Twilight, does not deserve more praise.

And, Stephenie Meyer, obviously doesn't know how teen relationships work. Cause it's far from whats going in her book.

BWAHAHAHAHA

Twilight fandom has totally rocked this article, if you read, there's probably about a 90 to 20 ratio on the Twilight "lovers" and the Twilight "haters"


Twilight will totally pwn, whoever they cast for the characters is amazing and couldn't be more precise. Nothing is perfect :P

The covenant was about witches you morons >.> not so much vampires.

Will it save speedracer? No, but the idea of it would be totally awesome!!!

Go twilight!!! and remember...

everytime someone bashes Twilight, another fanperson dies >.>!!!
(a hint for all you hater boyfriends dissing twilight to there girlfriends xD)

the teaser wasnt even in the movie here so whats the big deal?

Titanic effect? Most probably.
Considering the wariness of how the movie is going to turn out has eased and these teen girls you were sneering at will bring their moms and boyfriends to watch Twilight, so that's already like ... 15 million audience on the 1st & 2nd opening day, and the same number when they watch the movie for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and so on time the following days.
If this really happens, then those so called executives at the big studios will kick themselves for turning down to pick up Twilight movie right and especially for not reading YA books and caught the hype of Twilight series in time to make a loads profit out of it.
So open your mind and please stop bashing Twilight, at the very least you will be a more pleasant person.

why r there bashers here? if u dont like twilight or havent red it why bother bashing it? you no ur gonna get bashed b/c ur bashing....

i have red the books and i am utterly obsessed! i dont care if the movie sux,die hard fans just want to see it to see it.and its not just about the vampires,it has a deeper meaning,the vampire that wants to be good,forbidden love and torn destinies.personally i didnt know that speed racer had a teaser trailer so maybe no one else does.but i would go see it just for the trailer. call me crazy,but i would.when i first saw the books i called them stupid,just like a lot of you,and when a friend of mine suggested it i scoffed at her.i read the first chapter to appease her and now i am hooked,i even co-founded a forum on it.yes i am a geek but w/e we all have our moments...so i dont think that speed racers sales will increase b/c the movie looks retarted and ive alredy seen the trailer on youtube so,coming from myself,a teen,someone is bound to post the trailer on youtube...but thts just my opionion

Ok i am a majour fan of TWILIGHT and rhe rest of the books..... i hae no idea what speed racer is and i dont really care. I have loved TWILIGHT i will.. i love the whole story the sespence i mean, come on, read before you totally ruin it for yourselves.

Stop dissing honestly i cant put the book down like so many other hundreds of thousands of people out there. i have never seen so many people fall in love with this book and of course Edward (so dreamy) anyway read it and let your imagination go wild.

ok so yer its about teen vampires but come on who doesnt love a good fantasy now and again.

Okay first of all, for all the people dissing Twilight, SHUT UP. if you didn't read it then dont diss it. i actually just bought Twilight last friday. and i already finished the third book. so if it's so bad how come i know a lot of people who read all three books (for now) so fast? and read it over and over again? and WHY is it #1 on the best sellers list? PLEASE explain that to me.

and i think it will save speed racer since that movie looks stupid.
only because it was a cartoon before. and hollywood, I think, is over doing it since they cant think of anything else to make.

either that make a cartoon into a real life movie or they use asian movies for example: One Missed Call (which sucked)

so twilight will probably help speed racer.
& if you haven't read twilight & are STILL dissing it
go get a life & buy the book and make yourself useful :)

I doubt it'd be able to SAVE Speed Racer, but there may be a some people who'll watch the movie just for the Twilight Trailer.

And to everyone who's dissing Twilight, you obviously haven't read it.
If it is really as bad as you make it out to be, then it wouldn't be a #1 Best Seller, now would it? I really do recommend reading it; you'll be hooked straight away.
Well, after you read about Edward that is.
Twilight is the ONLY book I've ever been really addicted to. I've read all three books more than once.
So you haters shouldn't say a thing unless you've read twilight; and if you have and STILL hate it, then there must be something wrong with you.

(:

I was planning to watch the Speed Racer movie, despite my lack of interest in it, so I could catch a glimpse of the Twilight Movie. (AKA the trailer)
I'm still deciding.
I've already seen the twilight teaser; but I'm sure the actual trailer is a tad longer.
Though, there is the possibility that I could see the trailer and leave. But like I said, I'm still deciding.

And I'm sure there are a lot of people thinking the way I am, but are still undecided as well.

Let's hope the Twilight Trailer actual IS attached to the Speed Racer film; otherwise there'll be a lot of pissed off Twilighters.

SO ive read most of this comment crap, & i can say, I agree with some of what ive read so far, the people who are dissing Twilight, obviously havent read it, and i can almost gurantee if you do read it, you will enjoy it, even though the series is published by a young adult publishing co. does not mean its off limits to ppl that are older, your never too old or too young to enjoy something, and since when did having a love for a book leave you open for public mockery? I personally am not into the speed racer movie, im still debating going to see it just for the teaser trailer, i probably wont though, and for comparing it to Harry Potter, theres nothing really wrong with that, because for me at 12, Harry Potter got me to sit down and read, and now at 19, Twilight got me to do it again, so haters shut up, sit your happy ass's down with a book and enjoy yourself.

I'm almost positive a good portion of you are ragging on Twilight because you have no clue what it is or what it is about and probably havent even come close to reading it. So get some sense and dont bash a book or movie when you have no idea what it is about. And for the ignorant fool that said something about The Covenant, sorry, you're mistaken, of course. They are nothing alike.

So , Confused Bystander why are you even commenting if you think it is stupid? Harry Potter came into the question if you read carefully in one of the above comments you will see that one of the "commenters" said that the harry potter trailer was also playing before Speed racer so i said that no one is bashing the HP fans because i am sure that they went to see speed racer just to see the HP trailer just like Twilight fans. No one is trying to be as you say "smartypants" so there is no need to put down a chemical name and try to make people solve it ...

Mmkay.
I've never seen Speed Racer, and I really don't plan on it because I hated that old crappy cartoon thing. I know of a bunch of people that did go to Speed Racer just to see the Trailer for Twilight, though. So in a way, the small possibility that it could have been shown made a fair amount of people go to see the stupid movie.

And yes, half of the people that I know, that went, have never heard of Speed Racer in their lives, and probably didn't care about it at all. I actually know that my cousins walked out on the movie right when it started, because there was no trailer.

To those of you that don't know anything about Twilight, and would like to bash it, go ahead. But that just shows how low you really are. You have the right to your own opinion, but it makes you look like an idiot if you're going to go and say things of something you know nothing about.

Anyway. Speed Racer, in my opinion, could've done good on it's own, if there was never the Twilight Trailer prospect of it. But since there was, I'm pretty sure that def. boosted it.

okay first off.
I'm just an innocent bystander.
and i never knew people took these things so seriously. i mean.
who writes an essay on twilight in a comment? *cough samantha cough* i understand you have strong feelings on this topic but don't you have some other english paper essay to do? second off...
answer the fucking question already. Cuz i wanna know when freakin harry potter came into the question. GEEZUS. So since you seem to all be smartypants and scholars about a MOVIE tell me what a natural polymer and what the chemical formula for sodium borate decahydrate is?!!
thanks


sorry for the essay.
but i'm sure SAMANTHA understands.
keep the faith home skillets.
laterrrzzzz

Let me say this, if you go from the top comments and down this is truly entertaning to see how umm... Eccentric people get with this. either its bashing it or defending it. im done

Yeah, obviously the people who are bashing this movie and this book have not even read the book .... you shouldn't talk about things you don't know about. I know that everyone has a right to their own opinion but to come on a site and bash and say that some book sucks when you know that fans of that book are going to see it that is just plain ignorant and immature. I have read the books and yeah maybe I may be a bit biased because of this but I would never come on here and bash and complain about how much a book sucks. Also, it was said that the Harry Potter and the half blood prince movie trailer was showing before Speed Racer, I don't see anyone bashing HP .... I'm sure there are just as many HP fans who are going to see the movie just to see the HP trailer as the Twilight trailer. I am a fan of HP as well as Twilight. So, just please don't bash you just make yourself look bad.

one question: what is the matter with all you people. SHUT UP

Plus ive read it over 4 times and cant stop its soo good

For people saying bad things about Twilight stop it. It's amazing, probably wont save speed racer pretty much everyone has already seen the teaser trailer

TWILIGHT RULES! I ACTUALLY READ THE THREE BOOKS IN ONE WEEK!. I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE, ESPECIALLY ROBERT. LOL. I CANT UNDERSTAND BASHERS , WHAT ARE YOU DOIN HERE IF U DONT LIKE THE BOOK? (THAT IS IF YOU'VE READ ANY) GET A LIFE.

CANT WAIT FOR THE RELEASE !

Twilight is one of the best series i have ever read and i can't wait for the movie. =>

Ya no one CARES about the bashers luv u twilight fans=>=>

Twilight rules! My 1 friend bashed twilight all the time till she read it and now its her favorite book. I HIGHLY doubt the bashers actually read the whole book.

Ne ways....no one CARES what the bashers think!!!!!11

You are all completely ridiculous.

Okay first to all Twilight bashers. If you haven't read it then be quite. If you have, fine. Just because you don't like somthing means that you can all ripe into it. You'd be surprised at how many fans there are.
I am going to see Speed racers and its not just for the Twilight tease. Shoot I've already seen it loads on the Twilight website. I don't think though the teaser is going to save the movie. We can see it when ever we want online.

@diana

Yes!! it's a conspiracy!!

I went to see speed racer and the Twilight trailer never came up. I was so disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was this an evil joke just to get us to see Speed racer? I smell a conspiracy!

ok
twilight RULES!!!

those who haven't read the books: you're missing something incredible. the plot sounds bad at first, but read it and you will be amazed.

i like the teaser trailer except for the fact that it looks like Edward is flying, not running super super fast. it bugs me

Melissa- I had the same thing happen to me!

I was rather upset.

Luckily I had decided to see a different movie and just sat in on the Speed Racer trailers and then left very dissapointed.

I liked the movie Speed Racer. I dont care to sit through previews but i did just so i could see twilight but guess what....it never showed...so a preview can not save a movie no matter how bad it is. look at the price to watch a movie in theaters. coming from someone who works in a theater the price is over board. if it was cheaper to watch a movie then people wouldnt try to get certain previews to save a movie.

I agree with "G" from May 7th, 2008 at 8:29 am, I cant wait for "Twilight" to come out!!...It'll probably be the most popular movie to see and make the most money ever made on opening day!!!Because true diehard "twilight" fans will atleast try to go on opeing day if it isnt sold out!!I know I am!!...i also agree with "kristen was here"from May 8, 2008 at 2:05 pm too!!!!!

I cant Wait!!!

Omg me and my friends are just going to see that mentally handicapped movie for the Twilight Trailer (ya know so we can scream when the trailer plays and so that the other audience can groan and swear about us Twi-Hard Twilighters! hell yes!

But otherwise, Speed Racer should be run over multiple times and then shot in the foot

GO GO GO SPEED RACER!

-Devo

CANT EVERYONE JUST GET ALONG?!?!
and Twilight is awesome :)

yes yes yes

twilight rocks!

So funny how bitter some of you people are. If you don't give two shits about the movie "Twilight" then why continue to read articles about it. Oh I know why, so you can throw in your snide little comments. I am sure the movies or books you all are fans of are just SOOOOO much better. I can tell by how you all respond in your comments that you all must be very smart, and we "Twilight" fans should bow down for you are so much better then us. Get a grip.

90% of you haven't read the books and have no clue what you're even talking about.. the other 10% are just pissed of men who have GF or wives that have most likely read the books and up'ed their standards on how they want to be treated romantically. That or are just mad because you forced them to see a guy film under the agreement that you would go to a chick flick with them..and this is the one that they have chosen and you don't want to see it. Again GET A GRIP. Bash the author all you want, bash the film all you want.. but for evry one of you rude and negative people there is like 5 Twilight obsessed fans. The books rock.. the movie will rock..get over it.

As for comparing it to "The covenat" Stupid.. that movie had no fanbase before it was made.. so NO. Not even close as usual.

As for bashing on the Twi-moms.. I am willing to ber at least one (if not more) of you is one of those Star wars fruits who dress up Storm Trooper style and camps out in front of the local theater for days waiting for tickets.. and has a sutographed picture of George Lucas next to their bed.. so shut it!

As for the questioned asked in the actual post. I have to see Speed Racer anyway because I have a car obsessed 4 yr old. The Twilight teaser is a perk to me for having to be forced to watch a guy movie.

I'm sorry...I made a typo.
If you haven't even tried* to read the Twilight series then your opinion really doesn't matter!

I am a Twilight fan, but I won't be going to see Speed Racer for the teaser, unless my kids want to see the movie.
As for the Twilight book series...it's excellent writing. Want proof? Go to the American Library Association website...Twilight is an award winning book. It has to be pretty good to win an award. As for the Twilight movie, I think the "Twilight Fandom" is counting down the days until the premiere. Do we all expect the movie to be as good as the books? Maybe. All I'm gonna say is, it's hard to make an excellent book into an excellent movie. Even the HP movies didn't do the books complete justice.
Twilight may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you haven't even tries to read it then your opinion really doesn't matter!
I don't think the Twilight teaser will save Speed Racer, but it sure will cause the movie to make more money than expected.

twilight will rock!!!!.. and for those who doesn't know what twilight is all about... it's about vampire love story .. and not just some horror flick ok?...

I have actually considered going to see Speed Racer just to see the Twilight trailer, but I think it would be a waste of the pricey cost of a movie ticket when I can get it in high-def at home. I don't think Speed Racer will be "saved" by Twilight, because most Twilight fans are smart enough to keep their hyperventilating panic-attack fangirl moments out of the public eye (though I admit to obsessing at home...).

Wow, I don't usually see Twilight bashings this bad. I know this has been stated and beat to death, but I have to say it. I hated them before I read them, like most people. I figured anything with a plot like that and a rabid teen fanbase would be corny and awful. I'll admit it is corny, and the writing is simple compared to other novels of its size and grandeour, but the characters are real and human enough that almost anyone can relate. I must also reiterate that it's really not a sci-fi novel at all. It's about love "conquering all" and about finding yourself. Some of the characters may be vampires, yes, but it's in the perspective of a very average seventeen-year-old girl.

Here's a brilliant idea: if you don't like it, fine. Don't waste your time bashing it to death and acting unnecessarily immature.

(Also, where did the Titanic and The Covenant bashing come from? It's completely irrelevant.)

Hello fellow Twilighters! I'd just like to say that seeing those 10 or 12 bashers made me upset.....

Until I saw the 80 supporters following! Yay!

Anyway, back to the article. Yes, I have already seen the preview online, but I am still going to see Speed Racer. I barely wanted to see it, but knowing the Twilight preview is playing sealed the deal. Also, for those of you who want to save $10 and watch the preview online, the preview online is only PART of the actual preview. The ACTUAL preview will premiere before Speed Racer and on the movie's website on Friday. So keep a lookout!

Ok.

So.

I am a Twilight fan. Huge. Have been since my best friend introduced me to them BEFORE they were big big Harry Potter- beating hits. I love them. I am certainly in the fanbase. And yes, I am a teenager, if only for a few more months. And if Edward Cullen proposed, I would accept. Get it got it good.

I am with people that are mad at the haters that haven't read the books. That's silly. Try reading them, and then you have a right to critique or even bash all you want (although the person who said there's bad characterization- do you think this large of a fanbase would fall in love with a badly characterized character? Obviously we're understanding something we love in these people we're reading about. I feel like I know each Cullen. That's hardly bad.


That said.

Have some perspective Twilighters! I love ya, and believe me Im JUST as excited for the books and this movie as you are (the short teaser trailer had me pretty much giddy for a few minutes) but I think it is hardly fair to make such broad general statements as that it is the best series in the world ever.

Thats why people get angry guys!

We can tell them to read the books before they knock them, asking them to give it a chance. But... we cannot force loving a book series down the throats of people who have tried and dislike it. They tried. You know? There are things you dont love that other people might like you to.


I think, really, that respecting the opinions of others on BOTH sides is whats really necessary, as well as staying out of it if you cannot back up what you say with knowledge of the actual books.

And... to the person who denounced Edwards being "sparkly" in favor of Ann Rice- this is an interesting solution to wanting to break the "vampires die in the sun" cliche. So... heres to the breaking of a cliche, in a creative, and dare I say it, beautiful way.

I agree

there's no way you have actually read the books and are just totally bashing about it.

and also, uh, HELLO!!! if you don't think they are good books (and you are entitled to your opinion even though i disagree) JUST DON'T COMMENT!!!

you say you can't understand Twilight's fanbase... WELL YOU ARE ADDING TO IT!!!

they don't go around READING all the comments, they just count them

even the bad ones

im just saying, if you don't have anything good to say just keep your mouth shut!
