Okay, so we're firstmost faithful and loyal fans, both to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book series and now to the new Twilight movie (and soon New Moon!)
As the Twilight purists we are, we hereby present to you the three most idiotic reviews of the Twilight movie.
Idiotic Review #1 - Chicago Reader compares Twilight to WB sitcom
J.R. Jones of the Chicago Reader misses the depth of what he's seeing:
This adaptation of the best-selling novel by Stephenie Meyer never rises above the level of a teen soaper on the WB network, and its pale, sulky boy toys (Kellan Lutz, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone) are more silly than scary.

Idiotic Review #2 - Eonline.com says Twilight is Sexist
Showing complete ignorance for what makes Twilight truly Twilight, Eonline proclaims:
Back to Twilight, which hit on all mattress-ready moods save one: It’s sexist. Why are all the boy vampires the driving, dynamic, more droolworthy ones? Why is Bella’s greatest achievement to be bedded by Edward? Why the hell isn’t she bedding who she pleases, and deciding when?

Idiotic Review #3 - New York Post says Twilight was Made for 12-year Olds
Kyle Smith of the New York Post doesn't get it either. There were so many clueless statements that you'll just have to read the full article because we could only fit in a few here:
TWELVE-year-old girls have a lot to answer for: Clay Aiken, exclamation-point abuse, "Twilight." What's more worrying, though, is how the bubble-gum lip-glossers seem to rule national taste standards...
In "Twilight," the vamps work off the tension of permanent un-deadness and social ostracization by . . . playing baseball? Is that really the most interesting way to show off their super-strength and speed? The ballgame in this movie, played in Abner Doubleday/"Eight Men Out" uniforms, is the weirdest sporting use of superpowers since Batman and Robin played hockey with Mr. Freeze.

Idea #4 - Tour of Forks, Washington
Who cares if the books are fiction? It's based in real-life Forks, Washington (population 3100). Every serious Twilight fan longs to see the meeting-place of Bella and Edward.
To get to this town on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, you'll want to fly to Seattle, rent a car, take a ferry across Puget Sound, and stay in Port Angeles. It's an hour drive from Port Angeles to Forks, where you can visit Forks High School, the Cullens mansion, even the hospital where Carlisle works. While you’re there, take the 15 minute jaunt to La Push to visit First Beach and the home of Jacob Black.

Idea #5 - Edward Cullen’s Volvo C30
When Edward isn’t chasing down mountain lions in the forest with his superhuman speed, his car of choice is the sporty Volvo C30. Perfect for fast-driving vampires and his supernatural siblings, it comes with four seats and almost 30 miles per gallon. If it’s good enough for Edward, it’s good enough for us!
