Snap Judgment: The final 'Twilight' trailer

I guess it’s a good thing I know more about vampires than technology, because it took the Army Corps of Engineers a tech-savvy friend and much nail-biting to figure out how to install the $%#& Twilight widget so I could watch the damn thing. By the time I got it to work, the trailer was already on YouTube. But! Check it out, and my initial impression, below:

1. The kiss between Bella and Edward — not a bad one. Almost hot, actually. Based on the film’s poster, I was afraid they’d have zilch chemistry. Happy to see I might be wrong.

2. Is it just me, or does Robert Pattinson’s American accent make him sound a little like a young Marlon Brando? Bella: "You’ve gotta give me some answers!" Edward: "I’d radda hear your tearies." And a little further in, "My famlee, we’re different from udders of our kind." A Godfadder in the making.

3. I wish I could’ve seen more than a split second of Alice and the rest of the Cullens, and met Jacob too.

4. That’s a cool trick Edward pulls with the apple. In fact, all the action seems pretty cool, though the dialogue could definitely use a little, uh, juice.

Over to you, PopWatchers: What do you think of the trailer? Are you tons more excited for the movie now that you’ve seen it? Or are you wishing it were the dusk of the Twilight empire already? Sound off below (but please keep it civil)!

    It rocked!!! But I agree that Jacob should have been in there some and the rest of the Cullen clan. LOVED the kiss – Rob’s eyes are so intense. I know he’d dazzle me!

  • HadasBT

    MORE JACOB MORE JACOB MORE JACOB
    and yes I think this is the first time I got excited for the movie the other trailers were ehh

  • Brit

    HOLY COW! It was freaking amazing! I do wish there would have been a little more of the Cullens…but I guess they have to leave something for the movie! I can’t wait for November 21!!!

  • Shaun

    I like the trailer. I think Robert and Kristen have more chemistry than I anticipated. I like Robert’s voice. There are worse people to compare his voice to than a legend like Brando.

    THE TRAILER HAD AN EERIE, ROMANTIC AND INTRUIGING FEEL TO IT. LOVE IT!!
    ROB’S VOICE IS SO EDWARD, AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. KRISTEN AND ROB’S CHEMISTRY IS TOOOO HOT TO HANDLE. I WISH THEY’LL JUST HOOK UP IN REAL LIFE.

  • Natalie

    Sold me on definately going to see it. I think it might actually be good…altho i agree the dialogue was a bit…eh…

  • Crystal

    Completely mind blowing, so much better than I anticipated. There are at least 50 people in my building at work that were excited to see this new trailer, now I know why ;)

  • hal

    Rob’s amazing in the footage. I dont hear Brando but the accent is VERY sexy. It draws you in. Its like honey. He has so much charisma. I love the kiss-its perfect.Erotic.

  • carolyn

    Glad the focus was on Rob and Kristn. Jacob bores me. Pattinson was mesmersing. He’s going to be a Hollywood superstar. You only have eyes for him when he is on screen. Loved the trailer, perfect mix of action and romance. Rob’s kiss was so sexy. Lucky Kristen

  • ali

    Brando? I think your ears need a good clean. Rob’s voice was lke velvet. It oozes sex. Very good trailer and the music was sexy too.
    Pattinson is the next Johnny Depp for sure. Quirky, sexy, dangerous and so vrsatile. I cant wait to see his Salvador Dali in Little Ashes. Early reviews say he is phenominal.

    I had to laugh as the LA review of the trailer says they think Rob sounds British so quite a difference in opinion. I think he sounds wonderful. Just the right mix of old american. He’s meant to be 107 so his voice isnt meant to sound too modern. I thought the trailer did a great job of attracting people who havent read the books. 10 out of 10 from me. The kiss was sensational. Lucky Kristen. I hope Rob gets a whole new franchise to himself next year something like Clash of the Titans. I can see him as Perseus. I do have a big desire to see him as F Scott Fitzgerald in a new film thats being developed with with Keira Knightly

  • Abi

    Rob sounds other worldly – mega sexy. The accent is perfect. I cant think of any other actor with such charisma. I sit open mouthed watching him as he excites me so much. I thought the trailer was spot on. It needs a wide audience and I think it did a great job of trying to appeal to the masses. Kristen doesnt convince m but Rob’s screen presence more than makes up for that. I so want to se Rob as Dali in Little Ashes. The fan reviews after seeing the world premiere are so amazing I am green with envy.
