The Big Picture In 2008, popular culture didn't know what it had coming, and neither did Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. The Twilight movie franchise, which brought to life author Stephenie Meyer's young adult book series, started a cultural revolution as teens, tweens, and adults stormed the theaters to watch such a prolific romance on the big screen.
Twilight PG-13DramaAdventureFantasyRomance When Bella Swan moves to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious classmate who reveals himself to be a 108-year-old vampire. When the movie was released in 2008, it took over Hollywood, not only because of how it made studios realize how profitable the young-adult market could be, but also because it introduced a whole generation of watchers to an innovative approach to romance that is still imitated today. Because of Twilight and its fame, so many other novels have been allowed a chance by production companies that would likely never have looked at them otherwise.
The Twilight Franchise Needs To Be More Creative Close No matter how accurately the Twilight franchise adapted its namesake novels, it was always going to earn scorn from viewers. The story of a 104-year-old high schooler full of angst over his long life falling in love with an equally distressed teenage girl is a rather unserious premise, and that's before the even more wild aspects of the large franchise are revealed.
