You have to admit. Twilight reshaped entertainment, even if some critics still roll their eyes.As all five Twilight movies return to theaters from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 for the book series' 20th anniversary, it's worth asking: has any "bad" movie been more influential than the sparkling vampire saga? Twilight fundamentally changed the entertainment landscape, creating new market categories, and proved female audiences could drive blockbuster success. More than $3 billion in worldwide box office revenue suggests audiences found something critics missed entirely.I was aware of Stephanie Meyer's books when they exploded on the scene, but I never read them and still haven't. It was fun to be online at the time, though, as the fandom grew, and I got snippets of some of the book's more ridiculous plot points. (What is that baby's name? What did the werewolf do right after her birth?!)Then came the movies, and I missed those the first round, too. But I am a sucker for autumn and will watch any Halloween-adjacent movie, and on a whim one year (spurred by a growing nostalgia online with that famous “hooa hooa” soundtrack on viral videos) I put on the first film. And I loved it. - YouTube www.youtube.com It might be that everything that came before primed me to enjoy these silly movies and their silly turns. I had a nostalgia of my own tied to the whole thing. But overall, they're really fun movies, and Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner are all good...
