Even if I had any reason to get defensive about the movie, Roger Ebert's review still would have cracked me up. Read it. (But it has some tiny spoilers for non-canon things that happen if you're concerned about that.) He's not scathingly negative about it. It's just that he picks up on everything that is wrong with Twilight -- which it seems the movie might only have exacerbated -- probably only halfway through it.
He makes an interesting footnote recommending Let the Right One In, which by the way, if you don't know about it, is a currently limited Swedish release about a young vampire, and looks AMAZING.
