It's bigger, faster, stronger -- just like Edward himself.
Thoughts? On Robert Pattinson's American accent? (I heard some British in there, but maybe it's just me.) On the music choices? On the fact that the trailer practically shows you the entire movie?
Leave 'em below.

I love Rob's accent. Sounds very sexy to me. I dont hear any brit in there at all. If youve read the books you know whats happened! and if you havent it doesnt give it all away. The kiss was incredibly erotic. Love the trailer.

Loved it. LOVED it. I was excited before, but this has taken it to a new level.
The colors are just beautiful!!

I had to laugh as the EW review of the trailer says they think Rob sounds like Brando 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

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.

I loved Rob's beautiful and sensuous accent. I was hanging on his every word. Its impossible for him to be hotter. I'm actually more excited to se him as Salvador Dali in Little Ashes but Twilight will do until I can enjoy that film. I dont think most people will have eyes for anyone but Rob in this film as he has such amazing screen presence.The trailer does a great job of selling the film to people who havent read the books. I'm very impressed. I hope Rob can move on from these films soon and work on more quality films like Little Ashes. he's too good an actor to be trapped in teen romance films. Di Caprio did well after Titanic and I am sure Rob will do the same. It will be nice to have a Brit at the very top in Hollywood. I'm fed up of the aged stars like Pitt and Clooney. I want to see some fresh blood. Rob reminds me of a mix of James Dean and Johnny Depp.

The trailer was excellent and the music unusual but I liked it. Pattinson is just amazing, I could watch him all day. His accent in this is laconic and enticing. I find it supremely exciting and erotic. The special effects are much better than I was expecting - the tree scenes work really well. Who wants to see the supporting actors when you have Rob and Kristen on screen -not me. Hardwicke did right. People have been swooning over the kiss and I can see why. So now we know Rob can kiss brilliantly too. I suspected as much. You lucky lucky girl Kristen.
Good to see I'm not the only on really excited to see Rob as Dali in Little Ashes. The water scene alone sounds very special. Rob will definitely become a superstar because he has the perfect mix of talent, versatility, charisma, danger, charm,humour and sex appeal. Phew a heady mix.

I LOVE TWILIGHT and I LOVE the trailer! I think his voice was great and so was everything else in the trailer! It is perfect.
I can't wait!

Yeah, his accent is a bit off, but I can overlook that, seeing as how I'd most likely murder an english one, myself. (I'll give him a little leeway on it.) And the dialogue DOES seem a bit awkward, like someone said above. But I'm trying to keep in mind these are merely snippets and, taken out of context, they can seem a bit off.
I don't think they showed too much of the story. It's the blossoming romance that's the heart of the book, and you can't get that out of a minute-long trailer. However, I wish they'd not included the prom scene. That would have been nice to save for a big "ahh" effect in the movie, but I'm sure they still have some zingers to throw at us that they're keeping under wraps.
Bottom line: the only thing I'm worried about is the dialogue.

IT IS PURE AWESOMENESS. That's what it is!!
His accent is just fine. I'd listen to him read receipes forever.

A superb trailer. It completely lived up to high expectations and the director needs a pat on the back. What can I say about the acting - its fantastic and the chemistry between Pattinson and Stewart is the best I've seen in years. Pattinson in particular will b a huge star. There was huge pressure on him and he has delivered an intense, charismatic performance. I love that slow smooth delivery of his. Its very effective and so erotic. I cant wait to see him in other roles.

This trailer made my heart pound. I feel silly getting so excited about something like this. My husband thinks I'm ridiculous. Regardless, great preview. I can agree with people about the prom clip and actually, I wished they'd left the kiss out. It was amazing but it was one of those moments in the book where I held my breath and I was kind of looking forward to the "ooh, aahh" moment in the theatre. It's cool, though. Still amazing. I've already accepted that it's not going to be exactly like the book so I'm grateful to see that they're being faithful to the spirit of the book. I think the casting was dead-on, especially for Stewart and Pattinson. I've already cleared an entire day to watch this film repeatedly opening weekend. So glad it's almost here! I'm going crazy!

Okay, so yesterday was the much-anticipated final TW trailer. What did I think?
MANY THINGS. At first I was numb and really don't think I could think. Then, my heart was beating out of my chest. It was totally surreal. I mean, these books that have been living in my head (and the head's of millions of others) forever now played out in front of me on my computer screen. I wonder what it's like to be Stephenie...how she must feel to see it, her dream, in full color. Rob has always been my PERFECT Edward. From the start, I LOVED HIM as Edward. Now even more seeing it played out. I honestly don't know how I am going to stand the movie. The trailer almost gave me a heart attack. I must give Kristen a shout out too, she was pretty good, AFTER I got over the major jealousy that she got to kiss MY ROB, then I thought, she is a good Bella. Not as good as I WOULD HAVE BEEN, but then Bella probably would not have been cast as a 36-year-old housewife from Oklahoma!
I can't wait to see more of the Cullen's. The part where the 3 are jumping into the fight scene...WOW. I can't wait to see more of ASHLEY as ALICE. WHOOT-WHOOT! I am still a little woozy this morning from the onslaught of Twilight-related stuff this week and last. I am now headed over to MTV to read their blow-by-blow synopsis of the trailer, then watch it again. If I had makeup on, I would for sure tape myself, but since it is really early here, I have not gone on my run yet, I am not putting makeup on just to take a shower after my run and have it all run off...wasteful!!! LOL. So just imagine me, glued to my seat, screaming out, I LOVE YOU EDWARD, I MEAN ROB, I MEAN EDWARD or KRISTEN, HE IS MINE! HANDS OFF. Totally irrational things to scream, yet those are the things that pop in my mind.
I am in AWE of Catherine Hardwicke and Melissa Rosenberg for the GREAT JOB they did bringing this book, this series that is so close to my heart, to the big screen in a manner fitting Edward. All the conjecture and speculation of the last months about how they could not pull it off...I am MORE than impressed with this final trailer. My dream (BESIDES ROB) is to work for Catherine or Melissa. That would be awesome to mentor under either of these women. WOW.

Loved the trailer.
It actually comforted me, more than the previous ones, that the director and actors have a good handle on Stephenie Meyer's series. Some emotional scenes showed excellent chemistry between the lead actors (a must for this book).
Very happy with the trailer and am looking forward to seeing the entire film...and watching Rob Pattinson's career blossom! I'm wondering if he knows what's about to hit him fully. ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed the trailer. His accent in my opinion was done very well, just how I envisioned Edward to sound. It sounded classic (that may be due to his true British accent coming out a slight bit) but it also has a boyish tone which is the innocence that Edward tries to convey. When he sounded demanding in the part where he says "Say it" I absolutely melted because it still sounded so sweet yet electrifying. The music definitely set the mood but I've always enjoyed music with an intense vocal track, so I was biased with the perfection it made for me. When it comes to them revealing majority of the movie I feared it would be too much but I think they did a good job of keeping it even. We were still bombarded with many shots we had already seen but there were also a fair amount of new things to keep us on our toes. They still haven't showed anything in the way of Bella first arriving in Forks, her mother, the other Cullens and the Hales, Jacob or the other Quileutes, her classmates, etc. I still feel like I have much to look forward to but this should hold me over for the next month or so.

The music was a little weird. At first, I was like, oh hey, LOTRs! Then I though it sounded like some crazy techno. And THEN, I got so wrapped up in the trailer, I didn't hear the music anymore, but those first few seconds are a killer. It's darn creepy.
Not the biggest fan of trailers who show pretty much the entire movie - not just Twilight, but in general. I think they could have cut back on some of the Cam action, and thrown in more about Bella and Edward in school. In the first book, Bella being a new student is pretty important - I would have liked to see more of Mike or some other characters, especially Alice. Her and Bella have as important a relationship as her and Edward do.
Overall, it looks decent for a low budget flick - I think that the directors, writers, and producers worked extremely hard to make this film as good as possible with their limited budget. There are a lot of great details and little inside jokes (apple or vegetarian plate anybody?) that they didn't have to include, but took the time to. I'm not sure if the movie will be that great, but I know that everyone worked very hard on it, and that's all you can really ask for.
I don't anticipate Twilight to be a huge blockbuster. And I'm also wondering how long it will be before it's pirated and on the net, and no one goes to see it in the theaters, because it's already available somewhere online. The Twilight series has been plagued by that lately, and I'm sure it might affect the box office figures for the movie.

Amazing Trailer... Rob and Kristen, as always, wonderful.
Posted by: twilightfanbrasil | October 10, 2008 at 09:12 AM
I loved, loved, loved (ohh yea!) loved it!!!!!! Now waiting until November 21st is going to be even more difficult because I can now see how fantastic the end-product turned out. I don't know about anybody else, but the chemistry between Rob and Kristen just sizzles and crackles and even pops!!! Even if the dialogue in the movie doesn't live up to all the hype, the chemistry between these two will carry it through...they make such a far- fetched story believable...as for ppl's comments regarding Kristen's acting, I thought she did a great job (remember ppl we are only watching 2-mins of very edited and clipped performances) I felt she did a wonderful job of protraying Bella who was constantly struggling with her inner thoughts and trying to hide things from Edward, especially in the beginning...as for Rob he blew me away...I was expecting him to be good, but he took a character who had the potential to be very one-dimensional and made him multi-faceted...he says so much with his eyes...the intensity is incredible!!! and the accent was down-right sexy...I wonder if this is the most over-analyzed trailer in the history of film trailers...??? I for one will be going as soon as it opens on the 21st!!!!
Posted by: Dee | October 10, 2008 at 09:15 AM
I don't think it shows the whole movie - they haven't even shown Jacob (remember Jacob?), Billy, or any of the other Quilettes. Not to mention, hardly any of the Cullens. And you call yourselves fans! Ha! Just kidding. Can't wait!
Posted by: TinaO | October 10, 2008 at 09:55 AM
I freaking love the new Twilight trailer. It's amazing! The first two trailers were way to similar to each other, this one really stands out. His accent did slip a little at times, but he kept it under control so well, i know there's extra scenes added that are not in the book, and major differences, but i have a strong feeling after seeing that trailer this movie will not suck!
Posted by: London Ball | October 10, 2008 at 10:16 AM
I loved the trailer!!!! Can't wait till this movie is out Nov. seems so far away! I think Kristin and Rob were great choices to play Bella and Edward. Rob looks hot as ever and that kiss my goodness she is a lucky gal. I don't think the trailer showed to much because it left me wanting to see more. Wish we could have seen more of Jasper and Alice but thats ok. I am also looking forward to Rob other movies How to be and Little Ashes because he is a great find!
Posted by: HollieM | October 10, 2008 at 10:16 AM
His American accent it amazing. The trailer just makes me want to see the movie even more! Even if the trailer showed a lot, it still left a lot out!! I'm so excited!
Posted by: Letisha | October 10, 2008 at 10:24 AM
I think that the trailer is exhilarating. It made my heart beat a little faster and the anticipation only became more so that my husband is starting to wish November to come much sooner so I can "get over it". Personally, the music to the trailer I think is quite beautiful, but it seems to overshadow some of the dialogue. (like most movies) Rob's accent seemed pretty spot on to Seattle guys, but at times it sounded like the British accent was coming through, but it made it sound a little Brooklyn then....I don't know. It was for a very short period of time, so I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Overall, I thought the trailer was everything I was hoping for!
Posted by: Heather | October 10, 2008 at 10:27 AM
OMG. that kiss. (sigh) so beautiful

i loved the new trailer!
i am really looking forward to see Robert Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's performances. both of them are incredibly talented and i cannot picture anyone else as Edward and Bella.
i am also very glad that Catherine Hardwicke was chose as the director of the movie. the trailer showed that she captured the mood of the story perfectly.
the colors are simply beautiful and the music conveyed a great atmosphere.
as for Robert's accent: he did a great job and if i didn't know that he is british, i wouldn't have guessed that it is not his real accent. i simply adore his voice! (be it him talking or singing) i can't wait to hear the two songs that have been used in the movie
and i don't think at all that the trailer gave away to much. there are still many aspects of the story to which it didn't even allude to.
now i am really exited to see the film!

oh, i forgot something: the only reason the dialogue might seem awkward is because they used only snippets of it. and mixed many lines which didn't belong together. but it is common practice in a trailer and i think that it all will work out well in the movie
