My daughter, who is 9, has seen some of the first movie. I skipped the part where she in in her bedroom with Edward and we never watched the violent ending, although she's pretty savvy about that kind of thing so I think she'd be okay with it.

ETA: Honestly, I don't see how it's any worse than many of the movies that I see people taking kids to all the time (Spiderman, Batman, Star Wars, Pirates of the Carribean), although the whole vampire concept might be too scary for some kids.

My eldest is 8 and he watched a bit Twilight when I had it on and he said 'this is silly, I'm going to my room'

Nope b/c my DD is only 4 and she's into Backyardigans and Disney Princess yet
But one day I was reading an article about Twilight on my desktop and she saw a photo of Mr. Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and asked me 'who's this boy' and then 'he's beautiful'. My face = ->-> LOL

No, because I only let my kids watch well made movies.

I struggled with this! My daughter is 9 1/2 and begged to watch it. We have a rule that you can't watch PG-13 movies until you are actually 13. I told her when she turns 13 she can have a slumber party and watch them all with her friends! Good luck

No and my kids are 12, 8, 5, 2 and 6 months.

All of DD's friends (12 y/o) have read the books but I haven't let her yet. Maybe in a few years!

DS is 7 and DD is 1 and neither of them have seen it. DS doesn't even show an interest in it and I can't say I would let him watch it if he did.

None of my kids have seen them - boy 16, boy 14 and daughter 10 and boy 5. I haven't let my daughter read the books even though she says that her friends have read them. I think the books/movies are designed for an older audience, and I don't think she needs to be into that right now. My boys are completely uninterested =) I personally saw Twilight and wasn't very impressed. Still wavering on whether to get New Moon from Redbox....

Yes my 9 year old daughter thinks they are the best ever and she is in the middle of reading them now too.
