The film franchise, starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, was released on Netflix over the weekend, and fans are sharing their thoughts on it.

Every single Twilight film was released on Netflix on 16 July and it left people feeling very nostalgic.

The famous franchise, which was based on Stephanie Meyer's 2005 novel of the same name and starred Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, first hit the big screen on 2008 and came to an end in 2012.

Telling the story of star-crossed lovers Bella and her vampire paramour Edward, the films captured the imagination of teens and adults alike.

The five films, named The Twilight Saga, took home a whopping $3.346 billion at the box office, but almost a decade after it concluded, does the film stack up?

American audiences in particular have been binging the entire thing over the weekend and have shared their thoughts on the franchise with hilarious memes.

And this Twitter user suggested it was all about the Egyptian Coven and The Amazons.
