Robert Pattinson fans are going to be hunting down critics with their torches and sparkle encrusted pitchforks. So far Pattinson’s new film, “Remember Me,” has gotten some terrible reviews. It is also sitting at the 32% positive review rating (as of Friday at 3pm EST). So before you continue claiming that it has a 50/50 love/hate rating you can check out 45 negative reviews overshadowing the the 21 positive reviews in their entirety at Rotten Tomatoes. The film is also sitting at average rating of 4.6 out of 10. Ouch. Below are just some of the current critics comments. Keep in mind these are the opinions of the critics and not Hollywood Dame. Any further comments that attack me for the opinions of others will be deleted. In other words…don’t shoot the messenger kittens.
Washington Post: “In attitude, if not aptitude, Robert Pattinson in “Remember Me” comes across like a latter-day James Dean. Playing Tyler Hawkins — a bohemian child of privilege consumed by Oedipal rage — the “Twilight” hunk fills the screen with cigarette smoke, stubble and hooded green eyes, but little else.”
NY Daily: “But aside from the gifted young Jerins, everyone else seems to be wandering around in search of a movie. Even the filmmakers appear to realize there’s something lacking, which is the only reasonable explanation for a supremely misguided ending that — well, let’s just remember that the movie is set in late 2001.”
NY Times: “In Remember Me love means never having to say you’re sorry, particularly to the audience.”
LA Times: “But somewhere the heart that must anchor a romantic drama has gone missing. We don’t so much feel the relationships as see them.”
E! Online –“It’s very telling that during the film’s heaviest scenes—including the couple’s first kiss and the climax—the audience members as a press screening didn’t cry. They laughed.”
Rotten Tomatoes – ” Its leads are likeable, but Remember Me suffers from an overly maudlin script and a borderline offensive final twist.”
If I were one of these critics I be packing straight razors and body guard from hence forth.
