The New Moon Reviews

Since everyone wants to see it, here come the reviews?

Thats right, teenie-boppers and anyone else really into this whole vampire thing New Moon comes out Nov. 20th, and New Moon reviews are already coming out.The general air from the critics is that the film BITES, pardon the pun. (As if I wasn’t going to make that joke?) Rotten Tomatoes and some of the big name critics feel the novelty has worn off, and are less than pleased. Maybe payday loans for camping gear to await the premiere wont be worth it.

Rotten Tomatoes

Even though some feel that Rotten Tomatoes is hit and miss at best, its one of most popular review sites for film on the internet.The New Moon reviews on RT average to a 30% score.To say the least, that is unflattering. Some comments from the New Moon page at RT describe the film as toothless, the second bite was stale, and one of my personal favorites, if the first installmentwas a celebration of teen sulkiness, this film positively drowns in it. For some reason, Im waiting for a two word review to come out saying something likeLame Moon.” (These go to 11!)

Roger Ebert and others

Roger Ebert, though he is at times far too kind to some films, didnt spare the rod, or anything else when it came to this film.He gave it one star; regular Ebert readers know that zero and one star reviews are his most entertaining reviews, because he won’t pull punches. From his own website:

New Moontakes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead.

The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moanTheir charisma is by Madame Toussad.

In case you wondered, Madame Toussads is a famous museum, or to the point, perhaps the most famous wax museum in the world.

sitting through this experience is like driving a pickup in low gear through a sullen sea of Brylcreem.

Harsh! MTVs Kurt Loder seemed to like it, saying the film was an improvement over Twilight BUT that Its a very silly picture, of course: Given the source material Stephanie Meyers blathery teen novels how could it not be? and that lead actress Kirsten Stewart was a good actress in a wooden role.

Of course some critics did like it, but heaping praise on a movie thats already popular and getting huge box office gates is too easy, and not nearly as fun as trashing it.Some critics are egregiously obvious shills, and all are hit and miss by nature. (The movie critic in my hometown paper, for instance oh, you know who you are, and an adult who only gives 4 star reviews only to Disney films is obviously in need of psychological evaluation.) I wasnt planning on putting any quick cash towards New Moon tickets so the New Moon reviews make little difference to me, and it looks like you might want to think twice yourself if you listen to critics.
