The much bally-hooed New Moon has gotten a slew of negative reviews. The second installment of the tween Twilight-series will most likely rake in a bundle, but as far as cinematic masterpieces go — this isn’t one of them. The movie is said to be entirely too long, too depressing and too (if you can belive this last one) “teen oriented.”
more New Moon cast after the hop…
Richard Roeper, from the famed Ebert and Roeper had a rather hilarious analysis of why the Twilight series is such a hit. (via Celebitchy.com)
“In “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the boys preen way more than the girls. Robert Pattinson’s Edward has the stylish wardrobe, the eyeliner, the rouge, the lip gloss and the perfect hair , while Taylor Lautner’s Jake spends most of his time whipping off his shirt in the rain so his abs can sparkle. At the screening I attended, dozens of teen girls squealed multiple times at the sight of Pattinson walking in slow motion, Lautner flexing his pecs. The only thing missing was a cameo by the Jonas Brothers. In the meantime, Kristen Stewart’s Bella is now 18, but she wears no discernible makeup, dresses like a 12-year-old boy and has two moods: pouting and sullen. No wonder 14-year-old girls love these books and movies. The female lead isn’t threatening, and the boys are studly and always fighting over her.”
Ha and ha.
