Negative reviews from critics did not affect the opening weekend sales for “Twilight Saga: New Moon.” As a matter of fact, the new movie has conquered the number 3 spot for the highest, all-time opening weekend sales. “The Dark Knight” and “Spider-Man 3″ are the only movies that made more opening weekend sales at the U.S. box office. Even better, “New Moon” broke the all-time record for most advance tickets sold.
Twilight Reviews
Many critics bashed “Twilight Saga: New Moon” for many reasons. Rotten Tomatoes, for instance, described the film as “toothless,” “the second bite was stale,” and “if the first installment… was a celebration of teen sulkiness, this film positively drowns in it.” Only 30% of Rotten Tomatoes’ critics actually enjoyed the film. Daily Mail, in the UK, says “New Moon” is “Tedious, long-winded and not so much undead as almost entirely devoid of life.” Film critic Roger Ebert said, “…sitting through this experience is like driving a pickup in low gear through a sullen sea of Brylcreem.” Ouch!
Personal ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Review
Who really cares what critics have to say, right? I mean, they are critics after all. They will always find something negative to say, no matter how good it is. Then again, they do bring out a good point.
The hubby and I went to see the movie over the weekend and I must say I felt a bit antsy towards the end of movie. There was a lot of glaring (literally) and so little action. It almost felt like a never-ending story. Of course, the endless scene of exotic guys running the woods with no shirt on was definitely a treat, especially for the ladies. It was definitely a wise move on their part. I’m sure a lot of people went to see this movie just to catch a glimpse of a shirtless Taylor Lautner or the devilishly red lips of Robert Pattinson, best known as Edward Cullen on Twilight. Overall, I thought the movie was alright. ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ wasn’t the best vampire/werewolf movie, but it’s definitely another movie I’ll add to my home collection.
