I normally don’t blog twice in one day, but since I’m on Spring Break and have finished packing (go me!), I decided to post about my hatred of movie reviewers. I realize I’m not Roger Ebert, but I feel like I have good sense when it comes to movies. Gone with the Wind is a great movie. Gigli is not.
With that said, I saw “Remember Me” tonight with my roommate. There were definitely some slow parts, but all in all, I felt it was worth the nine dollars and two hours of my life. I really enjoyed it. I thought Robert Pattinson’s acting in this movie was a million times better than his acting in the Twilight movies. Perhaps it’s a sigh of relief to not have to look at Kristen Stewart’s depressing face all the time. Whatever it is, I had a wonderful movie going experience…even though I knew the ending before hand from Internet leaks, a movie reviewer and a certain best friend who shall be nameless…(cough cough M!).
Movie reviewers have been bashing movies I’ve wanted to see for a while now. I’m not really sure why I give them so much power over my AMC experience, but it always bums be out when the NY Post gives a movie like “Remember Me” 1 out of 4 stars. I thought it at the very least deserved 2. I would give it 3 out of 4, but I realize it is not Oscar worthy or original. At the end of the day, normal people like you and me go out and view these movies, and I feel like movie reviewers do not understand that – they are far too pretentious. I wanted to see a moving love story set in the city I love – and that’s exactly what I got. Throw in a hysterical best friend that I would love to date, and we have a great Saturday night flick. So please movie reviewers, stop the hating, and sit back and watch a flick for the pure entertainment of it – or just to see Robert Pattinson’s beautiful face.
