Robert Pattinson’s ‘Remember Me’ Gets Terrible Reviews

Published on March 12, 2010 by Cara Harrington · 10 Comments

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.

Well, Rob himself is getting great reviews so it’s not that bad. Also, casual movie goers seem to like the movie so I think critics read the spoilers beforehand and went in with their preconceived notions. The movie is lovely and the acting is good. This is one of the few movies I can honestly say does not deserve the reviews it’s getting.

I am not out to “make” anyone “look bad.” I think Rob is a down to Earth fellow. I am sure he will seek comfort in his gobs of cash, movie offers and certain co-star. Debbs, I think you may be right. The spoiler being aired out too early killed it.

I just got home from the movie….my opinion: meh. The acting is not that great, especially on behalf of deRavin (who’s on Lost, and therefore I love) and Chris Cooper (which I found most surprising).

Obviously, the ending brings up many, many emotions that have NOTHING to do with the film. To me, that’s a sign of a bad movie.

Hey, what a one sided article-check out Time, Newsweek, Roger Ebert and all the other positive reviews that Rotten Tomatoes is not posting! It was a great movie and I think a lot of people are just jealous of this actor!

I just saw this movie last night. I want a refund. Not even Pattinson’s swoon worthy looks could carry the lack of plot, pointless dialogue, poor casting and idiotic ending. Many people walked out of the movie and I wish I did too. What a waste of 2 hours!

I loved the movie and I cried off and on for a couple of days when I thought of the movie. It is really sad and had heartfelt performances by everyone. I don’t understand these bad reviews. Were we watching the same movie?
