I'm with you. Maybe that's why he got Eclipse out of the way today.The Lizard of Odd said:Here's hoping friday's movie will make up for this...C'mon Airbender, don't disappoint!
Exactly why I prefer Rotten Tomatoes to MetaCritic, and wish they compiled game reviews like they did movie reviews. Although this movie's getting a 50% on RottenTomatoes, though.Vrach said:You do of course realise that 98% of things between 50 and 60 there is marked as pure shit? Reviewers that have a 1-100 thing very rarely give a below 50 rating. Especially to something like this. To translate a 58 for you, it means "it will appeal to a number of people but it's still shit".ciortas1 said:And you know what's the most terrifying thing about this? I just checked out Metacritic. The Twilight "Saga": Eclipse has an average rating of[HEADING=1]58.[/HEADING]Fifty-fucking-eight.
What little hope I had left in the majority of movie critics is now lost forever.
Oh, that explains a lot.Arkhangelsk said:More like implicit pro-life views.Not G. Ivingname said:What? The political view of Bizzaro Loony land?Arkhangelsk said:I'm getting the message about what Stephanie Meyer's political views are.Not G. Ivingname said:Wow, Twilight has done the impossible for being a scary "horror" (it isn't by any means, but is technically listed as such) movie, not for the monsters (though it is scary how they made A GIANT BATTLE BETWEEN WEREWOLFS AND VAMPIRES A HUG FEST), not for trying to break us menatly with its imagery, but for the message is trying to hammer into our brains.
I don't believe that video games cause violence. I don't believe that gay people can't be good parents, teachers, or anything else. But Twilight? It is one of those things that has the power to change the thinking of its target audiance, the 14 year olds that are just hitting puberty, but still have childhood memories of Prince Charming. It is only going down hill from here folks... you know what is are two things that are going to happen in the next movie?
One, (this is minor enough to be cut from the movie, but you know how many girls have read the books?) a girlfriend is going to get ripped to shreds by her werewolf boy friend, but stay with him because, I am not kidding here, "he lost control, but still knows he loves her."
Two, Belle is going to get pergnet with Edward's child and is going to decide to keep it, EVEN THOUGH HE RAN OFF AGAIN AND THE BABY HAS A HIGH CHANCE OF KILLING HER ON DELIVERY!
Can somebody honestly tell me that they want their child to read this? Or watch this?
Please, write your own book series- include the words "Vampires", "Love Triangles" and "Messages". They will probably publish without reading and you can try and inject some sense into the younger generation.lesterley said:Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
As probably the only WOMAN over the age of 40 who reads the Escapist, I could not agree more with Bob's assessment of the Twilight series.
I want to puke whenever I think of the underlying anti-feminist messages these films are instilling in young women. I have to go back and watch old episodes of "Buffy" to dull the pain.
