Rob that’s exactly how I feel when I read crap reviews about Remember me – they just don’t get it. That was until I read Monika Bartyzel from Cinematic article and review of Remember Me. Monika totally gets it where so many others haven’t. This is one of the best articles I’ve personally read to date. WARNING: If you haven’t seen the movie then DON’T read beyond here since ”spoilerish” is an understatement. Monika I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with a reviewer more. This film is brilliant and to those who don’t or refuse to see it for what it is – it’s definitely your loss.
“Welcome to the Post-Movie Coffee. Much like a discuss post, this occasional series will tackle thoughts our Cinematical writers are mulling over about recent releases. You know — those plot points and discussion topics you want to dig into with a coffee after a screening.
The idea for this series has been swimming around in my head for a while, but it never insisted on hitting the written page until now. Last week, Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me hit the screen. Before its release, public concern focused on how Pattinson would deal with a mainstream starring role that didn’t have him grimacing every time the tasty-smelling Bella Swan walked by. Once people saw the film and its controversial ending, however, the dialogue flipped. In what has to be one of the lowest scores for a decent movie, the film has suffered a 26% Fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes, with critiques flinging words like ridiculous, manipulative, overwrought, shamelessly exploitative, insignificant, trivializing, vile, cheap, and unforgivable.
And for the first time in a very long time, I completely disagree with popular critical opinion.
(Seeing that this is a discussion of the film and its ending, here is your obvious SPOILER WARNING.)”
