Critics Don't like New Moon - So What?

Reviews coming in aren't all positive for New Moon. My thoughts are that Critics aren't neccessarily fans, they haven't neccessarily read the books and so they aren't very good judges.

I mean, the movie follows the book quite well, if it didn't, fans would freak out, and given the phenom that the books have created, and the millions of fans of the book, the movie's best bet is to be as close to the book as possible.

So, critics don't like certain things, So they think it should take more creative liberites, I think that would have resulted in pissed off fans and less success personally.

Also, this movie is #1 - by a long shot and breaking a ton of records... so... critics can eff off ;)

Twilight Lexicon raised some great points about these critics via twitter:

  • “Side note, critics who don’t like it r all male. Not saying any1 in danger of an Oscar, but I find Transformers just as boring.

  • What they are seeing as slow (IMO) works as the depression Bella goes through. Thinking the fanbase not gonna have an issue

  • Press has never “gotten Twilight”. I could explain it, but they are so set in their cubbyhole visions they don’t want to see why it succeeds

  • It’s a woman’s POV film that resonates & they don’t know what the hell to make of it b/c they can’t get out of their own way fast enough.

  • Let me break it down: It’s the plot, stupid. It’s not that we don’t see the flaws, we love it despite the flaws! And that ticks the guys off

  • In 2008: Iron Man, Indiana Jones 4, Hancock are far from quality but did well. Why? They resonated w/guys. Why is what girls want a mystery

  • It’s going to be a top 10. Fans are happy, drive the box $, & love it. How do ya like them apples?. Oh yeah…One more thing..Bite me!”

    You go Girls, it's true... all of it and i love it!
