Tell me if you see a problem with this: the majority of “New Moon” reviews are being posted my middle aged adults, and most of them are men! From their poor, negative reviews they clearly have not read the series, nor do they have any desire to. In result, their reviews are poorly written, clearly have been judged prior to viewing the movie, and are just way off base! I have yet to talk to one teen or even one young person in their 20′s or even early 30′s that did not have something to enjoy from this movie. Here are a few examples of the poor reviews I am talking about:
“Inept cinematography? Oh, yes. Dark and moody is one thing, but this is so murky you have to squint to figure out what’s going on.” Joy Tipping, Dallas City New.
“Weitz’s pacing is so limp you’re going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, “Hurry it up!”. David Edelstein, New York Magazine.
“A big bowl of adolescent romantic mush garnished with horror-lite action scenes and a rushed road trip, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is a mess.” Tom Long, Detroit News.
Where are the reviews from actual Twilight Saga fans that have read each and every book? That know the movies will never quite be as good as the books, but still go to the theaters to watch and enjoy their favorite love story? I believe those reviews would have a slightly different tone. What do you think?

that’s really weird to read. sounds like they havent read the books at all or they are over the hype of the twilight saga. too bad because the books and the movies are amazing.
People are so willing to go against what is “popular” we don’t NEED some funky butt reviews from some old guy who hasn’t read the books or even cares. At least get a woman in her 30′s! Heck, any woman will do these guys need to go. TWILIGHT FOREVER!
