The reviews are in, and a good chunk of them are mixed -- but in the best possible way!
People seem to be talking about how epic and flamboyant the film is, even if there are (clearly visible) flaws.
It sounds like a truly passionate work, and I look forward to catching it out tomorrow. Expect thoughts then.
My favorite Todd McCarthy puts it nicely: "like a Rolls-Royce on a rocky country road."
Sounds good to me.
Twilight is even more mixed, but of the worse kind. Some say it's pretty dreck-y, half-lived (no pun intended) adaptation of Stephenie (yes, with three Es!) Meyer's oh so popular novel that just lacks the cinematic pizzaz that should have been there.
It seems that director Hardwicke did not capture the teen spirit, as she did once before with Thirteen.
For what it's worth, Jeffrey Wells didn't think it sucked. My guess is as good as yours.
