Remember Me

I went to go watch this movie with my wife expecting a romantic movie, but I found this movie to be more of a thinking movie. I will be honest with you, I am usually pretty good at predicting movies, but I was totally off on this on and was shocked at the end. I thought Pattinson was really great in it, though I did find his roommate to be quite annoying. I thought the girl from lost that plays Claire, whose name escapes me was very believable as well. Her father in the show was also quite good, but this was expected of him. I had never seen the young girl that plays the sister before. I found her to be quite creepy in her role, but again very believable I would definitely recommend this movie to be people looking for some intrigue. Some girls looking for a total romance may not totally get what they ask for as there are some gruesome parts. Overall, very good.

I have no idea why people/critics are panning this film. Were we watching the SAME film???

Rob is fantastic in this. He shows true depth, feeling and understanding of this character. The female lead is refreshing.

The film is about love/relationships and family. NOT a romantic comedy so why anyone would complain that it didn't tick the boxes of some pointless romcon i don't know. It never said it WAS a romantic comedy!!! The ending is apt and beautifully done. It wasn't tacky in any shape or form. I commend Rob in choosing to do this film.

Well done mate.

WARNING: although this review has no spoilers in it, it is important that you go to the movie without any info on it if you can help it. Going to this movie naive, made it work for me.

I was at a screening of this movie tonight and wasn't looking forward to seeing it, but, did so to make my wife happy. In the end, it was a totally unexpected, heart rendering, emotional roller coaster ride of a movie. I sit here now a grown man who feels absolutely exhausted, but not from the agony having to watch the movie, but from the bipolar like seesaw of joy/agony/hope/desperation which this movie takes you through.

When I saw the guy from the vampire flicks, I expected a teenage type romantic comedy or the like and this film was anything but comedy. By the end of the movie Pattinson earned my respect as an actor and his supporting cast was pretty good as well.

The movie gets a bit slow at times, especially for fans of Twilight movies, but if you are patient, and pay attention to the characters they will draw you in and time will fly. And, in the end, you will think it was worth every minute spent watching.

As you can tell, I really liked this movie a lot.

My only complaint was Robs smoking... ;-)

I saw Remember Me a an advanced screening on Monday. A few points:

1. The trailers on television do not do this movie justice. This is not a light fluffy love story like I expected it to be. It's pretty intense and has some very poignant scenes.

2. Don't let the fact that Robert Pattinson is in the movie deter you from seeing it. This movie is nothing like Twilight, and he does a great job in the role of Tyler.

I went into the movie thinking it was going to be stupid and predictable...I was only going to see it because it was free. After leaving the theater, I was very glad I saw the movie and would have paid $10 to see the movie.

I attended a screening of "Remember Me" and thought it was a pretty good movie. I'm a big Rob fan but I'm trying my best to be objective here. I'll say this - if you are a Rob fan it is basically about two hours of heaven. My fan girl self wants to give it 10 stars - but I have to post what my movie fan self would rate it. It was nice to see him in something other than Twilight movies and I think he will surprise some of his naysayers. If you can give or take Rob and are just looking for a good movie to see what I'll say is this - it won't win any awards or anything but it was well acted and the story was interesting and unexpected.

My caution to you if you are checking for reviews for this movie before seeing it - make sure you take any "Contains spoiler" warnings seriously. You are better off going into it blind. I would steer clear of these reviews until after you have seen it. In fact - I wouldn't do any reading about it anywhere or watch any interviews just to be safe. Just my two cents.
