New Moon Reviews

I haven't seen the flick yet, however the reviews I'm reading are so/so. Places like rotten tomatoes, and reelzchannel aren't loving the second installment.

Here's an example: "This is a soap opera, folks — and acceptable escapism for those old enough to see it yet still young enough to shriek at undead dreamboats."— Anna Smith, Time Out New York. (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/5097/new-moon-reviews)

A nicer review: "[Director] Weitz brings a few more flickers of humour to the narrative, but the essential, appealing earnestness of the book remains, whole-heartedly embraced. New Moon is a story about longing, and loss, and the dangers of desire."— Philippa Hawker, The Age (Australia)(http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/5097/new-moon-reviews)

I am planning on seeing it, of course. But I will be waiting until it calms down, and I'll go when the theater won't be packed, and my $11 fee won't be wasted on teens talking and screaming.
Did you see it? Please let me know what you thought. Write a quick review, click on comments below.
I'll post my review once I see it.
Thank you!
