Pattinson's a turkey in Remember Me: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan
Pattinson's a turkey in Remember Me: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan


The trailer for "Remember Me" is out, and it looks every bit as bad as I expected. In case you don't remember, this was the movie that was filmed all over New York last summer, with Robert Pattinson hounded by tabloids and 'tweeners.

It looks to me like it's much ado about nothing. This one plays to Robert Pattinson at his worst, one-dimensional, Jimmy dean wannabe, lost and lonely and tortured soul — oh give me a break.

There is the true Robert Pattinson character, moody, gloomy, brooding schoolboy — yes, the same role he reprises in every other movie. There's also Emile De Raven, who plays the daughter of the cop (played by Chris Coooper) who beats up poor Robert and then, of course, falls in love with Robert.

Dark secrets are unearthed, life is never the same. Robert is misunderstood. Poor Robert

The movie also stars Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, who may be the only bright spark in this film, playing Robert's father in his usual impeccable, arched-eyebrows way.

And then there's the teaser: "He broke the rules, he lost his way, then he let someone in." Wow, this stuff is really deep.

"Unforgettable story about the power of love" says the blurb on rememberme-movie.com. Yeah right, up there with "Madame Bovary" and "Anna Karenina."

Great, truly original and very unique — you might say. Bet a dime to a dollar I can spot the ending of this one already.

It's about as appetizing as the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers in my fridge.

It's set for a March 12 release.

This article is warmed-over turkey in my opinion.

This writer is never going to write a good word about Rob. He has been spewing forth this hatred against Rob from day one. I believe it is only done to get clicks and responses from Rob's fans.

This is just the usual hatefull reporting that we have come to expect from this writer who hasn't had a good thing to say about Rob since day one. This writer is obviously consumed with jealousy to be spewing so much hatred toward Rob in every single article he writes. He is so uninformed and poorly researched, not to mention downright predjudiced that all his hateful ramblings should just be ignored.

On Dec. 11 in an interview with the Daily Record, this is what Pierce Brosnan had to say about Rob’s performance in Remember Me: “I think when you see Remember Me, you’ll see Robert giving a fantastic performance. He’s really working hard to work on his performance and acting and who he is.” Since you know so little, Rob was the Executive Producer of Remember Me, and I daresay you couldn't guess the ending if your life depended on it because you don't seem very bright. Take your hate somewhere else, it isn't appreciated here.

Why do u hate this young man so much? There are millions of dollars going into the Twilight Saga that says it is not over rated. Stephanie Myers created something different and everyone who matters loves it!!!!!! P.S. You better get used to Robert Pattinson, because the world was exposed to him and his acting. He will be around!

I'm not a fan of Robert Pattinson myself, I don't go out of my way to watch his work. But I saw the installment of Harry Potter that he did, and the Twilight film, he did well enough in my opinion. I saw the trailer for Remember Me, and I will go to see it, it does look interesting to me. So before you judge the film at least see the film. You might be surprised.

What can I say that hasn't already been said so perfectly expressed by all the comments already posted except - my sentiments exactly! Know of what you speak or just shut up! I'm very excited to see this movie and even more to see Robert Pattinson. The trailer already has me hooked as well as the rest of the ensamble cast.

Oh, my God. What did this world come to when a self-proclaimed critic calls Anna Karenina a great love story!! You, sir, are an idiot with absolutely no reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Maybe you should read what Tolstoy himself said about Karenina and perhaps than you would realize (provided your brain is capable of doing so) that he detested the character of Karenina. This is not a love story of the main protagonist in any way, shape, or form. This is a tragedy that illustrates what happens to a soul that gets consumed by blind obsession and lust, to the point that a woman chooses a man over her child. This is a story about a different side of a coin, so to speak, that explores the ugliness of obsession, loneliness, desperateness, jealousy, and abandonment.  You have absolutely no depth of thought as you take this book at face value. If you never even read it, but instead took someone else's words for it and sold them as your own here, it would be more redeemable than if you actually read it and came to this conclusion on your own genius. You seem to have failed in life by not being able to realize your goals and dreams for obvious reason of being a uninsightful joke, and had to settle as a venom spitting, self-indulgent fool who is jealous of the others' success. My guess is that the Irish Central is your final career destination.

Wow, Rob Pattinson must have turned you down or something because your continuing vitriol for the man is almost amusing at this point. And truly, I hope you don't consider yourself a an actual film critic because the first rule as a journalist, no matter what the job is, DO YOUR RESEARCH. If you call this review objective or even worth reading then you fail yet again Mr. Brady. But it's not an objective review you wanted to give, is it? Nope, you like to trash Pattinson because you know it will bring tons of his "fangirls" out to yell at you, hence getting hits for your joke of a blog and helping you to keep your sad little job. Heck, that's the one smart thing you've figured out. Good on you! As for the film and your baseless comments, it's funny how a second-rate critic is trashing a script that was on the 2008 Blacklist and considered a hot property in Hollywood. You and your crystal ball should really get a job consulting for the studios because the studios think this project is a good one. How strange?? You should really let them know it's trash and an "warmed over turkey" right now, before they waste any more money on promoting this celluloid garbage! You should also let Oscar-winner Chris Cooper and Oscar-nominated Lena Olin know so they can prepare to be embarrassed that they actually chose this project to work on. I'm sure they'll be horrified to learn how awful it is. Oh and don't forget Mr. Bond himself. How terrible for him that he wanted to work on such drivel after such a long career. What were these actors all thinking?? They must have been dazzled by that Lucerferian Englishman with no talent! Of course, that's it.

Here goes Irish Central again. First of all are you a real paper? If you are criticizing Remember Me by the trailers than you are not a true critic. This paper seems to bash Robert Pattison, Kristen Stewart and the Twilight movies like you all are jealous or just plain stupid. Even though no one that ever reads your articles on the above even cares what you think..really. Who can take a journalist who uses their nickname BUZZ for their articles. This is sooo funny. Hey Buzz where Woody and the rest of the toys.

Your diatribe on a three minute trailer merely demonstrates that you don't know your rear end from your elbow and you obviously have something personal against this man. Does your boyfriend or girlfriend like him? Is that the problem? And the idea that you can guess the ending? You'll never guess it in a million years, dummy.

I don't even know why I am wasting time responding to your remark on this. However I wanted to just say that for someone of little emphasis as yourself it just goes to show that the more you degrade Mr. Pattinson or any such actor/actress just shows that you have nothing better to do than try to gain more attention through your petty reviews. If I was in the position of deciding whether or not you kept your job the only thing I would say is just like that of Mr. Trump himself...."You're FIRED".....

Ha ha. Once again coming from the short, fat guy that is extremely jealous of the budding gorgeous actor. What a joke you are. How sad it must be to be so unhappy that you once again spew your venom on this young lad. Jealousy is killing your pathetic soul.

Ewwww...yeah, you rating a movie by the trailer is awfully irresponsible. Are you sure that your review is not based on a personal issue with Rob? Jealousy perhaps? Come on now..be a big boy and stop whining. Rob is growing into a most spectacular actor and his "james dean wannabe" is quite compelling and attractive.

Note to people reading this for insight into the movie: Mr. Brady gave a review of the trailer, not the film. You can watch it yourself for free and make up your own mind! He even provided you a handy link.
