I will always remember 'Remember Me' as the first Robert Pattinson film I watched post-Batman announcement. It's also a film that, even though I watched it nearly 2 weeks ago, I'm having trouble putting my thoughts together. It's a mostly dramatic (and without humor) romance between two people flooded with tragedy. And tragedy is the name of the game with this one, as you're never really free of it. The quote from the movie that sticks with me most is "whatever you do in life will be insignificant. but it is very important that you do it anyway". Perhaps that's a good way of looking at the movie. It's not a great film, but it's important you see it anyway? The movie never really feels like a full arc or story, even after its' final tragic moments. But in coming full circle with my opening, Robert *Battinson* is actually quite good here.

A drama like this will split quite a few people. Having Robert P. as the main character will only multiply that by quite a bit. There is the people who would watch anything with him in it and of course there is the people who cannot watch him anymore (after his Twilight role). The question of course, if this will play a role in the future, say in a few years, when many will probably have forgotten about Twilight and will it cloud their judgment (in either direction)?
I can only talk for what it does now. And it does tell a really interesting story. It is slow moving and yes it will not affect all people in the same way. It will be obvious from the beginning if you are able to enjoy this ... if you have doubts after 10 minutes, you might as well stop watching. But if you bear with it, you will watch a really good movie. Robert and Twilight put aside ...
Not as bad as I was led to believe, but it didn't do much for me either
While I don't consider Remember Me a good movie, I don't consider it a bad one either, it's much better than I have heard critics make it out to be. I am indifferent to the Twilight Franchise but liked Water for Elephants(all with Robert Pattinson) so I wasn't expecting much in general. Actually the acting wasn't bad at all, in fact it was pretty darn good. Although I wasn't entirely crazy about his character, Pattinson is surprisingly good and he does show some believable chemistry with the lovely Emile De Ravin, while Pierce Brosnan is excellent. The film looks very nice too, with lovely cinematography and scenery, and the soundtrack is fitting and affecting. The direction is also better than expected. However the script is clichéd and weak at times, and I just couldn't connect to the characters or the story. Pattinson's character especially was tiresome to watch, and the story is rather dull and predictable with some scenes such as the ending coming across as manipulative. In conclusion, not bad, not good, just a sort of shrug. 5/10 Bethany Cox
