在我設立這個「後twilighter時代」的分類之初,第一個想到的就是Rotten Tomatoes。
這個毫不客氣、以一部電影的「腐爛指數」來評分的網站,
我一直覺得,在他們手裡,Twilight應該佔不到什麼便宜。
(在這個網站裡發言的人,也都以毒舌為樂。)
但是後來我一直都沒有真正「閒到有時間」來好好看一看RT的文章,
所以一直沒有寫。
今天有很閒了嗎?其實也並沒有。
但是我決心要寫了它。
首先就是它的TOMATOMETER。
新鮮程度是49%,這樣算是......爛番茄。
大家都同意的評語是:
「Having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen,
Twilight will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated.」
有187篇評論列入計分,92篇認為它算新鮮,95篇認為它爛掉了。
這些寫評論的人,似乎是各大媒體人,男女老少都有,來隨機看個幾篇:
「Not quite the solid grounding a major new franchise needs, but a stylish and enjoyable
supernatural emo romance. 」
「It is, in its unworldly way, sweetly idealistic with a charm all of its own: a teen romance
to get your teeth into. 」
「The two hormonal teenagers sizzle like sausages in a frying pan. The supernatural stunts
don't disappoint. Neither does the deadpan wit.」
「I watched Twilight in a cinema full of young girls who, when they weren't texting friends
and guzzling soft drinks, giggled, sighed and exhaled with a passion that was not only
endearing, but a measure of its emotional truth. 」
「Vampires and romance are nothing new, but Twilight gives them enough of a twist to make
it interesting and the film delivers enough on that twist to make it far better than its outlying
plot makes it sound.」
「Bella, a fairly unlikable young woman with a glum expression, has "put a smell" on Edward,
a ruby red-lipped Nosferatu. It's a tedious stare-down. Bring a thermos of espresso. And an
alarm clock. 」
「Twilight is pure fantasy, emphasis on the pure... it's a soft-focus reverie for girls who want to
be Disney princesses and have their bad boys, too, as long as the bad boys are models of
tormented self-restraint. 」
「As lovers, these two are not convincing. They don't produce enough of a spark to set off
gasoline vapor. 」
「Dumbest vampire movie...ever.」
但是在Top Critics的部份,列入計分的32篇評論中,卻有19篇認為它新鮮喔,
新鮮程度是59%,也還是算爛番茄,但是有好一點點。
這個部分一樣是各說各話,而且好評跟壞評來自同樣的點~導演!
有人說,因為導演的關係,所以這部片成功了;
「Director Catherine Hardwick leads her young cast through the story's soap opera elements
with honest respect for the material. 」
另一個人說,因為導演的關係,這部片失敗了。
「Catherine Hardwicke's choppy direction plays all this much too seriously. The film lacks
the clarity and cleverness that might have ameliorated the campier moments. 」
另外,在RT Community的部份,有5557篇評論,新鮮程度也是59%。
這個部分一看就知道都是老百姓打的分數,因為最多的兩種分數是「0%」和「100%」!
幫他們約一約時間地點,大家好好打一架解決算了!
不過RT也還是沒能免俗地搞了個Twilight Corner,想要搭個順風車。
「RT has given us Twi-hards our own little corner to indulge in Twilight-mania with extensive
coverage of the first Twilight film plus news, interviews, trailers & photos, and blog-style
features from yours truly, RT's resident Twilighter! Check back in for news and updates as we
track filming on New Moon, due in theaters this November!」
至於Robert Pattinson本人,也有TOMATOMETER喔,
他有67%,算是一顆.....還算新鮮的番茄。
