The Forgotten Reviews

forgotten2.jpgI am sad this morning my good readership. One of the few films that I’ve truly been looking forward to post summer was The Forgotten. Solid cast, interesting trailer without giving ANYTHING away, and a cool title all worked together to build my hopes up for seeing it this Friday. But alas, even with Julianne Moore, Gary Sinise and Anthony Edwards this one is getting negative shouts from the critic community. They’re not all bad… but most of them are. Check it out:

“Frightening and enthralling, and quite often, but the film’s consummate thematic missteps cripple the project beyond repair.”
Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM

“Car chases, special-effects jolts, and a socially irrelevant sci-fi story line lifted whole from The X-Files.”
Mark Holcomb, VILLAGE VOICE

“Folks are inhaled into the sky like a line of coke up a producer’s nose. If ever there was a movie where the cast should be sucked into the stratosphere, this would be it.”
Mark Ramsey, MOVIEJUICE!

“…a serviceable thriller…even though it feels an awful lot like a mediocre ‘X-Files’ episode at times.”
JoBlo, JOBLO’S MOVIE EMPORIUM

Well, I’ll still be in line to see it this weekend and judge for myself. To check out more reviews of The Forgotten, head over to Rotten Tomatoes. To see the trailer for The Forgotten, go here.
