Reviews

"The most melodramatic installment in the series, but if you're willing to suspend your disbelief (and laughter), it's a compelling and entertaining ride." - Cara Nash, FILMINK Australia

"It is in many respects the best installment of the franchise as its stars go from sullen kids to sullen young adults, where their expressions look more natural." - Scott Bowles, USA Today

"The Twilight films manage to cleverly blend melodrama with supernatural thrills, and while the film is not without its silly moments and cringeworthy dialogue it does deliver the drama and emotional highs we have come to expect." - Mark Adams, Daily Mirror [UK]

"Really a half-film, and the boring half at that. Such is the nature of things dubbed "Part 1." It's a film about things that will inevitably happen, but don't until the next, more important part." - Phil Villareal, OK! Magazine

"Fails to inject its few key scenes with any life thanks to a woeful script, poor direction and lacklustre performances, though fans of the franchise should be used to that by now." - Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

"This weekend, millions of people around the globe will be conned into handing over their hard earned cash to see a film with no plot, no action and no climax." - Matthew Toomey, Brisbane

"The vampire drama of Twilight is all about the romantic agony of eternity, and this franchise feels like it's going on for ever." - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

"An eventful but bloodless first half of the smash series' finale." - Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

Reviews:

"A splendid period swooner that delivers classic romance and an indelible insider's view of 1930s circus life." - Peter DeBruge, Variety

"Like 'The Notebook,' but with an elephant, the unexpectedly good film version of "Water for Elephants" elevates pure corn to a completely satisfying realm of romantic melodrama." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

"In an age of prefabricated special effects and obviously phony spectacle, it's sort of old-fashioned (and a pleasure) to see a movie made of real people and plausible sets." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Can the film live up to Sara Gruen's best-selling novel, an adored word-of-mouth phenomenon? [Yes.]" - Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News

"It's a tale tastefully told and beautifully filmed, but Water for Elephants suffers from a pronounced lack of chemistry between its leads." - rottentomatoes.com

"Will please fans of Sara Gruen's best seller, but it lacks the vital spark that would have made the drama truly compelling on the screen." - Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

"The script by Richard LaGravenese, who is well-versed in adapting popular fiction such as Bridges of Madison County, lacks the sparkle of his best work." - Claudia Puig, USA Today

"[Witherspoon and Pattinson] are game, but the pulse between them approaches Dracula's resting heart rate." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"Add romantic chemistry to the list of things that fall flat in the film, alongside dialogue and acting." - Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

"If basking in the simulacrum of [Pattinson's] need-filled gaze is your bag, then by all means..." - Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies
