Twilight: Secrets of the Waxing Gibbous Widely Panned by Critics.
Coming as no surprise, the 675 million dollar blockbuster came in a paltry 4th place in the weekend movie wrap up. The film lacked real momentum going into the long summer weekend, and critics’ sharp criticism of the film surely didn’t help.  Indeed, as the 16th sequel to the franchise, perhaps fans were becoming tired of the Vampire saga, in which all onscreen characters have died and been resurrected at least four times.
“I just can’t get behind a film that starts where the last one left off- with all the lead characters killed by a rogue tidal wave. Resurrected Vampires surfing under the moon just seems tired these days”
says a former fan, who said his $62.50 movie ticket would have been better spent on Sony’s new Holodeck 360, a 3D projector that simulates your face projected onto Hollywood celebrities.
The film’s director, Jaden Smith, son of the late actor Will Smith, responded to critics with a curt, defensive sentence: “This film surpasses all assumptions of what the Twilight series was capable of, and is by far my best work ever.”
