Chris Weitz Unfazed by Bad “New Moon” Reviews

Most found it surprising last week when some movie critics bashed “New Moon,” but director Chris Weitz says he wasn’t surprised a bit.

Weitz tells Entertainment Weekly, "Nothing surprises me in terms of reviews. Having been a reviewer myself, there are only two ways to spin this story. You can either be the one guy who says this is a great movie, or more likely, take a more jaundiced view of the whole thing.”

He continued, “And given the media blitz that has accompanied 'New Moon,' it's rather unsurprising. I do wish there was more appreciation for cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe. I think he's a genius, and I think he made something beautiful."

Chris says he is just relieved fans embraced the sequel, which earned $285 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
