Most audiences will have to wait until this spring to glimpse Twilight vamp Robert Pattinson as a rascally womanizer in the period drama Bel Ami, but select lucky Belgian fans got a chance to screen the film early this week. Since the trades have yet to pass judgment, let's take a look at what the netizens had to say in their Bel Ami fan reviews: "Amazing!" "Stunning!" "A little bit psycho!" And, oh my -- "sexy thrusting!" More waxing poetic over RPattz's heavenly buttcrack (and oh yeah, his performance) after the jump.
The period tale, adapted from Guy de Maupassant's novel, follows the exploits of Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson) as he sleeps his way through Parisian high society bedding ladies (Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas) left and right. What did these citizen critics have to say following Bel Ami's debut in Belgium?
From @NissaStew:
OMG ROB IS HOT IN BEL AMI!!!! HIS EYES IN THIS MOVIE!!! DEAD AND YES FULL ASS IS HOT. HIS ACTING IS REALLY REALLY GOOD! HE SOMETIMES LOOKED LIKE A SERIAL KILLER. THE INTENSITY OF HIS EYES IS UNF!!![sic] I don't think that EVERYBODY is going to like it because its a little slow. But God its a great movie.
From @JewelFen via RobertPattinsonUK:
There’s one scene, which we personally found a bit odd. George wants to have sex with Madeleine, she at first doesn’t but gives in. Then there’s an extreme side close up from George’s face, and you see a bit of Madeleine where she is practically raping him. He wants her to slow down, but she just keeps going on. You only saw George’s face, and that was just awkward. Of course he finishes, but not on a happy note..You have to see it to understand, it was filmed really weird.
From @bikinistew:
The part where he gets all crazy and mad because it seems like he loses everything, may be the strongest part of the film, in my opinion. He’s raging all the time, smashing some glasses against the walls (which you may have seen in the trailers too), He throws women on the ground and so on,..
From @GigglyKristen
After about 5 minutes it was already NAKED ROB time! HE’S THE THRUSTER! Yes, you can say that! I didn’t expect that it would be that way, it was shocking, intense, yeah we’re not used to see Rob like this. NAKED BUT AND THRUST, THRUST… I was already dead after 5 minutes!
And then he was wearing some 19th century underpants, and all I saw was BUTTCRACK!
From @iHeartBadasStew:
*SPOILER* Rob has one hell of an ass!
From IMDb user Blackbeanie:
To be honest, I don’t think this is Oscar material.
In sum: Angry RPattz is good, RPattz buttcrack is great, RPattz's thrusting is phenomenal, Uma raping RPattz is weird, and the jury's out on Bel Ami's Oscar chances. Works for me! Variety and THR, eat your hearts out.
