Twilight:Eclipse Movie Review


Okay so anyone who is acquainted with me knows I LOVE THE TWILIGHT SAGA! They also know that I go back in forth between team Edward and Team Jacob...I mean it's hard to choose! In the book Edward (Robert Pattinson) is just so darn charismatic how could you not love him and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is so fine in the movies that it makes him irresistible! I also have a little on-screen crush for the hottie vampire Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) ! So as you can see I am totally goo-goo eyes for all these hot vamps! My best friend teases me about my indecisiveness...and to her I say "I'm for the guy who looks hottest on the screen at the moment." No shame in my game...ladies! But anyway before I go on this tangent about who's hottest, I wanted to write a review about this movie. Now this my first written review and hopefully I do well (please comment and let me know how I did...there is always room for improvement!) .

First things first... rating the storyline on a scale of one to ten...it gets a 10! The storyline was beautiful! The movie kept you going from beginning to end. Much more action than its predecessors. Unlike Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse was filled with action from beginning to end! I also like the fact that the director and crew didn't forget details...such as Bella's scar from when she was bit by James was still present. A lot of times when movies have sequels and so forth they accidentally leave certain details out...even the smallest details can make all the difference.


*****Warning Spoilers Contained in this next section*****

I really appreciated the fact that the writers took the time out to show how Jasper and Rosalie (Nikki Reed) became vampires. For anyone who has watched the other movies you know that these were not included yet. If you read the first book you know that Alice (Ashley Greene) and some of Emmett's (Kellan Lutz) were included, but left out in the first movie.

Another thing I enjoyed was watching the love triangle between Edward, Jacob and Bella (Kristen Stewart). The heat was definitely turned up this time around, unlike in New Moon where it was only intense in the last couple of scenes. Even though I want Taylor Lautner for myself (my best friend thinks he is hers...sike!) the kiss between him and Kristen was awesome! I am shocked on how much chemistry she has with him! It didn't seem awkward at all which almost makes you think that you're watching real people and not actors. I love seeing her really struggle with her feelings about the two men...it's not as intense as the book but you can definitely see her inner turmoil.


I have to admit I'm still a little upset about Victoria's original actress, Rachelle Lefèvre being replace by Bryce Dallas Howard. In my opinion she did an okay job, I personally feel Rachelle would have done better. Despite that little change the addition of the new born vamps was awesome, Riley Biers (Xavier Samuel) did an exceptional job in certain scenes at conveying his emotions particularly at the lake scene his intensity was absolutely beautiful!

All and all the movie was awesome and it's a must see! If you have not seen it yet please do and if you have encourage others to go see it.

For all you Twilight haters you must sit and watch these movies I promise you the movie is awesome. For those of you who don't like Twilight because it lacks "action" TRUST they make up for it in the third installment! So get out there and see what you've been missing!


P.S. There will be a follow up blog to this one so please keep checking with my site to read part two.
