I must admit, I am one of those huge fans of the Twilight series. I have read all the books and anxiously await for each new movie to come out. Yes, that means I was at the midnight viewing of the opening of course along with Glam Gab herself. Its my one weird thing and I have no problem admitting to my obsession. I had so much anticipation for this film and boy did it go above and beyond anything I ever expected. Eclipse is by far the best film of the three so far and leaves all those Twilight fans on the edge of their seats and wanting more. I was nervous about yet another new director for the series, but man did he deliver. Unlike the previous films, it was fast paced, funny, had character development and the best part was that it was exactly according to the book. What more could you ask for?
I have to stay true to form because this blog is my opinion, not one of a major critic who has to analyze films according to a certain set of rules. I am a huge fan of the series and therefore I will be giving my honest opinion on the movie. Obviously the film will not be close to winning any Oscars anytime soon but it fulfilled more than any Twilight fan could ask for.
THE GOOD: The whole movie! Everyone go see it now. And to all those haters, go see it any way because you'll be a new Twihard as soon as you see it. As I said earlier, it is so different than both of the two previous films and the exciting yet compassionate story of Eclipse will keep you interested regardless of your opinion. It was fast paced, funny, had character development and followed the book exactly. And come on, who doesn't love a good love triangle?
THE BAD: Unfortunately, I must admit there was one problem for this movie. The special effects were unrealistic and quite honestly a wreck. SPOILER ALERT! When Victoria is finally killed, her dead corpse had the audience laughing at how fake it looked. And common, Bella wears a T-shirt outside in the middle of a snow storm? There were definitely some flaws in the execution of the production.
Go see it now! I don't want to list all the things specifically about the film because I don't want anything to be ruined and to be honest, theres just to much to list when it comes to why I loved it. I give this movie an A++!
