The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

byFreddy=Legend

The third installment in the Twilight franchise eclipses (pun intended) New Moon in every possible way.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse continues the story of Bella Swan(Kristen Stewart) as she struggles to maintain a “normal” life with Edward Cullen(Robert Pattinson), while attempting to keep her friendship with Jacob Black(Taylor Lautner). Of course, the hatred Edward and Jacob have for one another isn’t going away. This time around, Victoria(now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) is creating an army of Vampire newborns to take out the Cullen clan. The Cullen’s form an uneasy truce with the wolf pack and decide they need to work together to protect Bella at all costs.

The movie is surprisingly very different from the first two films. Of course changing directors will do that. David Slade(Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) helms this film, it’s obvious. He brought an edge to the franchise not seen before. The opening of the film is very dark, gothic; adding a new layer of uneasiness to the story. He balanced the big action scenes, as well as the intense feeding scenes very well with the teen melodrama of Bella’s life. The film also features two flashback sequences telling the history of Rosalie and Jasper. These two scene were my favorite in the entire film. They drew you in to another period and showed you just how big the Twilight universe could be. Plus it was great to just see a different side, a more human side to Rosalie and Jasper after being background characters for two films. [CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST IN OUR FORUM]
