Too rushed

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2011)

Loved 'New Moon' but felt like they put a special delivery rush order on 'Eclipse'. For the life of me still trying to figure out what the big rush was. Sorry, silly me, the answer is money. I know the studios must love to cash in on the frenzy, but slow down and think about the next one, and the one that follows. I know we're silly little girls, but that doesn't mean you have to treat us like silly little girls that can't tell a good movie (New Moon) from a rush job (Eclipse). The love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob played better in my mind than on screen. Maybe it was the acting. Maybe I'm getting old and realize that the soppy stuff a lot of women need is made up in their own minds and our interpretation and imagination of it is much stronger than what's put on the screen. Maybe, just maybe, it was not so great acting. I love the concept of the love triangle, thought it played nicely in New Moon. Thought it wasn't played so well in Eclipse. Also, I believe that they got off the track. This may be what bothered me most. It seems like they wanted to make a stab at horror and action in Eclipse. That wasn't the author's intention. It's not supposed to be an action-horror movie. Are there not enough of those already out there?
