It wasn't that bad

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2010)

OK, so i was a late bloomer into the book craze, i read the first one about 3 weeks after it came to theaters (i read the book before i saw it), but then ate up the other books, one right after the other! Yes, i am an adult, and i loved the books, but strictly for the joys of getting lost in a story, they are by far not amazingly written or anything like that, so don't start busting my chops about literature, OK.... but, as i was saying, i loved the books, but the movies....Twilight, decent, it was nice to see the characters visually, i think they did a decent casting job. I love Kristen Stewart as Bella, and i think Rob Pattinson is great for Edward...but i think the lack comes from the directors and the screenplay writers Saying that, i thought New Moon was actually pretty bad...i reserved my copy of Twilight on DVD and haven't even considered purchasing New Moon, maybe by the time Eclipse comes out on DVD i'll get it.
but back to the topic, i actually enjoyed Eclipse a lot.
Yes, like the other reviews, there was a LOT of story left out. It did seem too fast and too slow at the same time. However, the makeup i actually thought was decent this time! Twilight you could see the makeup on everyone, New Moon, not that much vampire work, so not that big of a deal, and Eclipse, i actually like the stylization of the vampires...they were meant to look a little stony and not just white. Yes, the score sucked, the sound editing could have been a little smoother, and the transitions between scenes should have been a little more blatant sometimes. However, as these movies go, i really did enjoy this. Maybe they'll release an extended version DVD to fill in some of the gaps, or maybe, now that they are doing Breaking Dawn in two films, they extend some of the Eclipse story into Breaking Dawn. Anyway, it was fun, i'd go see it again.
