Eclipse continues the Twilight Saga and nothing really changes.

Rating: 4/10 (18 February 2019)

Eclipse continues the story Twilight and New Moon began. It follows on Bella Swan reuniting with her boyfriend-vampire Edward Cullen and with the rising threat of vampire Viktoria trying to get revenge on her and Edward because they killed her boyfriend in the first film of the series. It also follows the struggle between her and Edward because she wants to be a vampire but he doesn't want this life for her. The third big conflict is the one between Edward and Jacob, now at the same place fighting for Bella's heart.
I hate to repeat myself and it does get a bit better, but still: the movie is so slow. But besides that I liked the conflict with Viktoria, but what I didn't like was Edward always trying to either get her to marry him or trying to talk her out of the idea of becoming a vampire. Like that was the only thing the two talked about in the movie. What I also didn't like was the conflict between Edward and Jacob. The main reason was that I didn't believe Edward that he loves Bella as much as I believed Jacob. And they became 'friends' too soon.
From a logical standpoint I didn't really understand why the Volturi wanted to kill the Cullens so badly. I thought they wanted to use the power of their children and Bella. Or have they changed their plan? Maybe they should have taken a little more time explaining that instead of three minutes of stuttering and awkward pauses from Bella's and Edward's side. But besides that the characters were fine: The Cullens are great as always. I didn't really like Viktoria. She is just this stupid villain with nothing on her mind but revenge. It's like she doesn't even have her own thoughts and feelings anymore, she's just moved by hate.
It's not a step down, but at the same time not really a step up from New Moon. I just hope it gets better after this one.
