It is a reoccurring problem...

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2010)

THE FIRST shot of the Eclipse movie is overwhelming. It is dark, violent and perfectly blending with Howard Shore's score. But just after that, the graph falls down, and near the end, your thoughts for the film are as same as other two Twilight films - Bland and boring.
New director David Slade tries too hard to improve the film. He does succeeds in some parts, but the disastrous script of the disaster book never improves. Maybe the screenwriter, Melissa Rosenberg is to be blamed as she is too faithful to the book. The story of the film is the same - Edward wants Bella not to turn into Vampire and constantly telling her cons of becoming a vampire, Jacob insisting Bella to choose him as he is much more human than Edward apart from showing his six packs and Bella, this time, being confused about choosing Edward or Jacob.
The film has prolonged dull and boring dialogs and most of the characters spend most of their time talking, wandering in the forests and kissing.
For sake of story, the film has a one, pretty much about Victoria and her new-born Army of Vampires, which hunt down Bella to avenge her boyfriend. The whole of army and Victoria appear near the end, and gets defeated within five minutes. Then again, talking continues until the final minute of the film.
The reoccurring problem in Twilight series is its weak storyline, and shallow and irritating characters. Bella is most irritating of them. Characters of Edward and Jacob are out of this earth - they fight over a girl who has nothing special.
Anyways, the only good thing about the film is its better pacing then New Moon. New Moon was unwatchable piece of crap, but this one finds better footing. It drags, but comparatively less than its predecessor. Another good thing was decent cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe, who made this film watchable. Much anticipated score by Howard Shore was average, and no where near his top scores. I would also like to praise David Slade, who did a lot of hard work on the film, but you really can't do anything if you have the wrong script to work with. Acting has also somewhat improved, and Kirsten Stewart is now bearable. Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are on the same level, anyways.
First Twilight film was below average, the second one was bad and the third is exactly the same - bad. It hardly takes the story ahead, and its all about the same thing - Bella willing to become Vampire, Edward doesn't wants Bella to change into Vampire, Jacob arguing with Edward for Bella and Bella telling both of them to stop fighting over her. Hopefully some one tells Summit to either stop, or write good scripts with a lots of changes from the book. Otherwise, the problem will persist for other two parts and the whole saga will be eclipsed forever.
