David Slade finally nails the material!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2010)

Twilight the book series area guilty pleasure written in such a way that makes it very easy to connect with it's characters and story lines. twilight the original film was a big time guilty pleasure. Quality wise it wasn't very good, uneven performances, uneven direction accompanied by some slick cinematography, a great soundtrack and an entrancing chemistry from Pattinson and Stewart. It's sequel fared much better. Although critically trashed the film was made for the fans. Anyone whose read New Moon knows how extremely close it is to the book. All the good and all the bad that film was accompanied by a solid lead performance from Stewart, some truly inspiring cinematography, a giant helping of wonderful creative and confident direction. This installment Twilight Saga Eclipse is a merging of the formula that both those films so successful and add it's own touch of pizazz with Director David Slade who just absolutely nails the material. Fans will love, the regular movie going audience will love it, critics seems to be loving it for te most part it's just a great movie. The performances are so solid in this film and the chemistry between the main threesome of main characters is so enthralling and believably complex in this installment. the effects seem to have been cleaned up and refined, the cinematography is once again beautifully striking although not as creative last time around, the score is breathtaking and the film just feels fresh, like nothing you've ever seen before. The film is just so entertaining and involving on so many levels but almost flawless with the exception of two things why change Victoria from Levre to Howard. I mean Howard didn't have a big enough role to merit that change. If it was performance they were looking for I could understand Howard being a better actress. But it just seemed to be a wasted change. And the one thing I hated was Bella's wig it just looked awkward and weird in so many scenes besides that the new editions to the story line fill it out nicely if only for a brief period of time and at the center of this truly brilliant film is just a theme of graduation, self discovery and decisions and not in the way you would be led to believe something we've all experienced. It was just wonderful without a doubt the best of the series, the best of the summer, the best of the year and one of the best movies I've ever seen. I just can't see them topping this one.
