One of the most romantic films ever?

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2010)

Eclipse the third in the 'Twilight Saga' as it is now called is by far the best one of the three films. As I wrote in my review for the two former films they were both beautifully filmed and acted but I didn't really connect with the characters and found it all to be a bit slow, in Eclipse this is not the case.
The beauty of the other two is still there; once again the colour is immense with the scenes in the snow often hurting my eyes which is a good thing, I just don't understand why more filmmakers aren't abusing colour in the way Twilight because in the films its really effective. The soundtrack is also good with Muse, Metric and Florence & The Machine (three brilliant bands) all putting there music down for this.
What this film does better is that unlike the other two it actually starts straight away and you are instantly intrigued by this newborn vampire. However it is not this that gets me, it was the pure romance on display all the way through the film. Now I'm generally not the biggest fan of romance but this inter-species love is portrayed in a way that you couldn't help but feel for the characters, the way its done is far better than in the other two and the three main actors are growing into their characters with each film.
The only let down is that like the others Bella - played by Kristen Stewart - comes across as a total bitch when she says the line "I love you both" I actually felt really angry and wanted to throw something at the screen, I do not believe it's possible too love two people so obviously she doesn't love either of them or is lying to one.
Other than this minor let down though it is by far the best of the three and I have to say I am looking forward to the final installment because I know that even if the plot like in the previous is rubbish I will be able to admire the beauty of what can be achieved in colour and cinematography with modern technology.
8/10
