Still not much of a believer

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2010)

I will be the first to admit that as the Guy who loves Guy movies, the Twilight Saga caught my attention. Not because I intended to pick up the book and read it but because the wife became a twihard fan and I just had to see what the hype was all about. It didn't take long to realize why this story attracted every teenage girl who has been conditioned to believe they deserve the perfect wedding, that you can indeed train your boyfriend and that if you so wish can even play multiple boys at one time. Hey, it's every girls dream. Again I say, girl, not woman, but girl. So when I was tortured into seeing New Moon trust me when I say I was about to lie to my wife about having to work late when Eclipse rolled out. Well gentlemen, I have to admit I was actually quite entertained. Being that I already know the whole darn story up to this point (without a choice) I went in understanding the role that Bella, Edward, and Jacob all played so when viewing Eclipse the dialog wasn't as painful as it was during New Moon or even the first movie. There was a little comedy, your typical simple dialog between the "triangle" and a heck of a lot more detail into the history of other characters. Now first let me be clear here, I come from the Vampire days where Vampires were bad asses and not these sparkling in the sun, falling in love with humans so to watch some of these Vampires battle it out with New Bloods was quite entertaining. Not to mention having the wolf pack team up with the Culligans was not a surprise, but pretty damn cool none the less. I honestly felt it was the part of the story that rewarded Men who had painstakingly struggled through the first two movies. Almost an ode to those Men that love their spouses so much that Eclipse was the action that all us Men longed for as we sacrificed our time and energy laughing our behinds off to that pathetic romance happening between the triangle. I mean for God sakes just do them both Bella and get it over with. Edward doesn't really seem to mind anyways! Oh, there is one scene I will state to all those Men who are going to brave this movie, if I were to go see Broke Back Mountain this scene I swear would have been in it. I never saw Broke Back but let me put it this way, it was pretty damn well  Man lovish  in either event if you see it you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I would suggest getting a drink at the snack bar during this scene. So all in all quite surprisingly different from the first two. Oh and I haven't read the books so I will state that for those who did I would agree, that red head Vampire was a wuss and in no way reflected a blood thirsty violent Vampire out for revenge. But she was hot ... I'll give her that.
