Monotonal though enjoyable film

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2009)

Yes the movie is overlong, and yes its like a teenage soap opera, but if you've seen the first film you shouldn't really be expecting much more.
All throughout the movie I found myself anticipating a peak, hoping what seemed like filler would build up to something greater. Well, there was somewhat of a peak, but it felt disconnect from what came before. In terms of story the movie fell kinda flat. If anything it just felt like a set up for the next one.
So why the 7? Well, I was entertained, and despite the film never going anywhere, my attention and interest never wained. I found the characters intriguing and dialogue interesting enough to add eclipse to my list of 'want to see movies'
If you weren't a fan of the first, you won't find much here to change your mind. But if you were, you should be adequately entertained.
