ECLIPSE MOVIE REVIEW
Description
Bella cant make decisions,
Bella loves Edward,
Wait...she loves Jacob,
No....she loves both of them?
Um....
What can really be said about the Twilight Saga that hasn't already been said? It sucks. It is a mockery of the cinema. It is a mockery of literature. It is a wannabe Harry Potter. It makes Vampires into sparkling freaks. It makes Werewolves look like big and lovable puppies. It contains a cast of bad actors. It has terrible special effects. Look, I can go on and on...and it all comes down to....it Sucks.
Somehow, or another the folks at Summit Entertainment have managed to scratch together enough money to provide viewers with yet another installment in the so-called epic saga of Twilight. The folks at Summit Entertainment unsurprisingly produce yet another terrible movie.
I was somehow lucky enough to garner a ticket to the Midnight showing of Eclipse. People were lining up to see the movie as early as 8:30 PM. I'm sure that in some locations it was even worse. I arrived to wait for the movie at around 9:50 PM. I sat in a lawn chair and chatted with some friends. At 11:00 PM the theater decided to seat everyone. After spending a great deal of money on Popcorn and a large drink I was soon in my seat waiting for the movie to start. As, I sat I talked to people around me, I tried to understand why people are so compassionate for this thing called Twilight. I'd post the answer to that question in this review however, I find myself unable to because I just lack the capacity to understand how anyone could be so enthralled with this series. Eventually, the movie started playing. It started out promising...trailers for, "Narnia 3", "Paranormal Activity 2", and "Harry Potter 7".
Then...Eclipse started.
Within, the first few seconds of the movie you suddenly realize. What am I doing here? Why am I wasting my time on yet another bad movie? Maybe, it's just the spirit of the movie. The way that it's able to bring together not only people who love the movie series but people that hate the series as well. The way that it's able to produce countless jeers and cheers from the audience or some random quote from an audience member. And, the so bad, it's funny scenes in the movie.
Or, maybe we're all just insane.
To be fair, "Eclipse" is certainly the strongest movie in the series. But, really that's not saying much......
The acting has improved a bit from the first two movies. Dare I say it, the special effects are maybe starting to become "somewhat" decent. However, the negative far outweigh the positive. The story is still dull beyond belief and dissolves into a bunch of boring conversations. Conversations that include: Bella and Edward, Bella and Jacob, Jacob and Edward, and even Bella, Edward, and Jacob!
Another boring movie.
Another waste of time. But, millions will still see it. And, millions of Twihards will be superbly satisfied.
On, one final note it's nice to see that the series is starting to show signs of improvement. With promise of Oscar winning director, Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) directing the next installment maybe...just maybe the Twilight saga will finally be able to receive that much sought after Fresh Potato review. Until then though it's looking like Eclipse is yet another.........
