Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner
Based on Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
The third instalment of the Twilight series. Bella can't fight the love triangle involving Edward and Jacob, but she's made up her mind and is trying to stick to it. Victoria is still trying to kill Bella to avenge her boyfriends death in Twilight. The warewolves and vampires are trying to get along and work together to thwart her efforts again, but they have difficulty getting past their prejudice.
I am a big Twilight fan, so this is a difficult review to write. I think that it is the best movie of the saga so far, and I doubt Breaking Dawn will be better. I'm a sucker for the love story, and I definately got my fill of it. The acting and chemistry has improved since the first movie. There is a more elaborate fight scene at the end than any previous installment.
I have two complaints about the movie. First, Jessica was validictorian? Seriously? When I graduated from high school the class president also gave a speech, and I felt that honor for the ditzy character would have been more convincing. I find it difficult to believe that Jessicas grades were higher than the Cullen's, Bella's and even Angela's. Second, I would have liked to see Bree Tanner be a stronger character. Granted, I read "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" by Stephenie Meyer before seeing the movie, but she seemed really scared and I would have liked for her to be braver.
For those of you who aren't into Twilight, save your money. If you didn't like the first two movies, you aren't going to like the third.
