First let me say that I was highly impressed. Out of all the books, eclipse is my least favorite. Now don’t get me wrong, the book was good but it can’t hold a candle to any of the other 3 books {sorry}
At this moment I am going to be jumping around so please bear with me....
The scenes were Victoria goes in for the kill with Riley is horrible. I’m being honest, I hated it! I could barely tell if she bit or scratched Riley. I understand that vampires are so fast that you can’t see them {until they want you to} but we all knew it was Victoria. They could have showed her bright red hair or something.
Let me just say… its time to get some new teams going. Like team Alicia, did you see her when they were practicing for the war? She is the bomb! Don’t forget she can throw a pretty good party. And team Jasper, come to find out he actually talks. Plus Jasper and Alicia are a way cooler couple then Edward and Bella {just my opinion}. Now, let’s not forget about Emmitt, the Cullen brother that gets down played, he was looking really good in Eclipse.
Now I really love the fact that they’d showed how out of control the baby vampires where. Something you really don’t get a chance to see in the book. Another plus was having Bella sphere herself to save Edward just like one of the Quileute women did for her husband that was a werewolf.
Do you remember this scene? Jacob took Bella to hear their tribe story and the woman stabbed herself so the blood would distract the vampire? Well yeah… Edward was about to be destroyed by Riley & Victoria and Bella slit her risk to save him… it was so romantic. Speaking of romance, the way Edward proposed to Bella was so sweet… but anyway… the back and forth between Edward and Jacob was really getting on my nerves.
I knew it was coming {based on the book} but to see it on screen was annoying. Like pick a side and stick with it already, gosh! I must say Eclipse did give me a new found respect for Edward. I actually saw how he truly loved Bella and would do anything for her. I even consisted to move to team Edward {only for a split second}.
If you’d noticed I haven’t commented on Kristen Stewarts acting… surprisingly she didn’t get on my nerves, I actually enjoyed her. Maybe she’s growing on me :-/
All in all, another two thumbs up for the Twilight saga… Can’t wait for Breaking Dawn to come out, even though their turning it into a 2 part film {something I’m not happy about} but we can talk about that later. You can check for me on #teamJacob & #teamCullenfamily
