I went to the cinema to see a special viewing of the third Twilight film, Eclipse, and if I were to describe it in five words; Bella sad, Jacob shirtless, Vampires. The past two films were made bearable by a good soundtrack, and an interesting way of shooting; I could lie back and relax to the sounds of Grizzly Bear and Ok Go and watch all the pretty people. But in this film it all changed; gone was the nice music and the indie shots of America's landscape, I had to actually get involved with the plot and I won't lie, it wasn't great. The parts that didn't involve the main storyline were actually quite good, I enjoyed watching Riley and his gang run about, and all the past lives of the Cullens. However, the main storyline just couldn't keep me interested; as a good friend said, 'you would've thought a love story involving a vampire and a werewolf would be more exciting'. There's not much more in it than that Edward loves Bella (in a slightly psychotic manner), Jacob loves Bella, and Bella loves Edward, and tells Jacob that she loves Edward, and then stays with Edward.
For all the Twilight lovers, I'm sure you won't be disappointed - there are plenty of shots of topless Jacob, and Edward's sparkling face, but as a film it doesn't quite hold its own. Good muscles though.
An actual eclipse; more fast-paced than the film itself?
