Eclipse. It sucked. Horrible. There are a few points that puzzle me and I’m sorry, but you’ll have to suffer through them to get too the end.
EDWARD IS A PSYCOTHIC, CREEPY AND CONTROLLING BOYFRIEND
He doesn’t know the limits and if I were movie-Bella I would scream and run. Hard. Geez, what kind of guy takes things out of your car to ‘’protect’’ you? In the books it’s not quite as stomach-turning and I actually find it kinda cute there. But in the movie, when he suddenly is in the car next to her and says nothing, he’s not all that perfect no matter how ‘’amazingly sculpted his ivory chest’’ is. This guy lies to her ‘for her protection’, creeps up in her room at night and repeatedly tells her she doesn’t know what she wants. I say: RESTRAINING ORDER!
Their communication is not healthy
I’m single at the moment, so I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but normal couples in love don’t act like this. Yeahyeah, I know, they’re supposed to be special, a vampire and a human and they have an amazing bond, they can’t live without each other, blaahblaah. Don’t they ever LAUGH? Or talk at a normal speed, without all the heavy breathing (or in Edwards case, sniffing) and the glares back and forth. They keep telling us how much they love each other, well, to me it seems like they are just keeping together because no one else wants them. But I’m coming back on that. And, something that has to do with this, where the heck is that chemistry RPatzz and KStew supposedly have? I only see two drama queens and a staring competition. Because you know, they don't share any interests, because neither of them have any interests. They don't have the same views on philosophy, because neither of them is any deeper than a teaspoon. In fact, the only "real" reasons we see for the mutual attraction are that he's pretty, and she smells good.
(In the books it seems like they actually have fun together....)
You know, it’s possible to film faces from a normal distance, we don’t have to see every freckle
What’s with all the close-ups? They scare me. The director is trying to make a point, I guess, but he fails. I GET it, dude. They LOVE each other that’s why they are close ALL THE TIME. But we don’t have to be that close. We can see they’re heartbreaking romance evolve from a decent distance.
Why do Bella’s eyes look dead?
Kristen Stewart has blue-green-or-even-called-aqua coloured eyes and they make her wear lenses. I like that, you know, go that extra mile for your character. Unlike that ugly guy that plays HP that never bothered to wear green lenses, the lazy ass, they don’t hurt you know. BUT the downside is that Bella’s eyes look like the eyes of a corpse. It’s like they have just smeared (yuck) her pupil all over her eye. With those eyes she could actually already be a vampire, just without the bright-red or golden vamp-eyes from Stephanie Meyer’s imagination.
Jacob, oh Jacob…
Taylor Lautner is hot and all, but man, that boy can’t act. They poor guy should go back to school and l earn to do another job, because his acting reeks like my brothers sports bag. I feel sorry for him.
Like how Jacob is professing his love for Bella all seriously? Most ridiculous thing I've seen in ages. He just looks like a lost little puppy dog. OK, maybe it wasn't so ridiculous, as this was probably one of the most realistic teen moments of the film, but the delivery is just so overacted that it's hard to take him seriously as a love interest for Bella. And then the dramatic moment when he says that he’d rather have her dead than a vampire. Sigh. Taylor, you should marry me and then you can stay home, work out and look pretty while I’m earning the money. You can have a pet.
As you can see, Eclipse didn’t earn many points in my opinion. Even thinking about it now, only one things comes to mind, something that I hope won’t really come up because I have a long way to the bathroom: BARF.
While at the movie theatre I kept hitting myself in head hoping that the movie would improve. It didn’t. You should see this one (although don’t recommend spending money on it, borrow it or something) because you should have seen it. You should know what they talk about and it’s a great conversation starter at your next dinner party with your boss: ‘’Did you see Eclipse? Wasn’t it HORRIBLE? I KNOW, I wanted to scratch out my eyes at one point…’’
