Twilight: Eclipse

her view:

Honestly, I wasn't excited to see this movie. There were some, I'll be kind, flaws in the first two movies that made it hard for me to work up any much enthusiasm to see this movie. Nonetheless, Friday night saw me taking in a late show with a girlfriend. Surprisingly the late show was busy-it's been a few weeks since it opened so we weren't expecting much of a crowd. At least it wasn't a theatre full of screaming teenage girls-there were some couples in the crowd, and I felt bad for the men.
***Note: guys, go see Predators, I promise you'll like it better!***

I was pleasantly surprised: they fixed most of the flaws from the other films, and injected some humour. Well done! I am now convinced that Edward may be the appropriate choice-I've always been pro-Jacob for the movies and pro-Edward for the books-and I am conflicted in the choices now. Good job guys!

There was enough eye candy for me to stay interested, and Kristen Stewart didn't annoy me nearly as much as she did in the previous films; although I was distracted by her fake eyelashes, and I hate that Rachelle Lefevre was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard. They should have made the "scheduling conflicts" work-Bryce's hair looked like a wig, and the role was quite a bit smaller than it could have been if Rachelle had remained in the role. Those were the only big things that bugged me about this movie, so that's not too bad!

I enjoyed Twilight: Eclipse enough to want to re-read the books to refresh my memory on the way the series ends. Breaking Dawn part one apparently comes out in November 2011, so I'll have some time to get worked up about it again. Maybe next year, if they have a marathon showing of the movies before they play the newest release I'll find a way to get there with a group of friends. Maybe.

His View

I decided to watch the first 2 Twilight movies on DVD and I'm happy I did. As a guy I would not spend money to see them in the theater...UNLESS...I wanted to make my wife or girlfriend happy! Sorry guys I think some of you will have to see this movie...UNLESS...you can help/encourage a Girls Night Out! Then plan a Guys Night Out and go see Predators!

The one thing I like about the Twilight movies is the whole Native people can shape-shift thing!

But the acting in the first 2 movies was VERY bad and I'm getting tired of teenage coming of age movies now that I'm getting older.

So you guessed it I didn't see the pile of crap movie and I hope I don't have to see it on DVD. I'm rating this movie on the first 2 so...

0 out of 5!
