Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Synopsis

More killings are happening, and more Wolves are transforming. With a threat on the horizon, Jacob and Edward must do everything they can to protect Bella, even if that means being friends.

Review

A "triumphant" return to better story telling. I mean that in straight sarcasm, because I can see what the movie is attempting to do when explaining the powers of Alice and Edward, but it is still wishy-washy. She can watch the future of people she chooses? All of their futures? It doesn't make sense.

With that in mind, they do a decent job of attempting to explain it, and how people can evade it, but I don't understand how everyone knows about it. Especially Victoria. There is no reason for her to know, and we have no idea what her power is. Bryce Dallas Howard replacing the other lady was a smart call though. She has a lot more expression in her voice and face that it feels better.

The acting overall I think is better than in [[The Twilight Saga New Moon]], but there is enough time for them to learn or see how the last movie was done. It just feels better. The story is overtly better too. A direct sequel to [[Twilight]] and the events that happened there. The only scene that really bothers me is the scene in the tent before the big fight. It feels like a forced friendship where even the cast isn't believing what they say.

My Rating

This is an ok movie. Cast does a good job with what they are given. The fight scenes are decent with a bit of CGI that was noticeable, but doesn't detract too much. Overall, I'll give it a 7.

Parental Rating

If you look at the previous two there is nothing in this series that really appeals to my parents, but based on the rules they could or could not watch it. This one is less about family so I am going to say that my mom is out, but my Dad would approve based on the rules.
