Finally. After days of being busy with work, I finally got the chance to see The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. I had been wanting to see this particular part of the Saga, since, well, this is probably the most action-packed Twilight Saga chapter ever. EVER. Who can't refuse to see vampires and wolves banding to together to fight even badder vampires -- just for the sake of ONE human girl? I mean, come on.
Anyhoo. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse splits into two side stories that ultimately merges into one. The film opens with the creation of a newborn vampire by Victoria in order to help her to bring down the Cullens and ultimately kill Bella. They go on and create an army of newborns, thinking that their numbers can bring down the Cullen Coven.
On the other side, Jacob still pines for Bella, flat out telling her that he knows that Bella feels something for him, she just wouldn't admit it.
But, Bella being the common ground here, when the newborns decide to come to Forks to confront the Cullen coven, the Quilete wolves and the Cullen vampires decide to band together to defend their town, catching the newborns by surprise.
Oh yeah, and Edwards formally proposes to Bella (she accepts, duh).
It is in this chapter that we find out the stories of Rosalie and Jasper -- how they got transformed into vampires, and the root cause of Rosalie's dislike of Bella's choice to become an immortal.
My favorite scene: The battle scene. That's all I watched Eclipse for, anyway.
Cinematography wise, it's very "Twilight". Granted, there were still a few deviations from the book itself, but let's suspend judgement until Breaking Dawn (which I read somewhere that it's going to be made into two movies).
The verdict: Three and a half stars
