Director: David Slade
Writers: Melissa Rosenberg (screenplay), Stephenie Meyer (novel)
Stars: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner
What is the weight of a cloud? What is that smell? If I got up and screamed right now would anyone notice? How much did I just spend on this ticket? These are some of the things that ran through my mind as I sat down to watch the new addition to the “long” running teenage soap opera that is the Twilight series.
For all of you that do not know, the Twilight movies revolve around a girl named Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who is caught in a love triangle between a vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and a werewolf, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). In Eclipse, a bunch of unsolved killings have popped up in Forks,Seattle
The main problem with this movie is not the way the vampires are portray as if they are made out of diamonds, looking as if they rub their faces in rhinestones before each outing. Or that the when people transform into werewolves there clothing doesn’t rip of, it instead evaporates and then is back on when they transform back, except for their shirts. No the main problem with the film is plain old bad acting.
Robert Pattinson portrayal of Edward Cullen is simply boring. Too many deep longing looks, drawn out pauses and dramatic stances make this film less like a worldwide release and more like something you would watch on the WB. When you are getting 12.5 million dollars to perform, you expect better than a high school student performance, and that is all we get from Pattinson. I know that Robert Pattinson can act. I loved him in Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire. Wait, he did play a corpse in the film. Now it is all starting to make sense how he got this role.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have zero chemistry together. Bella and Edward are supposed have intense burning love for one another. Where he is willing to go through pain and suffering. Willing to give up his life and her, if it means her safety. Then why is it that every time Edward looks at Bella it as if he is staring at a pine cone? Maybe he got distracted by Taylor Lautner’s rippling abs? Did I mention he has his shirt off in the movie? Or maybe it is not his fault. Maybe it is because Kristen Stewart’s performance is an abomination and he can not bring himself to make eye contact.
To say her performance is flat would be a compliment. It is non existent! She is just saying the lines, oh and she shivers at one point in a tent because she is cold. It is ok though, Jacob comes over with his glisten abs and strong arms to keep her warm throughout the night. Did I mention that he has his shirt off in the movie?
People have been saying that this is the best in the series so far. Thats like saying Gonorrhea is better Syphilis. It is not as severe, but it still burns when you pee. This is not a good film, not by a long shot. Is it worth seeing? No. It has no redeeming qualities unless you like pining over 16 year old boys. In this battle between vampires and werewolves, all I felt like was brain dead zombie watching this film.
