Films are mirrors of ordinary lives done by ordinary human beings with ordinary vision...Evaluating films in an extraordinary way is an endeavor worth pursuing..

Eclipse (3rd of the Twilight Saga) by kriztine rosales-viray

July 16, 2010

 

Watching the twilight saga has been a scheduled date for me and my high school girlfriends.  It is the only time we get to be together and still share the kilig moments we have for edward and jacob, as if we are 15years or 16year-old teenyboppers on the loose. Last july 3, i watched eclipse with my husband and of course my girl pals at Sm North.  I was excited since it is the first movie from the twilight saga that my husband will see in the big screen.  My hubby was never a fan of such kind of movies.  He likes better political or philosophical films.  So it was really an effort for him to tag along with us. I promised him that he will like the movie.  But to my dismay, he slept on it.

I must say that among the 3 movies already shown of the saga, eclipse has the most talkies.  There were more parts that you will get bored and ask yourself if you can forward the scenes to the fast phased sequences so you save yourself from turning asleep.  The only scene i guess my husband loved was the fight scene of the wolves and the vampires (the bad ones). Maybe because he literally felt the trembling of the characters fighting since we watched it in dolby surround system.  Other than that, you will forget the other scenes of the movie. It focused on too many stories of the characters in the film that it failed to really emphasize on the importance of the forbidden but undying love of the major characters. I love edward and bella’s characters.  However, i think since the movie was actually derived from a book, the director and the screenwritier weren’t able to get out of the talkies sense of the film.  It became so bookish that those who have seen it and read the book at the same time felt that , “am i reading the book or am i watching the movie?”

Nevertheless, if you are a fan, you might just ignore it and get out of the cinema smiling, or grinning for at least, before the movie ended, edward was able to proposed to bella.  Plus the fact that for jacob-bella fanatics, bella and jacob kissed torridly for the first time!

I still have plans of watching breaking dawn with my girlfriends, for i would like to see in the big screen how bella will transform into a vampire. I just hope that the last of the saga would be the most memorable one…
