Oh my goodness, Internet. The third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, was by far my favorite, in the series of books, vamped into a movie, so far.
I love seeing a visual interpretation of a book, and I'm happy to say they they got it right.
I thought Eclipse the movie, captured the deep emotions portrayed in the third book, more intensely and accurately than the previous two movies. Bella (human, so far), is exceptionally broody over being pulled in separate directions by her two loves.
Jacob (werewolf) is more determined than ever to win Bella over. Edward (vampire) is so passionately devoted to Bella, he willingly hands her over to Jacob several times.
Their love triangle is perfectly torturous. Although Bella is a fragile human, she's no wimp, and she always has the final say, on who carries her into the forest. Team Jacob vs Team Edward is a moot point, considering she has those little monsters wrapped around her finger.
I don't want to spoil the plot line, in case you haven't read the book or watched the movie, but I will say there are plenty of tense moments and volatile scenes within the dynamic threesome, Bella, Edward and Jacob.
Ménage à trois?
It's probably not going to happen considering the author of the Twilight Saga is a Mormon. Though perhaps there is a chance for a bit of reverse polygamy? One can only hope for more cramped 2-person tent scenes, with the trio.
Thankfully, "Eclipse," doesn't take itself too seriously, and frequently makes fun of itself, in spite of Jacob's high body temperature. In fact, he is so hot, he can barely manage wearing any clothes at all, save for a pair of cut-off jeans, throughout most of the movie.
Sizzzzzzzle.
"Doesn't he own a shirt?" Edward asks Bella of Jacob.
Edward, for the sake of female audiences everywhere, I hope Jake doesn't own a shirt. Guys have been soaking up blatant eye candy in the media for years. Women have a lot of catching up to do. We are making up for lost time with Jacob, and online pR0n, apparently.
Then there's our heroine, Bella. At times she is more of a man than the noble Edward and haute Jacob combined, clad in her Kurt Cobain flannel and plaid attire. Who else could get away with yelling at a vampire, and slapping a werewolf, but bad-arse Bella?
Besides, I'm sure all three actors have violet auras, most famous people do. Violet women appear more masculine than violet guys. But don't worry guys, she's all woman, underneath her grunge wear. Though you won't see much skin, so bring your visualization skills.
I can't wait until the fourth book, "Breaking Dawn," is brought to the big screen. "Breaking Dawn," has my favorite twist in the entire series. Correction: Films, the fourth book is actually going to be broken up into two movies, just like the seventh Harry Potter Book.
Here's a trailer from Eclipse. Enjoy. :)
