Eclipse Movie Review

Eclipse came out a couple of months ago and I have seen it a few times and I think that it was worth it.
The movie begins with a young man in Seattle, being attacked by a strange creature. And then once again with a preface recital with Bella talking about fire and ice.
Bella’s decision to become a vampire has been scheduled for graduation, which comes up fast. But in her contract for Edward to be the one to make her a vampire, he has asked her to marry him. Even though she loves Edward, she thinks she is too young, and that other people would see it as if she was rushing into it and as if she’d just been “knocked up”.
Bella is also nervous about never seeing her family again after becoming a vampire, and a visit to her mother strengthens these feelings. Even so, the only thing she ever wants is Edward.
Jacob isn’t talking to her because of the decision she has made. Though they get talking again, and Bella discovers the Quileute Tribe’s stories- some good action and cinematography there.
The infamous Victoria is on the run- there are some good chase scenes involved there.
Newborn vampires are happening in Seattle, and the Cullens plan to stop it.
The movie lacks once again in the middle with a lot of conversational talking and less action. This is because in Eclipse many stories are explained, such as Rosalie’s and Jasper’s.
Training takes place for the battle- good cinematography and action there.
The climax is at the end, where the newborn vampires travel to Forks. The vampires and werewolves team up and a large battle takes place.
One main character dies- I will not reveal the name.
The storyline is good.
An improvement with the music- still slightly original though.
Acting is almost excellent now, an 8.5 is quite well suited.
Cinematography is still at a high level, but lacks a bit, with a bit less effects.
Action is improving.
Overall, a slight improvement to New Moon and the best of the Twilight Saga so far. (Do remember these are my thoughts on the movie)
Storyline: 7
Acting: 8.5
Cinematography: 8
Action: 7
Music: 7
Overall Rating: 8
