My name's Sean. I've lived in Canada all my life. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 18 and have been living (consciously) with it ever since. I've experienced difficulties living with it for many years from losing friends, to alienating myself. But through it all, I still never give up and keep persevering.

'Eclipse' Fails to Eclipse The Movies

Rate: 1 Flag

Hey Everyone!

So nothing to report in the last week autism wise surprisingly. I feel the running and early nights and everything have really been helping me immensely and I feel my maturity has improved too. I'm finally developing into what I've wanted to be. 

As for the title of my post, it's quite simple, I saw Eclipse, and it was horrid. So here's my review:

Going into 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse', I had high hopes that this film would blow the first two out of the water. The dreary acting, the Jacob-Bella-Edward love triangle, and the fact a rock could act with more emotion than Kristen Stewart, didn't give me much hope and sadly I was not disappointed that once again I was delivered with another sequel that deserved to stay as a book.

I'll accept that Kristen Stewart perhaps was able to get a few acting lessons in as she for once displayed some form of emotion. Unfortunately the back and forth action of Bella choosing Jacob, then Edward, then Jacob, then Edward again did unfortunately consume the majority of the movie, to the point where I saw people falling asleep in the theatre which is quite interesting to point out that this movie was so dull people actually were falling asleep because of it....

The only two good things that came from the film were that of Nikki Reed's scene in which she told the history of her character, Rosalie Hale, and how she was transformed to a vampire. This scene was well acted and Nikki was able to bring the character to life which perhaps partially saved the film. The true savior of the film however was that of the battle between the Cullen Clan and the Werewolves against the Newborn Vampires that Victoria had created. This probably was the best part simply because it was the only action sequence in the whole film and was exciting to look at.

All in all, Eclipse was a relatively dry film that I wish had never crossed my eyes. In the case of the books, they should never have been made into films. You can't make a film that has poor writing, and you definitely can't make a film that is about 95% talking about a vampire-human-werewolf love fest constantly. Sad thing is, it will probably make over a hundred million at the box office.

That's my thought anyways...what's yours?

I didn't like the new Victoria. What did you think of her? She didn't seem as frightening as the original.
Definitely not. Her voice didn't fit the part at all. The original's sounded sultry and seductive, which is how Victoria was written as. The Victoria in Eclipse sounded like a kid. It's thanks to Summit though because they fired the original just because she went to film a short movie out of town without their consent -_-
Well, haven't seen the movie yet. But in the book Victoria is supposed to speak with a babyish voice. So, maybe...
The book is really Bella going back and forth until you feel like smacking her in the head and saying, oh for the love of all that is holy...oh, wait, that's Edward's line.

If it's bad, imagine when they try to film Renesmee's birth. Oh, dear...
I guess I am a true romantic. The Twilight Saga and the HBO series True Blood have a strong theme---personal commitment and in the case of the Cullen clan a strong family bond. It is something in today's real world we could do with a lot more.
