“Eclipse,” the latest installment of the Twilight Saga, is two hours of soap opera bloat. And one of the things that bothers me so much about these movies is Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella. She’s way too passive and indecisive, waiting around for one of her two boyfriends to protect or rescue her. And by the time you’re half way through this movie, you want to shout, ‘Choose already.’ But nooooo. Although she tells Jacob (Taylor Lautner) that she loves Edward (Robert Pattinson), she refuses to tell Jacob to take a hike. This love triangle is an adolescent girl’s fantasy. And I guess Pattinson can act; however, all he does is look like he’s got a severe case of gas. As for Lautner, who goes shirtless much of the time, he’s certainly ‘abs’solutely hunky. “Eclipse” is the movie its fans expect if the sighs in the audience and its huge box office receipts are any indication. For the non-Stephanie Meyer fans? Skip it. 7/4/10
We read a good write up on Eclipse in Entertsinment magazine and decided to give this a try. This one was just as bad as the first two. I say again, If you are a 16 year old airhead go see this, if not, SKIP IT
