Call me old fashioned but a great love story has a song. It gives emotional recognition and bonding everytime it's heard. It's one of the few things that New Moon and now Eclipse does not follow Stephenie Meyer's writing. They had a bella's lullaby in Twilight done by Carter Birdwell?? but in New Moon had another composer and now for Eclipse still another and Bella's Lullaby is not heard at all. I think in having many different theme's you weaken the emotional ties the audience has to the characters. Well, maybe not to the die hard twilighter but to the first time viewers. Anyway, although it seems like i don't like the movie that's not the case at all. I very much enjoyed it. I just want to make it better! W ouldn't you liked to have seen and heard Edward hum Bella's Lullaby to Bella in the tent scene? Thanks for listening.
I think it is a better movie than Twilight. It shows when there is better conditions, better funded, better directed, therefore, a better movie is made. This is a funnier movie and there are some surprising little gems in it. Romeo's speech (as done by Edward) is one of them. Not in the book but an excellent addition. PS. I am not putting Catherine Hartwick down, as she was responsible for casting Bella and Edward. Thanks for hearing me.
