Twi-fans won't be dissappointed!

If the corn of the first 2 didn't keep you from waiting in line till midnite, you'll adore Eclipse! Best of 3....and not because it's the best loved book...it's the best made film. Slade finally aces it. Visually phenomenal! Softer focus on close-ups made the boys look more beautiful. Edward is more endearing than ever. Slade got Rpattz & Lautner to stretch their acting muscles (no pun, Jacob fans) and it payed off. The tent & bed scenes were spot on! I don't know how Pattinson struck such emotion w/o shedding tears (vamps can't). Plenty of spit swapping for hormonal fans. You can't help loving the wolves, especially the skinny, skittish Seth. What I hated: 1. THE WIGS: Thankfully, Ed, Jake, Charlie, Em, the Pack and Forks kids had their own locks....everyone else sported distracting hair hats. 2. THE EYES: With day-glow yellow irises, how in hell could the Cullens ever pass as anything other than space aliens, toxic waste exposure victims or monsters? Twilight, though cringeworthy in so many ways, had understated cotacts that still worked. I hope they pull those out of storage for BD! 3. THE SCORE: Uninspired. Made-for-tv. Jacob's theme is like listening to a 5yr. old playing scales on the piano. Where Desplat (New Moon) did well playing up the romance, Burwell (Twilight) nailed the edgy intensity. Please God, let the next director pick James Horner (Titanic, Braveheart, etc.) or someone like him. 4. VICTORIA: Bryce was pathetically non-mencing. Snow White meets Medusa. Her only semi-scary moment was her teeth-baring snarl prior to her demise. 5. SONG PLACEMENT: Awkward. The soundtrack is great, but only 2 songs (fight training and bed scene) were placed appropriately. I did love that they snuck in Claire De Lune. Sweet & nostaligic. Oh, Edward! All said, Eclipse was a satisfying, thrilling expeience and I'm planning to see it again soon. Thanx, Mr. Slade!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
