Eclipse: Imax : See it again and again!
PostedJuly 4, 2010

I saw Eclipse WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, and again SATURDAY, July 3 in IMAX!! IMAX was great! The screen was not as large as I thought it might be, but the picture was so clear, and the sound system was awesome! It blew me away!
ECLIPSE WAS SO AWESOME! I want to see it like 10 more times! Maybe I can settle for 2. I didn't know that it would be so intense and tense! They really conveyed that well! The fight scenes were great! I was gripping my chair arms hard for a while!!! It was also so romantic!! If you like to see Bella and Edward kissing, then you will be very happy! The movement between scenes was good, too.
BUT I WANT THE DVD NOW!!!!!! I want to see behind the scenes and stuff! And I want to be able to watch it anytime I want to!
The beginning caught me off guard the first time. You know how much they show before the movies now; a LOT more than previews! By the time the film started subtly with Riley, I didn't realize at first it was the movie! But I liked that beginning. It was a good intro to the newborns. It was cool for Riley to have been from Forks. I was wondering at first why the parents were talking to Charlie about Riley's disappearance, but the Forks story was perfect as explained by Edward at the end!
I had looked back at my book and realized that Jake's note about not seeing Bella anymore was at the beginning. I liked that the letter was in the movie! I was really kind of SHOCKED by how many lines seemed to come straight out of the book! And I should know! I read it again in June to be ready!!!!
I liked Edward & Bella in the meadow of course, but that meadow had almost too many flowers! But whatever they want! There were some important moments there. It is such a special place for them! Many, many FanFiction stories that I read have the meadow included!
I liked Bella!! I loved it when she started hollering after punching Jake in the face! Go Bella! Nobody could mess around with her! Kisses with Jake were OK, but I LOVED all the Edward and Bella kissing! I liked her with Charlie, too!
Edward was Fabulous as Always! I think Rob showed his emotions really well! During the tent scene and fight with Riley/Victoria, I was about to lose it! It
was so dramatic and gripping! Jacob and Edward's tent talk could not have been better. The confrontation with Jake at Bella's house when Charlie had to separate them up was great! I love Charlie!

I couldn't believe that Jessica was Valedictorian. If it weren't going to be Eric like in book, why not Angela? Jess was not canon, but I guess it didn't really bother me. I did like the fact that they stuck to the book and made the robes a bright yellow!
I loved how much time and attention Jasper received! He really helped hold things together. And his voice? I LOVED it! His back story was done great. He was important in trying to track Riley, interacting with the wolves, teaching about newborns & FIGHTING, and in bringing the reality of vampire violence to light. AND he got 2 kisses with Alice! We have not seen that before! Now, Breaking Dawn, I will be looking for some Emmett and Rosalie kissing!!!
I liked Rose's backstory too. I am glad it was before Jasper's, though, because it would have been anticlimactic after Jazz's!
I liked the graduation party! Somehow I was afraid (before seeing on-line picture) that they might skip that. One never knows with these films!
I had wondered about clip I saw where Jake agreed that the wolves would help the Cullens. How could he do that without consulting Sam? But then I realized, and I think the movie confirmed it, that Vamp Killing is what the wolves are for, so probably any one of them could have agreed to the fight!
I was surprised by how much Jake said about imprinting and about his telling Bella about the Alpha male thing. And Bella called him Chief Jacob! But I really liked it!
I thought Jake's injury was done well. I liked that his injury caused him to phase back and that the pack phased right away, too. I am glad they made it obvious that he was helping Leah. That was another detail I thought they might skim over. Taylor was awesome in the final scene as Jake in bed. You could see his pain.
The final fight was good. The review in the paper said it was anticlimactic, but I did not think so! They didn't make the film just to satisfy that reviewer, for Pete's sake!
I liked the early Victoria chase and the practice fighting. Emmett was great in both of those scenes! I wish he had more lines, but they have a lot of folks to deal with now!
I liked Bryce as Victoria. Her voice was good and I thought she was prettier than Rachelle. She was the only actor that they had to change, which I think is impressive, considering how many actors there are now!
I did not think that Bree was pretty enough. But she did a good job. I could see how the Bree Tanner book influenced the movie.
Seth was cute. I didn't know anything about BooBoo, but he is in the teen magazines.
The bed in Edward's room: TOO GOOD! I was afraid they might do that wrong, but it seemed canon to me! There were pieces of paper taped on Edward's window in that scene; I had seen them previously in a picture on-line. I don't know what those things were. Maybe articles about the killings in Seattle? I absolutely LOVED Edward's proposal in his bedroom. I liked how Edward talked about how courting Bella would have been in his past, even asking her father! I was hoping maybe there would be a flashback there. Bella was so happy! YAY!!! (HOW did she manage to turn him down all those times???? NO ONE else can resist Edward!!)
I liked the Bonfire legends and the way Bella did cut herself during the Edward/Victoria fight. In the book, I think she only threatened to cut herself. The blood made more sense.
I also liked Bella's explanation at the end about why being a vamp was important to her. It made so much sense! I think that was implied in the books but not spelled out as clearly in them.
I was hoping that they would go ahead and tell Charlie about the wedding, but they kept to the book for that! It was like a flashback in Breaking Dawn.
This was by far the best of the movies to me!! Now the LONG wait for BD!!
The review in the paper ended by saying that the writer was looking forward to seeing what happens next! You and me both, Sister!!
OK, so on the news Wednesday, June 30, they said that in Kagan's hearing for Supreme Court judge, one of the congress members brought up the midnight Eclipse showing!! TOO WEIRD!! But just proves how ingrained it is in our culture!!!
Well, I guess that is enough for now! I can't wait to see it again! Laters.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Eclipse was FANTASTIC!! I wish I could see it 10 times in a row! The action was great, the romance was superb, and the Cullens got the face time they deserved! I lost count of how many times Edward and Bella kissed, and the kisses were fabulous! DON'T MISS IT!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
