Defined As When the Moon Passes Over the Sun

Ok, let me confess something! I have no idea how to write this review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Everything I say will have zero effect on formulating your opinion of this franchise. But, you have to start somewhere, right? Let me say this. I walked out of Eclipse with a slightly more enthusiastic pop in my step then there had been with the other Twilight movies. That is to say, there was a pop in my step. Don't get me wrong, Eclipse is still a pretty painful, at times excruciating, film to sit through. But, the improvements here are noticeable enough that the anguish is lessened significantly!

World's Most Unconvincing Love Triangle

Ramp It Up!

Is there such a thing as hope? Maybe. I think with a director who actually gets the whole vampire genre, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse might be able to offer enough for people like me as well as appealing to all those fangirls out there. It appears that David Slade is bringing some of his 30 Days of Night experience to the project, and all I can say is, THANK GOD!! Yes, Twilight is romantic, emo bullshit, but that doesn't mean it can't be mature, romantic, emo bullshit. Just because it's aimed at teenage girls doesn't mean elements that us other, sane people enjoy can't be included. Watch the trailer down at the bottom, then compare the footage there to this scene for 30 Days of Night. There are some similarities, to be sure. I know it's pointless to hope that Eclipse will actually be good, but maybe it will be adequate enough to get a grade higher then a D from me. We'll see in June.
