Movie Review : "Twilight Saga: Eclipse"

Danger stalks Seattle with a rash of mysterious killings that have Bella (Kristen Stewart) feeling less secure than ever in the third installment of this teen fantasy series based on the best-selling books by Stephenie Meyer. With a malevolent vampire continuing her quest for revenge from the sidelines, the human Bella must reconcile her love for Edward (Robert Pattinson), a vampire, and her growing feelings for Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a werewolf. - taken from Netflix.com


This is the third installment of the 4 book series written by Stephanie Meyers. As many readers would say, usually the middle portion of any series of books, tends to be a bit boring, and drags along. This movie was no exception. Though I had read the complete series long before any movie was going to be made, and evidently, those year made a difference, as I could not really place what seemed to happen in this one as being part of the story, except a few bits of the whole plot. Honestly, the teenage clamor surrounding this whole series has probably jaded me for the movie experience. I do give some credit though tot he author, because at the time, it is getting younger readers to pick a book up, if only to find out how it all ends, prior to the release of the final book-to-movie. All in all, I give it 3 stars.
