The Twilight franchise entirely comprises of a list of such mundane movies that don’t have any credible cinematic achievement to their name, even for any one of them. Buoyed solely on the adoration of its stricken female fans, it’s just another fad of the moment. You will never find any fan discussing about the beauty of the scene or twists of screen plot, you will only find them gushing about the hunk quotient of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Poor performances, uninspired set pieces, inane dialogues and zero chemistry comprise the main bulk of this series. Eclipse is only a slight better addition to it, keeping in mind that we are strictly comparing it only to its predecessors.
This time it’s a group of newborn vampires who are threatening the sad faced people and supernatural beings of the town of Forks. As usual the moping Bella has to be the target of their attention. But fear not for she has an army of vampires and werewolves of her own to protect her, led by Mr. Glitter Edward Cullen and Mr. I-don’t-own-a-shirt Jacob black. Both of them are still jousting for the heart of the dim witted Bella, though the vampire holds an edge over the werewolf just because he is really good looking and handsome. Sigh, doesn’t it sound like true love? The only good parts of the movie are the funny banter between Edward and Jacob, rest of the dialogues are better off being meaningless white noise in the background. The action sequences have vastly improved over the last two movies, with the addition of Bryce Dallas Howard as the villain vampire “Victoria” being a welcoming change. As the Twihards will eventually end up watching this movie no matter how much I berate it, for all other people who if even have a tendril of common sense, go and find something meaningful to do than watching this worthless venture.
