![]() ![]() In this novel, Bella seems even more unsure of herself, and her confidence wavers a lot through the book. With all of this, she also has to deal with Victoria (whom we met in Twilight) still hunting for her flesh. She also finds it difficult to still be friends with Jacob without hurting him more than she has already. She feels too young to get married however, Edward refuses to make love to her whilst she is human before they get married. ![]() Here, Bella is struggling with the concept of perhaps having to marry Edward, and with how to solve the whole Jacob issue. I know that I have been saying that about each instalment, however, each book seems to get worse and worse. Eye candy aside, Eclipse is the best of the Twilight movies yet and should dazzle the millions of devoted fans.Eclipse is the third book in the Twilight Saga and by far the worst. In a key scene, Lautner absolutely kills in delivering a line to Edward: "Let's face it, I am hotter than you." Wink, wink. Jacob, of course, gets plenty of screen time, and Lautner shows more depth as he pines for Bella and declares that he will love her "until her heart stops beating" - and possibly even after (Pattinson and Stewart, meanwhile, manage to look slightly less catatonic throughout the story). The Eclipse soundtrack is another compilation of indie-music darlings like Vampire Weekend and Sia, and it adds just the right note of angst and longing to accompany the high-stakes, high-drama proceedings (let's not pretend anyone actually thought any of these main characters would actually die - that's just not Meyer's style).Īs with any adaptation, not everything from the book makes the transition to the screen - here, that means far less of the wolf pack, which is a shame, since their thought-sharing abilities and the inclusion of a female wolf, Leah (Julia Jones), are some of best parts of the Eclipse book. With the franchise's ever-growing budget, it's no surprise the action scenes are also much better this time around, with the vampire-and-wolf battle looking far sharper and intense than anything in Catherine Hardwicke's original Twilight movie. In particular, Rosalie ( Nikki Reed) and Jasper ( Jackson Rathbone), both of whom were grating in the first two films, are tolerable and even sympathetic now that their histories are being explained. What's a clumsy girl to do? (You probably already know.)ĭirector David Slade and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg do a nice job of rounding out some characters who felt flat in Twilight and New Moon. ice love triangle but also a tenuous alliance between natural enemies. Bella finds her self not only at the root of a complicated fire vs. Eager to defend Bella, Jacob pledges his wolf pack's help to defeat the newborn army. As Bella is set to graduate from high school, prescient vampire Alice (Ashley Greene) sees an army of newborn vampires led by vengeful Victoria ( Bryce Dallas Howard) and enigmatic Riley (Xavier Samuel) wreaking havoc by feeding on humans and heading toward Forks to destroy Bella and the Cullens. At the beginning of Eclipse, Edward tries to keep Bella from seeing Jacob "for her own safety," but she "defies" his wishes and hangs out with Jacob (who's obviously in love with her) anyhow. The third adaptation based on Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally popular Twilight book series, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE settles once and for all whether Bella Swan ( Kristen Stewart) prefers her men primal and hot ( Taylor Lautner's werewolf Jacob Black) or perfect and cool ( Robert Pattinson's vampire Edward Cullen).
