So I went to go watch the Twilight saga Eclipse on the. Of course I went on the premier night 29 June 2010 at midnight which kinda makes it early 30th of June I guess. So before I even get to talking about the movie let me just tear Numetro to shreds for a second….Ok now if anyone went to the waterfront premier ion Cape Town you would have noticed that whoever is in charge of ‘Premier’ nights, did not do their homework at all , because the Numetro didn’t look like it was having this premier night except for a square cut oout of the main cast and a couple of posters that look like hand me downs from Sterkinekor, the place was visually naked and lacked the Energy and excitement that twihard fans would expect, and another fail was the fact that Numetro didn’t even counter in the fact that we so happen to have a lot of tourists in the country because of the Soccer World Cup and a decent amount of them were concentrated in Cape Town because of the Spain vs Portugal match. I was so embarrassed when i saw that there were some foreigners who were at he premier to watch the movie because I’m sure their used to Premier nights especially with a movie that has such keen a following looking like some effort was put in, and NO!! Numetro the keyrings did not cut it at all!!!.
THE MOVIE:
I can’t comment much on the first 25/30mins of the movie because I arrived there late ( I’m still traumatised) so I missed Bella’s’ visit to her mom, which sucked because that was another scene I was curious to see would be played out onscreen , but anyway moving along. In all although I enjoyed the movie I felt like the vampires looked a bit to ‘vampirey’ if I may call it that , because in Twilight they weren’t as pale and they’re eyes when have fed weren’t so light amber , in Twilight they looked perfect because they almost could pass as humans but in Eclipse and New Moon actually they stood out as ‘odd different’ rather than their beauty standing out. I also wish that they’d shaved Edward’s chest hair , I didn’t like them peeping over each neckline- come on no one likes a hairy vampire you want to keep that ‘marble skin look’ they mention in the book as per Bellas’ description well ploughed not seen as a wild forest ( and Bella never mentioned hairy chest SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ) and Edward was more well dressed in Twilight than in Eclipse – what did he loose his fashion sense in a year?. Now people don’t get me wrong I am a Team Edward but a true fan never lies , and I have to say they made Edward a bit too insecure in this one , but angry Edward looked hottt, and please they need to make Robert Pattinson hit the gym, because at some point he’s going to be topless as in Breaking Dawn!, Of course I’m not saying he must be supper buff like Jacob but maybe just a swimmers body then pleaseee. I don’t want to be cringing in Breaking Dawn. Other than my feedback on RPatz character Edward , I think RPatz played it well and I think he had more humorous lines in the installment like when he’s talking to Jacob while they’re in the tent on top of the mountain and Jacob is keeping Bella warm, and in the Bella & Edward home alone scene I loved the way Edward says “ Can you stop trying to take your clothes off”..lol. Kristen Stewart’s character Bella was more feisty in this one which I like, although I must say they needed to get Kristen Stewart an African Americans her hairstylist for the Bella character because then she would have been hooked up with a hot ass lace wig not the crap that was placed on her head and was hardly even brushed properly and lacked a lot of volume – just because it’[s fake hair don’t mean it has to be obvious like that , ask the black folks…lol………and two more things, one being that Bella’s dress sense was just overly bad this time around and wasn’t she wearing a dress or something nicer in the book for the graduation party???, and lastly I hate how they airbrush around Bella’s eye’s this is very evident in the mountain scene ( we wont even discuss the post work for that snowy background – so much for having a bigger budget than twilight ), It’s not like Kristen Stewart has wrinkles already around her eyes that they had to airbrush her so much . Jacob black was awesome he looked good and I must say as a Team Edward fan it hurts me to say that Taylor Lautner’s character Jacob Black was spot on and looked hotter than ever and even he’s smartass comments made him look even more hot and a bit badboyish..hehehe ( I shall not fall into temptation). Jackson Rathbone’s character Jasper was getting more spotlight which was cool, I do prefer he’s hair more curlier like in Twilight than in Eclipse but he was still cool . Ashley Greene’s character Alice was also good and thank G*D her dress sense was better than in New Moon ( what was up with that outfit she wore in Italy – when going to save Edward). Peter Facinelli character was also cool it was nice to See Dr Cullen’s other fighting side ,and he still looks hot for a Doc but I like he’s hair shorter like in Twilight, and one the contrary I loved Elizabeth Reaser’s character Esme Cullen she really plays her character well and has maintained that through out twilight , New Moon & Eclipse jus with better hair sense. Kellan Lutz Character Emmett was hotter this time around ( yes I knw he’s always hot ) but the dark hair makes him look more like the vampire who hunts Grizzly bears for a snack, he’s more action packed and of course the way he teases Bella is always sweet and funny kinda like siblings already. I cant Comment on all the other characters as of yet , because I still need to watch the movie again for like maybe 10 times or soo lol…but lets agree people that the new Victoria Bryce Dallas Howard did not cut it at all , she did not even come across as the Victoria described in the book she looked fragile and so Tinkerbell , the only thing dangerous looking about her was that wig that was too big for her face...Oo well she’s dead now, at least we wont see her again.
Ok So David Slater did an Ok job because I loved the wolves in this one even more and the fight scene was good but not mind blowing, the fights were too clean and almost prim and proper for the’ 30 Days of Night’ Director , and what’s up with the way the vampires crack and break and each time one is killed there’s this annoying sound that reminds me of theMario land video game…..Come on !!....Personally I think Summit Entertainment needs to maybe get a James Cameron & the Wachowski brothers collaboration for the two parts of Breaking Dawn…..now that would be amazing, Cameron will specialise on the love front coz he can bring out the fragileness of love and lust from the craziness and the Wachowski brothers can specialise in the action scenes ( come on you’ve all seen The Matrix)and they can all pick each others brains on the others scenes….woow just imagine ;D
With All Said I did Enjoy The Movie Thou coz I’m a ‘Twi-Hard’ For life ;D ;D

Shoo, what a mouthful girl, but then again if it wasn't a mouthful then I'd be worried. I agree with you on most points, sorry about the lateness and yes get your butt over to the vampire side (sparkle), I must say there was a stage that I was edging closer to the wolf pack.
ReplyDeleteI have a few comments as well, I thought all the characters had way too much make-up on and they didn't fit into forks society, edward was def too insecure but then again I would be as well, I mean did you see Jacob's abs????
Jacob and Bella def has something together, they look less awkward, but being a very big Edward fan (bigger than my girl monchinchi), if I were Bella it would be Edward all the way, he is just beautiful.
So now I am waiting for the much anticipated Breaking Dawn movies, it's going to be legendary thats if Nu-Metro can pull a better premiere together.
