The Review

I guess guys like me will never understand the hoo-haas that the Twilight series has been receiving from girls all over the World.

To me, more or less, it’s another vampire movie, and the series in my opinion has hijacked the genre with it’s new-age vampires that sparkles in daylight, rather than following suit of the old-school vampire.

Twilight Eclipse, the third installment of the popular series seems like a spawn of the first two movies, all sappy and no substance.

Yes there’s more action sequences in this one, but overall the pacing of the film was rather slow.

By now the trio stars of Jacob, Edward and Bella is beginning to annoy me with the love triangle. Plus they all look god-damn amazing on-screen, you can’t help but be envious.

It took this long for Bella to finally decide and hook-up with Edward, but it’s well worth the wait. The chemistry between Pattison and Stewart was convincing, but as for Taylor, his acting could be better.

The Good

• The eyecandy cast

The Bad

• Cringy acting
  Endless love triangle
  Too melodramatic for me
