Hey ladies...
count me in where ever Eclipse is discussed.... I loved it...
I have seen it 4 times already...(yeah I know I'm crazy)....
Like you said
Openhome, there were scenes I missed..
- like the sleepover kidnap...
- mostly Alice's funny stuff in the books is left out and that I missed a lot...
But I can really complaint because the Charlie scenes were so funny and great that you really didn't miss the fun in the movie...
Ok, as most of you probably know I'm totally and completely team Robward... but there are some thing I have to point out
- Jackson as Jasper stole my heart...I loved his accent, and his half smile...he really did a great job..
- Taylor as Jacob.. I thought he was better than in New Moon...my "problems" with him are mostly due to the annoying behavior in the book... but there were strong parts in this movie (although the last Jacob scene looked like it was shot for MASH)
- the script... it was much better this time...
- and the make-up department, for finally getting the Cullens right... I wasn't a big fan of Esme's looks this time around but on the other hand they finally got Rosalie right....
- and the CGI department for getting the sparkling right... I loved it how it FINALLY reflected rainbows on Bella...
Openhome wrote:First, Did the message of the movie match the book for you?
Yes and No...
yes for that it was clearly shown what the story was about... a love story between a vampire and a human girl and all it's complications of this difficult love...
no, because there were important parts missing...like Edwards insecurities about Bella's commitment to him, and Bella's fear of someone getting hurt because of her and her willingness to give up her life of her friends (wolves and vampires)
Openhome wrote:Do you think the differences between the movies are because of better directors, better writing, or the intervention of Srephenie Meyer?
I think Rob, Taylor and Kristen have grown so much over these three movies and it shows... I believe they are telling the scriptwriters what would work and what would not... they are taking control of the character and I think that's a big difference...
also the new directors (CW for NM and DS fpr Eclipse) got the coloring better... the bleu from twilight just didn't work...the gold/yellow in New Moon was an improvement and I think Slade nailed it...
Hey, who has read and critics reports? I just read one in the local news paper... I immediatly cancelled my subscription..what a A**H*L*S ... they just wrote something...never bothered to watch any of the movies...
