I've already provided a movie review from the two previous films, Twilight and New Moon, but I only did it after I watched the DVDs at home.

Believe it or not, I went to watch Eclipse last night. I never thought I'd go to the theater to watch one of these Twilight Saga movies, but hey... I finally did it.

I must start saying that I totally enjoyed the film! It was so cheesy for my taste, but it was really entertaining though. I didn't get some "important" details related with the books and story, but I had the best help to be updated about these details, my wifie... one of the biggest Twilight fan I've known so far.

If I had to compare the two previous films against Eclipse, I would say that the most important improvement noticed was the acting performance. One of the worst thing I found on the two previous films was the lack of acting performance offered by the cast, especially, the main characters. I personally believe that Kristen Stewart is one of the worst Hollywood actresses. Her acting in New Moon was one of the worst performances I've seen in a long time. I would also include Robert Pattinson's and Jackson Rathbone roles. Their performance was so poor that I actually laughed on every single of their scenes. Taylor Lautner was one of the decent performances on the previous films.

Well, Eclipse showed a big improvement on this matter. The film offered a better acting performance (except Jackson Rathbone's performance... he still sucks big time!). Another improvement was the CGI effects work shown on this film. I could say that it was spotless. I was glad that I could follow the story, even though, as my wifie said, there was so many details missing from the book that would help to understand more from all the situation and events shown on this film.

There were a few moments where I couldn't stop laughing. The first one, watching Taylor Lautner running and holding Kristen Stewart. It was cheesy and looked so dumb that I couldn't hold my laughs. Second one, the scene when Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are alone at his house laying in bed. My wifie was trying to explain me why they couldn't have sex, since he'd break her, due to his powerful condition for being a vampire. You can imagine all crazy funny and bizarre things that crossed my mind while she was explaining me these details.

One last interesting detail about this film is that it didn't have the same luck as its predecessors. It was interesting to see that Eclipse couldn't hold the first position for more than a week! Twilight and New Moon were the most watched films. They kept this position for weeks and weeks. This time, Despicable Me made Eclipse eat the dust and finish second on its second week in theaters.

If you are a Twilight Saga fan and haven't watched Eclipse yet, I would recommend you to go and watch it.

After watching this one, I would consider to go and watch the two final films for the last book, Breaking Down. I think it would make happy the wifie, since she didn't expect me to go with her to watch the movie last night and actually enjoy it :)
