Eclipse Movie Review

 

The Twilight Saga has finally found its footing with Eclipse, the third film of the blockbuster series. Selecting David Slade (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy) to direct was absolutely the right choice, and in Slade’s capable hands the series takes a darker turn in keeping with Stephenie Meyer’s book.

Slade, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg (Twilight, New Moon, and Dexter seasons 1 thru 4), and the returning cast of Twilight players really jell this time around. The actors are obviously comfortable and know their characters well, but with Eclipse a few of the minor characters from Twilight and New Moon are given their chance to spend a few minutes in the spotlight. And with the third film, the action is taken to a different, grittier and much more realistic level – or at least as realistic as the action in a PG-13 teen vampire film can get without a $200 million budget.
