No I am not a Twihard, I mean yes I have read all the books and liked the first three, and now have seen all the movies, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love poking fun at the series.\u00a0 It is a guilty pleasure of which I have little guilt.<\/p>\n
First off, I feel bad for all of the men who were forced to go see this by their women.\u00a0 The theatre I went to had quite a few and I heard some groaning by these poor men.\u00a0 Though when one vamp was killed in a cool effect way there was a loud manly “NICE!” heard through the theatre, to wit everyone had a good giggle.<\/p>\n
I went to see the movie at the base theatre.\u00a0 I have never been to the base theatre so I didn’t know what to expect.\u00a0 Would the screen be tiny?\u00a0 How would the sound be?\u00a0 What sort of chairs do they have?\u00a0 Well the base theatre is really nice, a real theatre with real seats on an angle so you don’t have to worry about someone’s head in front.\u00a0 The seats were really nice, wide, clean with loads of leg room.\u00a0 Also, the cup holder in on the chair in front of you, got to say, that is a nice feature.\u00a0 The screen is the same size at the multiplex screens in the town over (20-30min drive).\u00a0 The sound, really good, and because it is a smaller room, it is much more intense.\u00a0 There was one moment of the screen going yellow on us but I don’t know if that was in the movie or the projectionist’s fault.\u00a0 Only problem with the theatre is it is cash only, and I gave all my cash to my husband for the PPV event he went to see tonight.\u00a0 So I had to dig around in my purse for loonies and tunies to pay, luckily I had enough.\u00a0 Amazing how much change you carry when the country doesn’t have paper money under 5$ bills.<\/p>\n
On to the movie.<\/p>\n
So 1\/3 of it was awesome, sadly that 1\/3 is broken up over most of the movie.\u00a0 There is way too much sappy “I love you so much it hurts” crap.\u00a0 Now those of you who I have spoken to about the Twilight series is one of my biggest beefs (behind the fourth book ruining the series) is from Eclipse when it is obvious that the author has never felt the kind of love she is trying to write about.\u00a0 If you love someone, really love someone like she claims, there isn’t room for another romanic love.\u00a0 It just doesn’t happen.\u00a0 That is lust and deep feelings, and who can blame the kid, warm hot wolf kid who continues to put up with your shit and calls you beautiful at every turn no matter how many times you hurt him, who wouldn’t care for him and lust for him?\u00a0 Same with Abercrombie Ad boyfriend who adores you.\u00a0 The lalalove stuff was not my thing, and it was too long and drawn out in those scenes.\u00a0 There is nothing in the movies that makes you feel Bella is into Jake, and honestly, Edward looked to be in pain the whole time, like he was passing a stone or something.\u00a0 I really feel that Kristen Stewart’s performance in the first movie was great, she was SO Bella, but this movie I felt like she was phoning it in.\u00a0 The awkward uncomfortable don’t know how to talk look was way overplayed.\u00a0 I was happy to see more Jasper, and happy with the flashback scenes, I was so scared they would leave those out, though I do wish they emphasized some things more with them.\u00a0 More about Rose’s desire for children, more about Jasper having a hardship with feeling his victims emotions, you know, his mortal victims!\u00a0 Those who have seen the movie, the wedding dress flash back was a nice visual!\u00a0 Rose kicked ass.<\/p>\n
The Wolves were awesome!\u00a0 So fluffy and cool and when Bella is petting Jake, I loved it!\u00a0 The fight scenes were so good too, I really like how they did that and could have taken more scenes of that.<\/p>\n
The wigs were lame, just use their real hair, the makeup sucked, but that is the same as the whole series.\u00a0 The sparkling was done better, thankfully no chime sounds to let us know they are sparkling.\u00a0 You know people have been making vampire movies for almost as long as they have been making movies, you might want to use the techniques they used rather then slabbing tons of baby powder on your characters and calling it a day.<\/p>\n
The landscape shots were amazing, I see more and more tourism to the area coming.\u00a0 The snow scene was not convincing, and who camps in cold weather without a heat source?\u00a0 Seriously there is such a thing as winter camping, people do it all the time.\u00a0 The music was pretty nice too, went well with the movie.<\/p>\n
Oh and the “Valedictorian” was pretty unbelievable, I know they had to give more lines to the actress because her career is going places and they need her to stay in the movie but couldn’t they have made her class president or something?\u00a0 How was that person the smartest of their class?<\/p>\n
I don’t rate the movie highly, but I do say if you are a fan of the series go see it.\u00a0 If you are not, why would you go to the third movie of any series you never saw?\u00a0 And to all you men dragged there, I am so sorry.\u00a0 I would never do that to anyone.\u00a0 My man went to the UFC fight tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
