After the Eclipse: The Informal Review

I admit the movie was good. It was well scripted and the plot was just mixed well enough.

* The vampires were still wussies compared to the werewolves, and the werewolves were just pure brawn, lacking taurine or some brain nutrient for common sense.
* Edward was still the pale dood with a bucket full of cheesy lines.
* Jacob was still the airhead who has his nerves laced with excess testosterone.
* [and] Bella was still the two timing heroine who just can't get her hormones straightened out.

Not surprisingly enough, my girlfriend just kept squirming whenever scenes of Jacob (in human form of course) was shown, whether it be arguing with Edward or just innocently trekking the woods without his shirt on.

I was literally hooked with the movie from start to end. That would be both a bad and a good thing. It was bad since my attention at some point focused on how irritated I was with Bella as she kept flirting in-your-face style between the two main actors.

She seemed to have a little difficulty if she wanted a possessive blockhead who only cared about having what he wants or some undead guy who was cheesier than all the swiss cheese factories combined. Who could even admire someone who says "[but] I love you more"?

It was good in most ways as I liked the way the fight scenes traspired ("yo rip their heads off!!!"). Another strong point in the movie was Alice and how she made the movie looked oddly "emo-kawaii" (haha so alright I'm being biased as she is the character who can match up in terms of being a looker to my girlfriend's hard-nippled, drool inducing furball). Finally, for an overly romantic (and sickening at that) movie, it had a cool comedy twist every now and then, especially scenes between Mr. shirt on, and Mr. shirt off.

The scene in the woods nearing the final part for example where Bella had herself wrapped around Jacob's arms, and Edward couldn't do anything was just cruel and funny at the same time. However, I was not sure if the way Edward stared at the two during the "embrace" signified contempt or envy. Maybe he wanted to be in Bella's place instead?

He [Edward] was also a cold dood, maybe he should have taken off his clothes as well and joined in??? Nah, that would be so much of a scene reminiscent of that "Brokeback" movie...the tent, the mountains, two guys...

Well maybe ditch the girl first.


-LOL-
