Dear Readers,
ECLIPSE IS IN THE BUILDING! Or theater, should I say! But it was AWESOME! THE MOST BADASS MOVIE EVER! Haha, sorry, my Eclipse high hasn't settled down yet! I saw it yesterday, 'nuff said! Haha, I'm going 2 definitely go see that again! Someone FINALLY got the movie right! It was exactly like the book! The only thing missing was the Angela scene and the part where Alice kidnaps Bella! But I picked out about 5 dozen quotes from the book! "I am Switzerland!"
That was in the movie! The opening scene was PERFECT! The Riley scene, not the meadow scene! Although, the meadow scene in the beginning, not the ending one, was GREEEEAAAATTTTTT!
Edward: In my time, it's normal! (it went something like that, I couldn't hear because that's when 3 assholes decided to block my view! Sorry bout the language, I'm still pretty pissed about that! People wouldn't shut up through the whole movie!)
Bella: In my time, it means I got knocked up! (I know that parts right!)
So yeah, I got a few funny stories about it! I went with my sister, her friend, and one of my friends who is crazy obsessed with Rpattz/Edward. (She laughed evilly on the part that Bella broke her hand!) We had to sit in line, we got there an hour early and the movie hadn't dropped from the time b4 us yet, so we're waiting in line, everyone's piling out of the theater that we're fixing 2 go into, and my friend's like, "HURRY UP!" She kept saying over and over. I said to her, "Hey, you've waited….(I had to count on my fingers from November til June; I know, I'm pathetic) 7 months for this, I think you can wait 20 more minutes!" BIG MISTAKE! She squeezed the life out of my arm! I know have a bruise! She said, while squeezing my arm, might I add, "NO I CAN'T!" Everyone turned 2 look at us cause she screamed it. True story!
My next story is, that the 3 assholes I told you about earlier in the post, came in right on the first meadow scene and blocked my view! One of them sat down right in front of me, and his big head was in the way! The other 2 moved, and he got up, AGAIN, and they moved down, so at least his head wasn't in my way!
Next story: Okay, so it's the scene when Leah goes for the newborn that was missed and Jacob comes out and helps her, throwing the newborn off of her. The newborn wraps his arms around Jacob and squeezes him, crushing his bones. When Jacob was phased back, naked might I add, (haha at that point I turned 2 my friend and said, "Oooo, Nakie Jakie!" haha) anyways, when he's screaming in pain, I hear something. A GIRL WAS SOBBING! She was lower down in the theater, like the middle row, I was very top row, and she was sobbing so LOUD! I'm sitting there thinking, "Really? She does know it's just a movie right? It's nothing serious! He freaking heals like a….a….your tongue! (Fact: Your tongue actually heals faster than any other part of your body! Why do you think it only hurts for a minute after you accidentally bite it? Your tongue has special healing powers!) Anyways, she sitting there sobbing like a madwoman whose cat just got ran over! She stopped when they carried him away. Crazy, I know! Haha!
Next story: So it's the proposal scene (MY FAVORITE!) and it's just after their kissing and Edward's like, "Not tonight!" I turned to my friend, who was steaming with jealousy, and started fanning my face, I actually needed to do that! I was flustered just freaking watching that scene! I asked, "Is it me, or was that just the steamiest scene you ever seen?" Haha, that scene was HOT! I was finally glad to see it! I've been wondering how they were going 2 play that scene out, and it was PERFECT! Although, I did notice, instead of fighting with Bella a little more, Edward kinda gave in WAY too soon! I mean he said like, 1 line and then was like, okay let's try! And they started going at each other like bunny rabbits! But who's complaining? Not me, that's for sure! After I said that though, I got nails dug into my skin! I've actually got the bandages to prove it! My friend clawed me 2 death and whispered screamed, "SHUT UP!" Haha! It was fun getting under her skin! It's so easy! And when Bella said, "Yes," after Edward popped the question, literally, people started cheering and clapping! No lie! They were like, "FINALLY!" They were glad she finally said, "Yes." She should have said yes the 1st time!
Okay, now let's talk about some of my favorite scenes in the movie! I was glad that they added some Riley scenes in there, cause I LOVE Riley! Hey, he may be the bad guy, kinda, but he is still very SEXY! I'm Team Edward/Riley!
Okay, so Riley scenes: I actually liked how they fit those in there! It focused on other things and showed just how dangerous that Riley and Victoria were! I mean, I wish Edward and Bella had a little more screen time together, but those Seattle scenes fit in there perfectly!
The Volturi in Seattle scene: Okay, this one was just boring and slowed the movie down! It's just my opinion, but I really don't like Jane or Dakota Fanning! I'm not hating on her, but I just don't really like her! I mean, she's my age and she goes and does The Runaways! I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not hating on it, I actually want to see it! I can already tell that the movie is going to be good, but also a little….okay, a lot more vulgar than any Twilight movie put together! Kstew is 20 years old, a legal adult! Dakota is like what, 16/17? She does a movie where she has sex and does drugs! Don't you think that's a little too much for her to do? It's almost as bad as Miley Cyrus' new clothing she wears! Anyways, this scene just kinda slowed the movie down and wasn't really needed!
The First Meadow scene: This scene was very sweet and romantic! And hilarious! One of my favorite quotes was in that scene! The one above when Bella says, "In my time it means I got knocked up!" Haha, that line gets me every time! It was just great! I didn't really hear much of that scene cause of those 3 assholes I told you about that decided to walk in late! But when Bella was like, "I need to get back at 4," and she got up and started walking away from Edward, he just stayed there. Me and my friend were like, "Is he going to go after her or is he just going to sit there?"
The Parking Lot When Edward and Bella Return From Jacksonville scene: When Edward asked Bella to stay in the car and she didn't everyone laughed like I knew they would. What really ticked me off was that Bella got on the motorcycle, even though Edward was there. That's not suppose to happen. It's suppose to be when Edward is away, she goes to Jacob because her true love isn't there! She only goes to see Jacob when Edward is gone, not when he's standing right there! It makes it look like she chooses Jacob over Edward and we all know she would never do that! Not if she wanted to keep her head! If she ever broke Edward's heart, actually she did when she kissed Jacob, then we would all chase after her with pitchforks!
The Police Station scene: This is in the beginning and Edward and Bella go to the police station. After Riley's parents walk out and Charlie comes out, they talk, Edward's all nice, of course! Then Edward pulls the 'plane tickets' card, and I was expecting a whirlwind of emotions from Charlie when Bella said there were two tickets and wanted Edward to come with her, but was surprised when he didn't throw a fit! All he says, "There's two tickets? Super." HAHA that had me in a fit of giggles! The way he said it with no emotion was GREAT! I love Billy Burke! The 1st Twilight movie, he was all awkward, New Moon he was a lot better, and Eclipse he was just FANTASTIC!
The First Awkward Kiss Between Jacob and Bella scene: Eh….it was okay! Not really how I'd imagined it! I mean, yeah everything was there and it was exactly from the book! The part where Jacob is telling her he loves her is exactly how I pictured it! It was the part where Bella punched Jacob in the face is what I didn't picture exactly. I mean, it looked kinda fake if you ask me! It was good, just that it was a muffled sound and it looked like Jacob was frozen there, like they just put his image there and he wasn't actually there. Her reaction was really good, haha, everyone laughed and 'oooo'ed, my friend laughed evilly like I said and said, "Mwhaha, take that Bella!" Yeah, my friend completely hates Bella/Kstew cause she gets to kiss on Rob, and is 'dating' him. Don't get me started on that. THEIR DATING! That's all I'm going to say.
The Proposal scene: Ahhhhh, the proposal scene! The best damn scene in the whole movie! It was….there aren't words to describe how….how….romantic and fluffy it was! I mean, they got it PERFECT! It was exactly how I'd imagined it! Right down to the, Edward: "Stop taking your clothes off." Bella: "Do you want to do that part?" THANK YOU DAVID SLADE! I'M FREAKING IN LOVE WITH YOU NOW! Finally, someone got a really famous scene right! Right down to the little lines! I was surprised that quote was actually in there! I'm like, "YES!" I literally threw my fist in the air and whispered screamed that! When Edward got down on one knee and the way he did it was just perfect….too perfect! And when he lifted her off the bed and swung her around, kinda, it was so sweet! And the leg hitch! Three words….OH MY EDWARD! That was AWESOME! This scene altogether was steamy! My stomach started doing flip flops when they were making out on the bed! I was picturing myself in Bella's position like I'm sure most of you were, also. I was actually flustered after that! True story! It's all Edward's fault! He's so damn sexy when he's in make-out mode!
The Graduation scene: It's simple, Anna Kendrick is officially badass! She was great in that scene! I personally love Jessica/Anna! Anna is a great Jessica! They couldn't have found any better Jessica than Anna! But I was a little surprised they put Bella and Edward by each other. I pictured it like the book described where Edward had to sit in the front and Bella had to sit by Jessica. Eric was actually suppose to give the speech. But Jessica did a good job! "Who the hell knows?" Haha, I loved her speech! But I was glad they put Bella and Edward by each other! It was sweet! And when Charlie stood up, I couldn't help but let a chuckle loose! The only thing wrong with that scene is that Jacob and Billy weren't there, but who cares! TEAM EDWARD! Haha!
The scene after Bella punched Jacob and Edward pulls up: Okay, let's just all admit, Edward is one sexy guy when he is pissed off! I think I would do something to piss him off just so he could look that hot! It was great! And Jacob's line in that scene, had me in tears. Literally. Jacob: I kissed Bella….she broke her hand….on my face….big misunderstanding." OH MY EDWARD was that funny! I almost peed myself laughing so hard! I'm not Team Jacob, but he was pretty funny in this movie, especially this scene!
The Kitchen Scene When Bella Gets Her Hand Wrapped Up: Emmett: What'd ya do, Bella? Try to walk and chew gum at the same time? Bella: No, I punched a werewolf in the face. Emmett: Badass! Haha, I love Emmett! He was great! That line has me every time! It's not like the book, but I personally think it was better than the line from the book. I mean, "Fall down again, Bella?" was just a little too boring. But "Try to walk and chew gum at the same time?" was soooo much better!
The Rosalie's History scene: Okay, this scene is what I was anxious, other than the proposal scene, to see how it played out! I was waiting for this scene. The one thing they didn't mention was how much she really wanted a baby. They touched on it for like one line, and that was it. I don't think they stressed it enough to show just how much Rosalie wanted a baby. They didn't say anything about how she would do anything for one, even give up Emmett. But her history scene, was just heartbreaking! It's not really how I pictured it. I pictured it much, much darker at night and not so light as it was. I didn't picture any cars passing by. I pictured it an empty street with Royce and the men under an orange-like streetlight. Not a bright one. And when Royce called her over and she went over, I was like, "No! Don't do that!" It broke my heart! I actually cried! Human Rosalie seemed so vulnerable!
The Jasper's History scene: This one was great! Not my favorite, but really good! Exactly how I'd imagined it. Except instead of late evening, I think it was late evening, I pictured it at midnight or somewhere around there where it was almost pitch black. But it was really good! Exactly how I had pictured Maria, Lucy, and Nettie! Again, they kept the lines straight from the book! And human Jasper….well, there's not much you can say, except that he was very sexy in his Confederate uniform! GO SOUTHERNS! No offence to anyone! I'm from the South, so of course I'm going to support Jasper! Haha! Anyways, the scene where he had to destroy that little newborn in the barn, was really depressing, especially when he said he could feel what they were feeling. That was straight from the book! Another point for David Slade! I was a little disappointed they didn't show Jasper walking into the diner and seeing Alice, but they did say what they said in the diner. And they didn't have Edward say that he came home from a hunting trip to find all his things in the garage! That would have been good! And when Alice and Jasper kissed, me and my friend were like, "AW!" and clapped silently. It was funny cause Bella looked away awkwardly! Oh, and it showed his battle scars!
The Tent scene: I think everyone was looking forward to this scene! I was! Jacob: Let's face it….I'm hotter than you." You know as much as I do that there's a double meaning in that line! Haha! Edward was furious! I'd never thought I'd say this, but thank you, Jacob Black, for making Edward furious, which in return made him look even sexier than he already is! A mad Edward is sexy….a furious Edward is like, Oh Hot Damn, This is my Man! But again, the lines were exactly from the book! Edward: If you weren't trying to steal the reason of my existence, I might actually like you. Jacob: If you weren't going to suck the life out of the girl I love, then….no, not even then. Haha, Jacob is pretty funny, but still I'm Team Edward forever!
The Second Kiss Between Jacob and Bella: Um….okay. It was pretty awkward. I felt a little uncomfortable actually. It was weird seeing them kiss. I was like, "Okay….awkward!" But when Edward called Bella 'Mrs. Cullen' I was dazzled! Again, I was picturing myself in Bella's shoes. Hehe! And guess what….THEY KEPT IT TO THE BOOK! Edward's top ten best nights were in there! Again, I FREAKING LOVE YOU, DAVID SLADE! But when Jacob comes up over the mountain top saying, "You're marrying him?" everyone was like, "Oohh!" They were not expecting that! I wasn't either, I forgot how he found out, I didn't have time to finish reading Eclipse! I've read it many times before, but I was reading to remember how everything went. But when Edward tries to stop Bella, and she's screams, "DON'T" I was made my hand into cat claws and said, "Rarr." That's suppose to be a cat noise, imagine a cat hissing at you. That's what I said.
The Fight Scene the Cullens/Werewolves vs. the Newborns scene: This was the greatest action scene ever! It was intense! And the look Emmett and Paul gave each other was awesome! To me it said, "Secretly, we're cool. But around everyone else, we hate each other. And thanks!" Haha! But overall, that scene was INTENSE! And when Victoria saw all her precious little newborns being killed by the Cullens and the Wolves, she's like, "WTF?"
The Battle Edward vs. Victoria and Seth vs. Riley scene: Okay, this was my second favorite scene! It was fun seeing Edward all dark! And I felt really bad for Riley when he's getting killed and he calls for Victoria and she doesn't give him a second glance. When Edward was screaming at Victoria that she would never get another chance like that, his tone kinda reminded me of the scene in Remember Me after Caroline's art show, he goes to his dad's work and they get into that fight and he was shouting at his dad. If you haven't seen Remember Me, then you won't know what I'm talking about. But this scene was AWESOME! Bella wasn't suppose to stab her arm, but I think it was better that she did. It related her to the third wife. And Edward seeing her through his headlock, his "Oh s***," look on his face was great! But I think the best thing in the whole scene was when Edward killed Victoria! They kept it exactly to the book, where it looked like he was kissing her neck, but actually tearing her head off! And when he was done, he just walks over to Bella casually and just rips her shirt to wrap it around her arm. He doesn't say anything! Haha, that was great! Oh, him just ripping Victoria's head off is no big deal! And then he just took out a lighter and threw it on Victoria's body! Um….where did he get that lighter? Vampires don't smoke, and he wasn't expecting Victoria to come after him. Is it just a coincidence that he happened to have a lighter on him that day? Haha, before he left, he probably thought to himself, "Underwear, check. Bella, check. Lighter in case a vamp comes after us and our plan to keep Victoria away from Bella fails, check."
The Time Jacob Gets Hurt: There's not much to really say about this scene. I told you my story about it. The dead silence and some girl starts sobbing when he screams in pain. And when I said, "Nakie Jakie." That's about all I really have to say about it. It was really good, exactly how I'd imagined it, even though they didn't show it in the book, we just read it when Edward told Bella. It was a pretty good scene though. It showed Edward was really concerned for Jacob cause he knew it was going to hurt Bella. See, this is why Edward is so much better than Jacob. If Edward got hurt, Jacob would laugh and try to take Bella while Edward was weak. If Jacob got hurt, he did, then he would be concerned for him and try to help him get better so it wouldn't hurt Bella. FYI, Edward is therefore, better than Jacob.
The Bad News Bella Gives Jacob scene: When Bella pulls up in front of Jacob's house and he suddenly screams, you see Billy's face and you're like, "Whoa." It was pretty heartbreaking. I don't like Jacob, but I felt really sorry for him. Bella: Until my heart stops beating. Jacob: Maybe even after. For a second, I actually doubted there was even going to be a Breaking Dawn. The look on Bella's face made me think that she was going to run back to him and profess her love to him and leave Edward. Now, that would have made me really mad because, 1) it wouldn't follow the story. And 2) Edward and Bella are suppose to be together. Jacob imprints on Renesmee, which I still think is a little gross.
The 2nd and Last Time in the Meadow scene: This scene was really good! They kept to the book, yet again no surprise there, and added a few lines in there. Bella stands up and gives this long speech about how she wants to do everything right, it shows Edward's face. He looked like he was thinking, "I'm so proud of her….or….How did I get so lucky?" Either one of those, I can't read people that good. But it was sweet overall. It followed most lines from the book. Edward didn't try to have sex there, but it was applied that Bella wanted to wait after their married. The bulletproof line was in there! It was good! I expected them to kiss, but they didn't, sadly.
The credits: "! IT CAN'T BE OVER! I DON'T WANT TO WAIT A YEAR FOR BREAKING DAWN, AND IT'S JUST THE 1ST HALF! WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!"
As you can tell, I was pretty sad when the credits started rolling! I'm not ready to wait a year and a half for part 1 of Breaking Dawn! It's going to be torture. But the good thing about it, if it's rated R, I can get in to see it cause I'll be 17 and a senior when it comes out! There better be tons of sex and pillow feathers! And most definitely a NAKED EDWARD! If there's not, someone's going to die!
My Character Reviews:
Edward: It seemed to me like he was barely in it. I think it was because he didn't talk that much in the middle. In the beginning he talked some, but the middle, he was there, just really quiet. He had a few lines here and there, but the end is when he talked the most. He was a lot less brooding, if you ask me. He was more laid back as the film progressed. He was kinda uptight at first, but then in the middle, he let loose and actually became the Edward we all read in the books but have been absent in the last two movies! Again, thank you David freaking Slade!
Bella: She was a mixture of herself in Twilight and New Moon. She was kinda awkward and shy like in Twilight, but more outgoing and more involved like she was in New Moon, if that makes sense. She was like mid-way this time. 1st movie, it didn't seem she gave any effort, 2nd movie she was borderline and almost out did it. But the 3rd movie, I think she was perfect. She nailed it the third time around.
Jacob: A jerk, but still a young boy. He had his moments where he showed the right emotion. He was a little cocky, okay a lot cocky. There's not much to say about him. He was funny but he was kinda a jerk throughout the movie.
Alice: Oh, Alice! I wish I had a best friend like Alice! One who, sets up a slumber party, but leaves me alone with her hot brother Edward and gets her family out of the house so we can talk about sex and marriage. And so we can get engaged! I really need to find me an Alice!
Jasper: His accent was somewhat there! It was there at points, but then at other points it was gone. I think he did talk in his flashback, because I remember his accent being really thick at one point. But overall, he was awesome! Of course, he's Jasper!
Carlisle: HELLOOOOOO, DOCTOR! They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but if Carlisle was my doctor, I'll never eat another apple ever again! Dude, where have you been hiding all that muscle for the past 2 movies? Esme is one lucky gal! You should wear tight t-shirts like Edward to work. You would never have to numb another girls body part again to stitch them up! They would be too busy looking at your muscles to even begin to comprehend what's going on!
Esme: Dear, sweet Esme! Who knew you could be so violent when you wanted to? You can kick some newborn ass, is all I got to say!
Rosalie: I feel really bad for Rosalie. After her story, you see her side clearly and don't really blame her for being so mean to Bella. She was great and obviously got some sort of message through to Bella.
Emmett: What is there to say? It's Emmett! Emmett is BADASS! He cracks me up! He is such an intimidating, loveable teddy bear! I love you, Emmy!
Charlie: Charlie, you, sir, are one badass father! Having the sex talk with your daughter was very brave of you! I figured when she said she was a virgin that you would be happy to hear it! Not cover your ears! But oh well! Keep rocking, Charlie! Oh, and can you do us all a favor and lighten up on Edward, eh? He's really sexy….er, I mean, very polite.
Overall Review: This movie was definitely one of the best Twilight movies. The first barely had any book content, the second had somewhat of the book content, but the third was like a direct copy of the book itself. All the little quotes were there and most of the important scenes. The love triangle was there, but I think it was a little too focused on Bella and Jacob, and so they didn't really have time for Edward and Bella. But the romantic scenes between the two definitely made up for the less screen time they had together than they should have had. And in the end, we all know who she picks. We got 2 other movies to look forward to and don't have to worry about the love triangle. The action was badass, I like that word now, and the romance was intense and left you wanting more. There were definitely some twists and turns. The action kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I was like in a daze, so I couldn't really remember everything, so I'm definitely seeing it a second time. I suggest you all do the same so you can see things you missed. Usually, when I see a movie I really like, I see it a second time because you miss things the first time around!
So I hope you enjoyed my long review post! Now, it's your turn! I want to know what you all thought of the movie! And tell me some interesting stories that happened when you went and saw it! Did you guys hear about the movie not working in Chicago? The sound went out at midnight premiere and they had to get a refund or something like that! If anyone in Chicago knows what happened, review! We all want to know what happened, I'm sure!
Next week, I'm going on vacation so I won't update. The latest I'll update is not next Thursday, but the next. 2 weeks from today! I'm sorry to make you wait, but I won't have internet connection!
But review this chapter and let me know what you thought about Eclipse! Oh, and your favorite quotes! Love you guys!
