Eclipse Movie

So, after work on Sunday I met up with my sisters and after speed shopping a few essential items we headed to Pizza Hut in far-too-warm-7-months-preggers-speed (we all were hot, big sis is the pregnant one! ;)) and had a quick bite to ear before heading to the cinema. Anticipation's were very high! :)

My verdict...? It was OK.
If I'd not read the books it might not even have gotten a pass... Sorry! I enjoyed it, I did, but it was just trying to fit everything in and not managing very well... I feel there should have been more/better/detailed focus on either flashbacks of the Cullen's pre-vampire days or on Bella's mixed emotions/feelings of guilt and/or the Edward/Jacob vampire/werewolf rivalry/comradery thing. :)
Yes, I DO realize that it's impossible to fit everything in even if I'd like it all to be there but then pick something and focus, do well, on that thing.

The chemistry between Rob and Kristen is much better in this movie, she was a little bit more like my Bella but still not there...I just don't think she has it in her... :/ :)

Biggest disappointment though is not the cramming too much of the story (but still not enough! ;)) into too small window of time or Kristen not being my Bella...it's... THE RING!?! OMG it was just sooo...wrong! Really badly wrong! Not at all as delicate and intricate as I'd imagined it (or even close how it was described in the book!)! It looked too modern, too strange almost like a shield...or a bug's eye! Wrong, wrong, wrong...!

Here's sort of what I had imagined Elizabeth Masen's ring to be like:


:) :) :)


...not like

!!! :/ :[

I think, will need to see them again to be sure! ;), that the first movie in the Twilight Saga is still my favourite...
Looking forward to the two Breaking Dawn movies! Maybe they'll get it done right for the last one! ;)
