Hey Kids!
Ok I know this review is a little late...but I know you all will forgive me, right? (crickets)...Ok well moving on. Now The third film in the Twilight Saga has come out and there are two things that I definitely now know. The first, I am NOT a Twi-Hard. Now don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed the books and I like the movies but I'm not all that invested in them like some people (rolling eyes at the big chick screaming at the different trailers on youtube). The Second, I think I'm on the fence when it comes to this whole Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. Now before you get all crazy and start throwing little hissy fits let me explain. In this particular movie you see a lot more of the attraction that Bella has for both Edward and Jacob. (And by the way I HATE BELLA! I DO NOT understand why these two guys are fighting over her and while everyone is risking their lives to save her.) But any way I digress, The third film shows that its time for Bella to make her decision. Is she gonna keep putting herself and others in danger because she likes to have her cake and eat it too. And the crazy thing is once she finally admits to herself that she has been leading Jacob on and she does actually love him more than in a friendly way. She ends up being more confused than ever. I guess Edward shouldn't of let Jacob sleep in the tent with him and Bella. Speaking of tent maybe it was just me but I was getting a big homoerotic vibe from the direction they were taking that Edward/Jacob confession scene. I mean it was like they were trying to channel Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and Broke back Mountain.
And Twi-hards before you try to get me kicked off blogger calm down. I am not saying that they are gay I am just saying that that scene got me a little more excited than I am sure it meant too (me and the rest of the gays!). Maybe its because I kept thinking how much MORE fun it would of been in the tent if Bella WASN'T there!!!!
Now as far as what's going on in the movie basically, (without actually telling the movie) something is happening in Seattle and it all leads up to a big showdown at the end of the movie. The wolves and Cullens decide to bury their treaty terms they have with each other in order to save Bella and their selective towns.
This book was probably my favorite out of the series and it is because a lot of the back stories are explained...like how the wolves came into existence and why the "army" is being created. The flashbacks were the parts I was looking the most forward to seeing in this movie and sadly they let me down! Only because they didn't go as in depth as they should have and it all just seemed RUSHED!!!! And sadly to those of you that are going to see this or have seen this and haven't read the books you will be missing out on what I think are the best stories in the entire SERIES!!!
Victoria is back and in case you didn't know they replaced Victoria (Rachelle Leferve) from the first and second movie with a more well known actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, who I know from movies such as "Terminator Salvation", "Spider Man 3" and "The Village". She does a good job and we are suppose to hate her and can't wait for her to finally be "deposed of" and she does a great job of making us want that. My sources tell me that Rachelle was replaced due to scheduling conflicts. And this is what I have to say about to Rachelle about that...Rachelle sweetie you did an effing show! You let the shooting schedule of a movie that NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE will probably see, get you replaced on what was to be not only your shining moment in the series but also the highest grossing film of your career!!! Wow!
And moving on...
I will say this Taylor Lautner's Acting is A LOT better in this movie. But I mean honestly who was really paying attention to his acting in the last movie...So I guess its safe to say that while hitting the gym he also made time to take some acting lessons. And because of his age during the time "New Moon" came out I didn't feel comfortable commenting on how HOT! He looks in these movies (that is when he doesn't have that hideous wig on). Speaking of wigs, Whoever is in charge of hair and make-up needs to be FIRED! The wigs that they keep putting on the Cullens are HORRIBLE! And why do they have them looking so sloppy pasty. I mean I know they are vampires and all but Lord their makeup looked like a kindergarten class took some white paint and just had a field day with all of them.
Put Taylor you're 18 now so that means I can say how I really feel and I would like to say...You know I think I will still leave those comments to myself I mean this is suppose to be a family friendly review, right? (blank stare)
Robert Pattinson is the reason I think I am on the fence for Team Edward and Team Jacob. He is gorgeous! I mean he really has a very handsome face and presence. And I have a love/hate relationship with him right now and his relationship with Bella. I mean yes he is a bit controlling...but hey that's what Bella is into. And he is soo protective of her and to me that is just so HOT! I mean that is true love right? I remember my father telling me once when I was younger and I asked him how you know when you're in love with someone and he responded "When you're willing to die for someone that's how you know you really and truly love them"! So I guess Edward and Bella are the real deal because She is also willing to die for him (she proved that in the second movie). And by the way my parents have been married almost 30 years...So I guess my dad knows what he's talking about with the true love.
Kristen Stewart is a good actress. We can hate on her all we want but she is a good actress. And in these movies, especially this one. She proves that. And I didn't notice her biting her lip that much in this one so that was good. But the main reason I say she is a good actress is because she manages to bring Bella to life from the books. While reading the books I couldn't stand Bella and kinda of secretly hope she would die. And in the movies I feel the EXACT same way! LOL
My favorite character in the books are Emmett. He is the one that I would of been chasing after not Edward and Jacob. And with Kellan Lutz as Emmett in the movies I stand by this. He is super HOT and I wish they would give him some scenes where he has to take his shirt off. To show Mr. Black what a grown man's abs and body is suppose to look like. I wonder if Summitt Entertainment has received my petition on giving Kellan more scene time in the last two films?
Now these movies are not made for the movie goer or movie buff with a more sophisticated taste or palette. There isn't any real cinematography or dialogue that's worth noting. These movies are made for two reasons 1. For the fans! 2. To Make a HELL of A LOT of money. So far this movie has made $559,000,000 worldwide! Yes you read that correctly. And the kicker is that it only costs 68 million to make this last movie.
Go see this movie if you are a fan of the books and other two movies. Those of you that are fans of this particular book do not be surprised if you don't like the movie as much as you would hope. But I still think you should see it. If you are just completely sick of vampires and werewolves than DO NOT go see this. Wait and go see the new movie "Vampires Suck!", which is sure to be HIGHLIRIOUS and a good spoof of these movies.
~Verdict~
Two snaps up and Dakota Fanning you are FIERCE as JANE!!!
Loved it!
