"I'm hotter than you" - Eclipse to New Moon
13 April 2021
Sweet lord almighty it did not disappoint. To me at least, this was easily the funniest film of the series so far, because while Bella and Edward in the first film was funny, and Bella and Jacob in the second was much less so, somehow all three of them together are absolute fireworks.

Not because they suddenly have chemistry or anything, Bella is still dryer than the corpses of the whole Cullen family, Edward is still awkward and looks like he never wants to be there, and Jacob is now looking at a restraining order and a few years behind bars.

And yet again nothing happens for the first half of it...and yet, these two things are it's greatest strengths. The first half of the film desperately trying to come up with any reason it can to make some people think Bella will ever get with Jacob is hysterical, and when all three of them are in a scene together, hoo boy. Some of the most glorious casting ever, methinks.

Other than that, there is also some baffling directing and sound effects, the kind where you really have to wonder how it was even possible for something to be intentionally directed like that, the CGI is atrocious, the dialogue is as horrendous as ever, and basically, it's more Twilight. If that's what you want after the first two, then great.

And believe me, I did want more, cause I am genuinely having a blast with these abominations. Bring on Breaking Dawn.
