Wednesday night my fellow Twilight Saga Obsessed co-workers went to see Eclipse. We are so corny for leaving work early just so we could beat traffic to see this movie lmao! But for those of you who are fans of the books, I'm sure you understand. I can't lie about the fact that I feel silly for being so in love with these books for teens when I'm no longer one, but after seeing a teen girl being escorted to the movie with a group of at least 4 women in their 40s.... that feeling subsided. As if she really needed all of you to come with her for a PG-13 film *side-eye* but to each their own. I'm not mad at you.
Any way on to the review. This will not be a spoiler for those of you who haven't seen it yet. Instead it is just a quick post to tell you how much I loved it. Like the other films the movie was very close to the book and most scenes were just as you pictured them if you read the book. The fighting scenes where better than the previous films (and so was the makeup). Bella was just as annoying as she was in the Eclipse novel (can't you just smack her sometimes) and Jacob (Taylor) was even more buff than in New Moon. I'm ashamed of myself for looking at that young man that way but.... what can I say? All around it was a great film.
But if we can talk about the author for a minute. The one thing that I love the most about Stephenie Meyer is the fact that her writing is so descriptive without being over worked. Ya know what I mean? Have you ever read a book that went on for pages setting up the scene? It can be too much because all you want is more action. I love her writing style! It's like everyone is seeing the same thing (which is rare in most novels).
After seeing the movie, I have really been inspired to write more often. Not just for this blog but personally. In any case, I hope the motivation sticks. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, if you don't have plans for Independence weekend, check it out.
