PG-13
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner
This is the third installment of the much anticipated twilight series "eclipse". Anyone who has a teenage or twenty-something daughter will know about this movie. The movie is fairly good, definitely geared for its target audience of young girls/women. There happens to be a following of women of all ages. I actually enjoyed the story and saw it with my own daughter who happens to be a "twihard" (people who are consumed with the twilight series including reading the books numerous times, watching the DVD's repeatedly and hosting their own Twilight parties too)!
Dilemma-dilemma-dilemma, who is Bella going to choose, Edward or Jacob?It is difficult to say because she cares deeply for both of them and in this movie Jacob is more assertive about his feelings and Edward is standing his ground as well. Bella is at risk of losing her life with the obsessed vampire Victoria who is consumed with Bella's destruction. Victoria is determined that Edward needs to feel the pain that she feels because he killed the love of her life-James. Both Edward and Jacob team up to help keep Bella safe against the evil Victoria.
There are also some new vampires who have arrived on the scene. They are know as the "Newborns". They are hungry and overwhelmed for their thirst for blood. A teenage boy named Riley is missing in the Forks area and has become Victoria's new friend.
The Volturi ( The royalty of the vampire world) also come back to stop the Newborns.
They decide to wait and see if the Newborns can destroy the Cullens (Edwards family) first. There are twists and turns and it is somewhat melodramatic in parts. There were some pretty intense fighting scenes and some hot and steamy kissing scenes with a lot of passion, a well deserved PG-13 rating. Bella definitely has her work cut out for her. Choices and consequences, what is a beautiful young girl to do? Guess you'll just have to see the movie and decide for yourself! The total running time is: 2 hours & 4 minutes.
