Set to blaze on the 9^th of July in India,  the third sequel of the Twilight saga, Eclipse has already been released in the west (30^th of June). In spite of the fact that the third book is not considered to be the most hectic and eventful of the lot by many readers (which wasn’t the case for me though and few others too I hope!!!), the movie has been otherwise, revealing innumerable myths about the Quilliettes  (imprinting!!!) and the vampires.

The movie could probably be the best in line as of now in the saga with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) coming as close to mutating into a bloodsucking vampire fusing forever with her eternal love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) though this part is (he he!!!) in the next book ! She is faced with multiple dilemmas ranging from her decision to adopt immortality to Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), her jolly time playmate who for once was the reason she was alive even now, trying to make her realize her love for him  which makes the paranormal romance more or less, an almost perfect triangle.

The movie is centered around the continual Seattle attacks which are later discovered to be a plot by the flame-haired Victoria (played by Bryce Dallas Howard replacing Rachelle Lefevre) who with her freshly hatched passe of newborn vampires is out hunting for Bella to take revenge for the loss of her mate James, slayed by Edward in an attempt to save Bella.

Team Jacob and Team Edward put up a great team effort at the end paving way for new tensions in the next book, “Breaking Dawn” ,between the two teams and in the process spurting friendship between the two opposing  packs (in the mildest possible form i.e…!!!)

For characters with such vexed mindsets,  the main actors have done a fair enough job according to many fans but  the critics claim their performances have been “extraordinarily dull”??? However, the movie is sure to appeal  to its teenage audience resurfacing feelings of sexual tension, compulsion and chastisity as in the book.

And it also looks like the“30 Days of Night” Director, David Slate surely did his fair share of homework indoctrining  himself into the world Stephenie Meyers crafted and established in the minds of millions  across the globe, making the movie more than just up in the intensity level which he proves in the movie’s climactic scenes.

The earlier Twilight movies were more on the “sweeter and cuter” side but this one here brings in more action and fights for the guys making it something that they would actually want to bring their dates to!!!
