Maybe I should. I kinda enjoyed the first book... was quite repetitious. Then I saw the first movie and I noticed how manu opportunties they missed to make the story exciting as a film. All in all, there was nothing really special about it, except that it made me laugh for how bad it was at times.
So a new director at the helm, maybe he gets it better. But no.... slow slow slow slow... drag drag drag drag... and very little happens. apart from that the story is extremely unbalanced, unclear and undeveloped... Too bad, the key elements are there.
Here is the second trailer for eclipse if you have not seen it.

God, this looks bad. I'm sorry, but I can't stand the franchise in general. The books are so poorly written and are poor influences to kids, and the movies are just plain bad.
Yeah, having the two main characters be virgins and wait till marriage is DEFINITELY a bad influence on kids.
😐
Having the main vampires be "good" by resisting their urge to kill people and be good is DEFINITELY a bad influence on kids.

From the looks of the trailer the action will only be about 5 mins and the rest will be bella/edward/jacob saga. Also wtf and i the only one who finds the volturi boring besides edward/jacob/bella miss no expression and that awkward pausing thing she got going on.
The Vulturi are my favorite part of Twilight, for real. I love Aro's character.
I love the live action portrayal of him even better.

I, as well, think that the Vulturi are the best and most interesting part of the Twillight Saga.
I want some more backstory. Why do they look fragile/glassy? Does this happen to all elder vamps? What are the origins of vamps, period?
I'm reading book 4, right now, so I may get some of those questions answered.
I like the Underworld mythos MUCH better than Twilight....which is part of the reason I liked seeing Sheen play an Elder vamp (despite it being a traitor to his werewolf origins in underworld).
Sadly, Twilight vamps are >>>>>underworld vamps. 🙁
Fragile I woudn't say that cause their older. The theory is newborn vamps are more stronger because that still a lot of fresh human blood in them and their eyes are crimson for the first year and after that if their diet is vegetarian they have a golden colour and if they are not vegetarian they they have red. I don't get the whole sparkly when in the sun....Vampires don't sparkle period! they shoudn't even be in daylight.
