Starring: Wolf-Boy, The Sparkly One and the......girlThe movie centres around two separate stories. The first being about a group of evil vampires who have descended upon random people in a nearby city and converted them into an army of ferocious and bloodthirsty ‘newborn’ vampires. It soon becomes evident that they are being recruited by someone to seek out and kill Bella out of revenge for the murder of her true love at the hands of Edward.
The other story focuses on the very strange and continuing love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. Jacob is convinced that Bella loves him, in fact he believes that Bella loves both him and Edward but she just doesn’t realise it yet and he wastes no time telling Bella and Edward about his theory. Despite believing that Bella could never choose Jacob over Edward you wonder whether Bella may be having second thoughts about her true love.
Meanwhile, the newborns are on a "seek & destroy" Bella mission and make their way to the little town of Forks. An unprecedented but necessary alliance is formed to protect Bella and causes headaches for everyone. Jacob and Edward continually clash horns throughout the movie and in one scene Jacob even declares to Edward that he is ‘hotter’ than him. Edward also remarks to Bella sarcastically ‘doesn‘t he own a shirt?’and it’s true as Jacob does spend an awful lot of time being shirtless in the movie. It made me wonder whether this was really necessary for the story or whether it was only made necessary for the female viewers.
This movie has action, suspense, romance and some danger and I particularly enjoyed the flashbacks which helped explain the existence of some of the characters. But don’t expect to see acting noteworthy of any important awards. Take it from the BOFA, buy yourself a popcorn and coke and sit back and enjoy the continuing saga of Bella, Edward and Jacob as they take you through a rollercoaster ride of 'will they, won’t they' and just resign yourself to the fact that it is what it is.
6/10 (you will not be disappointed if you are a fan). - The BOFA
The flashbacks worked well and helped to explain those little extras. I enjoyed this one more than the book. Good to see Jasper kicking some butt, he looked like a weenie in the first two movies.
