Twilight SPEEEEESSSSSHHH (part 3)


Hmmm, theres always something about this time of the year. The airs a bit crispier, people are more snugged up in there winter best, the trees are a eerie stone grey and the squeal of tweens (and one very big mexican) can be heard near any big movie complex. Wait a second, what was that last part? oh...mah...gawd, it can't be that time of year already can it? Yes i think it is! New Twilight already shiteee!

We finally have the third installment in what people are calling 'the saga' or as just like to call it series. After the furst two arguably classic films (and i cannot stress the word arguably enough here) could this one match if not better the other two? The answer in my book is easily a 'yes', yes it can.

To catch you up to speed here the story basically centers itself around the love triangle of Bella (pasty chick), Edward (even pastier dude), and Jacob (always, and i mean always shirtless dude) and all the awkwardness that comes with being teens and sexy as shit (yea i said it, sue me!). All the whiles theres the ethical and moral decisions over whether Bella should become a vampire, the growing army of vampires coming to kill her, and the uneasy truce between vampire and werewolfves to ensure their survival! Woah let me just take a breath there for one second. It sounds like there is alot going on in this film, and in a sense there is. But it never feels like any of these are being thrown at you all at once, in fact the film is paced out pretty decently. Though towards the end it would've been a bit sicker if they had chucked in like at least 5 more minute of action in there.

Which leads me to the next point of the action and graphics. Word on the street is that this film has alot more action than the last two, and i can personally a test to this. The action in this flm is pretty kool and is able to find a nice balance between being sorta PGish while still retaining a sense of action from a horror movie. If you don't know what i'm saying look up director David Slade's last film 30 days of night (one of mah favourites, just like Tupac's changes, FEEL MEH!) and you'll get a good feel for what i'm talking about. The graphics in the film have less of the really really fake feel and just kinda look kool, the wolves especially look alot less Ice Age like. Overall a lot better than the last film.

Alrite lets get down to what we all wana hear. First and foremost Kirsten Stewart (or as i now wana call her 'Pasty Flanni') is back and man is she somehow prettier than before. In between the last film and this one i got kinda ceebs for Stewart's whole awkward pastiness goin on. But now with watching this film it seems i'm right back in the thick of it. Here shes considerable less stiff (theres a seedy joke in there somewhere) and alot more loose. Though i'm using this quite liberally as shes still got that whole awkward delivery goin on where she seems to say the beginning of a sentence really slow and then does a really fast rush at the end. They've also seemed to have given her flannis only in the brown to grey colour spectrum, needless to say i was diggin it hard!

Robert Pattinson is back as Edward Cullen. I duno, nothing has really dramatically changed here, his more or less the same as before. But now they've seemed to taken away the petticoat steez he had in the first film and manly suit shit he had in the second film and only given him flannis, 'V' necks, and generic shirts and tight jeans. For some reason also they've given him a really 'just born' sheen, where his always kinda like wide eyed (even when squinting) and shining in the sunlight, as drake says "and all the girls that play me eat yo muthafuckin hearts out its drizzzzyyy).

Taylor Laurant is Jacob, or should i say shirtless. The way i see it is that you can kinda tell the immediacy of any danger in the film to how much clothing he is wearing. That is to say for the film for about 90% of the film he is shirtless and leaning on shit (i'm not even exaggerating this number either, i swear!).

What made this considerably better was that a couple of days later i re-watched New Moon for the first time, and i have to say this one is quite a bit better. Obviously it seemed inevitable that i would like this movie, though it seems funny that for any movie series that the third film would be the best film (actually in the history of movies i think that this is the only time this is the case). It seems like a cliche to say that i will receive shit for liking this film, but hey i probably will. So BIGS UP Twilight saga, you have successfully been able to live up to my expectations while still probably being unable to convert more people to your mystical charm!

Last installment here we come! COMEHITHIS!!


P.S. if you don't intend in watching any of these films just watch this video to sum it all up for you.
