Eclipse: Vampires and wolves and Bella Swan, oh my!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters today Wednesday, June 30, and it’s a total MUST see!

I was lucky enough to catch an exclusive screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and I have to say, I loved every minute of it. It was filled with the usual action and romance as Bella struggles between Jacob and Edward (and, oh yea, just trying to save herself from newborn vampires). Some old characters resurface, and new characters are introduced, and with all of this combined, the movie just gets better and better!

Bella for the first time admits to loving both Edward and Jacob (lucky girl!), but in the end chooses one dapper fella. I’m sure we can all guess who that is, right? While in the past two movies we saw the wolves and vamps as enemies, in this movie, the two groups unite to protect Bella, argue over Bella, fight for Bella, and even kiss Bella! The relationship between Jacob and Edward really develops in Eclipse, and you begin to love each guy more and more (even though I’m still totally on Team Jacob)!
As graduation slowly approaches, Bella has a tough decision to make—does she want to say goodbye to all of her loved ones (including Jacob) to be a vampire forever? Or, does she want to remain human. After getting to know Rosalie and Jasper Cullen and the nights that they were changed, Bella soon realizes that no one would chose to be a vampire on their own. Is she second-guessing her desire to become “one of them?”

The special effects in this movie were great too. The jumps looked higher, the running seemed faster, AND the wolves actually looked like wolves.  The effects really helped to further the action scenes, and forced you to the edge of your seat!

The battle between Jacob and Edward rages on…whose team are you on?!
