Eclipse Review ! NO SPOILERS. Pictures+Video

WARNING. I will NOT include ANY spoilers BUT some of the things i include in the review you might consider it as a spoiler. Read at your own risk.

I arrived at the theater here in Miami to see Eclipse at midnight at 9pm. I thought the lines were not going to be LONG since it was early but to my surprise it was three times what it was last year. As midnight approached the line became longer and longer. The theater was inside the mall in the third floor , some people were waiting since the morning and the line was all the way down to the second floor, yeah it was that long. I heard that in some theaters they had to close down all the rooms and OPEN them all ONLY for ECLIPSE. Im going to break down the review per character and scenes that you guys were dying to see. OF COURSE, NO SPOILERS. If you want any ,DM in twitter (@RobstenWorld)

Edward Cullen - Robert Pattinson : Edward was the same as in Twilight and New Moon but more passionate. Robert Pattinson really did an amazing job, he gets better and better ladies ;) ahaha! His kisses with Bella were MORE INTENSE! ALOT MORE ;) and he seemed to care about Bella's feelings for Jacob. You guys might know this because you guys read the book.

Bella Swan - Kristen Stewart - Bella was stronger in this movie , like she showed Edward that as much as she loved him she also cared for her best friend. Kristen did an amazing job portraying Bella as someone who had grown and had decided what she wanted.

Jacob Black - Taylor Lautner - Eh, well. Taylor he is still without a shirt most of the movie. He comes out in most of the movie and whenever Edward and Bella were having a moment he would appear UGH! LOL! BUT i must say the kid has talent and if it wasn't for all the TEAM JACOB girls who annoy me i might even like him a little bit :P

The Cullens:I loved how they portrayed  the family this time. So close and working to save Bella. The part were Rosalie talks with Bella (You guys saw it in the trailers) showed us another side of Rosalie and Nikki did do a good job. She tried to be tough with Bella but still showed that she cared about her by telling her that becoming a vampire was not the best idea. Jasper was amazing, so funny! During the fighting scenes (i will talk about it later) he would joke around with Emmett ALOT! and those were the funniest moments in the movie. The Cullens were AMAZING in this movie. I won't say more :P

The Werewolves: All i can say , is that they were more REAL this time. I can't say more because then i'll spoil it for you guys. The way they decided to work with the Cullens and how they interacted was great. David Slade did a good job with those scenes & the rest of the movie too ;)

Fighting Scenes: I mentioned that this year there were more GUYS watching the movie and of course , it's because the fighting scenes were INTENSE! I loved them. The werewolves and vampires working together was great !

Leg Hitch Scene : OMG! This scene was HOT! The kiss was INTENSE. I won't say NO MORE. Watch it ;)

Proposal: Beautiful...Beautiful..! So sweet. Robert and Kristen made it look so real. I was in tears when i was watching!

Tent Scene : The scene was hilarious at the beginning and then when Edward and Jacob started talking it was sweet. These two guys need to get over their feud, they would make great friends... :P ahah!

Jacob and Bella Kisses: The first kiss was whatever , he barely touched her lips BUT the second one was different. I wont say how, again , i don't want to spoil it. I was mad when i saw it BUT then i saw Edward and the things he told her and i was like awhe<3. So , don't be too mad when you see it!

Bellas hair : The wig was not bad. In some scenes people would ask each other "Is that a wig?" Because it was obvious. BUT, it was not as bad as i thought it would be!

Over all, the movie was the BEST out of all three. Better Edward and Bella Kisses , the fighting was without doubt THE BEST! So GOOD! and it was some how funnier too!  Those who saw it , what did YOU think?

EONLINE! is going to be LIVE streaming on June 24th

The big week is finally here! The Twilight Saga: Eclipse premieres this Thursday June 24. Scream! What will Kristen Stewart wear? Will she and Robert Pattinson interact? Hold hands? (HOPE SO !)Exchange knowing eyes? Will Taylor Lautner's smile be whiter than ever?! (lmao, i can't stop laughing !)
