Teaser: The third movie in the Twilight Saga
Plot Summary: Bella (Kristen Stewart) is about to graduate from high school and she must choose between her love for vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) and her friendship with werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner). To complicate the situation there are a series of murders happening in Seattle, that have gone unexplained. Bella is still being hunted by a revenge filled vampire and the vampires and werewolves must come to together to save Bella. And Bella must make the toughest decision of her life.
Critical Evaluation: Twilight fans will not be disappointed with this book adaptation. The movie is intense as Bella is being hunted by a revengeful vampire. Most viewers will know what is going to happen because they have read the books, but if you are one of the few who have not read the books, then you are in for a suspenseful ride. Kristen Stewart does some believable acting as she struggles to make a decision: Edward or Jacob. If you have watched the first two movies then Bella's decision is fairly predictable. The one thing that I was disappointed in, was the fact that Bella is not a strong female character, she needs to be rescued all the time, but that might be the appeal to some girls, that Bella has not only one but two knights in shining armor.
Director Information: According to Internet Movie Database David Slade was born on September 26, 1969 in the UK. He has directed many music videos for bands such as System of a Down, POD, Stone Temple Pilots and 3 Colours Red. He has directed 13 movies/tv shows, including The Last Voyage of Demeter, Meat Dog: What's fer Dinner, Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Hard Candy, and Making the Video to name a few.
Genre: Teen Movie/Vampire Romance/Fantasty
Curriculum Ties: N/A
Booktalking Ideas: Compare movie and book.
Reading Level/Interest Age: 13+
Challenge Issues: PG-13 rating. If this movie was challenged I would go to, ALA's Strategies and Tips for Dealing with Challenges to Library Materials.
Why included? The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer is one of the most popular series published and the movie is no different. It has made millions of dollars at the box office and I wanted to see what all the teens were swooning over.
