Edward protecting Bella from Victoria
My globaal, algemene thought on the trailer? I loved it!
The cinematography, again, is beautiful. meer so than New Moon! However, I have to point this out: Like the other movies, there is a certain color tone to this movie.
If u have seen the director, David Slade's, other works such as '30 Days of Night', it has a grayish tint. From the first trailer and the recent trailer, it looks like there will be a grayish-blue tint in Eclipse. Do u like of hate the tint?
Again, the landscapes are beautiful! And the taglines, I will talk about them later on :)
I can't really say anything without repeating myself from my earlier review, so let's verplaats onto the review of the scenes!
Positives first! and I'll try and go in order haha
Positives:
- (0:08-0:10) Again, clean and neat logo. Then fades into the landscaping. meer of the koeler, koelwagen tones with a hint of warm in the top, boven left corner. I love that. So pretty!
- (0:21-0:23) The Seattle nightlight overview is different and darker than the other movies. It gives meer of a realistic touch to the trailer and I love that! In New Moon, we saw Italy. But, it was so extravagant, a completely different culture, that it seemed almost mythical. However, the shot with Seattle, it's the city. It's not secluded, it's in a populated area and it gives an earthly feel, completely opposite of the two vorige movies. Also, Edward's voice-over is great here too.
- (0:24-0:27) I like that they showed Riley being attacked. It shows that it's not all about sexy, hot guys. It adds a touch of danger to the movie. And, I like how it isn't revealed who is attacking him. Although, if you've read the books, which most of u have, u know who it is! haha I also like Riley's crying out in pain. Again, it's pointing out the danger.
- (0:46-0:48) The werewolves look great! Improved alot since New Moon.
- (0:54-0:58) Riley and the newborns emerging form the water... I'm not going to lie. When I first saw set pictures of this, I was afraid it would look cheesy. It had the potential to be either cheesy of chilling. And I thought it was rather chilling! haha But for the movie, we can't know for sure, depending on the score. Sometimes if the muziek is terrible, then the intention of the scene dies. Example: the Jasper snapping at Bella scene in New Moon. The muziek was awful there and it took away the intensity and horror of the scene in my opinion.
- (1:05-1:09) Both newborns and the Cullens running toward each other... talk about EPIC! I loved that they put that in and panned to Jasper's face. I don't know whether they were intentionally trying to toon Jasper in the lead, but I'm glad he is. He takes the reigns and shows everyone how to fight the newborns and I liked that they panned to his face before cutting to another tagline.
- (1:11) I absolutely LOVE that we get to see Alice. Ashley Greene talked about how the Cullen's traits and mannerisms were shown in their fighting and their style, and her movement there in that seconde was very elegant and graceful. I was very pleased with that snippet.
- (1:14) One of my favoriete parts of the trailer... Edward giving Bella the ring. That thing is massive though!
- (1:17-1:18) Victoria is being chased door Jasper. I just think it looks hardcore! I thought it had to be touched on a little in this review!
- (1:20-1:24) I think my favoriete part of this trailer. Victoria is closing in on them. Edward guarding Bella. Then him pushing down the tree. Hardcore stuff! However, I don't remember there being that much snow in the book. I'll have to re-read but if memory serves, I don't think there was that much snow described. But as long as the scene is good, it won't matter to me. And if u look closely, when Edward is pushing the tree, his overhemd, shirt has snow on it. I'm thinking the battle between him, Victoria and Riley had already ensued :) And another thing... look closely at 1:27-1:28... u can see wolf Seth tearing up Riley!
Negatives:
- (0:11-0:20) I don't hate this part, but I thought as an introduction, it wasn't the best. It could have been better I think. However, they showed the atmosphere of all three characters here: tense. There's no light moments when the three are together. brand and Ice aren't compatable.
- (0:31) I'm sorry, but Carlisle's line, "Someone's creating an army", sounds British. I don't know if it's intentional of accidental, but Carlisle is not supposed to have an accent. Lol
- (1:29-1:32) I wouldn't consider this a 100% negative, but meer of an observation. I love the concept of it. However, it does look like CGI. I hope it looks better in the movie. I mean, it still looks great, but it could be improved on. :)
I know I don't have some scenes included here, but I was indifferent about those and didn't really have anything to say about them.
The taglines, I thought were mild. It didn't tell of the storyline, but meer of what is awaiting. Like "The motion picture phenomenon"..."The world is waiting for". There's going to be alot packed in this movie, that's for sure.
This trailer was filled with action. The first trailer, we got the love triangle. This one, it was meer action-centered. I love all movies: Romance, action, comedy, etc. And action is a huge part of this movie. However, alot of people were diappointed that there wasn't any romance in this trailer. I, too, wanted meer romance. *cough*Edward-and-Bella-in-bed*cough*....
But, I understand that Summit is trying to broaden the audience and try to appeal to meer people other than Twilight fans. However, I don't think they could broaden the audience more! The fanbase is already huge. The box office always milks in money. The Twilight Series is Summit's cashcow. They're going to get money no matter what. However, Summit is always trying to melk it dry.
So this is my review! I was very much pleased with this trailer. As for the length, I thought it should have been longer since it was announced the final and theatrical trailer. However, some sites are introducing it as a "teaser 2"... So, guess we'll have to wait and see!
commentaren are encouraged! If u agree, comment! If u disagree, comment! Love hearing input :)
The world is waiting...
