The Films So Far
When it comes to rating the first three movies in the Twilight saga, we all have our personal favorite. The box office is partial to New Moon, with Eclipse following closely behind. And depending on whether you consider yourself part of Team Edward or Team Jacob may determine which movie you pick as your favorite. We’ve attempted to come up with our analysis of the films up to this point and have ranked them accordingly.Though it was a tough call since we love every one, bringing home the gold is…Eclipse. The scale and quality of production seems to have improved with each new film, with the most recent being leaps and bounds beyond what appeared to be a low-budget independent work in the first movie. Eclipse also had the best balance of the two leading men. While Twilight was dominated by Edward and New Moon focused on Jacob, Eclipse kept them both in the lime light and we even enjoyed some competitive banter between the two. Though New Moon had the best box office performance, Eclipse wasn’t far behind.In our humble opinion, second place belongs to Twilight. For many, this is a surprising rank considering box office numbers and production figures. However, though it was lower quality than we would have liked, the first movie exposes the heart of the story and has one of the most gripping scenes of the series so far, as Edward rescues Bella from the horrific death James attempts to bestow upon her. Perhaps it’s a special connection we Twilight fans feel with this original book that first captured our hearts. (more…)
