Acclaimed Film Critic, Richard Roeper, Applauds "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" In YouTube Exclusive [Spoiler Alert!]



Roeper Calls Third Installment “One of the Most Astonishing Upgrades in Movie Franchise History”

In a YouTube exclusive, renowned film critic and Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Richard Roeper, gives “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” an A- rating. After panning both 'Twilight' and 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon', Roeper designates the most recent chapter infinitely better.

“The first Twilight movie was mediocre and the second one was just laughable and melodramatic and over the top and ridiculous, so I didn’t have high expectations for this one,” said Roeper. “I have to say, this represents one of the most astonishing upgrades in movie franchise history.”

In his review, Roeper attributes this clear improvement, in part, to director, David Slade, and says all three leads raised their game, most notably, Kristen Stewart who’s character is more involved in this movie’s action.

“I can almost not believe I’m going to say this, but this is one of the better movies of the year,” adds Roeper. “It’s really well done, well directed, well acted, has great camera work and a terrific soundtrack.”
