The plot of the film is as follows: Victoria, returns to avenge the death of her mate and has created an army to do so, Bella blows off Edward’s marriage proposals (as any sane 18 year old should do), and Jacob is insistently pursuing Bella even though its kind of obvious she’s not going to leave Edward (dude, seriously, take a hint). The “action-packed” part of the film that the trailers keep touting lasts all of 5 minutes and under the direction of David Slade, its impossible to make any of it out. Bella is still a blubbering idiot who needs a man to tell her to do anything and is still incapable of thinking for herself. I understand that this is due to Stephanie Meyer’s awful books, but still, it makes for a ridiculously misogynistic film.
I was bored during the first half of the film, and thankful for the final fight scenes as I knew it would be ending soon. Kristen Stewart’s Bella stuttered and blinked less in this film than the previous two which improved the quality of her acting 10 fold. Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner brought the same passable performances in this film as the previous two. As much as I hate to say this, I even disliked Dakota Fanning’s Jane. She seemed as bored with the part as I felt watching the film. I have very low standards for films, all I ask for is that the film hold my attention for the time that I am watching it, so I don’t have to think about anything else for that period of time. If I am balancing my checkbook during your film, then you have failed. Eclipse failed.

Hated Eclipse, i was bored, i was embarressed and at one stage i thought i was watching a scene from bambi only the was a wolf. Bella is insiped, and clearly its Edward and Jacob that hold the film. In one word TERRIBLE
I thought the movie was awesome. The beginning was none stop. Edward and Jacob found a mutual respect. Bella is learning to take life on step at a time. I like how Jacob and Edward's families pulled together to save Bella. I look forward to the next Twilight.
