Eclipse disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (26 July 2010)

I eagerly awaited Eclipse only to be very disappointed. It has lost the essence of the book and vampires. The love between Bella and Edward is watered down. She chooses Edward over Jacob because she loves him more and can't live without him. Thats why she wants to become a vampire. This does not come across in the film. We get the impression she wants to marry Edward so she can become a vampire. Kristen Stewart does not seem able to portray the emotional journey of Bella. The new Vctoria looks like a refugee from 'Bewitched' with a bad wig. The fight scenes are bloodless and gutless (vampires breaking like marble figures). This might just as well have been a Disney film it was so 'child friendly'! The only things worth watching were Robert Pattinson, the CGI wolves, and the scenery! I hope the next film in the series does better.
