Too much whining, and not enough plot, very disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2010)

I have to say that with Eclipse, the third chapter of the Twilight Saga, is unfortunately lacking in plot.
At the beginning there is obvious foreshadowing for the end, and there is no deviation from that. The action scenes are well done, but there are few surprises in the very linear plot.
I do have to say that the acting has gotten better from all parties involved, especially Kristen Stewart when you compare this to her first Twilight performance.
My main problem with this film, is the problem that I've had with the saga as a whole is that two characters pining over each other, (or even a love triangle) has no impact when there is no conflict.
Also, this is the most bloodless vampire movie I have ever seen. It's sad that Stephanie Myers was able to take a concept as cool as the Vampire, and make them seem so lame.
**Spoiler**
Bella heads straight down the path that she has chosen, she shows no true conflict, which could have added more tension. You get the two guys who are competing for her, getting along, then you have taken anything that was interesting out of the plot, considering there was very little to start with, this is very disappointing.
In my opinion much of New Moon, and Eclipse could have been condensed into one film, and the plot would have been tighter, and probably create a much more impactful film.
