The best chapter in the "Saga"

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2010)

This saga of vampire movies finally realizes it's potential in the hands of Slade as Eclipse is truly good in it's own right. It's still got the love triangle, it still has some groan inducing dialogue (sprinkled in with some light hearted moments), but what's gone is the doom, gloom, and downright depression that plagued all of "New Moon". We've got a marriage on the way, but a group of new-bloods threaten to take over a city. However, we've got alliances that are forged and pacts that are made.
I really can't single out any actor or actress since they are all average at best, but collectively, the ensemble cast works fine. I actually did enjoy Dakota Fanning and her legion, who basically looked on ominously in the distance, waiting for their a reason to strike. This bodes well for Breaking Dawn, which I hope puts the series out with a bang, because Eclipse sure set the stage for it.
