Well, it's getting worse and worse.

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2010)

I can't believe with all the money they are making they keep on choosing bad productions for these movies. Eclipse is worse than New Moon in acting, soundtrack, special effects AND plot! (I didn't think it was gonna be possible, but I actually changed my opinion on New Moon and now I find it MUCH too good compared to this). The movie isn't awful, but it's totally emotionless and saves nothing of the Twilight atmosphere and the characters' personality. The only good scenes are DIRECTLY QUOTED from the book, so it's not even the director doing a good job. The book is my favorite of the saga, thus the movie was a huge disappointment. The plot is fractioned, there are these beautiful scenes from the book, but they aren't connected between each other. All that happens in-between is insignificant or just emptied of its emotional tension or value. The characters' personality is totally bent to fit in the plot less movie, Edward even appears as a villain in some scenes while in the book it's the absolute opposite. He's noble and always thinking of what's best for her, not a tyrant that tries to have it all and make it bad for Jacob. Once again this movie is UNWATCHABLE for one who hasn't read the book. I find the actors great, but the director wasn't even able to direct their performance to be as good as it can get. The only scenes that deserve to be watched are those with actual EMOTIONS in them, like in the tent, in the bedroom and in the meadow. The reason I give 5 to this movie is because it's not really BAD. Nothing is really awful in it. It's just NOT good. Plain and dull at times! What I appreciated was the humor that was finally let in, which didn't happen in the previous movies. In the books of the saga there are multiple jokes but only this time they seem to play a decent role, finally! The acting was inferior than the previous but still I find the cast brilliant, so I can't say it's a bad product overall. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are simply perfect. But for them, we have to thank the first director, certainly not this one!
I would recommend this only to people who love the books and aren't expecting too much, to all other people, save money and get yourself the books if you really want to give them a shot.
