Your already judging it simply because of the name.

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2010)

Eclipse is good. It's not great, it's not life changing relax, it's just a standard good film.
Obviously the budget's are getting bigger, therefore there are better stuns, better camera angles, better substance, and much better special effects.
The music is also a plus. And this film does something different and adds small character back stories (which were in the books) to the film. However since back stories from the twilight novel were cut from the twilight movie I didn't expect the film eclipse to add them in. But they did which was a very pleasant surprise and added something very new to the saga that none of its predecessors had done.
The movies are getting better. Each movie is developing, the acting is developing on everyone's part except for Taylor Lautner who was very dry in some scenes, weak in others, and then passed in a few. Stewart and Pattinson are getting better significantly with each film. Their chemistry is also very noticeable this time around.
Screenplay is the most highly developed element. Had the screenplay for the other films been written with this quality then maybe people wouldn't hate the saga simply because of its name and status in today's pop-cultural society. Close-mindedness is stopping a lot of people from admitting even the small things they do like about the film because they don't want to admit that they enjoyed it and fall into the crowd. swallow your pride and watch the film damn it.
Don't be an asshole. There are a lot of people I know who've read the books and enjoyed them but simply stopped liking them because it became a "teen-phenomenon" and are now closet appreciators or have denounced it completely and think its total garbage. What's there to be ashamed of? Top 2 reasons why people stopped liking the twilight saga.
1. The movies killed it. 2. "Its all the rage".
1. I understand, the first movie was completely ridiculous, but why that changed the way you feel about the book I don't get its not the author's fault people can't act or direct or manage to write a screenplay that depicts the depth to the novels (because there is a depth to the novels, I'll get to that later). She's not a terrible author. She's obviously a newbie. Did she know the books would get that big? Nope. So? Why are you bitching now? You read and bought the entire series but now that people think its gay your following suit? I had no problem admitting that the first movie completely let me down because it twisted the words that I read and displayed something that had no effort or heart. Not only that, it was so bad that I felt embarrassed. Embarrassed to say that I was looking for depth in something so melodramatic and shallow. And too embarrassed to admit that I'd been looking forward to see the film. But that didn't make me forget what I read or what I was hoping to see
2. There has always been depth to these novels. The thing about this series that's interesting is trying to figure out what Bella will do. It's a choice that all teenagers face to some degree. If you go this way, the outcomes are irreversible, if you go that way, the outcomes are still irreversible. That's the beauty of being a teenager, you steadily learn that life is based on your choice. And having the power of choice will always be overwhelming but its so much more magnified when your a teenager. But what's tragic for Bella is that she's not in a situation to test out option A and head towards option B if it doesn't work out. But Bella isn't lost she acknowledges her wants, she knows the risks and is willing to take them. This courage she has to follow her want and not the "easy" life that would appease the essential people that surround her is inspiring, because most are too afraid to take the such risks. But that doesn't make the "what if's" in her head rest in peace. The "what if's" will always be there -Jacob; the life she could have had with Jacob and what she feels for Jacob will always be significant- but, why live in a life being something you're not when you've got the opportunity of being who you honestly are?
I don't like how some say that the series give teenagers the wrong idea. What's so wrong here? Is the sexual tension wrong? Because I think people should start listening/reading the word's correctly. In this age/era/generation, sex is profited on. To me, women are being degraded, exploited, and are thinking less of themselves. Meyer took a leap of adding principle to his character. Edward made a tired tradition new again (at least for Bella), he made a big step in a girl's life (that is taken for granted now) beautiful again, he made sex seem "important" again. That it's not something you do to feel, its a stronger emotional bond that a relationship develops to experience. He did something that teenage girls have stopped doing for themselves; he respected Bella. And from that grew Bella's self-respect. Yes, I understand it is a hackneyed idea in this generation for a reason, but it would be nice if some of the self-respect teenagers had would come back, or at least be taught to them. It was that standard that made it so much more clear how precious Bella is to Edward. This is part of his appeal. Yes, he's a vampire, yes he's got the edge, yes he's the got looks, yes he's the got lines, but he's got something greater, he has the genuine qualities that a man should have; respectfulness, loyalty, integrity, and principle. What's the wrong message there? Isn't is a good thing to fight towards keeping a person like that in your life?
