Not for anyone who doesn't already know the script by heart

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2010)

It's obvious I'm biased, but then again who isn't? I'm a die-hard fan and I've known plenty of fellow twi-hards and certainly a great number of twi-haters, am related to some of them too. Frankly, I know this movie doesn't deserve anywhere near a seven, but I'm a fan, so in my eyes, anything with 'The Twilight Saga' attached to it would be worth a perfect score. So it's all about preferences.
The bottom line is, if you've hated the previous movies, if you're disgusted with the whole franchise, if you've got a thing against tame, fang-less and sparkly vampires, don't watch it. You should probably be hailing 'Vampires Suck'. This movie is NOT for anyone whose idea of a good movie is a bad ass hero, a spunky heroine, and lots of blood, action and gore.
Let's face it twi-hards, Edward isn't going to come up to scratch if you're looking for a bad boy; and I love Bella, I do, but she's not gonna be shooting any mean vamp through the heart or taking anyone's head off. In fact, she's an almost perfect damsel in distress, the only thing that saved her from being coined that, is the suicidal move of slashing her wrist (therefore saving Edward's life).
But if you're one of us, if you're a dedicated fan who is more than willing to overlook any possible flaw, go right ahead. If all you're looking for is a good time screaming for Edward, or Jacob, or Bella, and enjoying the camaraderie between Twi-hards, Eclipse will probably be the best movie you've ever watched, because in my opinion, it's definitely better than Twilight or New Moon.
Stewert and Pattinson still have the same problem of talking too slowly and pausing too much and too long, it would have put anyone but a loyal twi-hard who's mouthing the words along with them to sleep. Honestly, I don't see much chemistry between the leads, although I must say Rathbone and Greene were sweet during the practice-fight scene.
Anyone who is not a fan, will find this movie a bore, a waste of time and money, and quite possible a cure for insomnia. Although, as a fan, I feel that it's my duty to say that a certain redeeming part of the film was that the opening with Xavier Samuel was adequate and the ambiance was definitely less dull and sleep-inducing as compared to that of Twilight and New Moon.
