Expectations.

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2010)

For the true die-hard fans, the film did it's best to live up to the novel. In fact, it did a pretty good job. If you've seen the previous two movies in the saga you cannot deny the fact that the acting has improved a great deal. And if you had set your expectations very high before watching the movie, then you shouldn't have. What did you expect it to be like? After all, this is a teenage movie about vampires. There is credit to be given for the action sequences, the script ( in most parts ) and the intensity of each love triangle scene. Well done to Pattinson and Lautner. Eclipse is everything I had imagined it to be while reading the book. ( With the exception of 'ice' that had replaced my vision of a bloody battle in the action sequence ) otherwise, it stayed pretty true to the story and is a solid build up for the next two installments. Surely, a movie raking in more than 100million internationally in its first opening week deserves something a little more than a 4.5 out of 10.
