A masterpiece considering the lack of story and idea

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2010)

We all know what Twilight is all about - it's a fiction novel written by a woman with no talent or writing abilities.
Still, the new Twilight movie was made as good as it was possible considering the fact that the book is unworthy of reading, let alone ecranisation.
The plot is very well paced, not too fast, nor too slow, although there are the usual pathetic one-on-one scenes that drag. Eclipse joins other Twilight movies in being visually beautiful, with gorgeous scenery and 'burned' colors. The soundtrack is also well done, maybe I missed more indie rock since instrumental and classical pieces prevailed.
Acting, well... I didn't expect much anyway. But there was one actor that simply amazed me with his lack of talent, playing his role like he was found that day on the street and was paid 100$ to take part of - Jacob. Yes, Taylor Lautner does not know how to act to save his life. Apart from taking his shirt off and looking like a child on horse steroids, he managed to ruin every scene he was in, specially the scenes when his desperation and anger was suppose to erupt. I haven't noticed before how bad he was. Maybe it was due to the fact that in previous films he had no more than few lines in his scenes. Maybe it was due to the fact that his nudity distracted me. Anyway, he's very bad. Very.
Robert and Kirsten are usually numb, they are probably both bored and don't really try. Kirsten is a tad better than in the past few movies, she doesn't breathe as much and smiles here and there.
What is also new in Eclipse, was the amount of erotic/kissing scenes. Almost everyone was sucking the life out of each other as soon there was even the slightest chance.
There are a few very good humorous scenes, well done, with word plays or interesting situations.
Summa summarum, Eclipse is the best Twilight movie so far, with minimal amount of cheesy dialogues and unnecessary romantic scenes. I would even call it a masterpiece since I've read the books and know that their substance is lack of brain, talent or writing abilities. So yes, they have made it as good as they possibly could. It does not get better for Twilight than this.
All the negative reviews you will read, just ignore them. The Twilight franchise itself is not cinematography's peak accomplishment, but this is a good Twilight film. Do not expect Dark knight, but do not expect Dracula 3000 either.
