I quite enjoyed this, contrary to expectations.

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2010)

Don't get me wrong, I'm normally not even remotely interested in the Twilight series (I only saw the first two movies following the urging of peers), but the newest installment was great.
First off, the first two films were grossly overrated; filled with teenage angst and far too much serious, dreadfully boring romantic drama. As a guy, it was hard to appreciate the movies at all; even despite the attempt at drawing in a little more gratuitous violence in the second movie (which fell flat on its face because it was largely unconvincing and felt unnaturally forced).
Now, with the introduction of Slade as the director, we see the introduction of a little humor to the storyline ("Doesn't he have a shirt?" "Let's face it, I am hotter than you."), convincingly awesome action scenes, and far more interesting plot development on the Bella-Edward-Jacob love triangle.
Literally, things happened in this movie! I was honestly surprised by how much fun Eclipse was, and my friends, both male and female, are all in agreement; I could easily recommend it to guys and gals alike.
