Cease the hate - best film in the Twilight Saga by far.

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2010)

Humans are conformists. Why does this film receive such hate and so many unwelcome reviews when it is by far the most efficiently, effectively and excitingly produced addition to the Twilight Saga so far? Because it is thought - stereotyped, even - that a Twilight movie would obviously be poorly constructed and would not adhere to the expectations fans hold of the best-selling novel/film. This ignorance and lack of appreciation for artistic talent is saddening. I must admit that I was displeased with Meyer's poor use of imagery when writing Eclipse, as moments including Charlie and Bella's awkward "talk" about her physical intimacy, the Quileutes traditional campfire tales and the ultimate fight between the Newborns and the Vampires/Werewolves were all horribly illustrated in the book, but perfectly depicted in the film, providing action, excitement and gore which had been unfortunately absent in the first two productions - well done David Slade! Eclipse is a quality production, goes hand in hand with the reminiscent, dreamy prose of the novel and offers moments of comic relief to aid the dark plot. The Twilight Phenomenon undoubtedly gains popularity by the hour, and, after viewing Eclipse, I can so clearly understand why. Let's face it, everyone has a soft spot for the films, the books, the addictive, compelling interest that is Twilight - even those of you who critique the series enjoy the prospect of attending the films, reading the books, and to a further extent, posting negative reviews! Don't conform; cease the hate and appreciate the art.
