Overall cheesy-one-line dialogue combined with bad acting

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2011)

I'm neither a fan nor a hater of Meyer's Twillight books. There might have been a way of making a good film adaption of the books-with a decent script and good actors.
But Eclipse failed on both. It was truly painful and embarrassing to watch. The dialogue consisted mostly of stilted superficial one liners-there wasn't any depth or credibility to the whole love story at all.
Which brings up the point of bad acting. The main characters were extremely tedious and lacked personality and credibility. Which is partly due of the poor script and dialogue but also due to bad acting of the lead actors. They can't bring their characters to life or deliver their lines-Stewart looks emotionless and wooden-so does Pattinson (at least he has the excuse that he is supposed to be dead).
The film's focus is on the romance between Bella, Edward (the vampire) and Jakob (the werewolf)-due to the poor script and bad acting the whole thing comes across as emotionless and superficial. Just an addition of superficial events.
Not recommended.
