what movie did these people see?

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2010)

I was pretty confused last night when I got home from a midnight premiere of this film to see many comments on it from people who very obviously hadn't actually seen the movie. People calling it a romantic comedy? Either they're just trying to find a 'totally hilarious' way to be condescending towards a twilight movie, or they obviously didn't see the correct movie.
I thought Eclipse was easily the best installment in the saga so far. I've read the books, and seen all the movies, and this movie definitely had it's differences from the book, but David Slade's portrayal of everything in the book was magnificent. This book, the darkest in the series, was easily seen in Slade's dark direction and great usage of Riley as a more intriguing character.
I also don't understand everyone's hatred for Robert Pattinson. He does amazing work as Edward. His facial expressions to his body movements compliment the character from the book very well. Kristen Stewart does a great job as Bella, better in this one than the rest. In New Moon she had a lot of makeup, which I didn't agree with, and luckily they fixed that in this one.
The soundtrack to this film was incredible and I'm glad to see they did away with the dreary soap opera piano from New Moon.
Another thing people keep crying about is Taylor Lautner, and one commenter said that he didn't like how angry he was every time. I understand watching the movie without reading the book, but I thought the story itself would help a viewer understand that Jacob's character should be angry. One, he's doing something against his will (stated in New Moon and in this film) and he's dealing with Bella being with Edward and not him. It's pretty obvious to me this character would be conflicted, and Taylor does a great job showing it. And that guy is definitely still working out because it looked like he added another half-inch to his arms. Bravo to that guy.
This movie was great, 10/10 for direction, acting, soundtrack, and even the cinematography. It was all great and I enjoyed every second of this film.
-also, Taylor and Robert's anger towards each other in the movie is incredible. They did a great job working with each other in this one. Much better than New Moon's.
