10/10
Very similar to the book

Let's admit it, Twilight Saga has been weaved into our POP culture and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether you're a big fan or just a trash talker, it's here to stay just like the boy bands of the early 90's. And it still puzzles me every time I read a negative review from someone who has seen the previous movies, really??? were you hoping that this time Eclipse detoured it's way from the teenage love triangle to a mature well developed flick? I hope those people like disappointments...

I was disappointed in New Moon, so I was a little apprehensive to watch Eclipse. But I was wrong, David Slade did an amazing job regardless of what others say. I thought New Moon dragged on for most of the movie and peaked towards the end. Eclipse had me at the edge of my seat, 2 hrs went by quick and left me wanting more. The writers stayed really close to the book which I really appreciated. Taylor's acting got better and looked more natural, I can see that he has morphed into Jacob's character. Kristen Stewart still needs a little bit more emotion, I still don't think she has quite captured Bella's character yet. Bella is complex, emotional and dramatic; and I don't get that from Kristen. She brings a lot of her own into Bella, very black and white. I hope to see some improvement in Breaking Dawn.

So far, Eclipse is my favorite out of the 3. They incorporated most of the important scenes from the book into the film. I enjoyed the battle scene with the Newborns specially the porcelain sound effects every time they were dismembered. It's the little details in the movie that makes it my favorite so far.
