Fan Reviews of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

eclipse

i wish the makeup people would restrain themselves when making up robert pattinsons exquisite face. he was chalk white with yeallow cat eyes and that made him look like a clown. a far cry from the beautiful edward in twilight - shame on you slade!

  Eclipse | 12.20.10 10:56:15 PM

  The last two movies totally did not capture the emotions the book portrays. Two sum them up in one word I'd have to say...disappointing.. I loved the first movie it made me feel the way the book did. The last two movies focus too much on the visual and not the actual story. I like the cast but I think the director or the person writing the screen plays is the problem. It's like they did not even read the books..or they did and misunderstood them. A lot of the lines in the movie come off as a mockary to the books. Catherine H. did a much better job on the first movie. Message to summit: Please don't do twilight fans an injustice by just thinking about making money. Try to do a good job with these movies. Take more time to get them right and make sure the classic scenes in the book are properly conveyed.

Boring

I agree with a couple of other people that they totally missed the boat on this film. They wasted too much time trying to hype up the "new vampire army" and not enough time with the intense dialogue between Bella, Jacob and Edward. It was sooooo slow to get started and then it just jumped from place to place. They focused on action and just tossed in a couple of sexy scenes but there was no romance to make it believable. I felt no connection between the characters. They did a lot of things I liked, but I don't even have time to list all that was wrong with this movie. Don't get me wrong, I've read all of the books 3 times and own both the Twilight and New Moon movies and have watched them repeatedly. I even went to the Midnight opening of Eclipse, but it was so bad, I'm not sure I'll even buy a copy.

  I completely 100 % agree with you...the first film I thought only added to the book instead of letting it down...and i loved the 2nd film as well...they both managed to capture the essence of the books and i enjoy watching them over and over again...but eclipse...oh god...this film has ruined the legacy :(

My Thought

If you have read the Twilight series books, you are bound to leave the any of movies feeling a bit disappointed. The movies have really failed to capture what readers of the Twilight series love best, the relationship between Bella and Edward. In Eclipse, the intensity of Bella's love for Edward isn't there - we know from the books, that Bella can get dizzy simply from Edward's kiss. You just don't get that sense in the film. Edward is much more possessive of Bella than the film portrays, and stronger in his actions (restraining her at times!). Perhaps the screenwriter doesn't believe this will transfer well to the film version, but for readers of the books, this is what the films are missing. Many of the most memorable scenes in the book are rushed in the film. On the positive side, the scenes with the wolves are nicely done. The fight scene was great - very close to the visual I had when reading it! I personally like Rob, Kristen and Jacob in the roles the have been cast with. They look the part to me, and they do a nice job with the dialogue they are given to work with.
Bottom line: definitely worth seeing.
Message to Summit: you're not going to fail with these movies - the fans will go see them no matter what! However, you can give movie goers a more memorable experience by focusing on what attracted the huge fan base to begin with - Edward and Bella and their intense relationship!

Eclipse review

I thought the movie followed the book very well. I just didn't have that same old warm and fuzzy feeling I did after watching New Moon. Or reading any of the books for that matter. The action was there in this one, but I did not feel the same chemistry between Bella and Edward as I did on the first 2 movies. To me, that chemistry makes it real and exciting and keeps me wanting more.

Eclipse

Just been to see Eclipse. It was excellent and by far the best. They kept closer to the book on this one and although things were missed out the story remained true to the book. Twilight fans who cheat and only see the films....shame on you!! You need to read those books. I am definately going to see it at least another once at the pictures. Casting of the new characters was good but I was disappointed they recast Victoria. Hope they don't recast anyone else..it ruins it a bit.
Breaking Dawn should definately be done in 2 films so that they can get EVERYTHING....that's EVERYTHING in plzzzzzzzzz!!
Anyone wondering if they should go and see Eclipse.....DO!!!

AMAZING

I went to see eclipse yesturday in the UK the late night viewing and it was amazing I loved the love tringle they didn't leave anything out and they said a lot of the words from the book and when Bella punched Jacob that was good and funny the same time i liked the big fight and i love Edward how he stayied with Bella to keep her protected i would love someone like Edward and Jacob get on my nerves at times he says he doesn't what to talk to Bella then he does stupid. They fall out again in breaking dawn i can't wait for that one. ECLIPSE BEST FILM EVER

Eclipse review from knoxville

Hey there, my name is Kristin I am a happily married woman with two adorable young children, & did I mention a die-hard twilight, team Edward fan!!! I LOVED the movie, but honestly I was a teeny tiny bit dissapointed. I feel like this movie was missing a little on the lovey dovey stuff. Which was replaced by action, but I missed it!! I feel like there wasn't enough of Bella & Jacob's relationship on screne. To show how hard her choice was. & the kiss scene between them defantley wasn't long enough!!! But I still LOVED the movie, don't get me wrong. The fighting was AWSOME! And of coarse Edward was too!!! Go team edward!!! I loved the scene where he actually gives her the ring, that was my favorite part. I can't wait to see the next two moives when the actually get married!
