My eyes have disconnected from the optical nerves from rolling so hard at every line of dialogue.

"Much like with its reliance on overly tight close-up shots, though, Eclipse has a bad habit of spoon-feeding its audience."

It's better than New Moon (because something actually happens), but both Jacob and Edward are insufferable and Bella's decision to become a vampire remains irrational. Janky FX, not enough Dallas Howard and bad wigs sink the ship. Slade is on autopilot

This melodrama of monsters doubles as a metaphor for the characters’ sometimes supernatural ability to control their sexual desires. The rest of the plot is just filler.

[E]ssentially a detour of a plot, and my interest waned along with the film's decreased focus on the character relationships.

I wanted "terrible/AWESOME" and all we got was painfully terrible. I am upset.

Eclipse made me stabby when I read it... the movie version was only mildly less stupid.

Not terrible/awesome like the first two films, which I really enjoyed. This was just plain terrible.

Eclipse was cool and entertaining, once you got over the whole 'how the hell did this totally masochistic love affair become a worldwide phenomenon' thing.

Nobody goes to these movies because they're well-written, or well acted. We go because Kristen Stewart looks good in a hoodie.

How anyone was Team Jacob after this one is beyond me. Eclipse lacks so much of the charm I felt from the first instalment but for fans and haters alike, it's a fun ride

Eclipse isn't going to be movie that will lure you into the fold. You will enjoy it though, I'm moderately certain of that.

Eclipse is a film for a target audience and this one hits the bullseye.

Director David Slade does his best, but the material follows such a rigid and generic formula that there is no room for him to bring any kind of personality to it.

Eclipse may be the best of the three Twilight films, but that's almost like saying that being knee deep in bird excrement is better than being knee deep in rat excrement.

Eclipse is a movie about rejecting adulthood, not just as a person but also as a culture. It's about never crossing boundaries, never leaving home.
