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

I blame the music for at least half of my naps tonight.

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

| Jul 13, 2021

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.

What began as an enjoyably perverse fable of teen romance and chastity has dwindled, by this third instalment, into a sorry, soppy saga.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 23, 2010

Slade manages to pile on enough excitement, character development and believable emotion on top of it to deliver a far improved product compared to the first two films.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 13, 2010

Everything that could and should be elaborated at length to make for a convincing or even just passably trashy love story is glossed over here just as much as in the last two Twilight movies.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 8, 2010

More pouting, mumbling and gazing into the distance, mainly. But hey. NOBODY does it better than these guys.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2010

All three actors are comfortable with their characters, and Slade finds the right balance of action and romance; the story feels organic. Some of the dialogue is earnest and silly, but the core strength of the Stephenie Meyer novels is here: the battle be

"All I want is your protection," he says to Bella, firmly removing her hand from inside his shirt. "I'll protect you no matter what." Edward Cullen: the human condom.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 7, 2010

The biggest problem remains the characters: neither Slade nor Stewart are capable of turning manipulative whinger Bella into anything more than a joyless black hole sucking the life from every scene.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2010

By far the best Twilight film to date, Slade should satisfy the fan base while opening up the series to more sceptical viewers...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 6, 2010

When it comes to the things this brand is famous for -- angsty canoodling, ethereal rocking out, truckloads of male beauty, Duran Duran-style make-up and culturally savvy jokes -- Eclipse actually goes one better than the last offering.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2010

It's easy to knock the Twilightfilms, with their taste for cheesy special effects and teenage hyper-ventilation, but the feelings that course through them are honest enough -- just your average old-fashioned romantic-masochistic teen-dream rapture.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2010

In a universe where almost all CGI-laden, blood-spilling tentpole movies are aimed at ensnaring the teenage male, there's something to be said for a series of films aimed squarely -- and successfully -- at teenage girls.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2010

I can't pretend that the third episode instilled a fever in my blood, but it didn't leave me cold. For the first time in the series I felt I'd seen a real movie.

Full Review | Jul 1, 2010

Director David Slade ably takes over...demonstrating his own take on the key elements of the story, adolescent longing and primal physical confrontations.

| Original Score: B | Jul 1, 2010

In a rare moment of insight, the teenage but immortal vampires in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse complain about being "frozen" in their lives, unable to "move forward." So is everyone involved in this deathtrap of a franchise.
