DS is my hero!
xoxo
peace, love,& twilight

Spot on…emotionless…miserable…she just frustrated me. This is the girl who's supposed to be 'dazzled' by Edward all the time. She just looked like she couldn't care less. When she came back to Edward after kissing jacob she should have looked heartbroken, in turmoil. She looked like she'd forgotten her car keys. Thank god for Rob, Taylor and the rest of the cast, turning in top notch performances, they obviously read the books and understood their characters. They are the reason I will keep watching this film.

hey, yeah melbourne is good, but its F*CKING FREEZING!! went to a couple of footy games so thats good (Y) i saw it again yesterday, and hoping to see it in IMAX while i’m over here liked it much better the second time, knowing what to expect. i still cant get over how hot that proposal scene was XD

I saw the movie on friday and def want to see it again. On the whole i think it is the best out of the 3 so far.
Rob was brilliant as Edward ! (not biased at all !)
The tent scene was really good – would have been better if they had put one final bit on the end of it where Edward unzips it making Jacob fall out – that would have got a few laughs.
The things i would nit pick over are

Bellas wig – not consistent
Riley getting his hands on Edward in the fight scene at the end – i wish they had stuck more to the book with this one
Bella needed to get more into the kissing scenes with Edward – she was totally not! (wonder whether its because Rob is getting some extra practice in with all the love scenes in his other films – hehehe!)
Felt like they cut one of the last scenes short – the one with Edwards reaction after bella kisses Jacob – might have made more sense if the had put the part in where Edward says 'and i thought i was playing dirty' when Jacob more or less blackmails her for the kiss – might have explained it better.
Like i said though, only nit picking it as no film will be an exact replica of the book , which is actually exactly what most of us want, we would only be happy if it was the same scene for scene word for word!
I def liked it though and think that DS did a surprisingly good job.

It's amazing isn't it? I swear in the first meadow scen I melted. And the leg hitch.. and just.. EVERYTHING! I saw someone get annoyed because of edwards eyebrows. Seriously, some people should not be allowed to watch book to film adaptations! hahaa .

Ok, this is my third comment– so many of you are saying how dissapointed you were in the movie how many of you understand the concept of adaption of a book? In alot of the comments it was mentioned about Reily and the newborns- well if you had read Stephanie Meyers book the “Second Short Life of Bree Tanner” you would understand why that was inserted in the movie. David, MR and the cast BDH all read the book before they made the movie- and if you had read the book you would understand why it was there, not only that but there were many-many quotes right out of Eclipse that were in the movie-

The cast has to follow the directions of the producers and directors. We are all entitled to our opionions but, I think that many of you have forgotten that it is hard to rewrite a book into a movie script– I realized that after Twlight I was very dissapointed in it I thought there could have been alot more invested in that movie but it really comes down to the producers and the money invested in the movie. As, I have previously posted I love this series and am a very very dedicated fan but think about what you are saying- each movie has gotten better and there will be an award winning director doing BD.

Stephanie has written these books from her heart and been on the movie sets constantly, she does not want the movies brought across not expressing her thoughts and feeling from the books. Don't you think she reads these posting and it hurts her when she sees some of the stuff you all are writing, be kind and gentle and think before you get pissy- love the books- love the movies- and remember if you hate– one you hurt the other. Be happy at the fact they even want to make these movies- they could say forget and we wouldn't have anything,.

the main thing with adapted screenplay movies is he immediate comparison to the book…its not wrong to do that but then only a twilight movie fan would be able to give an unbiased review of the movie considering that person has not read the book. I too believe the scenes were cut short to make it fast paced but had they increased the running time to 2 and a half hrs..it would have satisfied both genres of fans. It is my favourite book and seeing in a slight change in the screenplay just ruined it for me. All in all a good film.

Okay, I FINALLY got to see Eclipse yesterday evening, it was the preview in France. First, I want to say this: I am 30 years old, so maybe my opinions will be different from those of a teenager….I do feel like 16 at times, but maybe it's an age thing as well….

The beginning was great, full of suspense, everyone was on the verge of their seats, even my hubby said that is was very well done and typical DS work.
I'll take it now in order:

Directing: good, but was expecting much much more from DS. I'm sorry, but after having seen “30 days of night” I was expecting sooo much better quality from DS. The movie is filled with close-ups of the character speaking, Bella, Edward, Jacob, Alice, Jasper, Jessica, Mike, Charlie, Riley, Victoria. Some of the close-ups are ok, some are just ridiculous and show even more the make-up and the lipstick and the weird contact lenses. They give you this feeling of claustophobia and make you cringe when the person looks all wrong. The perfect cinematic sequences of the Forks forest and lake and the mountains were great, but they are in fact the work of that Aguesarobe guy who was also on NM in charge with photography and image stuff, and not DS. Did anyone else notice how shaky the camera was in the garage with Jacob? I thought i was getting dizzy from the excitement and asked hubby if the camera is shaking, he said yes it does. What was that all about? Like some amateur filming there.
Loved the fights, especially the training sequence, just perfect!! Pity these scenes were so short compared to the length of the movie. They get us all warmed up for the BIG fight and when it happens, it's over in 5 minutes….left me high and dry. The whole thing with vampires that get shattered like ice was original, but stupid. Vampires are like stone or marble, not cristal or glass. It was hard to swallow the diamond skin already and I finally have, but now the shattering glass thing too, Jeebus! they are not breakable, they are tough, and they can put themselves together (that was another thing they did not show at all and that bugged me)! I liked the feral, violent side of vampires finally being shown, and the back stories. It brought a bit of the darkness surrounding the vampire myth into the movie, that was perfect!

Overall the movie was really fast paced. On one side I loved this, I just hated the beginning and middle of NM that dragged on and on, on the other side I felt at times overwhelmed by all the action, and had the impression that if I blink I'll loose something. I was craving for some scene where I could catch my breath a bit LOL.

So directing, let's say 6 out of 10 for me. A bit above average, but not by much.

Acting – all played better than NM, you can see they feel much more at ease with their characters. Jasper was the big revelation for me, he was great, funny, loving, beautiful, the wig was great…..loved, loved, loved him.

Characters and story – oh boy, this is it, no? the big red card!!!!

Ok, I'll start with the obvious for me: there is no chemistry between anyone in this movie. I looove the Twilight saga just as much as anyone else on this site, but I did not feel any chemistry at all, none, zero, zilch, nada. I DID saw feelings: Edward loves Bella, clear as daylight, Jacob loves Bella, blinds can see it, but you know, the CHEMISTRY was missing. That tingle from Twilight when they just look at each other and you feel butterflies in your stomach and goosebumps on your arms and your heart just goes faster…yep, it was not there. Not even in the leg hitch, and not in the proposal scene. Jacob has the hottest kiss of the movie (I will vote for best kiss for the next MTV awards) but still no chemistry! I don't know why, can't put my finger on it, everyone did their job well, but it wasn't there

Second fault: Edward. He does not look 17 any more, sorry. And I always imagine Eddward as being 17. It's me, I know, poor Rob is not to blame. In some of the scenes his make-up was again exagerated like in NM, I just hated the lipstick!!! loved him in the meadow scene at the end, much more natural ans sooo beautiful and gorgeous, *sigh*.

The only very very good interaction I felt in this movie was the conflict between Edward and Jacob. It was perfectly played, it was fun to watch, it was a natural, it was perfect. When Edward kisses Bella in front of Jacob, a guy sitting behind me said “yeah, the only thing missing now is that you piss all over her to mark your territory” and everyone laughed, because it was trully the next thing left for him to do. It was very very well played in the movie, and I looved it.

Third thing: Bella. I have no problem with Bella leaving Edward to go on the bike, or telling him “don't”, but it was not right that she did not cry or faint or SOMETHING when Jacob was hurt. It was all wrong and made her seem cold hearted. The scene at the end was epic fail. Bella wants to become a vampire because of Edward. Then, in BD, when she becomes a vampire she realizes that she belongs in that world, that she fits into the vampire universe so much better than in her human life. But that is in BD and not Eclipse!!! MR just does not like the idea of a woman doing a sacrifice for a man, so she changed it. I am very much for girl power and I have to fight for my rights very often because I work in a type of job where man rule, but I guess this just shows that this woman is just not certain of her feminity and she's afraid we'll loose everything if she admits that Bella does this for Edward. Melissa, showing a bit of heart now and then won't make you loose your power, on the contrary! you can be feminine and be in charge of your life.

ok, last part, the worst for me, the most horrible thing of the movie and it made me cringe and wish it was over faster….oh god, you'll just hate me for it, bubut I can't stop feeling this, so please please don't, I feel already so bad about it…well, it was the proposal. Or much more edward's refusal to make love to her before marriage. the whole “drinking ice tea and I would have stolen a kiss and asked your hand from your father bla bla”. Oh dear Jeebus, have mercy! they did not do that in 1918, let's be serious. Maybe they did it in 1866 before the Secession war or something, but come on, in 1918 things were getting pretty loose….or even if it's not the case, it was just awful. First I had the impression Edward was gay or impotent (Bella wants to make love and he stops just like that, come on, girls, let's be honest, who would stop???), then when he was ranting on about the marriage I had the impression he was from some sect or cult and trying to persuade Bella to join in. I hated the whole scene, it was horrible…I have read the books and yes, it went pretty much that way, but I pictured it so lmuch different in my head…

Ok, last thing I would like to observ about the movie, is the way the Quileutes are depicted. If someone who has not read the Twilight books watches this movie he will understand that the Indians are poor, have no clothes, live in some shabby barracks and don't have much education (Seth is having private lessons or something at home). while the Cullens go to school, have lots of money, drive the best cars, have the most elegant clothes and a dream house. If I would be a native American I would definitely complain about it.

Probably now you are thinking, did she like anything at all?
yes, I liked the Jacob/edward scenes, the tent scene was perfect! I loved the J/B kiss, hot. I fell in love with Jasper. I found alice/Jasper very cute and sweet. I loved the back stoires and the training a lot. The music was mind blowing and all songs put in the right places. When Jacob first appears on screen in front of the school, that music just gave me the feeling that I have to jump up from my seat and clap my hands. Howard Shore – epic!! The music from the J/B kiss and jacob on the bed, fitted like a glove! Edward was great in some scenes, hot as hell (snif not all). I liked this movie more than NM, but not more than Twilight. I guess the first one will always stay my favourite. I will go watch it again, maybe things will change after a second view.

I do hope you'll not be mad at me or sad about my comments. I'm sorry if I was rude sometimes, I just got so pi***ed off at some point…..I know the movie is not the same as the book, but some things were so much changed it was not even Twilight saga anymore…*cough Bella at the end decaration “it's not about you”*

I'll definitely go watch it again once or twice, maybe things will change then….I'm still Team Edward, but I'm starting to get over Rob…

Listened to the musical score the second, third, fourth and fifth time I saw this movie. I was wrong! The score was great!!! Loved it! Loved it! Loved It! Downloaded it of Amazon!
The only part of this perfect film that I still have a problem with is the Wedding Planning scene. The reason Bella gave Edward for choosing him was nearly a word for word inner monologue reflecting her feelings after she opened her eyes as a newborn. She had already hunted with Edward, held her daughter, controlled her urge to kill Jacob when she found out he imprinted on her daughter, held her composure when Jacob invited her father Charlie to the Cullen house, and beat Emmett at arm wrestling. (See page 523 of the hardcover version of “Breaking Dawn.”) This inner monologue is appropriate here, however in this part of “Eclipse,” It sounds like Bella wanted the life of an immortal more than she wanted an eternity with Edward. He seemed like the sidedish served with the maincourse. Bella could never be that ungenerous to the man she was willing to give her life to the Volturri to save.
Other than this one small detail, I thought it was perfect. I will be seeing it at least twenty five more times in the theater, and will preorder the DVD as soon as the preorders start appearing. Thanks to all for the great movie!

Last thing I did not like: Bella's clothes. Why does she always have to wear those “little house in the prairie” shirts, even for her own graduation party…at least for that occasion she could put on something more elegant, in the book Alice gives her a shirt, but I can't imagine that it was that pale blue baggy boyfriend shirt she wore in the movie.

how could she chose edward after jacob broke like half his bones to save her?? he almost killed himself… he risked his life for her and she has to chose edward?? if she chose jacob shed stay human and she wouldnt be a monster!!!! and jacob went through all this pain to see bella getting married to edward??? if i were her id pick jacob!!!!! hes the better choice!!!!!
