I am a big fan of the Twilight Saga books. I found the first two movies hard to watch, but heard great reviews for the third. Unfortunately, it was a major let down.
As far as pertaining to the book, the movie fell short. As a far as standing alone as a good movie, it was poor to say the least. It lacked intensity of emotion, funny one liners, and pivotal scenes in Edward's and Bella's relationship. There were times when I was actually bored.
My one praise: Edward is no longer wearing a mask of halloween make-up. His character was slightly more animated, unlike the rest of his co-stars.
Eclipse is my favorite of the books so I suppose I had high hopes.
