I will always be a fan of the Twilight Saga BOOKS, and that is why I support the movies. The first one was disappointing when I saw it the first time, but given the low budget, hardly known actors, and BAD direction, I gave it a second chance and liked it. I knew that with more money and better direction, the series would get better, and in my opinion: it did.
I saw the midnight showing of Eclipse, and fortunately, did not have to wait in any lines. The actors are getting more settled into their characters. I was glad to see more of the Cullen family developed. Even though Victoria had a small part, I can't say that I really liked Bryce Dallas Howard over Rachelle Lefevre. Overall, I thought Eclipse was a little slow in some spots, but good and entertaining enough. I am now anticipating Breaking Dawn!
Having so much hype built around this movie, it was hard not to be disappointed in some areas. I gave this movie an average grade since the movie was low-budget, and it IS hard to squeeze book details into a 2 hr movie. Bella and Edward seemed to fall in love too quickly in the movie. It DOES leave the audience wanting more. Even though it was only "OK" for me, I will see New Moon. I am hoping that with the monetary success of Twilight, they will look at it as a "rough draft" and learn from it, so they can make New Moon and all the others much better!
