“ It's a bit of a strange thing to review The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, as I feel split down the middle between reacting to the film as a critic and a fan. The critic in me is cheering, seeing a very well put together film with solid performance, strong story arc and a very successful book to film translation that keeps the intent of the story, brings intensity of the action as well as the internal conflict all the while managing to made a third entry into the series enjoyable as 'part 3' but also easily understandable to anyone who walks in cold.”

“ Amid the impenetrable forest of marketing and fan culture that comprises the "Twilight" universe, ranging from official merchandise to pornographic knockoffs, it's gotten a little difficult to tell what role the actual stories play. Are Stephenie Meyer's quartet of novels, and their even more ultra-popular Hollywood adaptations -- now reaching the third of what will reportedly be five movies -- just a mangy little poodle being wagged by an enormous tail? ”

“ The Twilight saga continues in an installment that follows Kristen Stewart's Bella as she's forced to finally choose between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner), with her efforts complicated by the creeping realization that Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard, taking over for Rachelle Lefevre) is assembling an army of newborn vampires to avenge the death of her mate. There's little doubt that Eclipse effectively builds on the irresistibly cinematic atmosphere established by its immediate predecessor, 2009's New Moon, as filmmaker David Slade does a nice job of balancing the elements that have come to define this series - including larger-than-life action sequences and the romantic entanglements of the three protagonists. ”
