Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, the scene where Jacob carries Bella to mask her scent, Taylor Lautner was to push Kristen Stewart on a cart. But it did not look real enough. So Taylor agreed to carry Kristen himself. Only after so many takes, his arms were extremely sore as they filmed the scene all day.
- Goofs(at around 35 mins) When the Cullens are watching the news, the woman says "reporting live". She's in Seattle and it's night time there but at the Cullens' house we can see it's day time (through the window). Forks and Seattle are in the same time zone, therefore it should be the same time of the day in both places.
- Quotes
Charlie Swan: [seeing Edward & Jake close to physically fighting each other] Hey, hey, hey... Easy, guys, easy... Let's take it down a notch, all right? What's going on?
Jacob Black: [pause] I kissed Bella.
[pause]
Jacob Black: And she broke her hand.
[pause]
Jacob Black: Punching my face.
[pause]
Jacob Black: It was a complete misunderstanding.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available. One is the original Theatrical Cut (TC), and the other is an Extended Cut (EC). As noted in the IMDB "Technical Specifications" section, the EC runs about 7 minutes longer. It consists of additional footage incorporated into the film, instead of separated as a Deleted Scenes feature.

First things first, "Eclipse" (in almost every scene) relates to the love triangle. Even the battle parts still have a connection between the love triangle. Everything (except scenes not in her perspective).
"Eclipse" is also a kind of slow movie because of too many dramatic scenes which were pretty boring. Even though they had a brutal killing villain, tension wasn't even there as drama overthrew it on the screen.
There were some laughable moments too (and they were related to the love triangle). They were just not-so-funny moments but still can entertain you.
Another thing you have to remember watching this movie is to remember that "Eclipse" has tons of kissing scenes (and they are so long e.g. 10 minutes). It was so boring. It's just like watching some person watering the plants while whistling. And, when I saw it, I feel like it's going to be a very boring film which deserves a one-star rating.
The acting was bad. There were almost no emotions even for Bella. I say Robert Pattinson's acting on Edward was the worst of all. Bryce Dallas Howard on Victoria was not bad. Xavier Samuel on Riley was the best of all. But, the three main characters' acting were almost emotionless. Of the three leads, Taylor Lautner was the best.
The action scenes were not satisfying. It was short and kind of brutal. Speaking of brutal, I say "Eclipse" has the deadliest, most brutal scenes in "The Twilight Saga".
By the way, a contributing factor to this movie is that it has many flashbacks or memories of the characters that also skip the fighting parts of it. The flashbacks were too long that it made me sleepy when I watched it.
I'm kind of shocked with the vampires in this movie. They look like crystals or something as there were scenes showing hands or heads decapitated and they look like shiny crystals.
"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is another slow movie which always and always focuses on that love triangle. There were no really exciting moments in the movie and if they had shortened the kissing scenes, this film would have been shorter than two hours. I think this film just deserves a 5-star rating. But, believe it or not, it's currently the best Twilight film.
