Critics Consensus

Stuffed with characters and overly reliant on uninspired dialogue, Eclipse won't win The Twilight Saga many new converts, despite an improved blend of romance and action fantasy.

I wanted "terrible/AWESOME" and all we got was painfully terrible. I am upset.

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

It's better than New Moon (because something actually happens), but both Jacob and Edward are insufferable and Bella's decision to become a vampire remains irrational. Janky FX, not enough Dallas Howard and bad wigs sink the ship. Slade is on autopilot

Rated: 2.5/5

And amidst so much effervescence lies teen movies' most wearisome love triangle. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

This melodrama of monsters doubles as a metaphor for the characters’ sometimes supernatural ability to control their sexual desires. The rest of the plot is just filler.

Rated: 2/4

i think i liked the movie and it didnt bore me.....everything was ok but i felt it was bad encouraging the idea that the heroin would kiss someone on purpose and the hero would still be ok with it? and marriage.... the rest was good tho... (you cant sell a kiss to people you dont love in a way?)

ECLIPSE is a clear improvement, offering a more layered backstory and greater depth. The two male leads are obnoxious but fully lean into it, while Stewart commands the role, despite the distracting wig.

'Some say the world will perish in fire, some say in ice. But after I've tasted the pleasure, I believe in fire.' For the third part, David Slade takes the helm and delivers the best "Twilight" film to date. The color grading is within acceptable limits, the visual effects have improved considerably, the music is OK and the dialogue is no longer as blatantly stupid as in the two previous films. In addition, the third attempt finally has antagonists who have the minimum level of presence so that they are not forgotten again immediately after the credits. Like Bella, I have now come to terms with her role as a passive female being whose goal in life will be marriage. The problem with the many small improvements in "Eclipse" is this: the trash factor is mostly missing. Yes, you can still have a lot of fun with this film. But the level of garbage, especially in the first part, is no longer reached. The film is made too competently for that. Instead of a series of WTF moments, it is often boring. And just because "Eclipse" is better made doesn't mean that Bella, Edward and Jacob's third big screen adventure is even remotely good. Because you can't even call it an adventure.
