Talk:Eclipse - book to movie differences/@comment-76.20.251.89-20100722054752

I am a really big fan of stephenie meyer, I love the twilight series I have read all four plus the partial verison of midnight sun. Honestly, i was glad to see books turned into movies but thought the books were ten times better. Hollywood made the scenes so fast paced, it didn't even give you time to absorb the moment. I felt the were alot of scenes left out from the books; so many of the moments that made Eclipse one of my favorite books. We missed the struggle Bella was going through and I felt there were so many scenes that showed Edward's human side that was left out, because he was jealous. The scene when Bella decides to be with Edward was so powerful in the book and Melissa made it seem like an afterthought, as she did so many moments in the film. It is so sad to see books I love, come to life on the screen so badly....I am really upset about this one, because it was my favorite and I wish they could have at least made more of an effort to uphold what makes us love these books! There hold tent scene was much more intense than what was protrayed in the movies. Alice actually reveals Bella wedding dress in Eclipse it happens in book, along with Edward sending Jacob a invitation to the wedding. When they were sitting in the meadow in the book, Edward was ready to have sex with bella, but she decided she wanted to wait. The whole scene where bella ditches school in edward face was better in book. In book, Edward has brought Alice a porsche to keep Bella under carfeful watch while he's hunting with jasper and emmett. Alice is the one who sees Bella leaving, bella is so mad at Edward that she doesnt even bother to sleep on the bed in his room. When edward returns from hunting, he wakes bella from sleeping on couch. he puts her legs around his waist, begins making out with bella with great intensity. He is teasing her for not sleeping on bella, he actually leads bella on to think they're about to have sex. The scene with her mother was downplayed as well. The scene after the fight when jacob is injuried is also downplayed when bella goes back to the reservation the conservation is alot more intense in the book. Bella drives the motorcycle back to cullen household the one she got jacon to fix in new moon. Bella is on punishment not because she ran off to Italy but because jacob snitched about her accident with motorcycles in new moon to charlie
