Talk:Eclipse movie reviews/@comment-2173221-20100816190709

Not to be mean or anything but I give Eclipse 2 and half stars out of 5! I LOVE THE NOVEL, it was so suspenseful, thrilling, and brilliant! Stephenie did well writing it but the film was completely off by a lot and didn't live up to the novels reputation! The scenes kept jumping and the whole movie was fast and didn't give us time to take in the sequence of events emotions. David Slade, who directed the film, IS AMAZING but his work for Eclipse just didn't amount to anything more than a here and there intensity and awe. The newborn fighting scene was okay but i thought they could have done better! They left a lot out in that scene and throughout the whole movie! Jasper was supposed to get bitten, Alice was supposed to get angry when Bella left with Jacob, Jacob was supposed to say the part about an Eclipse, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO SHOW A VISION ALICE WAS HAVING OF VICTORIA COMING BACK, there was supposed to be another scene from the short second life of bree tanner that would have made everyone understand the scene where the Volturi watch the newborns given the fact that the Volturi confronted Victoria personally and they didn't show that, ALICE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET HER PORSCHE, Victoria and Edward didn't fight in the book-they did but it was only seconds before her death, they just 'danced' around eachother. The movie had more comedy, which is good i guess but they left out more than what i listed above. I think if Summit and David Slade studied the book more they would have understood and approached it a lot differently for the best and atleast make it 80% related to the novel.
