I still haven't read a review of this movie; and I am still not going to waste money on this stupid Saga to see it in the theaters weather there good reviews or bad. I will wait and spend a dollar at the red box; and good or bad that is still to much money for this movie.

Whats really upsetting me is that The last Airbender is coming out the same week and we all know its going to be Number 2 at the box office, i really wanted M.Night to have a number 1 with this,cause the movie looks to be an epic, instead (in words of my fellow moviewebber -Geekstar)where going to watch pathetice lil girl confused and torn between a arrogant werewolf and a child molesting vampire!!

The Narrator: The Better Man
God, for better or worse (probably the latter) Twilight has become a part of pop culture and won't go away any time soon. We know whats entertaining, whats cheesy, and whats horrible and are free to judge on those standards. Should we scream inside about how much this series sucks Werewolf balls? No.

For whatever reason people are continuously posting bad links for this movie.
As Far as I know there is only one legitimate place to watch Twilight Eclipse online,
just go to movieidiot(DOT)com

This is just a fad...just like Harry Potter once was, it will be forgotten in 10 years and some other crap film will come and take its place, the actors wont do anything outside these movies...I mean Pattinson came out in 2 other movies and like pff they came and wend and died instantly....are these films dumb and filled with bad dialog, yes, but it is what it is..... HUMANITY'S DEGENERATION INTO THE ABYSS OF STUPIDITY.
