Eclipse

Let me preface this by saying: I LOVE VAMPIRES. and werewolves. and wizards. and faeries. and generally all kinds of fantasy beings and stories. Have I read all of the Twilight books? Yes. More than once? Yes. (Sidebar, I am reading Harry Potter 5-7 for the fourth times each, if this helps paint a clearer picture) Therefore:

Eclipse was AWESOME. Definitely the best installment in the Twilight Saga to date. I feel no need to summarize the movie because you shouldn't be seeing it if you haven't read the book (just my opinion on books turned into movies). I had the obsession and foresight to sign myself up to see the first two Twilight movies in a special in-theater deal before being among the first to see Eclipse at midnight. Best decision ever? Needless to say, there is nothing that could have made me not like this movie. Nay, LOVE this movie.

I concede that many people do not share my passion for all things Twilight (Team Jacob!), and that's ok. But, you probably shouldn't see this movie if that is the case. You know who you are that will be seeing this movie, regardless of what I or anyone says about it, and you know who you aren't that won't. I, for one, was delightedly pleased with Eclipse and cannot WAIT for Breaking Dawn part I sometime next year. I will be there at midnight yet again, screaming and clapping and cheering, especially when Jacob isn't wearing a shirt, which lucky for us all, is generally the whole time.
