It was only yesterday I finally saw Eclipse!
I think I liked it. It focuses Bella's division between Edward and Jacob, but not with that dramatic and disgusting tone of New Moon - no suicide attempts, no adrenaline rushes, just her pure feelings. In both Twilight and New Moon I HATED Jacob! He's there only to disturb Bella and Edward's peaceful love...! Now, after watching Eclipse, I somehow understand him. He likes Bella and she makes him hope for something in New Moon (stupid girl, damn!) - it's only natural that he fights for it.
About Bella... Hmm, I must say I hate that girl since the beginning. She has that suffering look that always annoys me to death. She is with the guy she loves, and he loves her back! Why on Earth isn't she jumping of joy?? Incomprehensible.
However, considering that final speech in Eclipse (in which she admits she never felt like she belonged somewhere before meeting the Cullens and the vampire world) I have to like her a little bit more. That speech is, in my opinion, the best of the Twilight Saga essence: the meeting of two people who are completely out of that insane human world.
There's still Edward Cullen to talk about... He is, predictably, my favorite character since the very beginning (and my second favorite would be Alice - and third Carlisle or Emmet, not sure). I mean, he's so cute, deep, disturbed, odd... He's a perfect tormented vampire.
The Cullens are also adorable. I love all that eccentricity of being a vampire - the baseball games, the hunts, Alice's visions, Edward's mind-reading powers... They are the perfect family. All so interesting (ok, except Rosalie), all so united but, still, all so individual and unique. Love the Cullens!
Just to finish... I must say this whole Twilight Saga thing is, sometimes, taken too far. New Moon was completely unnecessary and ridiculous, focusing not the good part of the story (as I previously said, the vampire world and it's differences from human world), but the cheap and theatrical drama in the Edward-Bella-Jacob situation. Also, I believe that there was no need for much more than just Twilight. When you insist too much in something, no matter how good it is, it always ends up becoming monotonous. The story should have been made to be shorter. Keeping the intrigues and vampire/wolf details, of course, but shorter.
