Synopsis / Plot: In Eclipse Bella (Kristen Stewart) is forced to choose between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner). The story opens with the revelation that Seattle, Washington is being plagued by a string of unsolved murders, which Edward suspects is caused by a new vampire that is unable to control its thirst for human blood. As Edward and Bella apply to colleges, Bella explains to Edward her desire to see her friend, Jacob Black, a werewolf. Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that neither Jacob nor his wolf pack would ever harm her, and she begins visiting him occasionally. Meanwhile, Alice Cullen has a vision that Victoria, a vampire who is hunting Bella for revenge, has returned to Forks. A few days later, Edward proposes to Bella and, despite harboring an aversion to marriage, she accepts.

Critics' reviews

"An entertaining mix of romance and action fantasy (...) It took three films, but "The Twilight Saga" finally nails just the right tone in 'Eclipse'"

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"The pleasant surprise this time around is that the result finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"For most of its languorous running time, it listens to conversations between Bella and Edward, Bella and Jacob, Edward and Jacob, and Edward and Bella and Jacob. This would play better if any of them were clever conversationalists (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Eclipse (...) is a more robustly entertaining film than either of its predecessors."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
