‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’
What It’s About: The action begins to pick up in this, the third chapter in the Twilight franchise. Bella (Kristen Stewart) not only has to contend with regular teenage angst (her high school graduation is looming), she is again forced to the center of a romantic tug-of-war with love Edward (Robert Pattinson) on one side and friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner) on the other. Add in a vengeance plot by malicious vampires ravaging nearby Seattle and you finally get a slam-bam sequel.

It’s Kinda Like: ‘Dark Shadows’ with raging hormones.
What We Say: The Twilight saga finally comes of age with a story line that transcends the girly pulp of the previous outings. Sure we get the by-now-de-rigueur Edward-Jacob stare downs and the obligatory Bella mopey behavior but — surprise, surprise — the characters have deepened and matured, with a bit more of an emphasis on inner conflicts other than jealousy and unrequited love.
But wait, there’s more: Throw in a very exciting and bloody (for this soap) battle between bad vampires and good vampires, with the werewolves joining in with the latter for good measure. This is not your little sister’s romance flick any more.
• Extras: The DVD and Blu-ray versions are loaded with extras, including deleted and extended scenes, commentary with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, commentary with Stephenie Meyer, a photo gallery, a six-part “making of” documentary, music videos, and “Fast-Forward” features that allow viewers to jump directly to their favorite character’s scenes.

That's really not the best review I've ever heard.
Twilight was NEVER "Your little sister's favorite flick".
That just comes from small-minded ignorance.
