Twilight: Eclipse

It's been a while, but I'm ready to post again! Unfortunately, it regards a movie that may not leave you satisfied...
Twilight: Eclipse is right on point for a movie that calls its demographic the tweens, teens and cult movie saga followers. It gives you great fight scenes, hot bods (Go Team Jacob!), and a deep romantic love story. My husband and I went on a double date with friends and the guys actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit. The problem comes when you not only follow the film series, but also the books. My girlfriend and I actually had a hard time enjoying the film because not only was it not true to the dialogue of the book, but it also lacked the emotional aspect, which was written by a young Mormon woman whose purpose for the series was to remind youth of the fire that burns within while in love and the satisfaction that comes with waiting to make love with your soul mate until marriage.
The movie lets in a little too much sexual content and even though the featured couple doesn't break the bounds of promised abstinence, showing Jacob without his shirt 19 times and having Bella BEG for Edward to ravage her incessantly, although it draws in more viewers, doesn't leave the true Twilight fans really begging for more.
