ECLIPSE: dear god will this never end?!!

Question: how do you stretch 10 minutes of plot into a two hour film?
Answer: by having the main characters talk endlessly and repetitively about the same damn thing!
I should have learnt my lesson after suffering through the snoozefest that was 'New Moon' but this third installment in the apparently interminable 'Twilight' saga is even worse.
Almost nothing of any consequence happens as Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) carry on like a pair of lovesick pups, and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) tries to insert his ridiculously overdeveloped pecs between them.
There are well written and entertaining dramas about teenage love (think of almost anything by John Hughes in his prime) and then there's this tortuously sappy teen angst fest which does nothing but revisit the lack of action in part two.
