Yesterday was the day that we’ve been waiting for, the reveal of the Eclipse one sheet poster! Within minutes, people starting voicing their opinions. While some were thrilled with it, for others it fell far short of their expectations. I was kind of middle of the road.

My first reaction, I admit, was to be underwhelmed. While it was certainly beautiful, did it really portray what Eclipse is? And what about the tag line? It All Begins…With A Choice Does that really yell Eclipse to us? The more I looked at it though, the more that I liked it. I mean, check out Edward in the v-neck t and of course the eyes are gorgeous. Yes, it very quickly grew on me.

So what is there to complain about? I heard some people who wanted to see some shots of a battle perhaps. Some wanted to see more of the wolf pack or the Cullens. I heard a suggestion of a poster that showed the Cullens and the wolves together since they join forces in this one. While I think those, and a tent in the background, would make great posters, they just aren’t what you’re going to find on a one sheet.

I’m glad that Edward looks a bit more casual here, closer to the 17 he is supposed to be than he looked in the button-up shirt and jacket we saw through so much of New Moon. I think this poster does an excellent job of showing that Edward and Jacob are both making a play for Bella’s heart here. It’s not like New Moon when Edward removed himself from the equation. Although they may have never had an equal chance, showing them like that on the poster is a good move.

As for the tag line, well, for Bella, was there ever really a choice? I don’t think so, but I’m incredibly interested to see how it’s played out in the movie. I’m very happy with the poster. People will always find something to be unhappy with, that’s unavoidable, but I think the most important thing is that the release of this poster just brings us one step closer to being in our seats, riveted, on June 30.

What were your thoughts on the poster? Can’t wait to hear from you! Be sure to check out my main blog for the Eclipse quote of the day and book discussions!
