Could Eclipse have better action than DH?
Slade already proved that he can make something exciting and gritty with '30 Days of Night' and it looks like there could be a big battle in the next Twilight film.
In Yates' films the editing tends to drag down loads of the action scenes. The Ministry battle suffered greatly because of Days' choppy cuts. Any excitement was sucked out of Sectumsempra because of the poor editing. There's also a rather uneventful turn with the Burrow Attack...where nothing really happened, there was probably less than a minute of action. Now the Inferi attack was very well done, however it was too short. I think it only lasted 1.5 minutes? I also enjoyed the attack on the bridge, but neither of them can match some of the action scenes in DH. Sure, the cafe fight can be short and be a few spells long but what about stuff like the Ministry Infiltration or the 7 Potters? There will be dozens of wizards battling at a time and I fear the scene may have no time to breath, to really get into its stride before it ends. I also fear that Days editing could bring down the better action pieces as well?
Thoughts?

I just hope Yates gets a handle on those action scenes; in HBP the bland action could be excused, since it was, after all, no where near as action packed as the other books. DH, on the other hand. Well, it relies much more heavily on action. And if the action is bad...I hate to say it but the movie will fall flat in it's face. I certainly hope not.
