I would have to say no... my feelings towards the three main characters began with the books and were cemented by the film. Throughout both, Edward was the one that handled the whole thing with the most maturity and dignity, which is of course to be expected from his advanced years!
I felt sorry for Jacob throughout, though mildy irritated, I could see where he was coming from - right up until the part where he basically threatens to kill himself to get a reaction from her, that she gives him out of desperation and panic rather than sincerity. It was emotional blackmail bordering on manipulation and it made me cringe in both the book and the film.
I felt more for poor Edward and Bella than Jacob in Eclipse.
