Thank you, Chris Weitz, for saving the Twilight Saga. I hope they follow your lead with Eclipse. Acting, screenplay, directing, adherence to the book, and especially the special effects, all much more refined than Twilight.
I have read the Twilight saga twice now and I am convinced that they were off the mark at several places in the movie, adding unnecessary scenes that did not advance the story and taking out more important parts. The tone of some off the scenes was completely off. I think the actors did what they could with the screenplay/script they were given. However, I would not have missed this for the world and am going to see it again. I can't wait to see if they can make the next one better!
Bruce Campbell fans will enjoy this movie, but others just won't get the references. But I think Bruce set out to make a cheesy B movie, and that's just what he did.
