Not the book...but exceptional

For the true Twilight fan - be warned - there is much different about the movie than the book, Eclipse. Having said that - the movie just works. I think for time purposes several things were omitted from the book - even affecting some of the plot, but the movie still conveys the conflict and integrity of the book. The action sequences were superior to New Moon. The wolves were very realistic. The story was sweet. Everyone looked great. I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time and found myself disappointed as the movie ended. This movie is the best in the series thus far.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better than the book?

At the risk of inflaming "Twi-hards" everywhere I have to say that my expectations were surpassed as I find this movie to be possibly better than the book and definitely superior to the first movie. The acting was more dramatic, if at times over-the-top, and this portion of the Twilight saga is much more action-packed. The tension/chemistry between "Bella and Jacob" and the conflict with "Edward" make for an edge-of-your seat experience. You might switch back and forth between Team Jacob to Team Edward. Be warned that the screenplay is significantly different at times from the book but I believe the changes were, in most cases, for the better. Worth 2 viewings.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good screen version

As a fan of the book series I thought this movie did a nice job translating the story to screen although there are some definite differences in the screenplay. With minimal budget and effects the movie relies on the acting which is good if inconsistent. The cast compliments each other well and the on-screen chemistry between "Edward and Bella" is undeniable. With a fitting soundtrack this story is a clean, exciting love story appropriate for teen fans as well as romantics at heart.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
