Brilliant

The books are brilliant, well crafted, mesmerizing and incredibly satisfying -- the reader is totally absorbed in the ongoing story which is so well done that there are no inconsistencies to drag you away from 'living the books'.
Usually, with a series of books so complex and well-woven, you expect the movies made from them to be hopefully good but not AS good, usually "good but different" is the best you hope for.
New Moon thrilled me because they took the characters introduced in Twilight to a new level, a level much more in keeping with their 'reality' in the books. Eclipse continues this growth -- it was absolutely stunning. There were No glitches or errors to pull you away from being fully, 100% absorbed in the story from beginning to end. It was beautifully acted, directed and filmed. If the ratings went up to 5 stars I'd have to give it at least a 7 or 8...
Thank you ... you began by being good actors with good roles -- you have successfully Become the characters and again, one word -- Brilliant!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better than the first Twilight Movie

Movies are by nature summaries of the books, in this case, Stephanie Meyer has so much detail and good character development in the books you couldn't cram every last bit into a movie. The first Twilight movie was good entertainment but missed some of the richness of the book. New Moon was excellent. All of the characters gained more depth and reality -- I will definitely want to see it a second time, as well as re-reading the first two books. Wonderful job! I can hardly wait for Three and Four :)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
