Better than the others..BUT..

OK, I read and LOVED the Twilight series. I am actually an ANNE RICE (Interview with the Vampire series) fan and will always believe that no vampire story holds a candle to Anne Rice, especially the Vampire Lestat.
That said, Eclipse was more entertaining than the prior two films. David Slade has a great eye for horror/action cinamatography and his eye made the film look professional and worthy of the hollywood screen.
As for the film being true to the book, it was a good attempt. As we know, Books are ALWAYS better than the movie version of them. I am SOOOO tired of Robert Pattinson's brooding look on his face. He has the same expression throughout all 3 films, no matter if he is angry, sad, or happy! I am glad that Kristin got the marbles out of her mouth- I can finally understand her lines! She apparently got coached on how to avoid mumbling! Taylor was the best actor out of all 3. This kid loves the character and puts his heart into his role- it shows. He speaks clearly and with emotion, and his facial expressions are right on the money. He is the most believable of them all. Glad they got into the Cullen flashbacks, but thought they should have been longer. Where was Esme in this film? Very little speaking for her this time around. Hope Breaking Dawn is alot stronger of a film, and that they do not leave out the gory details of Bella's pregnancy and transformation. It is so decriptive in the book, they shouldn't lessen its shock value just to make it pg-13.

MUST SEE FILM!

A very intimate glimpse into the Michael Jackson that very few people got to see and experience. This film has a great balance of documentary interview material, awesome footage of song rehearsals, and the best part (in my opinion)- seeing Michael's genius mind at work as he directed every aspect of his vision ("all love"). Fantastic film. Michael's voice and dance moves were on POINT. Seeing the special effects team that Michael employed to do various green-screen sequences for the concert, films that tied into the stage theatrics was brilliant. This Is It was going to be a show that would have left every attendee absolutely speechless. There will NEVER be another Michael Jackson. Long Live the King!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
