Age Old Question of Book V. Movie

I thought that Eclipse was probably the best of the three movies so far, but still may be a bit hard to follow for anyone who had not read the series. They obviously had to leave alot out. Too bad a big part of what is missing are the parts of the stories in the movies that help to build the chemistry between the characters. For example, why did Bella even like Edward in the first place? If you didn't read the books, would you buy into it? Lautner out-acts the other two. Amazing that he was the one they were considering axing after the first movie. I am happy that Eclipse goes into the backgrounds of Rosalie, Jasper, and the Quileute Werewolves, but I wish they would have dug deeper with the Quileute. That was one of the most interesting parts of the book. The proposal was quite romantic and the Tent Scene was done especially well. The dialogue between Edward and Jacob was one of the best scenes. I think all actors are getting better as they grow into the characters. I even thought the wolves CGI was done a lot more believably this time. I am glad the movie ended happily, but one of the most touching parts for me in the book was when Jacob gets the wedding invitation, phases, and goes running in the wooods alone. Ofcourse, who wants to leave the theatre bawling, so I guess that is why they chose to end it the way they did.
Howard should not have been given the part of Victoria, no matter who she is related to. The old Victoria had a great crooked evil smile. Howard played it soft. It was hard to be scared of her.
I will continue to buy a ticket for each movie in the Saga, but I may not sit there for 2 1/2 hours ahead of time just to make premiere night again. I really thought the theatre could have handed out some SWAG!!! How about a movie poster or a lousy plastic cup for those of us TwiHards who were dedicated to come 3 hours early to a Midnight Premiere on a Tuesday? C'Mon Summit! Where is the Love?
Yes, I recommend this movie.
