So happy with the portrayal of the book in this movie. It covered the storyline very. My husband who did not read the books, said he did not feel like he was missing any information. The characters had a lot more depth and personality. There was a great comic relief element (mostly with Jake) that I really enjoyed. It did move quickly but I don't think that was a bad thing. This is an action packed movie and too much down time with make it loose that momentum. And film adaptations of books always seem to go much faster because you are not getting all the inner monologue. Overall I feel Slade hit the mark.
I liked the actions scenes a lot….and actually felt there could have been more…but it was enough to keep your mind moving. The interaction with the wolves and their hugeness was fun to see on screen esp. in a scene with Wolf Jake and Bella. They of course played up Jake's buffness in his human form…which I feel was bit overdone…made it a bit cheesy but he certainly did work hard for that body so I am sure it is nice to give it a spotlight!
They vamps look so much better too...for vampires that are supposed to be the most beautiful things, I think the first movie failed on that completely…New Moon was better but in Eclipse they definitely were much more on target. The odd dyed hair is what it is…it was set in the first one and the vamps are not supposed to change so there is little they can do to make that part better now.
Overall…this was the best movie in the Twilight series and I do wish they would keep Will Slade as the director for Breaking Dawn. He did a fantastic job!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
