Playful, lighter, but still Twilight

I went to see this last night because of the continuation of the story, not because of the quality of the first two movies. I haven't read the books, but I got sucked in by the first two movies and just wanted to know, "What happens next???" I felt Twilight was a much better movie than New Moon: better written, better directed, better cinematography.
Eclipse, however, is literally one of the best made movies I've seen in several years. I dislike movies that are filmed so much in the dark that you can't see what's happening, and I could actually tell what all the characters were saying -- much less mumbling than in New Moon. Even the huge fight sequence was done in daylight, which was awesome, because it's so rarely done in any movie, really.
The additions to the cast were awesome, and whomever the new gal playing Victoria was -- she rocked that character.
This film didn't have any of the endless droaning on and on about secrets and whatnot that the first two did -- things were presented up front and in the open.
The comedic elements were awesome, and were weaved into the film extremely well. My kudos to the screenwriters, which I'm assuming was a different group than the first two films.
The fact that the writers and director chose to play up on the Jacob-Edward drama was awesome, as was the film's acknowledgement of the fact that the target audience of the film *wanted* to be swooning over Jacob -- that was awesome.
I own very, very few movies - this will be a "director's cut" worth buying, I'm sure.
And yes, Jacob *is* hotter than Edward, and it's ok that he doesn't own any more shirts. :)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
