It's not often that a movie is as good as the book, but in this series that's not the case. Each one has brought the book to life faithfully, in spirit, if not in every detail. Eclipse has dutifully portrayed all of the tension between Edward and Jacob, with excellent acting on both sides. Jacob's character has grown as much as his muscles and Lautner's acting skills are as incredible as his abs. Like the book, the movie is a bit lurching,going from background story to background story. Also like the books, it is so obviously full of teen angst that it practically screams "cheesy" at moments, but the overall effect is impressive. Twilight fans will love it and the rest will have a good time.
