Best of the series

I am a die-hard fan of Stephanie Meyers four Twilight saga books, and honestly did not expect to like this third installment as much as the book; I am pleasantly suprised to say that the movie was excellent! The larger filming budget as obvious, but more than that, the actors seem to have finally hit their stride; where during the last movie I found Bella extremely mumbly and annoying, she has somehow found a way to improve on the character and did a perfect job. I loved Jasper's back story, loved the action sequences, thought Jacob portrayed his tormented character flawlessly, and was sad to see the movie end! I wasn't sure I even wanted to see this movie, after the last one, but now am excited for the release of the final film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

true to the book

My husband and I both enjoyed this movie; having read all four of the books, I was glad to see that the movie did a great job staying with the original story. My husband criticized that it was dark, a "depressing" story, but in a way that's true of the book! The casting remains excellent as far as Jacob and Edward, although we both found Bella excessively mumbly...not sure if that's an actress trait or what. The Volturi were also just as creepy as I imagined them! As a viewer, you do feel the conflict and agony of Bella's pull toward Jacob, in spite of knowing she belongs with Edward, just like in the book...that's got to be hard to convey on screen but it was there. This movie left me looking forward even more to the third one!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
