I enjoyed Eclipse. The best parts were the fight scenes and the back stories of Jasper, Rosalie, and the Quileutes. I think the cinematography was a little off: the lighting was harsh and unflattering to this gorgeous cast. I'm glad they gave Jasper and Emmett more to do. I'm not sure Esme said a word. The Volturi look ridiculous without Michael Sheen. It's hard to feel threatened by an immobile Dakota Fanning. The movie is definitely for fans.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My husband and I both enjoyed this film. We'd both read the book and are big fans of: Dan Brown, Rome, Tom Hanks, and Hans Zimmer. Therefore, it would be hard for us NOT to love it. This movie stretches your mind, to think about religion, history, and high energy physics. It was clever how the screenwriters updated the book to represent 2009. The pomp and circumstance of the (faux) papal conclave and Vatican was beautiful, and it's the next best thing to going to Rome (similar to the armchair traveling you do in a Bond or Bourne movie). I also liked Ewan McGregor. The film does have violent scenes which were excessive, and I wouldn't recommend it to children.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie delivered exactly what I wanted: excitement, adventure, and a great James Bond. Daniel Craig is a superhero Bond; no gadgets, all physicality and intelligence and purpose. I had read some mixed reviews but I like it as much as Casino Royale. The filmmakers keep raising the bar with new fight choreography. I particularly liked the Tosca scene.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
