If you're not a fan of the books or other movies, just please stop reading now.
Now that the haters are gone... I think this movie was the most well-made out of the three. Except for Kristen's hair. I guess it was a wig? lol Eclipse was the book I read first, by strange circumstance ( I was bored at work and someone had the book with them) so I think because I read it first I like it best? I think the movie followed the story fairly closely, except where they had to diverge to due to changes already created in the first two movies (school friends). Taylor Lautner actually made Jacob an enjoyable character, wheras in the book he is a complete jacka$$, imo. I think he has really improved as an actor from New Moon to Eclipse.
The director must have been reading the posts and forums and blogs, because there is a lot less lip-biting "acting" from Kristen Stewart. I don't remember seeing much at all.
I don't see why they decided to change actresses for the character Victoria- it wasn't like she had a great amount of screen time or lines.
A great story with the love triangle stuff, very emotional. Better special effects with the vampires dying and the wolf animation. All the scenes were very well done and most of them just as I imagined them, which is always good for a book-to-movie adaptation. Fans won't be disappointed.

"Fans won't be disappointed."
Truer words were never spoken! As a huge Twi-Hard, I enjoyed this one more than the other two. (And yeah, that was a wig Kristen Stewart was wearing. She was still rocking the Joan Jett mullet for The Runaways.)
And I LOVE that they picked David Slade to direct this one. He knows how to direct his vampire action sequences. I was on the edge of my seat for the final 30 minutes of the movie.
This was a great movie that I can't wait to buy for my Twilight collection.

Definitely the best of the three movies. (Also my favorite book of the series, too.)
Rachelle Lefevre was tied up in another project... (or so the rumor goes)... that was the reason the role of Victoria was recast. I like Bryce Dallas Howard and think she is a good actress --- not that this role got to showcase her talent. Saw an interview with her though... she is (by her own words) an obsessed Twilight fan, so it had to be awesome for her.
I like Jacob better in the book, but thought that Taylor Lautner did an admirable job.
