This is definitely the best movie adaptation of the Twilight books so far. (Yes, I’ve read them.) The actors seem to have finally grown into their roles in this film.
The adapted script for the movie took very few liberties with the original story, and the few it did take were excellent. My favorites were definitely Jessica’s high school graduation speech and Lautner’s one-liner in the tent where he tells Edward “Everyone knows I’m hotter than you.”


The one thing I don’t quite understand, and maybe this is just the politics of movie making, is why they replaced the actress who played Victoria. Victoria hardly has any screen time in the film, and the actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, did not strike me as anything spectacular. If anything, she has a softer and less threatening look than her predecessor.

As a HUGE Twilight Book fan, I was a little leery of seeing this movie. While I liked New Moon, I hated the first movie, and so I was not sure what to think going into the third movie. The movie is totally fantastic! I absolutely love watching this third installment on the big screen (and when I say big, I mean really big because we saw this movie in IMAX.) We are seeing it again this weekend and I can hardly wait!!
