Review:
First of all let me say that I now believe the third time is definately the charm.  Hands down this is my favorite Twilight movie to date.  Could it be the high budget or special effects...I'm not sure however I can say that this movie followed closer to the book than the other two, brought the danger and darkness to another level and finally the fight scenes showed how dangerous the vampires can be and why Bella should have ran the second she figured out Edward was one.  Kristen played Bella again flawlessly, as Taylor continued to prove his muscles are not the only thing about him that people should notice.   Rob, I'm happy to say, finally showed me the Edward I was waiting for, the caring, loving side that I fell in love with in the books.  True, he still had his 'Rob' moments of tormented soul, but the drama helped the story this time around instead of just causing Edward to seem like a complete jerk.  The others, vampires and werewolves alike, also did a great job is bringing out their inner creatures causing the final fight scene to be breathtaking and flawless as well.

Down side:  Hmmmm, being an obsessed reader of the books I could point out several things that were not in the movie, but honestly the movie was perfect the way it was and I think if the smaller missing parts would have been included, I don't know if it would have had the same flow and fast pace.  I also thought the parts which were moved around or altered fit the movie perfectly and didn't seem to be out of place at all.  Really, I don't know if I would actually change anything about it as I think the movie worked well and contained everything it needed to cover the important parts of the book.  

Twilight, action, vampire and werewolves fans will love/like this movie.  Even some high adrenaline action fans may like it, but it just depends if they can handle the gushy romantic parts.  Sci-fi fans will probably not like this movie, unless they are a secret Twilight/vampire/werewolve fan.
