On fan, named Emily, sent a review of the movie to EclipseMovie.org and wrote, “David Slade did an amazing job, his shots and fight scenes were amazingly done. By far the best yet. They stayed completely true to the book – this had the most direct and almost direct quotes andddd LOTS of making out!! Very Edward and Bella focused which was great!”

She went on to say that Jasper Cullen (played by Jackson Rathbone) is the breakout role of the movie.
