The heightened tension of the love story -- mixed with killer fight sequences -- make "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" the best film so far in the series.

The film, based on Stephenie Meyer's third book, works equally as a love story and action film because of first-rate work by director David Slade.

The love story continues the fight for the affections of Bella (Kristen Stewart) by her vampire love Edward (Robert Pattinson) and hopeless suitor Jacob (Taylor Lautner).

Slade manages to find time for all of the angles of this triangle to play out. The mix of serious tone and light comedy makes the romance interesting.
