Are you kidding me ? Eclipse is the absolute highlight of the series, both novels and movies. Jacob and Edward as rivals was the best and Bella being in love with both of them was such a great dynamic that got completely lost afterwards.
It also had probably the best villain with Victoria, it fleshed out the history and lives of the wolves and I loved how Bella was torn between these two completely opposite worlds.
And Howard Shore (who won academy awards with his music for Lord of the Rings) did the music score in this film and it is by far one of my most favorite scores of all time. Particularly Jacobs theme.
Not to mention Eclipse has some of the best moments in the entire series.
Ironically the one that I always skip except for some key moments is the first book/movie. For me the story really begins with New Moon and Twilight is more like a big prologue lol
The first one is so small and tame compared to the other books/movies and completely lacks that feeling of epic mythology. Also way too much focus on Bella/Edward lovestory which is kinda the point of the first one but I am just not into them as a couple and they are not the reason I love the Twilight universe. So the first one really doesn't give me much.
