'Twilight: Eclipse' has arrived; should you care?

The werewolf (Taylor Lautner), the girl (Kristen Stewart) and the vampire (Robert Pattinson) of "Twilight" are back on movie screens. (Summit Entertainment)

As second sequels (or the third installment in a movie franchise) go, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" can't hold a pull-string to "Toy Story 3" when it comes to entertainment or quality, or story, or performer talent, or production value, or directing or yada, yada, yada.

The "Twilight" 100-year-old-vampire-boy-meets-small-town-Washington-state-moody-girl yarn has something else going for it, of course. It's a pop culture phenom in full, teen-girls-waiting-in-line-for-hours-for-a-midnight-screening bloom.

Should you invest your time, your money and/or your teenager's tender emotions?
