I took my daughter and her friend 15 and 17 to see the opening night of the movie I knew very little about the story beyond it had a cute guy and he was a vampire. The movie blew me away, I am a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan and this had some of the same attention grabbing moments as they did. Not quite the same depth they were but it was not a boring sit through this for the girls movie, made me want to go and read all four books. Edward is a complex charactor that draws you in and makes you want to know more. You actually are hoping that Bella gets bit so she can stay with her love. A great watch plan to see it again in the theater.
