If you have read the book, you will love the movie. I am in my mid 40's and got into the Twilight series when my daughter started reading them and we are both huge Twilight fans. We loved the movie....all of the characters were perfectly casted. My husband went too and had not read the books and was confused in some of it. It definitely helps if you know the story because it all goes so fast. When the 2 hours were over I couldn't believe it. We went to the midnight show Thursday night and at the theatre I went to there were 3 sold out theatres. I highly recommend seeing this and plan to see it again.
