I went with a diverse group of individuals-- some obsessed fans of the book saga, some completely uninterested in the books or the movie. Really everyone came out of the theater with the same thoughts-- IT WAS AWESOME! The casting was done remarkably well, and of course Edward was as dreamy as depicted in the book. For non readers-- it had every gripping emotion in the film to keep you entertained: romance, comedy, action, and fear. Job well done in my opinion!! Will wait patiently for the next movie!
