When the movie first started, I was a little worried about the pace, but very quickly, that changed.
As a reader of the books (and I'm 40), I loved the movie and thought they did a great job. I wondered if a non-Twilight fan would enjoy it as much and the answer is yes... my husband went with us to the 11:59 showing last night and he enjoyed it too.
Taylor Lautner makes this Team Edward fan seriously reconsider. The werewolves were AMAZING!
