I didn't get into the Twilight saga until after the first movie had came out. I did read all of the books before watching the first movie. The books are awesome and just suck you in. The movies do the same. This movie was even better than the first one. The audience reaction when Jacob takes off his shirt for the first time was priceless. I loved the movie and thought it was one of the best book to movie adaptations I have ever seen. I will definately buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. I am disappointed that we have to wait two more years until the third movie comes out.
