I took my daughter to Twilight and to New Moon. She has read all of the books several times over and she said this movie followed the book much better. She absolutely loved it. I think if you can get over all of the teenage angst and brooding then you'll enjoy this movie. It was nice to look at both shirtless guys and I will have to say watching these movies has really made me want to read the books. Overall I did like this movie and hope that my daughter will still like the series when the next movie comes out.
