I took my two teenage daughters and we had a blast at the midnight showing! I have not read the books so I really did not know what to expect. I thought the experience was great and the movie help my interest. I was so sad or Bella as the director did an amazing job letting us experience her sadness and depression about Edward leaving her. It was action packed, funny and still had the love thing going on. Oh and in the theater when Jacob pulled his shirt off...there were screams and "Oh My Goshes" everywhere. I think even the very few men that went were just as thrilled too. It was GREAT!! I will probably go to the hteater again to see it and take others that normally would not see that kind of movie.
