Went w/range between the ages of 25-38. My sister has not read the books but did see Twilight. I asked her opinion from a non-reader point of view. She really liked it regardless of reading the books. My friend's boyfriend not really being a fan but due to the werewolves he gave it a chance. He liked it also. Special effects 100% improvement. No more running legs in mid air. Not a fan of cgi but these wolves looked great! Taylor did a great job with the emotional & growing up part. I'm happy he took the beefing up part seriously and kept his role. I can't wait for the rest of the movies. This one happened to come out on my birthday, what a great gift. Humor, action, love, drama, it had it all!! ^^vv^^
