I personally thought the movie was great. I liked it way better than the first Twilight movie, but I think it's because it follows the book much closer than the first one. If you loved the second book as much as I did, then you will absolutely love the movie. I highly reccommend seeing it. My 50 year old mother has never read the books but loves to movies. So either way if you've read the books or not, it's a great movie all around. At least in my opinion.
