My daughter and I saw this movie on Friday 11/20. We both loved the movie. As in most cases, the movie will never be as good as the book, becasue movies can't always put in the little things that make the story line, but there is still a lot to enjoy of this movie. I think so many people get caught up trying to compare everything that they just forget to be entertained. I was entertained for 2 hours. I am having so much fun with this. I can't wait for the 3rd installment and sincerly hope that there will be a 4th installment. It just takes the vampire legend and completely re-writes it. I am in my 50's and my daughter is in her 30's. There is something for everyone.
