I took my tweens to see the movie. One had read the books the other had not. The one who had not was hooked and absolutely loved it. The other daughter and I were a little disappointed that they had left out what we thought were important character traits. We do hope that if there are sequels that they improve the Cullens make up. Carlyle needed help! And better special effects would be nice. Overall we enjoyed the movie and will probably see it again!!
