My daughter and I have waited a long time for this movie, so we had high expectations. We saw the midnight show last night in a very lively, crowded theater. I am so surprised and relieved to saw it EXCEEDED all my hopes...Edward was beyond words, and the chemesrty between Edward and Bella was great. I would have to saw that you should definitely READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU SEE THE MOVIE. I wish I could be a Cullen....
