I was very pleased that the movie lived up to my expectations! I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Although it may seem slow in some parts, viewers have to remember that believe it or not, not everyone has read the books (shocking I know!) so they do need to do the back story. There are a few chuckles here and there on character's "looks" they give others but i cannot even begin to tell you how great this movie is.
Be prepared for the younger crowd to do a few screams when any Cullen or Jacob walks on the screen. Even with that going on, still WAY worth it to see it!
