We saw the movie on the Ultrascreen and the whole family enjoyed it. I wouldn't put it up there with E.T., but it was one of the better movies I have seen. There was a lot of action and a cute story line and the kids did a great job to carry the movie. The story line was a bit far-fetched, but it IS a sci-fi movie. I go to the movies to escape reality. The soundtrack was good and brought me back to my middle school years. Stay through the credits to watch the "super-8" movie.
I loved the books and the movie was very true to the book. The chemistry between Bella and Edward was electrifying. Edward is HOT and whether you are 17 or 77 you will love him and this story. The movie left me wanting more. I can't wait for New Moon!
