Just wanted to comment that here in Hawaii the first showing was at FOUR A.M.! Yes, that's right: 4:00 in the morning! Unreal. After reading Twilight and seeing the movie, I am Team Edward. Somehow it's just creepy for me to be Team Jacob knowing I'm old enough to be Taylor Lautner's mom (I'm 41). OK, so I'm technically old enough to be Robert Pattinson's mother as well, but at least he's of legal age. ;) Oh, and CeeCee? Taylor Lautner *is* Sharkboy! My 8 year old loves that movie and I never made the connection. Good eye! I haven’t finished reading New Moon yet so I am going to wait for the DVD.

LOVED IT!!! Every second!! Honestly, it was so good at sticking close to the books that I didn't feel cheated at all!! (Did a little bit after the Twilight movie...) The acting was MUCH better and I didn't feel a loss of Edward as they gave us much more Edward/Bella interaction in the beginning than I was expecting! AND they added in a lot more humor - not true to the book, but it was primarily with the humans, so who cares? The Jessica character was hysterical, and who doesn't feel bad for "Mike"? Jacob was great, yes, and the almost-kissing tension was FANTASTIC, but my hearts still belongs to Edward. His "shirt off" scene did pretty much nothing for me, but it doesn't matter because his character is just so great. Love him. LOVED THE ENDING! Am I too into this? Oh yea, and loving it. :-) Saw it.

It was greatness and I loved it! Cheesy? Yep, but I've accepted my nerdiness and enjoyed every second! Got home and downloaded the Twilight Saga to my Kindle and can't wait to reread Eclipse to get ready for the next movie! Love me so Edward...mmmm...

I'm Team Edward in the books, but I have to admit I'm Team Jacob for this movie!! Hottie hotness, especially after he cuts his hair. The best way to see this film is at theater that serves booze and food - no screaming teenagers.

My kids have that movie memorized. I remember the first time I saw that kid I thought he was gonna be gorgeous when he grew up- but I had NO IDEA he would turn into THAT!!!!! Admittedly, the whole "Twilight". genre bores me so I'm unfamiliar with all of it. Sorry! But now I do understand the frenzy if that is what they show on a big screen! Wow!

Bad acting? So much the better! Teenage angst is SO entertaining. Haven’t seen it yet, but I am already planning on seeing it twice because I totally embrace the cheese and the lameness of it all.
