We’ve seen it twice.  I haven’t seen a movie in the theater more than once since Jurassic Park. (Joel McHale does it best.)

I’ve found (from talking to friends) that if you’ve read the books, you go completely insane over it.  If you haven’t, you don’t know what the big deal is.

I particularly wanted a lot more of the Cullen family than the movie gives, because they’re a much bigger and more interesting part than the movie is able to show.  But there are a lot of specific details in the movie that you can only really appreciate if you’ve read the books, like how Bella doesn’t look at Edward when she has to answer him, and it just feels great to be able to recognize these details and see how close to the book they actually stayed.  I found myself watching the Cullens in the background — as often as not, they’re doing something interesting instead of just standing there.

Alex-husband appreciated the music in particular.  They really made some great choices.

When it comes out on DVD, we’re getting the BlueRay/Hi-Def version… even though we don’t have anything to play it on.
