Five of us went to see a preview screening of Twilight Eclipse this morning and it was fantastic!!
The friends that I went with are all mahoosive fans but as much as I enjoy the Twlight franchise, I wouldn't really call myself a Twi-hard (apparently a term for Twilight obsessives?!). I loved the first book and movie but I'm still roughly only halfway through reading New Moon, and only watched the NM DVD last night because I didn't want to be completely lost watching Eclipse!
However, I couldn't help but to be swept along in the hysteria sitting in a cinema full of baying Twi-hard women wearing various Team Edward / Team Jacob (delete as apropriate) tees etc. and man, those women love their Twilight!!
I say women (plus around three long-suffering boyfriends/husbands!) because the ratio was around 2:1 in favour of the over 40's, which really surprised me. I thought that was really cool actually... when I get excited about a new Harry Potter movie, my friends and I are usually the oldest there if you don't count those taking their children along!
I'm not going to give anything away because I know many UK fans won't be lucky enough to be able go to a preview (we booked our tickets on 17th June!), and it doesn't officially open here until Friday, 9th July.
What I will tell you is this:
Yes, there was clapping and cheering, yes there were audible appreciative sighs when Jacob Black appeared shirtless for the first time (helloooo Taylor Lautner!), yes I now want a pet wolf and yes my heart still belongs to Rob Pattinson.
Would I see it again / buy the DVD? Oh yes!
Am I still 100% Team Edward? Hmmm... the jury's out.
Mr Pattinson is bloomin' gorgeous though. That is all.
