For someone like me, who was very disappointed with the first movie, I thought 'New Moon' was completely awesome! It went by the book really well. I was worried before the movie came out that NOTHING was going to be like the book. But it was really spot on. I mean, of course they added a few things, and took out a few things. But all the most important scene were in there from the book. And a little more. So I really think a lot of people would enjoy this movie, even if you haven't seen the first one. :)
