I was pleasantly surprised by New Moon. I was so happy the movie stuck so closely to the book. I was not happy initially with the recasting of Taylor Lautner but I think he did a great job in his portrayal of Jacob. The movie was well worth the wait.
I saw Twilight before ever reading the book and I think that's one reason I love the movie even more than my friends. After reading the book I began to see things I wished were different based on happenings in the book. That being said, my love for this movie has not dwindled at all.
