While New Moon was definitely better than Twilight, I still wasn't all that impressed. It stayed pretty true to the book, but it jumped around a lot and left many details out that were important. There were some pretty "cheesy" parts in it...but not nearly as many as were in Twilight. I would obviously recommend this movie to anyone who has read the book, but most likely would not recommend to someone who has not had the true literary Twilight Saga experience.
