I actually liked Twilight, but disliked New Moon. (Except I liked that it was more Jacob-centric. I really kind of can't stand Edward and like that Bella sort of has some semblance to spunk when she's around Jacob.)
Stylistically, I thought the first movie was all-around more pleasing to look at.
Maybe you're like me, but I'm one of those people who will like something until it gets ridiculously popular. When I read the first two books of the series, it hadn't yet reached its crescendo of teen fanaticism. Once it did, I felt embarrassed that I liked it.
I think the books have a lot of flaws and I absolutely hated the last one, but the one thing I will give Meyer kudos for is making it "cool" for teenagers to read.
P.S. I picked up on your homage to Duran Duran! <3
