I enjoyed this movie very much. It helps to have read the book. This book was the least favorite in the series for me. I would highly recommend reading the book to get a full understanding, though. You won't find the love story that you found in the 1st one - but there is some action which is nice and a great friendship that develops with the Jacob and Bella. Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart did a very good job in this movie.
