Full Disclosure: I am one of those fans who devoured the books, loved the last movie, and no surprise enjoyed this one as well. Drew me back into the Bella-Jacob-Edward love triangle and made me remember why I was so firmly Team Jacob. The werewolf part of the story definitely dominates (the Cullens got nothing on the hot, half-dressed native American wolfpack). Would like to say it stands on its own but not sure non-fans and newbies will agree. Whatever - can't wait for Part III.
