Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

TheNabOwnzz Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is indeed the best entry to the Twilight Saga series, though admittedly this is not saying much. I guess the correct term for this one is that this one is 'The least terrible' of them all.Atleast after five movies the writers have finally given us a reason as to why Jacob Black is attracted to Bella, even though it doesn't make a lot of sense since the person Black imprinted on was not even close to being born for most of the Saga, but apparently werewolves can also predict the future without them knowing it. There still is no reason as to why Edward is attracted to her though, and as usual in a Twilight film there are a couple of terrible romantic scenes between them once again, although thankfully this was a lot less frequent when compared to Part 1. The opening title sequence was very good, partly due to the impressive score by Carter Burwell, but straight afterwards this is basically thrown overboard with a terrible vampire running scene with Bella and Edward which feature absolutely terrible CGI and abysmal looking greenscreens in the background like we were watching some kind of terrible videogame. The 'tough girl' Bella character just doesn't impress me. The scene when she raises her voice against Jacob is just laughable at best, since it is as is usual with Stewart such a forced expression that is visibly literally taken straight out of distant cue cards and spoken without any natural kind of conviction. The mother-daughter relationship that could have made this movie into something doesn't have any chemistry which is ofcourse the result of Kristen Stewart not being able to develop chemistry with whatever other human being on the planet anywhere.The entire narrative of the movie is basically one idiot vampire claiming false claims against the Cullen's & Bella for no apparent reason so a confrontation can be had with the Volturi ( Yeah, it is terrible writing, as is the whole series ), followed by the Cullen's gathering allies to convince them that it wasn't true, or otherwise make a stand against them if they do not listen. While all of this seems to be an irrelevant bunch of nonsense only there to fill up the running time, the final confrontation is definitely the best scene in the series. One of the biggest problems with the action sequences in the series is that it is lacking in any kind of tension since you know none of the good guys will die, but in the final battle this is changed drastically and a lot of the protagonists meet their demise in the battle against the Volturi's, resulting in possibly the only tense encounter in the entire series, because finally anything could happen. All the while this is accompanied by Carter Burwell's fantastic score and some gorgeous snowy cinematography, i admit i was quite starting to like it at this point. However, in the end it all turns out to be a vision created by Alice after which the supposed 'mighty Volturi' leave with their tail between their legs, and nothing ever happens. In the end you realize Twilight is still Twilight, and nothing holds any significance as nothing tragic can ever happen in this childish fairytale. There is never any real danger, or any real threat, and for a moment you thought this was gone in the battle sequence, after which the audience will be left severely disappointed. While it features an amazing score by Carter Burwell & a lot of gorgeous cinematograpy which is admittedly the best in the series ( Although also quite a lot of ugly greenscreening ), this movie's strength comes solely from it's battle sequence near the end, which ends up being an illusion, which in turn leaves you wondering: 'What the hell was the point of all this?'

Nikita Wannenburgh I really enjoyed this. The story benefited a lot from real conflict this time; a wonderful change from the Edward-Bella-Jacob love- triangle that has dominated the rest of the series. And like all Twilights, it has both pros and cons: The dialogue is weak and the script is mediocre. Despite some awkward and very bad CGI – like the baby Renesmee - the cinematography is admittedly decent, and there are strong and ultimately gorgeous presentations of family, friends, and marriage. Although the film starts off slow, the conflict is stronger and the tension builds to satisfying conclusion. The acting is pretty much the same. Taylor Lautner is awful – reinforcing the fact that he CANNOT act to save his life – Robert Pattinson is very good (I was really impressed with his performance) and Kristen Stewart - now a gorgeous vampire - is actually rather decent; although NOT when she's acting angry or "thirsty", in which case she's inconsistent and comes across very fake. Unfortunately, Bella as a vampire is also completely un-relatable, and coupled with her frequent bad acting, she definitely isn't much of an improvement from her usual human self; although the one good thing is that she actually fights this time, and isn't such a damsel. The supporting cast are the same as always – nods go to Billy Burke for being one of the best things about this series – but the real highlight is the awesome international cast that make up the Cullens' vampire friends. Unfortunately, it's these good actors – including Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning who play members of the Volturi - who get the small parts, yet they shine brilliantly whenever they are allowed some screen time. Undoubtedly, the epic end battle is the one thing that glows in this final Twilight. Essentially, it's exciting and emotionally gripping, with great acting from the supporting cast and Robert Pattinson. But despite being a great battle, it has flaws that most Twihards will probably miss, but anyone else not completely won over by the franchise will certainly not. The emotion is on point, thankfully, but the choreography is disgustingly stilted and slow, while acting from the leads (with a few exceptions) is frequently bad. Ashley Green – with the spotlight on her character Alice and her mate Jasper for a fair amount of time – acts shockingly badly with inconsistent, half- hearted emotion. This is very disappointing, considering the strength of her character and the fact that Alice's vampire husband gets killed; she simply should be delivering more. Unfortunately, this made me take Green's whole performance in the Saga into account, and conclude that she holds together a decent performance until emotion or depth comes her way; in just case, she fades out and comes across milky and halfhearted. The emotional scene with Jasper's death required a strong reaction, and she ultimately failed that one. The Saga does wrap up beautifully. We get gorgeous flowers, pretty words, and beautiful flashbacks to Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years"; our two gorgeous leads sit in the meadow and kiss with chemistry, finishing off the Saga perfectly. As a side note, Breaking Dawn Part 2 is literally telling us all to become vampires because heck, looks are all that matter and if it comes at the price of drinking blood, why not? I have to say they're off on that one, but becoming vampires is kinda not an option, so I'll stop worrying.

Aggie C. First, I'd like to say that this is my second time watching this movie after the buzz it created when I was still a teenager. I decided to give it another shot out of nostalgia and a boring Sunday.I have read enough reviews here to not repeat the overall sentiment that most people had watching this movie but I wanted to leave a couple of questions regarding the movie's general ability to think that its viewers are complete idiots:1.Does turning into a vampire just involve getting a new sultry eyeshadow look and a sense of style or is there more to that?2.If vampires are supposed to be pale and morbid looking then why on earth are the ones from the Amazon and Morrocco perfectly healthy looking? Also Sheen's foundation was definitely creasing and sooo obvious it was painful to watch.3.Why doesn't Bella's dad even budge on the fact that his daughter got married at 18, disappeared and then came back with a baby? And why didn't he turn up to their house previously asking where she was since they live down the road?4.Lastly, I don't understand how no one has mentioned this before: the vision of Alice (which I believe is not in the book) and essentially the most liked scene of the entire movie has no basis. Her power is about seeing the future and if the Volturi decided to not got through the whole killing thing then the vision that she has and shows shouldn't even exist in the first place right? This makes the whole scene even more irrelevant and a desperate move to finally put some action into a desperate movie.Finally, I don't particularly like any of the actors but I must say that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart looked a little bit more alive which made me think that they're really showing how happy they are to finish off the worst mistake of their career.

Moacir Fuhr I'm a huge fan of the series written by Stephenie Meyer, and I really think the first four films are really good. But in this movies many mistakes were made. serious mistakes that greatly compromised the quality of the film. First, all the visual effects of Renesmee, the half-vampire daughter, half-human Bella. I believe they were the worst visual effects I ever seen in my life. Another issue: many new characters appear in this film, and the director could not carry it to the screen in order to make them interesting. Not to mention that the South American vampire dress up as Indians, and not in a good way. They were quite ridiculous. And finally the final scene with the meeting of all vampires. I saw the documentary of the production. These scenes were shot over several weeks in a gigantic studio set. The fact is that all vampires were in serious trouble in the makeup during this sequence, I don't know if because there was a change in the light, for coloring of the scenes or what it was. But the appearance of vampires was plastic and very ugly. I could go on citing defects in this film, it is difficult to find many qualities indeed. The film fails to capture the magic of the other films. But I still think the final action scene saved the movie a little.
