This film is based off Twilight: Breaking Dawn written by Stephenie Meyer, and is the second part to Breaking Dawn pt. 1. Bella Swan/Cullen has become a newborn vampire with a dhampire child. Bella awakens to her new family and her new vampiric powers. The Volturi still attempt to destroy the Cullen family. It forces the Cullen's to ask other families for assistance.
This film was directed by Bill Condon, who also directed part 1 of this film. This film runs 115 minutes, and the first runs 117 minutes-making it pointless to have this film split into two parts. Both films are rushed, and it is more evident in this film. I will confess, having read the novel, my heart stopped at the beginning of the ending. After the climax battle, it returned. It remains true to the popular novels. It was a very clever tactic. Keeping fans of the novels happy, and keeps fans from feeling cheated. The opening and ending credits were awesome. I loved the use of the red and white colors for the opening. I also loved the ending credits showing the cast from all the films. The vampire effects were well done, and I was glad that the sparkling effect was kept simple. The Volturi still remain bad-ass, and Jane becomes the greatest villain of all time. It is unfortunate that it didn't include her backstory in the film. This film's story does open the world for so much more, and it is present in the film. However, since it is rushed the world isn't as expanded as it could have been. There is also a lack of deep character relationships. The ending battle scene was amazingly well done. It slowed when it needed to, and kept plenty of non-gore action. This film is not gory, but it does have violence. It does contain some sexual content though.
The cast worked great together. Kristen Stewart played the role of Isabella Swan/Cullen. She was good in her role. She kept her expressions limited, but she is improving. Robert Pattinson played the role of Edward Cullen. He was great in his role. Taylor Lautner played the role of Jacob Black. He was good in his role. He created a slight change in his connection with Bella. Mackenzie Foy played the role of Renesmee. She was good in her role. She was able to convey emotion through expressions instead of words. Ashley Greene played the role of Alice Cullen. She was great in her role. Kellan Lutz played the role of Emmet Cullen. He was good in his role. It was nice to see his character opened up. Michael Sheen played the role of Aro. He was great in his role. There was a few moments of over the topness. The laugh was purely creepy. Dakota Fanning played the role of Jane. She was amazing in her role. She really created a character that was frightening and sadistic. Maggie Grace played the role of Irina. She was good in her small role.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! This is a great romantic film that ends the popular franchise. However, it has been drawn out too far, and would only really captivate its die hard fans.
