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?'
SquigglyCrunch Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 follows Bella as word gets out about her new child. When the authorities begin to believe that the child is a threat, the Cullens set out to help prove otherwise and to avoid a confrontation with said authorities. Surprisingly I actually kind of liked this movie. I thought it had some really cool ideas. While they weren't always presented super well, like the twist ending, they were interesting. If the movies beforehand had been better then I might have actually liked this movie more. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. On top of that the soundtrack was actually pretty good. I was surprised to hear songs that both fit the scene they were placed in and just sounded nice anyway. If only the movie had put as much effort into the soundtrack as everything else. However, this movie still isn't very well-made. To start, the special effects still suck. It's actually really noticeable by this point. The baby was made from CGI for some stupid reason, and it looked awful. It looked like someone had taken a cutout of Mackenzie Foy's face and just glued it over another kid's face. Even when she grows up it looks fake. There's this obvious change when the CGI child was replaced by an actual child actor, and after that it was much better. It was kind of hilarious that the CGI child thing went on so long though. And the wolves, wow, those looked terrible. Maybe on their own they're okay, but when put side-by-side with actual people it was just awful. There were a lot of other parts of the movie that were just kind of really stupid. Little nitpicks here and there. Eventually they do add up and I have to stop ignoring them. A lot of new characters were introduced into this movie, and a lot of them weren't given any more screen time than their introductions. This is fine and all, but some of them were given slightly more screen time than the others, and then somehow we were expected to care about them. There's this weird romance that starts between two of these expendables, yet we only see the two character together once before they promise to be together forever. Kind of like Edward and Bella's relationship I guess. Regardless, it's a rushed relationship that we as an audience are expected to care about despite being given no reason to do so. At this point I can't even tell if the actors are bad or if I've lowered my expectations so low that at this point they seem passable. Regardless of which one it is, Kristen Stewart still isn't that great. It's easier to watch Taylor Lautner now than it is her. While her performance isn't unbearable, it's still one of the worst in the movie. Overall Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is, while the best of the Twilight saga, still an incapably made movie. Most aspects don't exceed a level beyond average, and many fall far below it. However, there were a couple moments of blind luck when this movie dared to step, or maybe stumbled, over the average line and surprised us all, only to fall flat on it's face yet again. This movie is sort of like vanilla ice cream with bits of poop here and there. It's a bland flavor, sure, but it's still tasty. Sure there's poop every few licks, but for the most part it's just a decent ice cream cone. In the end I would only recommend this movie if you liked the previous ones or are contemplating whether or not it's worth it to finish the series. This is the shortest of the saga, and it's the best, so you might as well.
wista prima I don't't know it's too late to make a review or not but to be honest I just started to be a fan of Twilight Saga. And I don't't understand why most of the reviewers said bad things about Twilight *I'm talking about all Twilight movies. I didn't get it. Seriously it's very interesting movie for me and for some people at least Twilight still has big fans around the world. The movies were very unique. It's not just an usual love story like others love story movies but they mixed it up with more fictions, fantasy, mystery and horror story that made the movies were just incredible and brilliant. With that fantasy about a beautiful vampire with all their specializes it made some people especially the women *in my case* scream like Oh my God and Wow while watching the movies. Of course I've been trapped in an imagination about how handsome Robert Pattinson Is. That's the additional interesting thing about Twilight. The cast were just awesome especially Rob and Kris they had perfect chemistry in the movies. And I just don't't understand why most of the people hate it. All I want to tell is It's very awesome movies. try to love it.
tankace Before 50 shades of awfulness, this series was the most hated thing in cinema and I am going to say that it deserve every small or big hate that it took and I am one of the persons ,who hate it with a rage of a thousands Suns!! To start the characters are dumber than a spoiled tomato ( I wanted to use worse language ,but the IMDb program does not allow that, whatever) and the pedophilia of the alpaca (Jacob) is disguising to say the least, the effects are bad beyond the point of hilarious and to the point of being bored to death. To skip a lot of things the final battle against the loser cousin of count Dracula in the end it did not (spoilers!!!!!!!) happened ,I mean even the movie of the Ninja Turtules of 2014 although the first third is stupid ,the final battle is cool and close the story in a at least satisfied manner (for real the last 30 minutes are awesome). I remember went I try to watch the first Twillight and after I was close to kill myself , likely I passed the shock with a nice shower and really to see the water on the floor was a more fun experience form these movies all together. Now to the final part is this "saga" the worst thing ever, in my point of view the man of the Channel of Awesomeness said it better is the worst thing of the past decade and for the persons over 30 this is the worst product of entertainment of their life ,but do not fear we homo sapiens are quit good at making bad thing ( genocides, economic crashes, these movies, colonization, world wars and 50 shades) every generation will have this one product of out culture which will be bad in every way possible. And if you are someone who like it, dude what in the name of Lucifer is wrong with you! In the end this is the worst box office franchise of the first two decades of the new millennial and its awfulness will live in infamy. Let us all remember it in order to prepare ourselves for the next strike ,went a person decides to capitalize to something which teenagers will fall in love ,but afterwords will find out what silly they were.
