Just when you think it can't get any worse....

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2013)

I went with my 13 year old step daughter to see this movie. She is a die hard Twilight fan with all the books, I have seen the other movies and wasn't really impressed but I could see why a 13 year old girl would like them. So I went into this thinking well it can't be any worse than Breaking Dawn part One or Eclipse. I was so wrong.
I enjoy fantasy movies, and can usually go along with bizarre story lines when there are accompanied by great acting. That's where this series loses it. Kristen Stewart looks like a severely depressed junkie and in every shot the same blank expression is on her face. When Jacob reveals to Bella that he has imprinted on her infant she is a little upset but pretty much lets it go. Are you kidding me?! The guy you almost left Edward for just told you he is in love with your newborn daughter and that's not weird? So her daughter has no choice in this bestiality marriage? Then here comes Edward, who just allowed this to happen to his daughter, he almost seems pleased with this idea. I wanted to punch him. The fact that I was able to stay awake after this ridiculous turn of events is a miracle. Also, I agree with everyone that says the CGI face on the baby was awful and unnecessary. Then, Bella's poor Dad is cheated out of a relationship with his granddaughter because the vampires have to lie to everyone. Fast forward through the terrible scenes where the vampires can run fast in the forest(so stupid) and you find out they are going to assemble some type of vampire dream team to convince the evil leaders that the hybrid kid isn't a danger to anyone. If these people really wanted her dead why didn't they just run over there flash style and steal that kid in the night? Instead they are going to take their sweet time so the Cullens can get back up and meet them on the battlefield. OK so if you believe all of that, the "twist" isn't really a surprise. Dakota Fanning was the same character as always. Aro was the only one that seemed to be trying to get into character. I felt cheated after they revealed the battle was a vision. It made much more sense for there to actually be a fight. The vision lady could have just fast forwarded that whole scene to the end where Aro sees he's going to die. Problem solved.
Most of this movie just felt like an effort to get terrible actors screen time without telling a real story. I agree the series could have been three movies if not two. My vote for the most overrated series of all time. My only prayer is that this franchise loses it's momentum after this and we can stop seeing twilight merch everywhere.
