Best of The Series!

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2012)

Firstly i must stress that i am NOT a fan of the series. I found the first movie as dull as dish water and didn't start watching it until the third one, despite my hubby doing his best to make me go to the cinema with him lol. I found the third one 'enjoyable', the fourth pretty good and this one AMAZING!
The story starts off right at the end of the last (which makes a nice change compared to others). Bella has just come back to life and is stood in front of a mirror looking at her 'new self'. She explores her new found strength and speed for a little before wanting to meet her daughter. Here is why i gave the movie a 9 instead a 10 because the baby is so obviously cgi and reminded me of the baby ape in the latest Planet of the Apes. I understand why they had to use a cgi baby over a real one, because of how she communicates with others which they probably wouldn't have got a real baby to do but i personally feel it let the movie down.
As Renesmee grows Bella takes her out to play in the snow where Edward's cousin see's Renesmee jump 10ft in the air to catch a snowflake and assumes she is an 'imortal', a child that has been turned into a vampire which is apparently the most evil of evil and then tells the Volturi who decides to kill Renesmee and the entire Cullen family. And so the action starts.
I won't give away what happens but there is a massive shock in store for you all when the battle ensues. I will just say, don't believe everything you see! At this point everyone within my screening gasped in shock and actually applauded which was kind of funny lol.
As usual, with the exception of baby Renesmee the SFX was impeccable and the love which is clearly very real between Bella and Edward and something we all dream of happening to us.
I personally thought that not only is this film the best of the series but also the best movie i've seen this year...and i go to the cinema 2 or 3 times a month! You don't need to be a fan to enjoy this but if you are a fan then i have no doubt you'll love it. For those posting negative reviews i would say that they take things far too seriously. You should NEVER go to see a movie with expectations but instead if you go with the intent of just 'going to see a movie' then you'll enjoy it much more!
