A Twilight film I actually LIKE:)

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2012)

This picks right off where Part 1 took off. Bella (Kristen Stewart) gave birth to a baby right before she was changed (into a vampire) by husband Edward (Robert Pattinson). Everything is fine but then the Volturi hear about the baby being half vampire/half human and fear that it is an abomination that must be destroyed. They travel to the USA to deal with it while the Cullens get vampires from all over on their side to help them.
OK--this could have been easily done in one film. Like part 1 this film moves VERY slowly and, has subplots that lead to nowhere and has quite a few needless song montages. Also Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner give horrible performances, Michael Sheen overacts to an embarrassing degree and the dialogue is terrible and this doesn't make a lot of sense. Still I liked it a LOT! The cinematography is beautiful (especially on a wide screen), except for Lautner and Stewart the acting is great and there's a fantastic final battle that easily makes up for all the problems the film has. It's long, violent and brutal--my audience (composed of mostly teenage girls) LOVED it. So not a great movie but the beautiful cinematography and final battle made it worth seeing.
