Probably the worst Twilight movie

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2012)

Breaking Dawn Part 2 is probably the worst of all 4 Twilight movies or, at least, the least enjoyable. I rate it that way mostly due to poor acting (even worse than in the previous 3 installments), low-budget B-movie special effects and Bill Condon's quick-paced, often abrupt editing that gives us a bad patchwork of scenes that are disconnected in time and space. Not even the soundtrack (usually the high point in any Twilight series) could save the movie this time ! Having said that, the now infamous plot twist at the end was actually clever. It gave a plausible explanation to why the movie ends as the book does (in the book itself, it made no reasonable sense at all). If the twist had actually turned out to be real, the finale would have been even better, but I guess it would have been too much for the die-hard fans who would have complained about how the movie diverged from the novel.
Of course, in the end, the chick flick dream comes true: Bella and Edward, Jacob and Nessie (plus Alice/Jasper, Rosalie/Emmett, Carlisle/Esme, etc.) happily together "forever", the last word before the final credits, which deservingly mention all actors involved in the 4-part series. And, as a commercial plus, the finale is open-ended enough to allow Ms. Meyer and/or Summit Entertainment to re-visit these characters any time they want to. After all, "forever" is a long time. They might just need to recast the lead actors !
