Actually, the end is surprisingly good!

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2013)

If you read my former Twilight reviews, you'll see I rated them 6-3-3-2. I rated this one 8! Yeah, I realise it's surprising!
Actually, I thought there was a lot of good action in this movie. I had no idea what the last part would be about as I didn't read the books (thank God!) and I was getting quite bored with the sick romantic triangle in these series.
BUT, this final part is actually interesting. I think the ending is really original in fact! I'm starting to think this could have been a really good trilogy! Improve the first movie (take another leading actress for one); make one good movie out of New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn Part I and add the final epic conclusion and this would really be a decent fantasy trilogy.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and this proves that you don't have to LOVE OR HATE an entire series. It's very well possible you like some of the movies and dislike others. The most important part is that you're true to yourself and not 'ruminating' other people's opinion. And I honestly have to admit I really enjoyed this movie, despite the really disappointing previous clutter about plucking daisy leaves: "He loves me. He loves me not. I love him. I love the other too. I don't love him. Oh, crap, I love them both. Whatever, I just love myself."
It may sound corny but I actually thought it a great and interesting solution to have the great epic battle, loose all the characters you care about (that are obviously not the main character) and then have that twist where everything still ends satisfactory.
So my advice is: Watch the first movie with friends, then ask people what happens in the next three ones and then watch the last part. :-)
