The best attempt to tie everything together, except for Eclipse

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2012)

The film was great, had more varied characters, had more insight into the mythology, and showed more of a living reality of the series. It wasn't perfect, a few minor tweaks would have made the film a bit better - Nahuel's style choice etc. Lol. All in all this gave a stunning happy ever after to a series that rivalled the following of Harry Potter, but most importantly, showed that indie films that have small beginnings, can develop, and with enough care, can capture the attention of a generation.
A valid *attempt* to improve everything that the series had offered previously, and if you're willing to see it's value, you won't regret having been a fan of the series. The casting for me was one of the best aspects of the movie, really diversified the field, lowest point was that Mackenzie didn't have many lines, and that the cgi for Renesmee and a lot of the action was a bit lacking - like vampire speed etc.
PS I will even admit that I shed a tear at THAT omg moment :)
Go here for full criticism of details etc.
