If it didn't have the end it would be a train wreck of a film

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2013)

Now, i'm going to level with you. I'm a 17 year old boy and i am not ashamed one bit that i enjoy the Twilight saga. When i went to see this at the cinema i had high hopes, i haven't read the books so i had no idea what to expect. It carried straight on from the previous 'Breaking Dawn Part 1', which pleased me as we hadn't missed out on anything. Yes, Bella is a vampire now, Jacob doesn't want her anymore and Edward is still the same person (but he does smile a lot more in this movie!). The film is very slow to begin with, in fact i got up to use the toilet and i didn't miss anything. When Bella is exploring her new vampire capabilities, we get our first glimpse of the CGI the millions of dollars went on. Honestly, it is awful. It made me feel so disconnected from the film. I like to be drawn into the story and to get lost in the world of whatever i'm watching, but the CGI just continually reminded me i was in a cinema watching a film i've overpaid for. The film then spirals out of control with the Cullens getting into trouble with the Volturi. Then comes the moment all the guys who had been dragged to watch it by their girlfriends had been waiting for. The epic fight scene! Now i said this review contains spoilers, but you need to watch this for yourself. The fight is amazing, however the big plot twist made me want to throw whatever was left of my popcorn at the screen. The ending moment between Bella and Edward really made the film for me. I love the chemistry Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had through the whole saga, and we get to revisit that one last time, which i thought was a beautiful moment. Personally i thought the acting was quite good. Robert Pattinson plays the character how he sees it and to me, is the sign of an outstanding actor. Kristen Stewart, as moody as she may be, even managed to smile a bit in this! Taylor Lautner for me was the weakest, but he doesn't really have much of a part in this one, he always seems to be in 'Wolf Mode' or just starting people down. Overall a solid 5! Lot's could of been better, but the ending reminded me of the journey we have been on with these characters and i feel it wouldn't be right to give it anything less! Goodbye Twilight!
