The absolute best of the worst!

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2012)

I NEVER write reviews for movies unless there is a dire need for it, and for this particular film I feel one is required. Let me just say that I have been a strong Anti-Twilight believer since it started. The books were terrible as well as the films. But I continued to watch them just I would have something I could poke fun at. I saw this tonight and leaving the theater I was nearly speechless and it kills me to say I actually enjoyed it to an extent.
I'll start with the acting which seems to have improved since the first installment of the series. It is still a bit flaky but has definitely been worse. The makeup however is annoying in the sense that it seems to change dramatically in between each movie. There is no consistency whatsoever. The hair color is always changing as is the intensity of the "pale-face" look. The Cullens looked especially unusual looking than normal; Esme looked like a big toe in my opinion. Furthermore the special effects have not changed and were shameful considering the advancement of today's technology.
But despite all of the flaws here is why I gave it a 7 out of 10; the plot twist was absolutely, undoubtedly spectacular. It was brilliant and completely unexpected and the whole theater gasped in shock. This was a huge milestone for any production, especially for Twilight as the standards are not exactly sky high. I would also like to note the last scene with Bella and Edward left you with a satisfactory, tickled pink feeling. And lastly I would like to commend whoever is responsible for the credits because that was very thoughtful and shows their appreciation for the cast; even those who were not apart of this last installment. So overall, I would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to give this film a chance, because even I who have been skeptical since the beginning, left the building pleasantly surprised.
