Don't read the bad reviews until you watch and decide for yourself-there's a lot of good story here.

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2018)

The good thing about the "Twilight" series is, if you like the first one, you will probably like the sequels. The same pace, story elements, and character development is similarly good in all of them. And this third sequel really makes the story bloom. All the elements of the first two "Twilight" movies are here - the vampires, werewolves, and "Volturi" (sort of like the Vatican for vampires) are thrown into the mix along with a lot of new characters and story points. If you haven't seen any of the other movies what I'm about to say won't make sense, but it's a good idea to watch at least one of the preceding "Twilight" films and preferably both before trying to take in this one.
Bella has decided that she wants to make the "change" (become a vampire) to be with Edward til the literal end of time (as vampires are immortal and stay the age they were when they changed). But of course, there are plenty of problems. Bella needs Jakob (her friend from Twilight 2 and a rival to Edward for Bella's affections) to guard her from some other rogue vampires (we find they are called "newborns" as they are freshly turned vampires). The newborns are massacring people in Seattle and drawing too much attention to the "cold ones" (Vampires). So the Volturi (vampire grand leaders in Italy) are coming to resolve the matter, either by diplomacy or violence. This creates a dilemna for Bella and Edward, as the Volturi spared Edward and Bella's lives only when she promised to make the change... and if they come to Seattle, they may discover that Bella violated her promise and is still human, drawing their deadly wrath. The meeting of the minds (the Cullens) at 1:20 is something I found very entertaining, as the Cullens pool their intellects and visions (another vampire power) to quickly decide on how to deal with the newborns and Volturi...
I found this movie just as entertaining as Twilight 1 and 2. Suffice to say, if you loved either of those movies, you will almost certainly enjoy this one. Let the haters be damned, I really enjoy the Twilight series.
