Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
When it comes to Twilight, there is a point where one must either make the conscious decision to abandon the series forever or break from reality and commit to this uniquely weird supernatural romance once and for all. If the former is chosen, life goes back to normal. Otherwise, life still goes back to normal, but only by default. Pretty much everything is normal compared to a world where vampires sparkle in the sun, the undead procreate with the living, Renesmee is a real name, and creating an impenetrable force field with the power of love is actually possible. Whether novel or film, Breaking Dawn means letting go and embracing the madness. Widely considered the most controversial book of the series, fans continue to debate if Twilight author Stephenie Meyer went in the right direction while writing Breaking Dawn. Bill Condon the Oscar-winning director of Dreamgirls had a difficult task in adapting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, in which protagonists Edward Cullen Robert Pattinson and Bella Swan Kristen Stewart left the complexities of high-school romance behind for those of marriage. They had intimacy issues Edward had difficulty refraining from accidentally killing Bella during sex. They butted heads over Bella's unexpected pregnancy the baby was unable to refrain from accidentally killing Bella during birth. The tone was relentlessly serious, but the tale was more ridiculous than ever. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 isn't really like that, and works all the better for it. One of the biggest reasons for that improvement is that Bella has finally become a vampire. Baby Renesmee successfully killed her during birth thanks, Renesmee!, breaking her spine and presumably removing the stick that has been up Bella's you-know-where for so long. Kristen Stewart, no longer playing a passive, depressed schoolgirl, is allowed to be funny. Now that she isn't faced with choosing between the two hottest guys in school and pesky issues of mortality, Bella is a lot more fun to watch. The same can be said for Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Everything feels so much lighter this time around. In contrast to previous installments, in which the story was prone to angst-related slackness Bella's grief coma comes to mind, this film's only real pacing problem is the Cullen family's rather lengthy period of domestic bliss. The story picks up again when the Volturi -- a sort of vampire monarchy -- hear news of Renesmee's existence. Under the mistaken impression that the girl is an immortal child that is, a child who was bitten and turned into a vampire too young to be able to control its killing urges, and thus threatens to expose the existence of bloodsuckers to humans, the Volturi plan to slaughter the entire Cullen clan for egregiously breaking the law. When Alice Ashley Greene gets wind of this via a psychic vision, the Cullens decide to assemble an army of vampires that can hold back the Volturi long enough to explain that Renesmee is a human/vampire hybrid and does not pose the same danger. As it turns out, there are pro-Cullen, albeit non-"vegetarian," vampires around the world, each with their own unabashedly clichéd sense of style. Rather than take itself too seriously, the gathering of the vampires is a conscious, unbridled display of campiness that falls just short of a 1980s sports-drama montage. Somehow, it works. Although the film follows the novel relatively faithfully, the finale deviates from the original story in a truly outrageous way that needs to be seen to be believed and will undoubtedly have its naysayers. Yet it remains true to the books by being entertaining in spite of itself. Condon, the cast, and the crew of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 have made something they can be proud of.

    Movie is great-Barnes & Noble Sucks!

    Movie was preordered. When released, preorder was "out of stock" while retail stores had it on the shelves. Multiple chat messages, emails, and phone calls to correct the situation. Was promised a $5 gift card to appease, was not sent that either. When questioned after the movie arrived, was told they had "fulfilled" the order. I will not preorder from them again!

    Definitely recommended.

    A terrific ending to a fine series of movies. This was the only movie that I felt deviated more than a little from the book. But if you think about it, showing Bella rendering the entire Voltaire attack force weapons as harmless. Even though it made a good read it might seem a bit bland on film. The alternative was creative and exciting and satisfying.

    Recommended - good action - should check this one out!!

    An exciting ending that I did not see coming. Well acted and great action. The story did not seem complete. There were still some questions to be answered.

    Epic but disappointing

    The end was significantly different from the book in that the fight was "real" in the book and not just a predicted end by the character Alice. Would have been much better following the text. Also not very prominent role for the daughter. Overall a great disappointment compared to the other Twilight installments. The movie did, however, do justice to the many new characters added for the final fight.

    I tried writing reviews of  the other movies and the books.  Saying how beautiful and wonderful Bella and Edward are.
    Each time this sight refused to publish it.  

    So that's all I have to say now.
