GRADE: C-
The long-anticipated movie of the season. Why? Not because it is a revelation of quality film, but it means that it will be the last new Twilight movie I will have to see. That alone gave me some pleasure walking into the theatre.
This movie stars Bella (Stewart) finally as a vampire, with her husband (Pattinson) with their daughter, Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy). The story follows the three with their family and a werewolf companion, Jacob (Lautner). However, when the secret of Renesmee reaches the head counci, the Volturi, the Cullens must prepare for battle.
Writing that, it actually makes the movie feel more exciting than it actually is. Out of the five movies there are, this one (sadly) is probably the best. That does not mean it necessarily is all that great to start out. Overall, the writing and acting is the weakest part in this movie. Every character either felt forced or did not care enough to try.
There are also some just gaps that the director did not think to change. For example, when there are many vampire groups, they change every day: except for the Amazonian women: they have to be next to naked in the snow, while everyone else has a change of clothes. Did no characters think to give them any clothes? There are many mistakes like that throughout the entire movie.
The only reason this movie is above a "D" is because there is an action sequence that is possibly the best scene in the entire saga. While the sequence contains flaws of its own, (i.e. fighting everywhere, but some characters can stand for minutes on end, untouched) but it is filmed so well that those can be overlooked.
Overall, acting, direction and dialogue are very weak, but if you want to end the series, it would not hurt to see it.
