Best movie of the year for some, one of the worst for me. To sum up a movie in one sentence can be difficult for some movies, but not this one. Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 was a sorry last installment of the series, a poorly acted, mistakenly popular movie with surprisingly good cinematography and one entertaining action scene, that turned out to solve the conflict in the movie. That’s all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The plot of the film was about Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) fighting with all they had to ensure that their daughter not be taken away by an evil, prestigious group of vampires who believe she is a threat to society because she was half mortal, half immortal, they believed she could not control her abilities. Let me just say that Stephenie Meyer did it right. Being a reader of the series, I can state with no doubt that the transition over to the big screen was a downgrade. The acting was so awful, at one point during the movie, I was seriously debating on the fact that this movie could indeed be a parody. At moments in the movie that were intended to be perceived as dramatic, tear-jerking moments, I was crying... Of laughter. Overall, the cinematography (makeup, visual effects) was the shining star in this film.
