The tagline “It has all led up to this moment” is no exaggeration.
I went into The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 with almost no expectations due to the fear of being disappointed. After watching the film, I can honestly say that my fears were not necessary.
The film was broken down perfectly from beginning to end. Things can seem a little rushed in some parts, but that’s expected when trying to fit a huge book into two movies. The movie flies by due to the pace that’s set in place. I found the pacing to be refreshing because in the past, I’ve felt bored in some scenes of other Twilight films.
The acting was also infinitely sounder than past films. I didn’t find myself laughing as much at parts that were meant to be serious. Director Bill Condon created such an epic scene towards the end. My adrenaline is pumping just thinking about it! I believe that all major fans of the Twilight series will be very pleased with the outcome.
Bring your tissues though, because at the very end of the film, it hit me that the series was over, and I sat in the theater and cried like a baby. I’m also a very tame fan compared to others. So let that be a warning about how high emotions will run.
If you have younger siblings, be wary. This violence is nothing like Twilight films from the past. I was a little surprised at how much more intense the violence was this time around. For adults and teenagers, it will be fine, but younger children who may have enjoyed the book series might be a little startled at the violence.
The movie was also much more boyfriend friendly to me.I am sure few guys want to be dragged to this, but I think that guys could suffer through this one easily. They will also really enjoy the audience reactions.
Finally, as I’m sure you have read in other reviews, stay until the end. Seriously, stay.
I really want to write more about the film, but I refuse to spoil anything. Everything will be much more special if you watch it without knowing anything about it. I hope all of my fellow Twilight lovers enjoy it as much as I did!
