MOVIE REVIEW: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2

Before we say anything... if you HAVE NOT seen this movie yet... stop reading. Turn around! Hit your back button. Anything, but read this. Spoilers are included. We'll give you a minute to consider...


For those still with us... WOW! That is probably the best way to describe the fifth installment of The Twilight Saga's movies. As someone who has seen all of them as they released, read the books, was slightly disappointed with certain aspects of the other movies, I will say that Bill Condon NAILED it. Hats off to you Mr. Condon. Round of applause!

Let's break this down a little... 
1. They finally got the hair right! After 3 movies of slightly awful hair, Breaking Dawn (1 & 2 seems they were filmed back to back) the cast looked fantastic. Bella's hair... stunning! Rosalie's didn't look like a wig. Carlisle had a brief moment where it wasn't the best, but ended up great the rest of the time. Even Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), who's hair they kept making worse as the franchise went on, was on point. About time!

2. Edward/Bella love: Could these two get any cuter? They were adorable and the writers included lots of little moments that made the big picture all that better. Adorable little smirks, kisses, touches, etc. 

3. Vamp Bella! Was she hot or was she hot? Kristen Stewart definitely pulled off the newborn, red eyed, vamp look. She's right. She was "born to be a vampire". 

4. Favorite scenes? Jacob calling Renesmee "Nessie". Arm wrestling with Emmett. Every single scene Charlie was in (Billy Burke is hilarious!). And the entire final... 30 minutes of the movie.

5. Speaking of ending: Did you jaws come unhinged? Mine rolled around on the floor of the theater along with everyone elses. You know what part I am talking about. I'm not going to spoil it (just in case there is anyone reading this that did not listen to me in the beginning and chose to read this anyway). I fully agree with RPattz though. "I can't believe they had the balls to do it!" I'm fairly certain they almost caused a riot. You know what I speak of... and I know you agree.

6. The one negative part of the movie: The creepy CGI baby Renesmee. She was creepy! SUPER creepy! I understand there is not a lot of ways to make a newborn baby have teeth, facial expressions, smile, etc, so I won't complain much. But that was the only part of the movie I can say was not fantastic!

So all in all... A++! And the tribute at the end to all the cast throughout ALL the movies... so heart warming. I'm so proud to be a Twilight fan at this moment because this movie blew me away. By far the best in the series! Great job!
