The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2

While steps in the right direction are made with this conclusion to the series, it’s much too little and far too late, and this saga of undead romance is as laughably soapy now as it was when Meyer’s first book initially hit the bestseller list.

A feast of ripe dialogue and bloodsucking action.

If anything, this series has gotten dumber and more inert as it has progressed, with this last one finally reaching over into an extended wallow in camp.

You're going to hear a lot about Breaking Dawn Part 2 being the best of the Twilight movies. That's like saying a simple head cold is preferable to swine flu.

The 'Twilight Saga' has no upmarket aspirations. Seeking neither critical applause or peer-review awards, these movies, like those of Tyler Perry, seek only to provide unabashed satisfaction to those who believe in their characters.

The fifth and final instalment of the Twilight saga has the best climax of any blockbuster this year.

And if the plot is simple, it is still at times an enjoyable movie for its humor and action scenes... [Full review in Spanish]

In the end, the movie achieves the same level of mediocrity as its predecessors, only on a grander scale.

Finally we come to the nadir of the saga. Filmed back to back with the first part, [this film] is built around the ... boring premise ... of gathering forces[.]

I will give credit where credit is due: there are some genuinely enjoyable (see: hilarious) moments sprinkled throughout this all together way-too-long fantasy romance.
