The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

            “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” is the fourth and final movie of this series. It was directed by Bill Condon. Melissa Rosenberg wrote the screenplay based on Stephenie Meyer’s book.  The main stars include Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. It currently has a 48% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I would have to agree with that. I admit I really liked the books, but the movies aren’t good.

            Bella (Stewart) and Edward (Pattinson) are enjoying their lives together after their daughter, Renesmee, was born. Unfortunately, Irina thinks she is an immortal child and tells the crime to the Volturi. The Cullens and Jacob (Lautner) gather up witnesses to support them against the Volturi to protect Renesmee.

            The plot was a little dull for most of the movie, but this is based on the book. Since this movie has only the last part of the book, not much happens just during this part. Some liberties were taken with the film though. A twist was put in towards the end of the movie, and this was my favorite part. Since I had come to love the characters from the books, I was devastated by some of the things added in. At the same time, I loved it because it was something I had wanted to be in the books. I would watch this movie again just so I could see that one scene one more time. I was happy that it ended the same way as the book did though.

            I really liked the ending of this film. It is the only time I actually believed the characters meant and felt anything that was going on. It was also nice to see all the characters from the other movies again, even if it was just their pictures. It brought the whole saga to an end nicely.

            The acting wasn’t very good. This didn’t surprise me because it wasn’t very good in the other ones either. I never cared about the characters or what they did in these movies, unlike the books. It even seemed like the actors didn’t care about what they were doing. The actors actually made me like the characters less.

            I didn’t even think the music was as good in this movie. The other movies had great moments that involved great music. The soundtracks were great for the other movies. The only music scene I remember in this last film is the ending with Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years.”

            I knew this movie wouldn’t be good because of the last three movies in the saga. I have liked other movies involving the same people though. The other Condon movie I’ve seen is “Dreamgirls.” Other movies I’ve seen that Rosenberg has written are the other “Twilight” movies and “Step Up.” I’ve also seen Stewart in the other “Twilight” films, “Adventureland,” “Jumper,” “The Yellow Handkerchief,” “Into the Wild,” “Catch That Kid” and “Speak.” I’ve seen Pattinson in the other “Twilight” films, “Water for Elephants,” “Remember Me” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” The only other things I’ve seen Lautner in are the “Twilight” films, “Valentine’s Day” and “Cheaper by the Dozen 2.” Hopefully, they will be involved in other good movies.
