The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)

The bits I saw meant a lot or nothing to me. I watched it on a TV inside a drum with the volume very loud.When I sat down to see it, the regularly dressed vampires were allowing the overly dressed vampires to see a young girl.I asked the girls who had selected the movie and were watching it instead of playing cards, "Why does Marching Band wants to meet the girl?" One of them answered "Because she is half immortal." I kept it to myself that by as many definitions of all of those words that I can come up with, "half immortal" is impossible.At some point, I was bored and wanted to leave so I jumped up and said "And that's why you keep the f-ing band in the orchestra pit!" And then I left. I laid in my bed and missed that Suzanne Sommers Thigh Master, something awful....

I like most people am not a fan of "Twilight" and there was never a movie in the series that I thought was genuinely good, although they did try a few times. This movie mostly suffers from really bad CGI. I mean, the wolves in this just look so terrible. I'm also pretty terrified by the baby who has this horrible looking CGI at first. At least it gets better when she's older. I can at least acknowledge that this were some people who liked this series and it does seem like it served its purpose with those people well. This was made into possibly the longest movie review in history with Spoony talking about this for over two and a half hours! I actually do like what they do at the very end. It looks like there's this big fight scene. This is probably the main criticism of the series in that Bella causes all these bad things to happen. They actually did do something unique and it ended up being better than I thought. The fight scene was actually an illusion or a vision of what would happen. Everyone ends up leaving in peace. Of course, it's still not a good movie. It's a shame how the actual actors hate it more than even most people. I think this was the only "Twilight" movie that didn't win Best Picture at the MTV Movie Awards. I guess people learned their lesson by this. It was at least interesting to see how a series ended.I still enjoy it when people make fun of these movies, even if I don't find them awful. Granted, I still think they're mostly bad. They actually did get some interesting shots in and they even had some interesting powers that the various vampires showed off. It did entertain me with how cheesy it was at times, so I'll give it that. These actors need to show more emotion. Hopefully, they'll move on to better roles. I don't find most of these movies that harmful, but now that they're done, we can just ignore them like we should with most movies we don't like. There will be worse and much better movie series out there. **1/2

I have been waiting to watch Breaking Dawn Part 2, and now that I have watched it I'm surprised at somethings throughout the whole movie. This film is a drama/fantasy typed story.Bella being the main female character has to male figures after her. Jacob and Edward, as seen in the Breaking Dawn Part 1 she stay with Edward. Part one seems more realistic than this movie because of the way they use computer programs(as so portrayed) to build up characters. As we all know Bella and Edward have get married and end up having a baby, then Bella "dies". Throughout this whole movie, as a viewer you could tell that the baby, Renesmee is a computer fantasy per say. She does not look realist at all well at some times she will but throughout the movie she mostly looks fake. The main point of this movie is that they are trying to protect the baby from the Volturi because they have declared her as an immortal child, that has to be put to death. There were many interesting points. There were a lot of angles, camera movement, lighting,and sound that you could totally pin point. When Bella is waking up they have a close range shot, they start very zoomed in the eye and then they zoom out slowly and to show the rest of her body.They do a long shot view of when they(Bella and Edward) go chasing after her meal. In this shot they show them take a long jump/leap to get onto the other side of the hill. They used a Pan movement to introduce the scene of when they enter the woods hunting. When out running they use tracking shots, which is when the camera is moved to follow the movement of the character. This movie had natural lighting throughout the whole thing. I rated this film a 6/10 because I was very bleak toward the fact that the daughter was based on a computer program and it bothered me at full length because I couldn't really focus on certain scenes when the girl showed up because of how fake she had looked. So if you don't like seeing movies like that, that have computerized characters than i would not recommend this film. Other than that issue it is a very pleasant movie to watch because they continue the story board as expected and don't have surprises. I would recommend you to watch it and see how the story continues.

Even as a devoted Twilight fan I was DISGUSTED by this movie. It was rushed in both parts, they had more than enough time. What happened to Alice's fashion sense? Bella showed an awful dress in her lovely cottage and said Alice picked it out. I thought Alice was supposed to have a good fashion sense. This was forgivable, however the atrocious ending was not. I hated AWFUL the fight scene. It ruined the Twilight movies completely. Devastated at how they portrayed Aro, making him so evil. Take him OUT of that godawful, hideous military uniform. Rigid, ugly and mechanical. Aro's supposed to be elegant and flowing. Put him in something sinister, yet elegant, like a black waistcoat with a silver dragon, or silver and gold snakes. Did Summit actually *read* the books? They also ignored the canon that Alice can't see the future when it involves the wolves.Carlisle and Alice were portrayed badly. Alice can see the future and would *know* bashing Aro into the air would not make him a happy camper. Carlisle would *know* attacking the Volturi would spell disaster and way out of character. That said, I still adore the actors. There's only so much fantastic actors can do with awful, stupid scripts. The characters were written into a corner. The Cullens and Volturi are my favourite Twi teams so I'm 'Team Switzerland!' They were portrayed two-dimensionally. Stephenie Meyer wrote deep, meaningful, complex and insightful characters. I hated how they were squished into black and white Hollywood molds of good VS evil. I have never felt so betrayed in my life. When I saw Stephenie's name in big letters as producer, I felt relief that the movie won't be wrecked. So much for that. The Volturi are antagonists, rather than 'bad guys.' Stephenie even admitted later, the battle was too one sided and unrealistic that mostly the Volturi died. Why wasn't this amended in the script writing phase? Fans deserved a way better movie.Edward and Bella seemed flat in the fight scene. In the book, Bella came into her own, realising her powers without resorting to violence. The saga revolves around Edward and Bella, whom I adore, but that does not mean the other characters have to be ruined especially when that severely deviated with how they were written. In the book it was *Cauis* who smiled when the Denali coven's mother and immortal child were killed, *not* Aro. In the book, Caius wanted the others killed. Aro declared they were innocent and spared them. This scene was conveniently omitted from the movie, making it easy, lazy and convenient to make Aro the bad guy. I was also upset to see very little of Carlisle. I especially wanted to see the scenes with him rousing Edward and the scene at the end where he was even prepared to forgive Aro. I adore Carlisle as he's so sweet and kind and Aro as he's so peppy and when I saw a poster of him from 'New Moon', those deep red eyes, I fell in love with him because he needed love.The 'fight/vision' scene was an interesting twist, however to stay truer to the book, it should have been Caius who started it as he wanted to in the book, attempting to spark the other side off by killing Irina. This would've been another twist as the others are waiting for Aro to start something and it's Caius who shocks everyone (including Aro!) If Hollywood *had* to have a fight, it would have been better if Aro had tried to stop it and in the end being the only one who survives, perhaps with his body guard Renata and learns something about how to use his power wisely and relieved it was a vision! The fight scene made me sick, numb, betrayed and powerless. Portraying Aro way more crazy and evil is not a good thing for those suffering from mental challenges as it only serves to spread the fear that we're all violent psychos, which is not the case. Things like that increase being hurt physically and emotionally and finding it even harder to be accepted in society. My Aspergers has been a challenge as well as a blessing and has definitely made my life very interesting and very painful and I don't want to go around harming people. It makes me more insightful and open-minded and I would not trade those special insights for the world. If anything people like Aro, who in real life, are like frightened children who need nurture, love and understanding. This move hurt me so much and so deeply, it's been very hard to write about it and post until now.I'd love to have the money to remake that scene into something that is much truer to the books, much deeper and more meaningful. I am envisioning Summit re-thinking that movie and be a forerunner in Hollywood for breaking that typical mold. Perhaps they can re-release the entire Twilight Saga at the movies with extra footage and do it as a huge charity drive.They did a good job with the other movies and the costumes (bar some of the *awful* things they had Bella in like her birthday dress and prom outfit) I just wish with all my heart and soul that they had not ruined the entire saga with how they cheapened the charters and made the ending very clichéd in BD2. I loved the scene where Renesmee touched Aro's face and he softened and we saw a gentler side to him.And yes that awful military suit made Aro look fat ;) A least I still have my sense of humour after all this... Yes, Aro knows I tease him. As long as it's meant in fun, You're allowed to tease the ones you love. That's the Law. Even Caius will tell you that ;)
