PG-13 -- 115 min. -- IMDB
Finally saw this movie yesterday. I have some mixed feelings about this movie. I thought that it was fun to watch, but the more I think about it I'm not sure what to think. Does that make sense?
First off, I laughed three times when I shouldn't have. The first was when Bella ran through the forest. Everything was WAY too euphoric. I laughed hard. So hard that the girl to the left at me looked over at me. I thought it was cheese covered in cheese in the way it was handled. The second was during the sex scene. You'll know it when you see it. It's ridiculous. And the third was the setting up of the two sides of the face-off. The Quileute wolves came behind the 'good' vampires and then the shot came of overhead came above them. Everyone laughed in the theatre. It was so dramatic and then seeing how small their side was to the Volturi side was laughable. Pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be.
Also, as per usual, Kristen Stewart had barely any acting. I don't know how she gets away with it. The actor who played the Volturi leader, Marcus, had more feeling and that's saying something. He's supposed to look like it doesn't care due to his circumstances.
What I did like about the movie is that it stuck to the story of the book really well. Although, there isn't much to the book after Renesmee is born. The 'twist' at the end was even nice and followed it well. It sure had me going since I love certain characters. I won't say more on that subject because I don't wish to give it away.
I also liked that the end of the movie enveloped all of the movies together with the ending credits. Perhaps something that wasn't necessary, but very nice. It made me sad to see the franchise end. Mostly because I have been following the series for so long. It's always sad to see something go. (Definitely not as sad as watching the last Harry Potter film, though.)
If you are a fan of the series then you'll have fun watching the movie.
