The end of 2012 also marked the end of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two (rated PG-13). Twihards, mainly consisting of adolescents, praised the finale while critics resented it. And although Twilight has constantly won best film at the MTV Movie Awards, the latest movie more appropriately fits under its Razzie nomination for “Worst Film of the Year.”
Breaking Dawn Part Two, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, did not have an impressive execution. The final movie presents Bella (Kristen Stewart) as a newly-turned vampire with extraordinarily good looks, contrasting her previous appearance as a human. She and her vampire husband Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) have also just had their first child; a baby girl named Renesmee. As the half-human/half-vampire daughter grows quickly, so does the plot’s conflict. The Cullens become worrisome that their new addition to the family will raise opposition from the dominant Volturi, who believe the child is immortal and will be a menacing danger to the world.
Although Renesmee is not a heinous immortal, the Volturi seek to destroy her. Bella, Edward, all the Cullens, and even wolf-boy Jacob, take the highest measures to secure Renesmee’s safety. Most of the movie is an overly drawn-out process of the group visiting various clans and asking them to be witnesses and “testify” against the Volturi. However, the characters seem as if they are prepared to fight. The Cullens go to every single clan, ask them the exact same question, so more than half of the film is merely the anticipation for a battle. The film was longer than it needed to be, even though Twihards will argue against that; the beginning credits were long and pretty enough (why throw in the extensive end credits to show all the characters?). Also, perhaps the most dramatic scene in the movie was not the climax, but Stewart’s acting when she began shouting at Lautner’s character, Jacob. At least audiences can get a laugh out of that!
Overall, possibly the only brilliant trait about this 2 Star movie is the peak of its climax and it’s plot twist, but other than that, audiences can see why Twilight would be nominated for Razzie’s “Worst Film of the Year” Award.
