Two caveats to consider when reading this review:
1. These reviews are my opinions or the opinions of the guest reviewer. I am not presenting them as objective critiques of movies. I know these movies are wildly popular.
2. I haven’t read the Twilight books and I’ve only seen the first movie and Breaking Dawn Part 1.
Breaking Dawn Part 2 is interesting and watchable but not a good movie. The baby’s CGIed face is distracting. The vampire makeup is distracting. The best part of the movie is the huge battle wherein werewolves and vampires rip each other’s heads off. That was actually pretty awesome. Also, I like that each vampire has a special superpower. Like the one Middle Eastern Captain Planet vampire who can control the elements. That was pretty sweet.
I admit to being drawn into this movie at points. While watching this movie in the theater I actually got upset and yelled “Oh no!” when a vampire I liked got his head ripped off.
I would give this movie 2 stars but I watched it in Hawaii and everything is better in Hawaii. ***
