A Saga Crepúsculo: Amanhecer - Parte 2

It’s over. Finally. The epic vampire meets girl, girl meets vampire, wolf-boy takes his shirt off a lot adventures known as “The Twilight Saga” has reached its end with “Breaking Dawn: Part II.”

Writer Melissa Rosenberg faced a serious dilemma in adapting Stephenie Meyer's last book in the "Twilight" series into the screenplay for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2." Staying true to the conclusion of the story of Edward...

Perhaps on some level people fixate on the Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson offscreen drama because nothing in “The Twilight Saga” burns as strongly or clearly as infidelity.

The Twilight series comes to a close with this uneven yet satisfying finale that effectively wraps up the saga of these vivid, almost iconic characters, with the strong third act and continuing emphasis on irresistibly fun interludes compensating for...

What a strange trip it's been. The Twilight saga has obsessively loyal fans and merciless detractors. I entered the film series as a relative newbie. I'd read the first book to see what the fuss was about, thought it was trite, and decided to learn...

My suspicion that the penultimate entry in this franchise gave us the actual end of this story was correct. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part Two has nothing to do but spin its wheels for an extended and ultimately uneventful conclusion.

Like the film adaptation made from J.K. Rowling’s final book about boy wizard Harry Potter, the concluding movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s concluding book about glamorous vampires and working-class werewolves, The Twlight Saga: Breaking Dawn...

I will say this about the folks at Summit Entertainment: they've done an admirable job taking 90 minutes of story and stretching it out over five two-hour movies.

After the birth of their daughter Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) must unite with Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and the rest of the Cullens to protect the child from certain death by the Volturi.

Even those of us who hadn’t read the book could tell by watching “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” with its many scenes of inactivity and waiting around, that the story didn’t need to be split into two films. “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” confirms that...

The fifth and very likely final "Twilight" picture boasts one moment, perhaps three or four seconds in length, so delightfully intense and uncharacteristically juicy that the rest of the film -- most of the rest of the whole series, in fact -- looks...

Within the first few minutes of series-closing Twilight flick Breaking Dawn, Part 2, all-atwitter fans and faithful get everything their hearts ever hoped for: Sullen heroine Bella is now a happily married, well-adjusted vampire with pasty beau Edward...

I'm of two minds about Breaking Dawn Part 2. Although it includes the most intense sequence in any of the movies, it also features an unforgivable example of motion picture bait-and-switch.

Yes, the “Twilight” saga comes to an overly dramatic end with BREAKING DAWN: PART II. The story picks up where we left off, with the brooding Bella (Kristen Stewart) just having given birth to Renesmee and having herself been turned into a vampire.

The anemic Bella gets a much needed transfusion in the cheerfully hammy final chapter of this teen saga.

The vampire newlyweds (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson), their werewolf buddy (Taylor Lautner) and various allies square off against the Volturi, led by the sinister Aro (Michael Sheen, in a campy performance that's equal parts Mike Myers...

It's Dead! It's Dead! By which I mean, It's Finished! It's Finished! Five movies have been squeezed out of four Stephenie Meyer Twilight books. All of them redefining cinematic tedium for a new century.

They almost went out with a bang. Roughly 15 minutes near the end of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the last - or so they say - of this particular franchise, resonates with the awesome insanity we believed the series capable of.

Life of Pi is large. It's a big spectacle with a big message and it expects you to open up wide and swallow the ocean in order to get it. And if you can't do that then it's a movie that also thought of a way to swallow itself for you, with a clunky...

From the start, the Twilight film series has struggled with the dearth of external conflict presented in its source material. This isn’t a problem for fans of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling book series, who can recall every thought and emotion behind...

"Immortality becomes you," Volturi leader Aro (Michael Sheen) hisses to red-irised Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who's at last surrendered her body and soul to toothy hubby Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), vowing to be his bloodthirsty missus...

For four years now (at times, it's felt like an eternity), the Twilight films have coasted along on basic anticipatory questions: What would it look like if a sweetly sulky high school girl fell for a vampire who resembles James Dean crossed with...

There are many challenges associated with executing a single story arc over multiple movies, but typically, there’s also one huge advantage. By the final chapter, the filmmaker doesn’t need to include all the little tidbits to get to know characters...

Stephenie Meyer's mopey saga hits the final stretch with an evil grin on its face. Yes, Condon continues his full-on approach, investing more feisty attitude in this final chapter than in the entire franchise to date.

Finally, the end has come. Breaking Dawn Part 2 is a bleeding sight more interesting than the filler that was Part 1. It’s the Braveheart of the bunch, proving bigger, better and bloodier than its predecessors, as Edward and Jacob’s various...

The final chapter in the four-year saga that is Twilight finally answers all those nagging questions, including a few that it raises at the last minute. Like, what exactly is a half-mortal, half-immortal child, recently born to newly minted...

If you have even the slightest emotional investment in the characters, the feral fight between the Cullen and the Volturi covens on an icy battlefield in Forks, Washington is such a heart-racing experience that it makes this final instalment in The...

After 4 years and 4 books, five poor to mediocre film adaptations, a handful of scandals and about a million and two screaming Twi-hards populating the planet, I never would have pegged The Twilight Saga to now, suddenly, get smart on me.

At this point in the franchise, you either get the appeal of the ‘Twilight’ phenomenon or you don’t – so if you’ve found yourself being a Twi-hater instead of a Twi-lover, then there is little in this concluding chapter that will change your mind.

Condon wraps up this saga of loony aspirations amidst immaculate/sculpted supernatural creatures on a pleasant note, offering its newcomer-turned-superstar leads a befitting farewell with a glaze of gooey, inevitable nostalgia against a field of those...

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Roll the entire mile of the title on your tongue and you are left with a sinking feeling. Time for more wimpy vampire whining and snarling werewolves, some two-minute scares thrown into plastic mush.

BDA potent combo of the almost-plausible and the far-out, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 banks once again on tension-packed combats, mythology bequeathed by Bram Stoker's classic novel 'Dracula', and this time around, a more generous dose of ro

Beautifully lit and lovingly filmed by director Bill Condon, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 looks like a 2 hour advertisement. It's hard to empathize with these characters, or fear for them when they’re in trouble, because they're so hollow, and because...

HOUSES that don't need cleaning, money that doesn't need earning, degrees that don't need studying, dishes that don't need washing, food that doesn't need cooking, injuries that don't need healing...

IN THE opening shot of the final instalment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) opens her perfectly made-up and now topaz coloured eyes on a new world.

There’s much talk of ‘forever’ in the fifth and final instalment (or so we’ve been promised) of ‘The Twilight Saga’, the screen’s most vanilla vampire chronicle. It’s an apt word to stress, signifying both the deathless devotion the series has inspired...

Fans will be left on a high; other viewers will be confused but generally entertained by a saga whose romance is matched only by its weirdness.

EN route to London’s Odeon, Leicester Square for the very first screening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 - the final installment of the blockbuster series - I can’t say my excitement matched that of the bleary-eyed “Twi-hards” camping out arou

Here’s the problem with the final Twilight installment: it contains not a single human being.
