The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2

"This second of two Bill Condon-directed installments clears a low bar to stand easily as the franchise's most eventful and exciting entry."

"Between its farcical script, soulless relationships and waxwork performances, this is a final chapter that will please only the most devout fans."

"Despite the slow start Mr. Condon closes the series in fine, smooth style. He gives fans all the lovely flowers, conditioned hair and lightly erotic, dreamy kisses they deserve."

"Despite all those fierce confrontations and tribal divisions, exhaustively rehearsed and mythologised, nobody's really a bad guy and nothing's really at stake."

"I must admit if you're going to bring the series to a close, "Part 2" does it about as well as it can be done."

"The dialogue remains spotty and sappy, the effects still haven't caught up to modern-day standards, but "Twilight's" popularity is such that even when it falls short, it doesn't seem to matter."

"The final installment of the immortal Bella/Edward romance will give its breathlessly awaiting international audience just what it wants."

"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."
