Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThis second of two Bill Condon-directed installments clears a low bar to stand easily as the franchise's most eventful and exciting entry.
Total Film
pressBetween its farcical script, soulless relationships and waxwork performances, this is a final chapter that will please only the most devout fans.
The New York Times
pressDespite 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.

I'm a huge twilight fan. Gigantic actually but I also enjoy good cinema so am usually the first in line to admit that even though I love them they're not fantastic movies. However, my mind was completely blown by Breaking Dawn Pt 2. The acting had stepped up a notch, the cinematography was beautiful, as was the soundtrack. It was the perfect balance of...
Twilight, Breaking Dawn pt2 Much like the others, only this ones actually good! Kristen Stewart can now act and the rest of the cast are still awesome. If you didnt enjoy (or watch the others) then why are you even reading this!? It feels a lot faster paced with everything happening, so you barely notice the time. You will enjoy it as it does stay very...
