And while few could deny that the final adaptation was cleft in twain to get a bigger box office return out of the saga’s last gasp, few other franchise films give themselves as much to deal with as this, in sustaining the aftermath of the ridiculous events that came immediately before.
With the finish line in sight, this one is by far the most urgently forward-moving of all the films.Įven the most ardent anti- Twilight crusader has to admit that this one has itself a harder job than the metal-on-metal drudgery of Michael Bay’s Transformers, or the cookie-cutter cynicism of Taken 2. For instance, the Cronenbergian body horror of the birth scene that closed the previous film was irresistibly bonkers, but the insipid anti-abortion prelude that made up most of Breaking Dawn Part 1 was downright awful. Having now watched all of the films, I can see the good points as well as the obviously bad, and sometimes I can appreciate both. The creation of an immortal child is prohibited by the Volturi, the vampire royalty led by Aro, (Michael Sheen) who now have an excuse to destroy the Cullens and their allies, threatening the happily-ever-after for which Bella has been striving, all this time. Elsewhere, Irina, (Maggie Grace) the heartbroken relative who appeared briefly to whinge at Edward and Bella’s wedding, wrongly assumes that Renesmee is a child who has been turned into a vampire.
