The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. Rated M (supernatural themes, violence and sex scene). 115 minutes. Directed by Bill Condon. Screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg. Based on the novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.
Verdict: The final vampire slap-down is undeniably worth
the wait.
Just like The Lord of
the Rings and Harry Potter, and in what seems like light-years away, Star
Wars, there is something immensely
satisfying about a series of films reaching their conclusion. In recent years
it has become almost synonymous with the ‘business’ of movie making – that
every chance to reap more megabucks at the box office should be matched by
wandering sagas that, like The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, take 117 minutes to say what could have been said
in a third of the time. Or less.
