Critics Consensus

It's the most entertaining Twilight, but that's not enough to make Breaking Dawn Part 2 worth watching for filmgoers who don't already count themselves among the franchise converts.

While steps in the right direction are made with this conclusion to the series, it’s much too little and far too late, and this saga of undead romance is as laughably soapy now as it was when Meyer’s first book initially hit the bestseller list.

Rated: 2.5/4

The New Yorker

A feast of ripe dialogue and bloodsucking action.

New York Magazine/Vulture

If anything, this series has gotten dumber and more inert as it has progressed, with this last one finally reaching over into an extended wallow in camp.

And if the plot is simple, it is still at times an enjoyable movie for its humor and action scenes... [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

In the end, the movie achieves the same level of mediocrity as its predecessors, only on a grander scale.

Rated: 2/4

Finally we come to the nadir of the saga. Filmed back to back with the first part, [this film] is built around the ... boring premise ... of gathering forces[.]

Breaking Dawn Part2 was definitely the most exciting movie in the Twilight series. It picks up right after Bella becomes a vampire, and honestly, seeing her finally embrace her new powers was pretty cool. Kristen Stewart actually seemed to have more fun playing this version of Bella, which was refreshing after four movies of her being the awkward human stuck in a love triangle. The best part of the movie? The final battle scene. Even if you’ve read the books, that twist hits hard—I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say I had a moment of pure shock. The action was intense, and the Volturi, especially Michael Sheen as Aro, made the whole thing even better with how creepy and over-the-top they were. That being said, some things still didn’t work. The CGI for Renesmee was… weird. Like, really weird. And of course, there’s still some cringey dialogue and melodrama, but at this point, that’s just part of what makes Twilight what it is. Overall, I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected. It’s easily the most entertaining movie in the series, and as a finale, it gives fans a satisfying ending. If you’re not into Twilight, this won’t change your mind, but if you’ve stuck with it this long, it’s a fun, dramatic ride to the finish.
