Development[edit]

Twilight was in development for approximately three years at Paramount Pictures's MTV Films, during which time a screen adaptation differing significantly from the novel was written.^[5][6] For example, the script transformed Bella into a star athlete. Stephenie Meyer stated that there was some debate in allowing the movie to be made because of the negative or positive outcome of the movie compared to the book, 'They could have put that [earlier] movie out, called it something else, and no one would have known it was Twilight!' The idea of seeing a scene converted correctly, specifically the meadow scene, convinced Meyer to sell the rights. In seeing the script, she was frightened that she had made the wrong decision. When Summit Entertainment reinvented itself as a full-service studio in April 2007, it successfully acquired the rights to the novel. Erik Feig, President of Production at Summit Entertainment, guaranteed a close adaptation to the book.^[12] The company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of Meyer's book and its sequels.^[13][14] Meyer felt that Summit was open to letting her be a part of the film. Catherine Hardwicke was hired to direct the film, and soon afterward, Melissa Rosenberg was selected to be the film's structural base as the writer of the film.^[15]

Rosenberg developed an outline by the end of August and collaborated with Hardwicke on writing the screenplay during the following month. 'She was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas.. I'd finish off scenes and send them to her, and get back her notes.'^[16] Because of the impending WGA strike, Rosenberg worked full-time to finish the screenplay before October 31.^[16] In adapting the novel for the screen, she 'had to condense a great deal.' Some characters were left out, and others were combined.^[17] '[O]ur intent all along was to stay true to the book,' Rosenberg explained, 'and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same.'^[18] Hardwicke suggested the use of voice over to convey the protagonist's internal dialogue,^[16] since the novel is told from Bella's point of view; and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-production.^[19]

Meyer, the author, and Hardwicke, the director, had a close relationship while developing Twilight. Hardwicke wanted to embrace the experience and make the characters in the books come to life. She would call Meyer after changing a scene slightly, which surprised the author because, 'I've heard the stories..I know it's not normally like that when you adapt a book.' Meyer, a natural pessimist, was waiting for the worst but, instead, called her experience in the book's film adaptation 'the best I could have hoped for.'^[5][6]

Originally scheduled for release in December 2008, Twilight was moved to a worldwide release of November 21, 2008, after Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moved from a November 2008 release to being released in July 2009.^[1]

Casting[edit]

Kristen Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test, which 'captivated' the director.^[5] Hardwicke did not initially choose Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward Cullen; but, after an audition at her home with Stewart, he was selected.^[5] Meyer allowed Pattinson to view a manuscript of the unfinished Midnight Sun, which chronicles the events in Twilight from Edward's point of view.^[20][21] Meyer was 'excited' and 'ecstatic' in response to the casting of the two main characters.^[22] She had expressed interest in having Emily Browning and Henry Cavill cast as Bella and Edward, respectively, prior to pre-production.^[23]

Peter Facinelli was not originally cast as Carlisle Cullen: '[Hardwicke] liked [him], but there was another actor that the studio was pushing for.'^[24] For unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the part, and Facinelli was selected in his place.^[24] The choice of Ashley Greene to portray Alice Cullen was criticized by some fans because Greene is 7 inches (18 cm) taller than her character as described in the novel. Meyer said that Rachael Leigh Cook resembled her vision of Alice.^[25]Nikki Reed had previously worked with Hardwicke on the successful Thirteen (2003), which they co-wrote, and Lords of Dogtown (2005).

Kellan Lutz was in Africa, shooting the HBOminiseriesGeneration Kill, when the auditions for the character of Emmett Cullen were conducted. The role had already been cast by the time the HBO production ended in December 2007, but the selected actor 'fell through'. Lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to Oregon, where Hardwicke personally chose him.^[26]

Rachelle Lefèvre wanted a role in the film because Hardwicke was director; she saw 'the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films'; and she wanted to portray a vampire.^[27] '[She] thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive.'^[27]Christian Serratos initially auditioned for Jessica Stanley, but she 'fell totally in love with Angela' after reading the books and took advantage of a later opportunity to audition for Angela Weber.^[28] The role of Jessica Stanley went to Anna Kendrick, who got the part after two mix-and-match auditions with various actors.^[29]

Because of major physical changes that occur in the character of Jacob Black between Twilight and New Moon, director Chris Weitz considered replacing Taylor Lautner in the sequel with an actor who could more accurately portray 'the new, larger Jacob Black.'^[30] Trying to keep the role, Lautner worked out extensively and put on 30 lbs.^[31] In January 2009, Weitz and Summit Entertainment announced that Lautner would continue as Jacob in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.^[32]

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer^[6]

In late March 2009, Summit Entertainment released a list of the actors who would be portraying the 'wolf pack' alongside Lautner. The casting for the rest of the Quileute people was headed by casting director Rene Haynes, who has worked on films with large American Indian casts, such as Dances with Wolves and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.^[33]

In mid-2009, it was announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria for the third Twilight film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Summit Entertainment attributed the change to scheduling conflicts. Lefevre said she was 'stunned' and 'greatly saddened' by the decision.^[34]Jodelle Ferland was cast as the newly turned vampire, Bree.^[35] Other new cast members for the third film include Xavier Samuel as Riley,^[36]Jack Huston as Royce King II,^[37]Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria,^[38] Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater,^[35] and BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater.^[35]

Production[edit]

Principal photography for Twilight took 44 days,^[39] after more than a week of rehearsals,^[40] and completed on May 2, 2008.^[41] Similar to her directorial debut Thirteen, Hardwicke opted for an extensive use of hand-held cinematography to make the film 'feel real'.^[24][42] Meyer visited the production set three times, and was consulted on different aspects of the story;^[43] she also has a brief cameo in the film.^[44] To make their bodily movements more elegant, and to get used to their characters' fighting styles, the cast playing vampires participated in rehearsals with a dance choreographer and observed the physicality of different panthera.^[24][25][45] Instead of shooting at Forks High School itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at Kalama High School^[46] and Madison High School.^[47] Other scenes were also filmed in St. Helens, Oregon,^[48] and Hardwicke conducted some reshooting in Pasadena, California, in August.^[39][49]

In early November 2008, Summit announced that they had obtained the rights to the remaining books in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.^[8] On November 22, 2008, one day after the theatrical release of Twilight, Summit confirmed that they would begin working on New Moon. Melissa Rosenberg had been working on adapting the novel prior to Twilight's release^[50] and handed in the draft for New Moon during Twilight's opening weekend in November 2008.^[51]

In early December 2008, it was announced that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke would not be returning to direct the sequel. Hardwicke cited time restrictions as the reason behind her leaving the project.^[52] Instead, Chris Weitz, director of The Golden Compass and co-director of American Pie, was hired to direct The Twilight Saga: New Moon.^[53] Filming for New Moon began in Vancouver in late March 2009,^[54][55] and in Montepulciano, Italy, in late May 2009.^[56][57]

In early 2009, before the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Summit confirmed that they would begin production on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Since Weitz would be in post-production for New Moon when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse began shooting, he would not be directing the third film.^[58][59] Instead, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was helmed by director David Slade, with Melissa Rosenberg returning as screenwriter.^[60] Filming began on August 17, 2009 at Vancouver Film Studios^[61] and finished in late October, with post-production beginning early the following month.^[62] In April 2010, it was revealed that re-shoots of the film were needed. Slade, who previously said he would not be around for them, was seen, along with Stephenie Meyer, on set. The three main stars were also present.^[63]

Wyck Godfrey, producer of the previous films in the series, stated in mid-2009 that they had every intention to make the film version of Breaking Dawn.^[64] Following months of speculation and cast rumors,^[9][65] it was officially announced on April 28, 2010, that Academy Award winnerBill Condon, who directed Gods and Monsters and Dreamgirls, would direct Breaking Dawn; producing the film will be Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and author Stephenie Meyer. 'I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,' said Bill Condon. A November 18, 2011 release date has been set for the first part, while the second is scheduled for release on November 16, 2012.^[11][66][67] Following that announcement, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaption of the fourth book would start production in the fall on June 11, 2010.^[68] With this announcement, it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and Charlie Swan, would return for both parts.^[68]Bill Condon was also confirmed to direct both parts.^[68]

In order to keep the budget on both parts of Breaking Dawn reasonable, which would be substantially greater than the previous instalments in the series, filming in Louisiana was also negotiated, providing larger tax credits for the studio to benefit from.^[10]

Critical response[edit]

While The Twilight Saga has been successful at the box office, critical reception of the films was mixed.

New York Press critic Armond White called Twilight 'a genuine pop classic',^[110] and praised Hardwicke for turning 'Meyer's book series into a Brontë-esque vision'.^[111]USA Today gave the film two out of four stars and Claudia Puig wrote: 'Meyer is said to have been involved in the production of Twilight, but her novel was substantially more absorbing than the unintentionally funny and quickly forgettable film.'^[112]

Robert Ignizio of the Cleveland Scene described The Twilight Saga: New Moon as an 'entertaining fantasy', and noted that it 'has a stronger visual look [than Twilight] and does a better job with its action scenes while still keeping the focus on the central love triangle.'^[113] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film two and half stars out of four, praised Kristen Stewart's performance in the film and wrote: 'Despite melodrama that, at times, is enough to induce diabetes, there's enough wolf whistle in this sexy, scary romp to please anyone.'^[114] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave the film a 'B' grading and said, 'the movie looks tremendous, the dialogue works, there are numerous well placed jokes, the acting is on point.'^[115] Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle responded with a more mixed review, stating, '[E]xpect this film to satisfy its fans. Everybody else, get ready for a bizarre soap opera/pageant, consisting of a succession of static scenes with characters loping into the frame to announce exactly what they're thinking.'^[116]Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of 4 and said that it 'takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead.'^[117] The release of the movie has also inspired feminist criticism, with Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly making light of the claim that Edward Cullen is little better than a stalker.^[118] In any case, the influx of female viewers into the theaters indicates the increasing importance of the female demographic in dictating Hollywood's tastes.^[119]

The Hollywood Reporter posted a positive review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, saying the film 'nails it'.^[120]Variety reports that the film 'finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves'.^[121] One review stated the film was the best in The Twilight Saga so far, acknowledging that, 'The person who should be worried is Bill Condon, the director tapped for the two-part finale, Breaking Dawn. He's got a real challenge to make movies as good as Eclipse.'^[122]A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised David Slade's ability to make an entertaining film, calling it funny and better than its predecessors, but pointed out the acting hasn't improved much.^[123]

A more negative review said that while 'Eclipse restores some of the energy New Moon zapped out of the franchise and has enough quality performances to keep it involving', the film 'isn't quite the adrenaline-charged game-changer for love story haters that its marketing might lead you to believe. The majority of the 'action' remains protracted and not especially scintillating should-we-or-shouldn't-we conversations between the central triangle.'^[124] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave the film a more positive review than for the first two films in the saga, but still felt the movie was a constant, unclever conversation between the three main characters. He criticized the 'gazes' both Edward and Jacob give Bella throughout the movie, and noted that the mountain range that appears in the film looks 'like landscapes painted by that guy on TV who shows you how to paint stuff like that.' He also predicted that a lack of understanding for the film series in general would not bode well with the audience, stating, 'I doubt anyone not intimately familiar with the earlier installments could make head or tails of the opening scenes.' He gave the film 2 stars out of 4.^[125]

Breaking Dawn – Part 1 received mostly negative reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 24% of critics (of the 195 counted reviews) gave the film a positive review, and the site's consensus reads 'Slow, joyless and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise'.^[126]Part 2 had a mixed critical reception but was much more favorable than Part 1.^[127] Bruce Diones of New Yorkers gave the film a positive review, citing 'A feast of ripe dialogue and bloodsucking action'.^{[citation needed]} Richard Roeper said that 'The fifth and final entry in the historically successful Twilight franchise is the most self-aware and in some ways the most entertaining', giving it a grade C+^[128]

Twilight in popular culture[edit]

The 2010 Portuguese teen series Lua Vermelha (Red Moon) had a similar premise of vampire romance but differed in the story. A parody film released that same year titled, Vampires Suck spoofed the film series. A television show within the canon of Canadian teen vampire film My Babysitter's a Vampire and the television series sequel called Dusk is a parody of Twilight.

The 2012 film Breaking Wind (parodying the title of Breaking Dawn, but parodying the whole film series), directed by Craig Moss (best known for The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It), is also a spoof of the films and a parody version of Breaking Dawn Part – 1.^[148] The animated movie Hotel Transylvania was released the same year, and has a scene inspired by Twilight.^[149][150]

The 2013 Filipino comedysitcom entitled My Daddy is a Vampire resembled some Twilight scenes.^[151]

Plot[edit]

Bella, who has just given birth, awakens from her human-to-vampire transformation and is introduced to her daughter Renesmee. The rest of the Cullens and Jacob stay nearby, and when Jacob acts possessively towards Renesmee, Bella learns he has imprinted on her, making her furious until Jacob explains what imprinting is. Meanwhile, Bella's father, Charlie, has been trying to contact the Cullens for updates on Bella's health. Carlisle comes to believe that they have to leave Forks, Washington to protect their identities - especially because of Charlie. Jacob, desperate not to lose Renesmee, visits Charlie and tell him that Bella is alive and well, but had to change in order to get better. Jacob also tells Charlie he doesn't live in the world he thinks he lives in, but says nothing about vampires. He then phases into his wolf form. Charlie then visits the Cullen house and meets Renesmee, believing she is a niece of Edward's whom Bella and Edward adopted. Afterward, the Cullens are able to stay in Forks.

Several months pass with Carlisle monitoring Renesmee's rapid growth. On an outing in the woods, a bitter Irina sees Renesmee from a distance and assumes she's an immortal child without asking any questions. Immortal children were vampires who were changed in childhood, and because they could not be trained nor restrained, they destroyed entire villages. They were eventually executed, as were the parents who created them, and the creation of such children outlawed. Irina goes to the Volturi to report what she has seen. Alice sees the Volturi and Irina coming to kill the Cullens, and instructs the others to gather as many witnesses as they can to testify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. The Cullens begin to summon witnesses, such as the Denali family. One of the Denali, Eleazar, later discovers that Bella has a special ability: a powerful mental shield which had protected her from Edward's mind reading even when she was human, and which she is taught to extend to protect others from vampire powers.

As some of their potential witnesses are attacked and prevented from supporting the Cullens, Carlisle and Edward realize they may have to fight the Volturi. Their witnesses ultimately agree to stand with them in battle, having realized the Volturi increased their Guard by falsely accusing covens of crimes, destroying them and then recruiting the vampires with gifts. The Volturi arrive prepared for battle, led by Aro, who is eager to obtain the gifted members of the Cullen coven as part of his Guard. Aro is allowed to touch Renesmee, and is convinced that she is not an immortal child. Irina is brought forth and takes full responsibility for her mistake, leading to her immediate death. Aro still insists that Renesmee may pose a risk in the future, validating his claim that battle is necessary. Before any violence, Alice shares with Aro her vision of the battle that is to come, during which both sides sustain heavy casualties, including Aro, who would also die. Aro believes her, giving Alice and Jasper an opportunity to reveal their witness, Nahuel (a half-mortal half-vampire just like Renesmee). The witness proves that he is not a threat, supporting the notion that Renesmee is not a threat. The Volturi unhappily leave, explaining that there will be no battle today.

Back at the Cullen home, Alice glimpses the future, seeing Edward and Bella together with Jacob and a fully matured Renesmee also together. Edward reads Alice's mind and feels relieved that Renesmee has Jacob to protect her. Alone in the meadow, Bella pushes her mental shield away and finally allows Edward to see into her mind, showing him every moment she and Edward shared together and the two share a kiss after Bella telling Edward, 'Nobody has ever loved anybody as much as I love you', and both Edward and Bella say they will love each other and be together forever.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

After confirming one film, Summit Entertainment had been keeping their eye on a fifth installment.^{[clarification needed]} In May 2010, Billy Burke and Peter Facinelli were the only cast actors who were confirmed for both parts of Breaking Dawn, while other cast members such as Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were still in negotiations for a second part. If the actors holding Summit back from making an official announcement did not reach an agreement with them, the studio would not have minded recasting their roles, as was done in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with Bryce Dallas Howard's character, Victoria. However, in June 2010, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaptation of the fourth book would start production and it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and Charlie Swan, would return for both parts.

Pre-production[edit]

By August 2009, Rosenberg said that the scripts for Part 1 and 2 were 75 to 85 percent completed. She found the greatest challenge in writing the scripts to be the final sequence of Part 2: 'The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages', she said. 'It's almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track [keep it all in one setting] hundreds of characters. It's an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill [Condon] to choreograph on the stage.' She had written various drafts of the scene but, at that, hadn't revised or discussed them with Condon yet. She said, 'That's the next big hurdle to sit down with the stunt coordinator and create the ballet. It's a lot of work. I'm exhausted, but we're intent on making them the best scripts yet.' Godfrey called Part 2 'an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes' and said that in Part 1 'there are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was.' Condon thought of Part 1 'as a real companion piece to Catherine Hardwicke's movie'. Condon explains, 'Like, everything that got set up there gets resolved here. I think you'll find that there are stylistic and other nods to that film.'

Godfrey considered releasing the second film in 3D to differentiate between the time before and after Bella becomes a vampire, an idea originally proposed for Eclipse, but said that the decision is up to Condon. However, he said that if the second film were to be released in 3D, he would like to shoot it with the proper equipment in 'real' 3D as was done with Avatar (2009), not convert it into 3D in post-production as was done with Clash of the Titans (2010).^[7] On February 12, 2012 it was confirmed that Part 2 would not be filmed in 3D.^[8]

Filming[edit]

Filming started on November 1, 2010 and wrapped, for most of the cast, on April 15, 2011, ending the franchise's three years of production since March 2008. Filming was shot on location in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana; Vancouver, British Columbia; and New York City, New York. Filming also occurred at Raleigh Studios in Baton Rouge.

On the subject of the final day and her final moment as Bella, Stewart stated, 'After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I've ever felt in my life.'^[9] Pattinson thought the day was 'amazing' and commented, 'I then asked myself why we didn't do this in those four years. Every difficult moment just vanished.'

In April 2012, the crew and cast, including Pattinson and Stewart, returned for reshoots to pick up some additional shots for technical work with some of the cast and stunt actors. These re-shoots did not include any new scenes or dialogue.^[10]

Special effects[edit]

Tippett Studio first began working on the CGI (computer-generated imagery) wolves in February 2009 for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and the look of the creatures has evolved, becoming more photo real over the course of the saga, with the input of three different directors. 'It's a subtle balance of just how anthropomorphic these wolves are,' says Eric Leven. 'Bill (Condon) wanted to make sure that we had a sense of the human or the shape shifter in there. Finding that balance of how much of a human performance versus an animal performance was important for Bill.'

Leven adds, 'Bill has always treated the wolves as characters and never as computer generated things, and directs them in the same way he'd direct any actor. He would always give us direction like Sam should be angrier. It's the best way to work. His treating these creatures as characters, instead of just computer bits, was really great.'

'Because we've been working on this franchise for such a prolonged period of time, we've been able to improve the look from show to show,' comments Phil Tippett. 'Wolves generally are pretty darn clean and since Bill wanted the wolves rangier, that means a lot more fur matting and clumping, like they've lived out in the woods. We edged towards something a bit more feral.'

The game can be also played in a 2D version with no animations, and the Amiga CDTV version features a fully voiced introduction describing the movements of the pieces for the benefit of beginners. Digitized sound is utilized in the DOS version for all battle sound effects and is played through the PC speaker, without the need for a sound card, using a technique akin to RealSound. Battle Chess could be played against a human opponent (by hotseat, or by null modem or over a local area network in some ports) or against the computer's artificial intelligence (AI). There are some pop-culture homages; the knight versus knight animation references the black knight fight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the king versus bishop fight pastiches the short battle between Indiana Jones and a swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

'However, there is also a balance between look and technology,' adds Tippett. 'The body count of the wolves escalates and because we're adding a great deal more hair to get the right texture, that fur really ups the rendering time. We've gone from four wolves to eight to twelve, to sixteen in Part 2. So we have to be very careful about that balance, because it takes hundreds of hours to render each wolf.'^[11]

Music[edit]

It was revealed in January 2012 that the soundtrack for Part 2 had already started production.^[12] Confirmed for the soundtrack in advance were 'Heart of Stone' by Iko, which plays when Edward and Bella are talking in the cottage after finding Alice's note and 'Where I Come From' by Passion Pit, which will play when Bella wakes up from her transformation.^[13] The lead single from the soundtrack is 'The Forgotten', performed by the American rock band Green Day. 'A Thousand Years, Pt. 2' by the American singer Christina Perri is also featured on the soundtrack album.

Carter Burwell, the composer of Twilight and Breaking Dawn: Part 1, returned to score the final installment of the series. In later announcements, Burwell confirmed that the score for the film was complete. 'The movie basically upholds the final installment with a score that has the same jungle-music feeling The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 brought us,' Burwell affirmed. 'The music pieces that take place in the catalytic final battle will be very much like the nineteenth song in the previous movie's score, 'It's Renesmee' and the twenty-fourth, 'You Kill Her You Kill Me', which were, if not the most, one of the boldest pieces in my career. I will tease anything but I recommend for the fans to listen to 'A Kick in the Head', 'Exacueret Nostri Dentes in Filia' and 'Aro's End' if you want to have goosebumps for the rest of your life.'^{[citation needed]}

Critical response[edit]

The film received mixed reviews from critics, but the reviews were much more favorable than those of its predecessor. At Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 49% rating, based on 190 reviews with the consensus stating: '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.'^[36] At Metacritic it has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on reviews from 31 critics.^[37] Audiences polled on CinemaScore gave it an average rating of 'A'.^[38] The majority of praise from both fans and critics went towards the ending sequence, Michael Sheen's performance as the Volturi leader Aro and Lee Pace's performance as vampire Garrett.

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, 'The final installment of the immortal Bella/Edward romance will give its breathlessly awaiting international audience just what it wants'.^[39] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said, 'Breaking Dawn: Part 2 starts off slow but gathers momentum, and that's because, with Bella and Edward united against the Volturi, the picture has a real threat'.^[40] Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, 'Finally, someone took the source material at its terribly written word and stopped treating the whole affair so seriously'.^[41] Justin Chang of Variety praised the performance of Stewart by saying, 'No longer a mopey, lower-lip-biting emo girl, this Bella is twitchy, feral, formidable and fully energized, a goddess even among her exalted bloodsucker brethren'.^[42] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said, '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'.^[43]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four, saying 'its audience, which takes these films very seriously indeed, will drink deeply of its blood. The sensational closing sequence cannot be accused of leaving a single loophole, not even some of those we didn't know were there'. He concluded by saying, 'Breaking Dawn, Part 2' must be one of the more serious entries in any major movie franchise.. it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased.'^[44] Helen O'Hara of Empire gave the film a mixed review and said, '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'.^[45]
