The fifth and final entry in the historically successful "Twilight" franchise is the most self-aware and in some ways the most entertaining. 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. I'll probably never understand the popularity of the Twilight movies. You're going to hear a lot about Breaking Dawn Part 2 being the best of the Twilight movies.

The 'Twilight Saga' has no upmarket aspirations. If you're looking for a review that will tell you the movie is terrible and its fans are idiots, I'm afraid I must disappoint you. The film's long middle is still a slog, but the beginning and ending are loud and weird enough to supply solid entertainment. In "The Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn, Part 2," Bella gets a much-needed fire in her belly.
