The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 [DVD] [2017]
K**Y
I want to hit replay!
I'll be the first one to say i have a love/hate relationship with the Twilight films & books. I definitely lean more towards love though ha! Don't get me wrong, i don't force this love for Twilight on anyone but i know its not for everyone! I just feel like it really pulls me in to their world, its a good way to escape. Ive said this before; I'm a romantic & i adore a good love story... Sometimes i don't even care about the cheese! :-)Anyway, on to the film! So i went to see it today with a friend- we picked today to avoid the hordes of teenage girls with Team Edward/Jacob jumpers on! I cant handle screaming teenagers! I wanted to take the film seriously! I mean its the last one ever... *sigh*I was really pleased with the film, i thought it was an excellent adaption of the book. Im glad Stephanie Meyer produced it because it kept the story true & didn't get sucked into the drama only. Don't get me wrong though there was plenty of drama! I felt Kristen Stewart played a newborn Vampire well. ( maybe being a vampire just suited her- with all the extreme emotions & such). Either way the film had a good level of action & purpose. I do also think it had a lovely feminine touch to it with some of the small details, like the credits at the end.Im trying really hard not to give any spoilers away & don't you worry, i wont. I feel very emotionally tied to the Cullen's & i think this film played on its loyal fans. There were definitely some shocking twists in the film but somehow it still stayed true to the books.I loved the ending & it just felt extremely satisfying and as soon as it finished i felt like i needed to watch it again & just thinking about it makes me want to relive it all over again!I know that these films & books aren't for everyone but for me, it was just awesome! It should also be mentioned that the soundtrack was also very good.Im definitely giving this 10 stars. Films like this truly rely on its fans becoming emotionally involved because yes its full of vampires & werewolves but more than that, its about fighting for love & the happy ending you deserve. ( I'm pretty certain most of us wish we were Bella by the end of it all!)Fave song: A thousand years- Christina Perri.Fave quote: 'now you know. No ones ever loved anyone as much as i love you.' Bella.

brilliant finale to the Twilight Saga
Excellent finale to the Twilight Saga, have seen this in the cinema, and am counting the days until delivery, so I can have the complete set. The love story of a human and a vampire tugs at the heart strings of a wide range of followers, I know girls of 14 who love it, and many like me at 61 also love it. This is the ultimate fantasy, good vampires who don't drink human blood, young impressionable girl who falls in love with the hero of the film, a second admirer, who just turns out to be a werewolf, and a small town where the chief of police is totally unaware of the goings on in the woods and local areas. When Bella gives birth to Edwards child and has to be turned to safe her 'life' the story continues with dramatic scenes where the whole vampire family, friends and befriended werewolves (an unlikely alliance in any other story) making this one of the best films I have seen in a long time. If you have read Part II of Breaking Dawn, the film does deviate towards the end, but although I always think the best thing to do is watch the film first then read the book, in this instance I do believe the film has a much better ending than that of the book. Cant wait to have my copy delivered on March 11th, then I can have a complete Twilight day, and am so looking forward to it. This is a MUST buy, especially if, like me, you already have the first 4 DVDs

Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Product: arrived safely and in good time.Having read the books, I was very interested to see what would be cut from the film as there is no way that everything could be included. Quite a bit of Bella's intial reactions to the transformation were lost and this was a wrench for me. However it was obvious this would have to be sacrificed to the running storyline. It was no surprise to see that most of the interaction with J Jenks was cut. I knew that the anti-climax ending of the book would not translate well in film-makers terms so was expecting something different... I will not spoil things but they did it brilliantly. I know that when I watched this in the cinema, the second time, I was thrilled by the reactions of the audience... the shock elements were so fantastic, characters' fates and the action sequences elicited actual physical reactions from the viewers! And it still does when watching on a smaller screen... although the bigger the better with this part of the film.My only negative... but to me quite a huge negative... was the music. Although the movie score itself was as high quality as previous films, the choice of accompanying tracks was extremely disappointing and seriously hampered the film's ability to capture every nuance. It was probably a disappointment made worse by the fact that the music choices in the previous films were so brilliant... different flavours but each film retaining a musical sense of self. This one doesn't and it really grates on me every time I watch. If I could turn off those songs, I could enjoy this much more, although the story doesn't disappoint at all.

On the edge of my seat and sweating with anticipation!
First off I'd like to say I have read all over the Twilight saga books and read them BEFORE I watched the films. I am almost 20 years old and female (if it counts)I found this film absolutely incredible, almost two hours long I purchased it to arrive on the day of release and it has! I really enjoyed the entire film the effects were amazing, the characters were so much more mature than in previous films, they had managed to capture the tension, emotion and all of the aspects of the film. I absolutely love how they brought Alice out and to life, although the final battle scene doesn't happen in the books she does in fact save them all and it does end in pretty much the same way.If you haven't seen this then you should definitely buy it, it's cheap and an excellent film for teens and adults alike. Perfect for any Twilight fan I will definitely be watching this multiple times.It truly is a story that will live forever.
