Twilight : Breaking Dawn Part 2



Exactly one year back , Breaking Dawn Part 1 left every one astounded with its astounding detail to the book and a cliffhanger Ending . Now one year later , Breaking Dawn Part 2 has hit the screens with  an awesome opening . Is the movie worthy enough to be declared as the beautiful end to a Epic Saga ??? read on , 

The First Hunt 
When the first book in the series was released back in 2005 , Twilight was just considered a New York best seller with a few of the crazy book fans reading it . When the second Novel got released in 2006, the series slowly started picking up some expectations and had a huge fan base following it .2007 saw the release of third book and finally a hint of the expected movie of the book was in the air. Twilight - The movie released in 2008 with a major opening and created a group of followers who started searching for the books like crazy . The fever that started then and had finally come to an end in this month.



Coming back to present ,as you all know Breading Dawn Part 1 ended with the note of Bella opening her eyes to Vamphirehood .There is no need to explain the story as most of the persons who will be going to the movie would either have read the book or would have[Twifans ;-)]  friends who did and must have got the entire story from them . So no suspense there . But a major Factor rested here . Will the director be able to portray  the exact feelings and emotions that were described so beautifully in the book ? . Or would it be messed up and corroded like how Harry Potter series was a mess of after the first two installments  Thank god , Director Bill Condon has proved that its not to be the case .

*SPOILER ALERT *

If You haven t seen the movie yet or heard from anyone , please don't read the below  Paragraph alone as it spoils the Entire twist in the end

He really got me going with a huge and epic battle that started at the end of the movie . I mean the movie was moving so beautifully sculptured with every scene of the movie getting aligned naturally to that of the lines of the book , The one major flaw which I realized was that the passport details would be given to Jenkins By Bella herself in the book . But in the movie it would be like Jasper has already given the order for the Passports and Bella would be going to just pick them up . But tats understandable as Meyer would have unnecessarily elongated the book with that part . The on screen part was really a good idea . Thanks to Melissa Rosenberg , screenplay ,  for that :D.


Seth , Leah and Jacob

*SPOILER ALERT *

If You haven t seen the movie or heard from anyone , please dont read the below  Paragrapgh alone as it spoils the Entire twist in the end


So coming to the battle . According to the book , Volturi would be on one side with Cullens and the entire friends on the other side to help them . They would argue and finally Aro would decide that the enemy was too powerful to continue their fight today and leave as soon as Alice appears with evidence . In the movie ,This will be true until the part where Alice comes . Then the movie takes a frightening turn of its own.( Following are the exact sequence that takes part in the movie , I have tried to depict as far as my memory could allow , Please correct me if you find anything wrong). Aro's 2 gaurds takes Alice captive and drags her back while the other 2 kills Jasper right before her eyes . Enraged by the loss of his son ,  Carlisle launches himself off at Aro who easily decapitates him and the other brother burns his body . Before that Reneesme is sent on the back of Jacob by Bella . As soon as he sees his father go down before his eyes , Edward springs forward with a snarl along with the entire clan running towards each other and meeting up in the middle of the ground.Jane's brother goes down , While Jane makes Seth to reel in pain after he finishes off another Volturi Guard . Benjamin , seeing the entire annihilation going on before him ,Creates a major shock wave that opens the earth into two , Seth reeling with pain falls into it . Leah sees this starts howling which is heard by Jacob who immediately loses his concentration in escaping from the pursuing vampire and slows down. But he gets back to his senses and snaps the head of the Vampire as he pounces on them. Esme fights another Guard and both trip and hang on the end of the crevice tats in the middle of the ground . Leah sees this and jumps on the guy who is trying to pull Esme down and takes him with her into the abyss. Sam senses it and howls with Anger and attacks the others with Multiplied Vengeance . Edward is thrown by Another guy into the crevice while Bella watches but he comes back with a spring and takes the guy's head off . Stefan and Vladmir take the other two of Aro's brothers. Alice finally frees herself and runs at Jane while being protected by Bella's shield . She catches Jane by her hair and throws her to SAM who rips her apart . Aro enraged finally enters the battle .Edward and Bella fight with him with Bella finally taking his head off and throwing his body into flames . I was holding my head in my hands with fingers pulling my hair and was on the verge of tears as this happened . I mean what I had feared the most had happened . In order to attract fans with a huge fight they had entirely deviated from the story . This is much more horrible than what they did to Harry Potter was my entire thought.' Why , Why do they have to do this ' But as Aro's body goes into flames , the camera zooms into his eyes and comes back out to the scene where Aro touches Alice's hands . With Alice saying " That your future if you start a fight ..." . My god the happiness I felt at the moment was beyond words . Only a second later I realised that the roar I was hearing was mostly coming out of my mouth , "YEah , hell yeah" moment . I turned around and could see most of the audience with the same expression and happiness on their faces with roar continuing for a better part of 2 minutes  ' They didn t mess it up , HELL !! , they haven t messed it up at all ' was my only thought  as I watched the movie roll towards a beautiful finish.

The Final Battle 

So coming to cast , Isabella 'Bella 'Swan done by the now famous and highest paid actress Kristen Stewart has done a remarkable role in the movie . Although she fits the role of small , soft and clutz ' Bella ' to the skin , many critics were hard on her for her in-existent facial expressions . You may have seen a lot of Troll Memes floating around too , depicting the same . But in this movie she has finally shed the fragile layer that is of Human Bella and has transformed into a fierce and enthralling beauty of Vampire Bella remarkably . I mean I was totally expecting her to make a mess of the scene where Bella jumps on Jacob with a growl after she comes to know that he had imprinted on her . Her delivery of ' You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?..... ' was really impressive . And the difference between human Bella and Vampire transformed one was remarkably shown in the way she dressed , the Beauty she radiated on the screen, the confident way in which she walked. I have to say that I was really impressed with her . Hats off to you Kristen aka Bella.

The Before Bella

The After Bella  :: 







 Robert Pattinson again returns as the beautiful and Angelic Edward Cullen who demands wolf whistles from girls as soon as he enters the screen . Has always maintained the role of Edward to the core from the first movie .



Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black earns another set of Whistles from another team of girls that go by the name of  Team Jacob :D ..It really was funny seeing them fight as to who was the best . Edward or Jacob :D.




Senna and Zafrina - African Vampires

Reneesme starred by Mackenzie Foy has filled her part well . Like in the book she doesnt speak much but goes around with what she wants to say by simply touching people's cheek. Her growth from Baby was fully graphically shown which was a little awkward at first. But atleast tats what they could do in order to show the resemblance and speedy growth, I guess.



Other characters come and go the same . Thank god they didn't change the cast anymore or it would have messed up the entire series. New Vampires like Alistair , Benjamin have been selected aptly although they dont share that much of a screen space .

Denali Clan - Kate , Irina, Tanya, Eleazar , Carmen

Bella , Reneesme ,Edward and Jacob - Happily Ever After 

The Romanian Clan - Vladamir and Stefan

Alistair

Jane and her Brother Alec

Alice and Jasper

Amun , Kebi , Benjamin and Tia

Emmett and Bella arm Wrestle
Marcus , Aro and Caius - The Volturi



The story ends with the Alice's vision showing a fully  grown Reneesme , Bella , Jacob and Edward living happily on Beach  and then the meadow where Bella allows Edward to read her thoughts by lifting her shield and finally showing how much he means for her . The screen shows the last page of the book with the word ' Forever ' highlighted and slowly the credits roll .An astounding finish , I have to say and judging from the cheers and standing ovation the film got when the credits rolled , I have to say my fellow fans had agreed with me too :D

Pro's : :

1. Once again get lost in the Magical World created by Stephenie Meyer and portrayed by the best actors.
2. Feel jealous of the pure love that can ever exist between two persons , Edward and Bella of course .
3. Impactfull battle at the end that makes you to scoot to the end of your seats and shout in horror and weep with joy .


Cons :

1. The minor slip where they deviated from the story somewhat with the passports.
2 . The graphical enhancements of Reneesme looks a little awkward at some places.
3. Less Screen space for Jacob :( ..I think most would agree with me ;-)




A movie which will never be missed by Hardcore Twilight Fans . So answering the question which was asked first ' Hell Yes'.

Rating : 9.5/10
