I have to be completely honest here… I wasn’t looking forward to Breaking Dawn 2, the movie. I’m a die-hard fan of the saga, but the first instalment of Breaking Dawn released last year was so bad it made me laugh. Where was the screenplay? Was there even one?
So when I sat at the theatre to see Part 2, I was kind of angry with myself. I was ready to give my money to people who hadn’t delivered over and over again. Because let’s be clear here, the saga has gone down since the beautiful initial rendition by Catherine Hardwicke.
But I have to admit, Breaking Dawn 2 is the best movie since Hardwicke’s Twilight, if in a totally different way. It’s action-packed and the only downside in my view were the love scenes. O dear… They’re awefully embarrassing. But the twist at the end and the final battle (which weren’t in the book btw) were impressive and breathtaking.
So here we are. There’s no more Twilight in the horizon. It’s all over. And I want to say a massive thank you to Stephenie Meyer for creating a world and a universe that made so many people fall in love with reading again… and writing.
