I admit, I am no Twilight Fan. I never watched the first four films in the Cinema. I remember how some boys would complain about their girlfriends forcing them to watch Twilight. I on the other hand, need not force my boyfriend as I do not watch these films. In fact, he is the one who forced me to watch this. Haha. It was only two years ago when he finally convinced me to watch Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. I downloaded a copy and watched these films at home. At that time, I never knew why people loved it. Neither Edward nor Jacob was as "hot" as people claim them to be. And the story line was plainly boring. In my personal opinion, it was far too cheesy.
Reviews about the first part of Breaking Dawn were good. Since Breaking Down is the last installment to this saga, I asked my boyfriend to watch it with me. Unfortunately, because I mocked him for being the girl in our relationship as he is more of a Twilight Fan than I am, he declined my invitation. So, we downloaded a copy of the movie and watched it at home.
The fifth and final installment to the Twilight Saga, however, was an exception. Being the last, we decided to watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 at the movies and I LOVED IT.
There are two reasons as to why I actually enjoyed this film, the first being the fact that Bella is finally a stronger woman. (I hated the fact that she was so stupid in the other films); and second, the fact that it finally focused on other things other than the love story between the two characters. It was indeed a good ending to Twilight.
Unfortunately, as my boyfriend and I observed, there are things which have not been addressed, both in the novel and in the movie. Unlike the Harry Potter series, the novel and the movie failed to actually address significant details in the story, seeming like it merely resolved the love story of Edward and Bella.
Still, two thumbs up for Breaking Dawn Part 2! And yes, that comes from a non-twilight Fan. :)
