Admittedly, this film was engaging. Like the previous films, it dealt with family, love, and the conflict between the werewolves and the vampires that is showcased in other popular films. The twilight franchise has always been a soap opera featuring pale skin and fur. With a strong focus on the emotions involved in familial and amorous relations, watching these films seem to induce the same feeling one may experience while watching a soap opera. With many eagerly curious to know what will develop in the following film, the Twilight franchise has been successful in attracting a large audience predominantly consisting of teenage girls, well according to the lobby in my theater at least.
OK. The honeymoon scene. It dragged. Possibly by design. The last part of this franchise was split into sequels, so there may have been an incentive to prolong the film longer than necessary. With the anticipation this latest release was likely to generate more than three dollars and fifty cents at the box office, prolonging the film was probably not done to showcase editing talent. In any event, if your a guy, who was dragged to see this film by your girlfriend, you probably had to get in touch with the teenage girl deep, deep,deep, deep, deep, deep inside of you to enjoy this film. Deep inside of you, very deep.
According to metacritic.com the film received mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com rated the film with 33 fresh tomatoes to 95 rotten ones, but on average, 92% of the audience gave it a rating of 4.6 out of 5. I was not fond of the film, but I liked it more than the previous films. It was OK. The teenage girl in me sort of liked it. Yes. I have a teenage girl in me. Her name is Bella. I'll give it 75.
