The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)

A computer-generated baby face is the creepiest thing in the final Twilight movie, and that includes a whole council of ancient vampires in velvet capes. Renesmee has the smooth, frozen glow of a department store mannequin that learned to blink, and the camera keeps lingering on her like nobody noticed. The good news: Bella is finally a vampire, and Kristen Stewart is clearly relieved to play someone with energy, confidence and a decent arm-wrestling grip. Michael Sheen is having a ball as Aro, giggling and gliding around like the story is his dinner party. The middle drags through a parade of new vampires, each introduced with one power and one line. Then the finale goes big, with a snowy showdown that’s the most fun this saga ever had. It made $888.9 million worldwide on a reported $136M. A 4.6 because the ending is a blast and getting there feels like attendance day at vampire school. $6,868 says someone in the room grabs a pillow during the snowy battle and swears they were only getting comfortable.

What works: Michael Sheen is a gleeful villain, vampire Bella finally has some spark, and the snowy finale is the best action in the saga.

What doesn’t: The CGI baby is deeply unsettling, and the middle is a long, flat roll call of new vampires with one trait each.

Who it’s for: Twilight fans who stuck it out to the end and want a big, silly, satisfying send-off.
