More than just an impressive, artistic visual sheen, Condon seems keenly aware that much of Twilight’s appeal comes from its guilty-pleasure elements, and handles tone with aplomb. Director Bill Condon tries his best, from start to finish, to improve on an unimpressive story, but there are limits to his power, and as much as Breaking Dawn Part 2 builds viewers up with the hope of something better, something marginally insightful and valuable, it ultimately careens down the same obnoxious, feather-light path as its predecessors.Īs strange a choice for the Twilight saga as Condon seemed when his hiring was first announced, Breaking Dawn Part 2 makes it clear from the start exactly what he brings to the table.
But I am still ultimately sour on the entire experience, due in large part to an absolutely wretched ‘twist’ in the film’s third act that just reinforces how little Stephenie Meyer’s source material has to offer.
