The Twilight Saga comes to a fitting close as Bella finally becomes the Vampire that she's longed to be and it's filled with some really cool moments as Bella proves she's now a force to be reckoned with.
There are many humorous moments throughout; particularly between Kristen Stewart's Bella and Taylor Lautner's Jacob who have a very different relationship now and it's nice to see the mutual respect that is growing between Jacob and Robert Pattinson's Edward.
The cast list for this instalment is impressive and almost makes me miss the intimate familiarity of Bella, Edward, Jacob and the rest of the Cullen's but with so many new Vampires on the scene, this movie does well at giving time to each group as they decide which side they are going to be on and I particularly like Casey LaBow as Kate, Lee Pace as Garrett & Judith Shekoni as Zafrina.
I love the fact that Renesmee grows so quickly and young actress Mackenzie Foy portrays her really well and I really like Kristen Stewart's scenes with her.
Billy Burke gives a lovely performance as Charlie, although I would've liked him to have more screen time and the scene as Jacob reveals his true nature to Charlie has to be one of the Saga's funniest moments!
It's great seeing Michael Sheen's Aro back again as he delights in tormenting the Cullen's in his quest to control them and gives a memorable performance.
The battle is brilliantly filmed and has some shocking moments for long-time fans that keeps the suspense going right till the end and once again I love all the CGI scenes with the Wolves.
One of the most beautiful scenes is Bella sharing her memories with Edward which shows just how far these films have come.
The ending is slightly teasing, but for me this film wraps up a compelling journey about teenage love with a supernatural twist in a small sleepy town called Forks.
