I'm sad to say this knowing what I now know about Edward Cullen, but I was once prone to the Twilight movie franchise. Indeed, I too had the whole "Team Edward, Team Jacob" obsession and watched each movie perhaps a bazillion times. When Breaking Dawn part II came out, it was one of those things where you started the god-awful thing, might as well finish it.
The last time I saw a book butchered this badly was in Blood and Chocolate.
First off, Renesmee's ability to communicate via touch is hardly ever shown, Irina showing Aro what she witnessed is never shown, and the vast majority of the film is comprised of hand holding "...." moments. This kills time and leaves the viewer going okay can we please get on with it?
Secondly, Renesmee has even less dialogue in the film then she does in the book. Garret's speech to the Volturri is completely cut from the film, and the various clans' dialogue is miniscule.
The only decent scene in the movie, a scene of a great battle where Bella kicks serious ass, is completely useless. You watch this battle and think to yourself, hells yea I wish this was how the book ended and then.....yea that whole scene was just what would've happened if the Volturri decided to act.
There is I'm sure infinitely more wrong with this film, but the bottom line is it falls flat. There is no great ending, no climax, just idiotic dialogue and characters that just sort of hang around.
