The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2

The vampire newlyweds (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson), their werewolf buddy (Taylor Lautner) and various allies square off against the Volturi, led by the sinister Aro (Michael Sheen, in a campy performance that's equal parts Mike Myers and Davy Jones of the Monkees, only less threatening). It's probably not over—this series is too lucrative to end now—but be that as it may, Lautner, while no great shakes as an actor, at least has screen presence and a twinkle of humor in his eyes; Stewart and Pattinson remain monumentally dull, stiff and lifeless as the pod people from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Director Bill Condon injects a modicum of visual style, and Melissa Rosenberg's script adds a cheap-shot ending that, though it departs from Stephenie Meyer's novel, will probably please the fans.
