Breaking Dawn part II (spoiler marked)

Well, it was better than part one but that's not saying much, and it's a pretty poor example of storytelling. It feels like the film is going by the numbers and there isn't much of an effort to make it stand up as film on its own merits. On the good side, Jacob's revelation to Charlie is shown rather than told (I really like how they played it for laughs), and the vampire look suits Kristen. SPOILER AHEAD . . . . . . . . However the film ignores the rules set up in the books (and the previous films) about the limitations on Alice's precognition - to set up a cheap fake-out involving the wolves. I know they had to change the ending from the all-talk book version, but what they came up with was nasty and designed for pure shock. I came out of the movie relieved that we've come to the end.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
