The film received mixed reviews from critics, but they were more positive than its predecessor's. At Rotten Tomatoes the film currently holds a 48% rating, based on 174 reviews with the consensus stating: "It is the most enjoyable chapter in The Twilight Saga, but that's not enough to make Breaking Dawn Part 2 worth watching for filmgoers who don't already count themselves among the franchise converts."[34] It did receive a positive reaction from the RT Community, giving it a fresh rating between "76%" and "88%"[35] The majority of the fan base and average reviewer gave it a solid, "A" on sites like Fandango. [36] At Metacritic it holds a score of 52 out of 100, based on 31 reviews.[37] The majority of praise from both fans and critics went towards the ending sequence, Kristen Stewart's performance, Michael Sheen's performance as the Volturi leader Aro and Lee Pace's performance as vampire Garrett.
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The final installment of the immortal Bella/Edward romance will give its breathlessly awaiting international audience just what it wants".[38] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said, "Breaking Dawn – Part 2 starts off slow but gathers momentum, and that's because, with Bella and Edward united against the Volturi, the picture has a real threat".[39] Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, "Finally, someone took the source material at its terribly written word and stopped treating the whole affair so seriously".[40] Justin Chang of Variety praised the performance of Stewart by saying, "No longer a mopey, lower-lip-biting emo girl, this Bella is twitchy, feral, formidable and fully energized, a goddess even among her exalted bloodsucker brethren".[41] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said, "Despite the slow start Mr. Condon closes the series in fine, smooth style. He gives fans all the lovely flowers, conditioned hair and lightly erotic, dreamy kisses they deserve".[42]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "its audience, which takes these films very seriously indeed, will drink deeply of its blood. The sensational closing sequence cannot be accused of leaving a single loophole, not even some those we didn't know were there".[43] However, he concluded by saying, ""Breaking Dawn, Part 2" must be one of the more serious entries in any major movie franchise... it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased." [43] Helen O'Hara ofEmpire gave the film a mixed review and said, "Fans will be left on a high; other viewers will be confused but generally entertained by a saga whose romance is matched only by its weirdness".[44]

I absolutely hate almost everything about Bella's final section of BD. So with that said, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the final movie. For me the MOVIE made the BOOK make sense.

Permalink Reply by Pinkie on April 6, 2013 at 12:28pm He is a victim of bad writing. However, as written; he is quite offensive. Jacob as written should had never been assigned to be a match for any one! He is too immature.

Permalink Reply by JJ on April 8, 2013 at 9:07am I think that Jacob is a very misunderstood character and those that hate him are not seeing the story from his perspective.
