The hugely successful serial adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s teen-friendly vampires-and-werewolves soap opera winds its way to a conclusion with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, probably the best entry of a middling series. There is a certain ceiling for melodrama this programmatically plotted, but after a rather sluggish opening half, director Bill Condon delivers a rousing finale that will work fans into a tizzy. More satisfying than objectively good, the movie serves as a fitting capstone on a five-year, $2.5 billion-and-counting film franchise whose robust embrace not only helped launch the careers of young stars like Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene, but also solidified young adult and tween-lit as among the ripest properties for cinematic exploitation.
