It's still an overly-dramatic and downright cheesy escapade but, unlike most of the prior entries, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 offers enough fun for appeal to a slightly broader audience. Condon shot Part 1 and Part 2 at the same time but the difference is staggering, as the latter installment is stronger in nearly every single way imaginable, with a focused story, higher production values, and a number of appealing setups. That said, out of the (now) five film series, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 easily includes the most straightforward plot and, instead of dwelling on the core Bella, Edward, Jacob love triangle, manages to deliver a competent (albeit still campy) "war" story - complete with a fun cast of supporting heroes/villains and a finale that ends the current saga with a fiery bang. As mentioned, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 isn't going to win-over the franchise's longtime critics and, given the amount of ties to past events and characters that dominate the proceedings, it's still hard to recommend as a standalone experience for the uninitiated.
