After much long anticipation, I have finally seen Breaking Dawn Part 2, the final movie in The Twilight Saga franchise. I had never seen a Twilight movie in the theaters before, as I just read the series by Stephenie Meyer last spring, so I was not sure what to expect.
The movie was first shown in select theaters on Thursday at 10pm and at midnight, but it started showing everywhere yesterday, November 16th.
Before leaving, some preparation was needed. I felt the need to be a little festive, and painted my nails red and black, to match the covers of the books. I also had to find my ticket, which I had pre-ordered on October 1st.

After standing around, and watching the line fill up with people behind us, we were finally allowed to race in for seats at 6:30. We snagged seats in the dead center, the perfect view. That next half hour felt like forever, as we tried not to finish all of the popcorn before the movie had even started. To be honest, I was just as excited for the previews as I was for the movie, as I was hoping there would be a new trailer for Stephenie Meyer's The Host. They did, and you can watch it for yourself here, the movie comes to theaters on March 29th, 2013. Along with the sci-fi romance The Host, a trailer was shown for Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven, and a teaser for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - which produced several squeals from the audience.
Breaking Dawn Part 2 opened with a long introduction giving credit to the lead actor/actresses in the movie accompanied with a piano ballad - something unique only to this movie. The movie began right where Part One left off, with Bella opening her new blood red eyes for the first time. I really enjoyed the several camera angles that were taken from Bella's point of view, zooming to the definite details of her new form of sight (each thread in the carpet, the rays of sunlight, etc.).
To my pleasure, the screenwriter did not stray to too far from the book, except for the end - where I think every person in the audience suffered a minor heart attack. I don't want to reveal any spoilers for those who have not the movie yet, but I will offer a warning, be prepared. I loved the parts featuring Renesemee at all of her various fast-paced ages, especially when she plays the piano with Edward - so sweet! My favorite part of the movie is the very, very end where the director and writer stayed very true to the story. Bella has learned to remove her shield, allowing Edward to finally read her mind, and she shows him every important memory she has of him. It was the perfect way to recap the entire series.
The closing credits were also done differently, as an image was flashed of every character from all of the movies and the actor/actress was named. Overall, the movie was fantastic, and I felt it did total justice to the book - the perfect doses of humor, action, and romance.
