After having been rescued by Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart) is trying to get used to her new life as a mother and a vampire, but her family is threatened by the Volturi.

The fifth and final film in the Twilight series covers the second half of Stephenie Meyer’s novel. The highlight is a final confrontation with the Volturi featuring a lot of decapitations (but in an odd PG-13 way) and a deliciously hammy performance by Michael Sheen. However, a silly twist undermines the whole sequence.
