Audience Consensus

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is a 2012 American romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon, the conclusion of the five-film Twilight franchise. Now a vampire, Bella and Edward must protect their rapidly growing half-human, half-vampire daughter Renesmee from the Volturi, the ancient vampire ruling coven who believe the child is an "immortal child" โ€” a forbidden creation. The Cullens gather vampire allies from around the world to stand as witnesses before the Volturi, setting up a climactic confrontation in a snowy clearing.

Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is most remembered for one of the most audacious fake-outs in franchise filmmaking โ€” a lengthy, brutal battle sequence in which multiple major characters, including beloved franchise fixtures, are graphically killed, only for the film to reveal it was a vision of what could happen rather than actual events. The twist infuriated some audiences who felt cheated but delighted others who appreciated the filmmakers' willingness to subvert expectations. The film earned $829 million worldwide, bringing the franchise's total to over $3.3 billion and cementing the Twilight Saga's status as one of the most commercially successful film series in history.
