In this movie, they finally “do” it. Edward claims Bella’s chastity and he says “I’m hurting you”. She says “No, it’s okay” and they wreck the four-poster bed on which they’re making out. Here, undead vampires not only have orgasms, they can also make their bedmates pregnant quick. And that’s what the second half of the movie is all about: Bella’s pregnancy and giving birth with Edward himself doing the C section on her. She dies in the process, but the last frame of the film shows her opening her eyes again to indicate that yes, she’s still alive, and the “Twilight” saga goes on.
The director, Bill Condon, used to do better films like “God and Monsters” and “Dreamgirls”, but he doesn’t bring in anything significantly better in this film compared to his three “Twilight” predecessors. This is unexplainable since the franchise itself is much bigger than any of the filmmakers who handled it. Bella remains to be the most immature, sullen always depressed-looking heroine we’ve seen on screen. Honestly, what do Edward and Jacob see in her, what with Kristen Stewart sleepwalking through her role looking like a real corpse in the final scenes of this movie?
We surmise she and her leading men will have no career outside of this series, just like the Harry Potter leads and Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen after the “Lord of the Rings” series. Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner tried having their own films (“Welcome to the Rileys” and “Runaways” for Stewart, “Remember Me” and “Water for Elephants” for Pattinson) but they all bombed at the tills, especially Lautner’s “Abduction”. But they already made millions for the “Twilight” movies so we guess they should already be happy with that.
