Having just watched the first part of the movie, which ended saying nothing after a whole bunch of feely scenes that also said nothing, it felt only natural to consider that at some time, after all was said and (hopefully) done, there will be a point to all of this. After all, this is a "saga" so it must have an "epic" ending. And it didn't, really!
The first half of the film was more like part 1, then a threat was revealed and allies were gathered. This part started to get my hopes up: vampires from all over the world, each one with a different "gift", came together to fight the dreadful Volturi. Even the wolves joined in. And then the epic battle!
Let me just say that after hours of suffering the egotism and mindlessness of all involved, doing nothing and feeling a whole lot of stuff that I didn't, the ending was far from "epic". Also, it wasn't really the ending, which was more akin to a Dallas episode. And then the entire franchise... ended. With nothing at all to show for it. Like a soap opera, the fact that a bunch of people you don't care about are living their life is not something interesting or worth wasting time with. That's all!
