As vampire/teen heartthrob Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) embraces his bride, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), for the first time since she died (and awoke as a new member of the bloodsucking Cullen clan) while giving birth to the rapidly aging Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), he smiles and says, "We're the same temperature finally." It's taken five films, but we've arrived at a good explanation for the lack of heat between these two. Bill Condon's back for Part 2 of the final Twilight installment, and it's both the director of Gods and Monsters and Dreamgirls who's sitting behind the camera, camping up the head-popping horror during an extended climax that finds the Cullens fighting alongside their lupine enemies-turned-protectors, led by Jacob (Taylor Lautner), in a showdown with vampire coven the Volturi. At a key point, coven leader Aro (Michael Sheen) lets out a spectacular laugh — which nearly drowned out my own.
