10 Incredible Action Scenes In Terrible Movies

Twilight's final entry, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, is an appropriately awful conclusion to a series that never quite found a fun balance of frothy teen melodrama and campy thrills.

The second part of the interminable two-part conclusion is for the most part a leaden bore, packed with unintentionally cackle-worthy dialogue and drama, save for a climactic showdown that's far better than the movie really deserves.

Because the Breaking Dawn novel ends on something of an un-cinematic shoulder shrug, the filmmakers smartly came up with something new that, ultimately, wouldn't piss off the die-hard fans.

And so, Part 2 wraps up with a wonderfully bonkers battle as the vampires and wolves team up to fight the villainous Volturi.

For a PG-13 movie aimed at tweens, it's a shockingly violent war, with cherished characters being dismembered and even decapitated before our very eyes - though the vampires' ice-like composition makes the brutality a little more palatable for families.

Fans were surely irate that characters who survived in the book were dying left-and-right, until the fight ends and we realise that it was actually just a vision being shown to Volturi leader Aro (Michael Sheen) by Alice (Ashley Greene). In turn it convinces Aro to walk away, and that's that.

Make no mistake, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 stinks, but the filmmakers did the absolute best they could with a tricky situation, delivering a smart, surprisingly visceral compromise to the source material's non-ending.
