1. Cornball Ending
But it gets worse; everything is resolved, and it's already clear that Edward and Bella will live happily ever after, but that isn't enough. Bella then touches Edward's face, telling him she wants to show him something; cue a montage of their "best", "cutest" moments together alongside a maudlin soundtrack, and while the sound of tearful sniffing was unmistakable in my screening, to anyone but the Twi-hards, it's thoroughly cheesy, manipulative, corny mulch. The two make some more sappy proclamations of their love for each other, and the thing finally ends. Forever, indeed. It's a genuine shame they went this route, though, as there was the potential here to actually be affecting and invoke a little emotion in even the ardent cynic like myself; instead, they went for the easiest, most manipulative route possible, but fair play to them, the fans will lap it up all the same. What did you make of the finale to the Twilight Saga? Let us know in the comments below.
