This is the first of the franchise. The movie revolves around Bella, the female protagonist who is a teenager. The film starts by showing that she plans on shifting to Washington, where she decides to live with her father and a police personnel. Since the time she attends school there, she crushes on the male protagonist, but eventually gets to know that he is a vampire. Despite all odds, they fall in love with each other, where the boys allow her to discover the world of magic. 

She then gets familiar with the Cullen household and its inhabitants, comprising the siblings as well as elders. The female protagonist sort of puts herself in danger when she falls in love with the boy as she has many threats waiting for her in the magical world. The other vampire troops have their gazes fixed on her but the Cullen household makes sure that they put a safe distance between the two. Slowly her journey begins in the world of magic, charms and curse.

2. New Moon

  • Release: 2009, November 20.

“Bella, will you marry me?”: Edward.

The deep relationship that Twilight spent developing involving Bella as well as the Cullen clan is abruptly severed in the second picture, New Moon, only moments after the opening scenes roll. Edward’s sibling, Jasper, leaps for Bella, murderous when she sustains a minor cut on her birthday. Bella, who is alone and unhappy, runs right into the hands of her close friend, Jacob when Edward messes up with her, and his household leaves town with little explanation. 

As you might expect, Edward reappears in the picture, resulting in the infamous love story between the three. Yes, it’s time to return to Forks.  It’s also in this movie that Bella discovers Jacob is also supernatural; in fact, everything Jacob told Bella in Twilight is true. This does not simply apply to vampires; it also applies to werewolves.

3. Eclipse

  • Release: 2010, June 30

“Death is peaceful. Easy. Life is harder”, quotes Bella Swan.

The third film of the Twilight novel, Eclipse, features Bella and Edward and how they try to keep their romance going while dealing with the royal family’s demand that she be transformed due to her understanding of the vampire world. Edward promises to transform Bella in exchange for her marriage. Bella has reservations about marrying at such an early age. Victoria returns with just a troop of fledgling vampires, seeking retribution on Bella as well as the Cullens for slaying her boyfriend, James, in the very first film before they can talk it out. 

As during conflict, Edward, Bella, and Jacob get in a shelter, staying away from the action, as the Cullens and also the Quileute tribe resolve to combat together in order to destroy Victoria’s troops. As Jacob catches Edward and Bella contemplating their engagement, he flees in violent wrath, but Bella intervenes by kissing him, revealing that she, too, loves him. She adores Edward even more. When Victoria is vanquished, Jacob finally decides to hold out from Edward and Bella’s way, so they notify Charlie regarding their engagement before moving on to the next fight. 

4. Part 1 of Breaking Dawn

  • Release: 2011, November 18.

“Do you think Bella will be showing yet?”

“Jess, she is not pregnant.”

“Why else do girls get married?”

The first portion of the fourth novel, Breaking Dawn, is divided into 2 movies in the fourth episode in the series. The initial part commences with Bella and Edward’s wedding, just several months after the climax of the preceding chapter. Jacob shows up at Bella’s wedding, which is a lovely surprise until he finds Bella and Edward are intending to marry on their romantic getaway, prior to Bella’s metamorphosis – a move that might potentially kill her. It doesn’t, but Bella becomes impregnated with Edward’s vampire-hybrid kid, whom they name Renesmee and who develops at an alarming rate, putting Bella’s health at risk. 

When Jacob learns that Bella is expecting and the werewolves are involved, he becomes enraged once more. After Bella almost passes during the birth, Edward is forced to turn her into something like a vampire. Jacob rushes in to murder the kid, but as soon as he locks eyes with her, he “imprints” on her, which really is similar to how a Quileute shape-shifter meets its soul mate. Bella was the prospective mother of Jacob’s soulmate, which is why he felt so drawn to her. 

Renesmee is now secure… from werewolves, at least, because Quileute rule prohibits hurting anybody who has been branded by a resident of the tribe. Not just from the Volturi, for whom the dramatic finale return is hinted at in the post-credits sequence of Breaking Dawn: Part 1. 

5. Breaking Dawn 2 – Twilight Saga

  • Release: 2012, November 16.

“After eighteen years of being utterly ordinary, I found that I could shine.”

Bella awakens after having given birth as a vampire in the last film, having been transformed by Edward to spare her from the devastating birth. She adjusts to the shift extraordinarily well and copes with it better than the rest of the group. When Bella finds that Jacob is destined to be her newborn daughter’s partner, Bella is upset, but when Charlie demands explanations, Jacob reveals his wolf change, which helps Charlie embrace the unimaginable and welcome Bella’s new state. 

Renesme, Bella and Edward’s daughter, continues to develop at an alarming rate, and the Volturi eventually find her. They think she is an “Immortal Kid,” a human child who has been transformed into a vampire and has been trapped in that mental and physical state for all time. The Volturi have set out to destroy her because eternal offspring is a forbidden subject. 

Edward and Bella enlist the support of allies to establish whether their daughter is not really Volturi’s idea of a human-vampire hybrid, but rather a human-vampire hybrid, unlike the Eternal Youth. Alice eventually persuades the Volturi to leave them alone by revealing them a perspective of a brutal war in which Carlisle, Jasper, as well as many high-ranking Volturi coven representatives perish, as well as trying to introduce their final testimony, one other vampire-human hybrid titled “ Nahuel, who demonstrates that Renesmee can grow and mature peaceful manner. 

This last film concludes with a view of a beautiful future, thanks to Alice’s visions, and the last declaration of affection involving Bella and Edward, whose pledge to be together forever.
