The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)

Fantastic!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The reason this movie is split into two is because they wanted to make more money from the morons who actually enjoyed this series. The reason I'm copy/pasting my review for part one onto part two is because I'm going to be treating them as one move. This movie contains one of the dumbest scenes put to film - the one where a bunch of CG wolves yell at each other telepathically in English. The acting is bad, the sound design is bad, the CGI is bad the plot is inconsitant filler, there are too many flashbacks and dream sequences. Nothing in these movies is explained. The only entertainment there is to be had is if you're watching it to see just how bad it is. This movie is not worth the time or effort it takes to sit through it. Its terrible.

With the final film in the Twilight Saga being spilt into two films,I started to wonder if the series would run out of steam by the mid- point of the two-parter.With having been impressed with Twilight Eclipse,and also having found director Bill Condon debut as writer of the 1981 Horror Strange Behavior to be an interesting feature,I decided to start the 4th chapter of the Twilight Saga.The plot:Getting prepared to get married,Bella Swan meets old friend Jacob Black.Attempting to give him the news gentle,Bella fiancé Edward decides to reveal all to Jacob,by telling him that they are going to get married and that Bella will be turned into a vampire…after the honeymoon.Terrified that Bella having sex with a vampire could kill her,Jacob tries to talk her out of it but is told by Bella that she has made her mind up.Shortly after seeing Jacob storm off,Bella & Edward get married in a lavish ceremony.Going on their honeymoon,Bella and Edward find themselves falling deeply in love for each other,with Bella giving Edward her virginity.Stopping the whirlwind romance in its tracks,the couple begin to fear that they are about to step into the unknown,when Bella discovers that she is pregnant.View on the film:Draining the film of any horror or dark fantasy elements in her adaptation, Melissa Rosenberg gives the bubbly romance between Bella and Edward which fails to sparks and stops any feeling of the couple developing a deeper love for each other being cast across the film.Whilst keeping the romance firmly in the middle of the road,Rosenberg does display a real flourish in making Bella a much stronger,self confident character,with Rosenberg delivering a pro- choice message in a firm manner which perfectly connects to Bella making sure her voice is heard.Facing an unexpected pregnancy, Kristen Stewart gives a wonderful performance as Bella,whose fragile loved up state is toughened up by Stewart as Bella has to start fighting for her and her child,as the 4th chapter in the Twilight Saga ends.

I am a fan of the first three Twilight movies. And I have to say this one is very bad. There not a lot of drama in this movie. The first three twilight movie are so mush better. And this one is just awful.The story line is no good at all. The evil vampire in this movie was left out unless you watch this movie after the credits. Then there one seen with him. This movie is very slow and boring. I do not care who Bella picks it as always been Edward they made it very clear the The third Twilight movie Twilight eclipse. For the first movie is as always been obvious. I do not care. I care about the drama with evil vampires. And this movie had none of that. It was all about Bella and Edward. Boring. See Twilight and see Twilight New moon and see Twilight eclipse. Do not see this awful movie.

IMDb told me to write a review, so here it goes.Breaking Dawn Part 1 was a filler movie if I ever saw one. It brought back all the original minor characters for a brief and often pointless interaction with their more important brethren. It then spent an hour painfully trying to demonstrate vampire sex to tweens. They then leave us with a cliffhanger requiring everyone pay another $12 at the movies to see how the first part ends. If this movie did not already have a following from the previous blah titles in the series, no one would have watched it. Perhaps I will tune in when they remake this movie in 50 years, because this one was so bad the remake would have to be better.
