Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

JokerMichel I said it many times before , I didn't like the whole twillight saga and this movie is no exception at all A lot of things are wrong with the script , the story felt like everything is messed up, nothing was logical or serious enough to get my attention

Nikita Wannenburgh I was very impressed with its film. If you watch it without reading the book, then it will probably seem confusing and weird, but if you know all the vampire-werewolf history, etc, then you have a much higher chance at enjoying it :) Overall, it was utterly romantic and emotionally heart-wrenching. It captured Edward and Bella's love in an enchanting fairytale way and delivered just the right amount of horror and pain at the unforgettable climax. Above all, it gave us gorgeous romance and raised the emotional stakes while delivering all the feels. I loved it. Obviously, it had both pros and cons, but here's a rundown of what I thought: Pros: - It was visually lovely, and the cinematography and soundtrack were both great. - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart seriously topped their games. Their chemistry was brilliantly on point, their acting held up a lot better than their efforts in the previous films, and despite the fact that they have always had solid chemistry, their connection in this film was hugely deepened and incredibly emotional; as well as beautifully romantic. I was literally swaying as I watched the honeymoon scenes; their interactions were beautiful, and their chemistry was simply enchanting. - Not surprisingly, Billy Burke and Anna Kendrick were as brilliant and comically refreshing as ever. They only got a few minutes of screen time each, but once again, they proved to me that they are two of the best things about this franchise. They delivered some of the best lines with delightful and refreshing charisma. - In contrast, the whole Cullen family got a nice load of screen time and lines in Breaking Dawn. ittedly, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed – who portray Esme and Rosalie respectfully – were above the others in acting ability, but all the same I love the Cullens and it was nice to see all of them so much more. Cons: - After three Twilight films, I think we've established that Bella is a weak damsel instead of a role-model-worthy heroine. She was still an idiot in Breaking Dawn; emphasis on the fact that she WANTS TO BIRTH A VAMPIRIC MONSTER. - Taylor Lautner was awful. Just terrible and completely fake. He gets worse with every film, and either he's overacting with too much ego or ripping his shirt off to please the female audience (which he did do in the first few minutes of this film, by the way). He acted with the ego piled on doubly thick and was just plain pathetic. - The action scenes were vague, muddy and very badly choreographed. The werewolf-vs.-vampire fight scene at the end was a perfect example of that. Unlike Eclipse's fantastic climactic fight, the action scenes in Breaking Dawn were totally devoid of real excitement and entertainment. - The whole film was a lot slower than the others. It lacked real tension and had the tendency to drag. While Edward and Bella's scenes gave Breaking Dawn the emotional throb it needed and were additionally and gorgeously romantic, any other scenes lacked that connection and fell short.

pinbackwiggly 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.

willcundallreview Rating-4/10 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1 is the first part of the end of this massively popular franchise. The problem is this is just very poor and is among it's predecessors not good yet again, it tries hard this time there is no doubt but just too little happens in the plot to muster an interesting movie that none Twilight hardcore fans will enjoy. I felt it to be a real disappointment of a movie and here is why.The romance which I quite like in the series is there, but way too much and the sweet element they have together is lost in the first half hour, too much darkness creeps in here. The truth is this left me with a sour taste as all and the happiness is drained out, with a nice and peaceful start you feel it may be happy and the love will become stronger than ever before, problem is it doesn't and although more the books fault than the movie, still just isn't nice to see four films into it.The acting is as usual all the same, no one improves but to be fair no one gets worse, it just feels like Eclipse part 2. With the enhanced roles of the two of the wolves Seth(Booboo Stewart) and Leah(Julia Jones) it just makes for even more awkward watching and they really don't bring any good acting in, just worse. What I will say is this a film that wants Taylor Lautner to step up and when he does, well he is pretty average as all but still credit to him for being a powerful performer.I can't deny this has action at certain points and it is well done, if not cringe worthy at times but forget about it and the thrills are there anyway. I think this is missing a certain type of action and when you think a fight will happen it either doesn't at all or the scenes are so fast with the camera movements that you get lost quickly and finding who is who is impossible in such scenes.I think with the newcomer director Bill Condon it feels different if not too depressing at times, but he still manages to firmly get it done and make the most out of some terrible things in the script. The main basis for this movie being very poor is to be honest the source material, I think it was written to work well with the end of the book so as a stand alone movie it is much worse than it could have been, and Melissa Rosenberg doesn't help with the adapting either.I enjoyed the score if that can be considered a positive thing about this, Carter Burwell creates a loving score that works well in even the darkest moments and although uses bits and pieces from past films in the franchise, still brings in nice new pieces too. I was saying about the love before and the score does help at the beginning which is why I felt this may not be as bad as I thought it might be, but I was mistaken when it was over.Breaking Dawn Part 1 doesn't set up the second part well and if I were waiting a year for it, I wouldn't have high expectations at all, nevertheless I still feel the book is to blame for the mishap here, not the people behind the scenes, well except Stephanie Meyer of course. Wait until the end of the credits too here, little hint at what's to come in the final film in this mixed up series.
