The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 Review

Release Date: November 18th 2011 Starring: Kristen Stewart, Taylor lautner, Rachelle lefervre Director: Bill Condon

If you're planning to check out this film, I doubt this review will stop you. Since vampire mania swept the globe using the launch of 'Twilight' back 2008, the Twilight Saga is growing from bad to worse. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is an instance of everything wrong with all the Twilight franchise. Like myself, if you aren't the main teenage 'twihard' demographic, avoid this grim sequel no matter what.

Team Edward! Team Jacob! It is difficult to observe a movie, for those who have a cinema full of screaming teenagers near you. As the film opened with our first glimpse of A vampire named edward (Pattinson) and Jacob (Lautner), the screams from a minimum of 200 girls beckoned. Staying silent, I must have counted four other men in the cinema at most, no doubt dragged to find out the film by their 'twihard' girlfriends.

Because film progressed the screams died down, along with the laughs grew. Where Harry Potter took advantage of telling its story between two films, alluc.org almost turns into a self-parody. The film's opening might just be it's strongest point. Mortal Accogliente (Stewart), who still can't catch a smile, is finally engaged and getting married towards the passion for her life, the sparkly vampire A vampire named edward. Wedding ceremony speech montage from friends in the bride and groom is the foremost moment within the film. It is a shame it's cut short for any quick cliche stare down between rivals Jacob and Edward (with Lautner delivering nearly enough sarcasm to help make the scene remotely interesting).

That's where the romance story ends. There after, the flick transcends right into a rather grotesque soap opera. An anticlimactic lovemaking scene between Bella and Edward (during where every girl inside the audience, plus some guys curiously erupted into cheers) contributes to Bella falling pregnant. Now we discover out her human womb struggles to manage a foetus that's half vampire along with the race to maintain her alive begins. As the Cullen clan try to keep Bella alive, the film needs a stake on the heart with some laughable conversations between CGI wolves, who swear revenge for Bella's life becoming threatened from the Cullens. It's almost impossible to really make the plot be the better choice. It's reliable advice, if you're not in control while using Twilight mythology, this film does not work as being a standalone.

A few things i found most disappointing was from an outsider's perspective, the script deliberately avoided any situation that would've generated for compelling drama, for the film to remain as light, cliched entertainment. Edward's hesitation over fathering a child that could kill his wife, and Jacobs test of loyalty to his tribe went completely unexplored, instead the film centered on making Bella look as grotesque as possible while she struggles to survive her potentially terminal pregnancy. From her illness, to her gore fest caesarean, I struggled to determine how this film been able to pass using a 12A rating. Perhaps some salvation might range from film potentially putting 13-year-old girls off pregnancy. Judging by the deafening screams of cheers from your audience, Breaking Dawn somehow is able to do just enough to acquire fans excited to the sequel. Let me imagine we might finally see an action packed vampire/werewolf showdown, in case some of the last films are to go by, I would not get my hopes up.

Verdict: 2/5

As someone who has been expected to watch all 4 of the Twilight films, I'm able to say this is undoubtedly the worst of the bunch. In spite of many of the better acting in the series, pacing problems, awful computer graphics as well as a relatively boring script highlight that this is one franchise that just won't die. Still, I've got a year to brace myself for an additional one
