Well Done Bill Condon!

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2011)

Bill Condon has managed, with Breaking Dawn Part 1, to do what directors of "Twilight" "New Moon" and "Eclipse" have failed to do... Stay true to the book! As a Twilight fan, I of course have seen all the previous movie's countless times, however each film seemed to be lacking something, and each time the credits rolled for each film I found myself wondering if, had I not read the books before hand, I would have understood the storyline the way I did. This was not so in Breaking Dawn Part 1.
Like many other fans I do not mind admitting that I was extremely worried about seeing this film, I feared that the story would not be able to be portrayed well on screen and that key elements of the story would be omitted as they have been with previous films, for the simple reason that "It was just too hard to show on screen". But I needn't have worried Condon managed to do the story justice, with help of beyond excellent actors, extravagant special effects, and a script writer who definitely knows her audience.
Condon had the hardest job of all the "Twilight" directors, and not just because of Breaking Dawn's tricky, and sometimes controversial storyline, but because he also had to clear up all the mistakes caused by the franchise's previous directors.
So I say again... Well done Bill Condon!!
