Well . . . it came and went by without any excitement

Rating: 2/10 (20 November 2011)

Can't really say much that others haven't. Twihards will go no matter what to see this movie, but non twihards should wait until the next one comes out to watch them back to back. It's okay to wait. You won't miss anything if you do, as this movie is so boring that they never should have cut it into 2 movies to make the BILLIONS that Summit wants to make from BD.
Part one of breaking dawn didn't really have anything. I mean if you haven't had sex before then I guess you'll be into the total G sex scene, but if you have had sex before you will laugh until you pee your pants.
Acting is better, but it's still bad so take that for what it is. Thank you to the person who sent Ms. Greene to acting class, and made sure she showed up!! Ms. Stewart still needs help in the acting field. She has that horrible problem of allowing viewers to see her rehearse her lines in her head before saying them on the screen. It's distracting. Mr. Patterson seemed amused throughout the whole movie like he couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth either. THE BOOK DIALOGUE IS JUST NOT THERE PEOPLE.
They changed parts of the story for the movie. Pretty much everything w/ the wolves was rewritten a bit or twisted so that it is not really enjoyable to watch. Even what the going ons at the island were altered enough from the book to annoy me. Interactions I was looking forward to between the characters didn't happen, even though they were small interactions I would have loved to see them. Like the intro of BD where the boys got Bella the "before car". It showed their sense of humor as well as the love.
After viewing Part One of Breaking Dawn, I feel that it is a cinema failure because it should not have been broken into 2 movies. The "cliffhanger" didn't leave me salivating for Part 2, just more thinking that they're so gonna rewrite the story just to put more battle scenes to satisfy people who already don't like the story and think it's boring.
Honestly the first twilight was the best. Maybe it was the mystical feel in the filming, but these sequels are too much glitter and not enough soul.
The books aren't literature, and the movies aren't blockbuster worthy, but they are an escape from reality for a short time. I only wish that executives and Meyers took more pride in their projects instead of letting them become so shallow.
S. Meyers thinks there is a backlash on her books and movies because of all the publicity and hype. In a way she is correct. The backlash comes from people who read her saga, then read other series with the same subject. After reading other series such as the Vampire Academy, her fans have realized that Meyers writing is indeed elementary, and other authors have written better books, but without the publicity she has received.
