Now.. kiss!

Rating: 3/10 (23 November 2012)

Damn.
I was a fan of the first three books.. then came the fourth and I didn't like it. Well, actually I didn't like the ending: all blah, blah, blah, making you believe there's gonna be this huge terrible fight and then nothing. So I knew what I had to expect from the last movie. But damn. That movie was even worse than the book and I'm still amazed how that could be accomplished.
I liked the previous movies somehow.. with "Eclipse" being my 'favorite' one. And I couldn't really see why everyone was complaining about Kristen Stewart or the whole cast for that matter. I don't know why, maybe I didn't want to see it before or this movie was just so very bad. But the acting was terrible. I mean, really, really terrible.
For example this whole "I'll fight with you" - scene. I can't shake the feeling the director wanted to imitate the scene from Lord of the Rings at Erlond's council, where everyone stood by Frodo. I swear I almost saw Gimli in "Breaking Dawn" offering Bella his ax.. and a moment later chop her head off. Nah, seriously though they tried to create an intense scene and failed. Miserably.
And the romance was... I don't know. It is almost like the director is a 13-year old person who has the power to make people kiss; if they want to or not. Combine that with awkward CGI effects and you have an awkward movie.
But hey, at least Bella wasn't all that dependent on Edward - she was now the one protecting him. Which was a nice change, but the fact remains that the Twilight-Saga (movies and books alike) is a real bad example for girls and women everywhere. Frankly, if I were to have kids I wouldn't want them to become like Bella: no self-respect and her entire world depends on one man for whom she does everything without question.
Long story short, this movie sucked. And the only reason I'm not rating it with 1 star is that I had a few laughs, thanks to Emmett and Charlie.
