The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 Review

Release Date: November 18th 2011 Starring: Christian serratos, Jackson rathbone, Taylor Lautner Director: Bill Condon

In case you are likely to see this film, I doubt this review stop you. Since vampire mania swept the globe with the release of 'Twilight' in 2008, the Twilight Saga has grown from bad to worse. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is surely an demonstration of everything wrong while using Twilight franchise. Like myself, if you're not part of the teenage 'twihard' demographic, avoid this grim sequel at any cost.

Team Edward! Team Jacob! It's difficult to view a film, when you have a cinema brimming with screaming teenagers around you. As the film opened with this first peek at A vampire named edward (Pattinson) and Jacob (Lautner), the screams from a minimum of 200 girls beckoned. Staying silent, I've got to have counted four other men in the cinema at most, no doubt dragged to find out the film by their 'twihard' girlfriends.

Since the film progressed the screams died down, and also the laughs grew. Where Harry Potter took advantage of telling its story between two films, alluc almost gets to be a self-parody. The film's opening is possibly it's strongest point. Mortal Our bella (Stewart), who still can't catch a grin, is finally having a wedding towards the love of her life, the sparkly vampire Edward, a vampire. Wedding ceremony speech montage from friends with the groom and bride is the foremost moment in the film. Bad it's cut short for any quick cliche stare down between rivals Jacob and Edward (with Lautner delivering almost enough sarcasm to make the scene remotely interesting).

This is why the romance story ends. After that, the flick transcends in a rather grotesque soap opera. An anticlimactic lovemaking scene between Bella and Edward (during where every girl within the audience, and a few guys oddly enough erupted into cheers) brings about Bella falling pregnant. At this time find out her human womb struggles to manage a foetus that's half vampire as well as the race to maintain her alive begins. Because Cullen clan maintain Bella alive, the film needs a stake towards the heart by incorporating laughable conversations between CGI wolves, who swear revenge for Bella's life becoming threatened with the Cullens. It's nearly impossible to make the plot sound right. It's reliable advice, if you aren't up to date with the Twilight mythology, this film doesn't work being a standalone.

A few things i found most disappointing was from an outsider's perspective, the script deliberately avoided anything that might have generated for compelling drama, to ensure 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 you possibly can while she struggles to outlive her potentially terminal pregnancy. From her illness, to her gore fest caesarean, I struggled to find out how this film was able to pass having a 12A rating. Perhaps some salvation might range from film potentially putting 13-year-old girls off pregnancy. Just by the deafening screams of cheers from the audience, Breaking Dawn somehow manages to function enough to have fans excited for the sequel. I want to imagine we might finally see an action packed vampire/werewolf showdown, but if any of the last films are going to pass by, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Verdict: 2/5

As somebody who may be expected to watch all 4 with the Twilight films, I'm able to say this really is by far the worst in the bunch. Despite the presence of many of the better acting of the series, pacing problems, awful tricks along with a relatively boring script highlight that this is a franchise that merely won't die. Still, I've got a year to brace myself for the next one
