Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 I thought it was really enjoyable and one of the best of the series, which is surprising because I really wasn't a fan of the book. It's a lot of fun and surprisingly enough, Kristen Stewart out acts everyone. She's great in this. Also, I adored Anna Kendrick in her role, I always wished Bella's friends characters were bigger when I was reading the book. I loved her toast, it was hysterical. I'm really surprised about all of the hype with the sex scenes though, they were exactly like the book (AKA, kiss kiss, bed breaks, cut to black). Nothing graphic at all in that department. The birth scene was great and intense, loved how they filmed it and it ended on the perfect note. I can't believe we have to wait an entire year for Part 2, they really should release it in the summer.
8/10

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Surprisingly I thought it was the best of the sequels. It's not without its hokeyness, like a certain imprinting scene, but it gets enough right to overlook that. It was nice to see the series return back to its romantic roots. That was what I loved about the first and found the romance really sweet and involving. But the second and third had none of that spark. I'm more a fan of the romance aspect than the action aspect, so I was totally fine with "Breaking Dawn: Part I" being mostly action free. I didn't think it was as romantic as the first, maybe due to the second and third making me less involved in the romance, but it was the most enjoyable it has been since "Twilight."
Really liked where it ended too. I haven't read the books but it seemed like the perfect spot.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 The imprinting scene was even more ridiculous in the book. I thought it was done decently in the movie.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Well I didn't read the books, and if they had to do it I'm sure it could have been worse, but that doesn't mean it isn't snicker-worthy .

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Good movie. The birth and transformation was done really well. People were on the edge of there seats at the last 5 mins. There will be a huge disconnect between critics and fans for this film.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Yeah, because the fans don't care about quality.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 movies35 wrote: The imprinting scene was even more ridiculous in the book. I thought it was done decently in the movie. I didn't mind it. Sure it's extremely melodramatic--with Jacob dropping to his knees--but the Twilight movies are in general, so it's of a piece. Everything is heightened and passionate and goofy. _________________1.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 I might see this with my friend on Tuesday again because she really wants to see it.  I still think it may be the best Twilight flick (though I was actually watching the first on TV a few days ago, and I fell in love with it all over again) and if it's not the best, it's damn close. Eclipse is the only one that disappointed me.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Nothing of relevance happens in this movie for the first 100 minutes. It's not even very funny after the first 45, just dull.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 While the other films were somewhat decent, this one just falls apart and is a complete mess. Makes me wonder what Part 2 is even about as its teaser also gave the look of nothingness this film became. *

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Totally WTF. Though the birth scene is at least somewhat fascinating.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 This was amazing, and fuck anyone who says it or the other ones aren’t quality movies. These films are absolutely amazing and deserves awards attention. Bella’s birth was filmed so well
