The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 Review

Release Date: November 18th 2011 Starring: Ashley greene, Nikki reed, Rachelle lefervre Director: Bill Condon

If you are gonna check this out film, I doubt this review will minimize you. Since vampire mania swept the world with the release of 'Twilight' last 2008, the Twilight Saga has grown from bad to worse. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is definitely an demonstration of everything wrong with all the Twilight franchise. Like myself, if you're not part of the teenage 'twihard' demographic, avoid this grim sequel at all costs.

Team Edward! Team Jacob! It's tough to look at a show, for those who have a cinema packed with screaming teenagers around you. Since the film opened with the first look at Edward, a vampire (Pattinson) and John (Lautner), the screams from a minimum of 200 girls beckoned. Staying silent, I must have counted four other men within the cinema at the most, no doubt dragged to determine the film by their 'twihard' girlfriends.

As the film progressed the screams died down, and also the laughs grew. Where Harry Potter benefited from telling its story between two films, watch breaking dawn part 1 almost becomes a self-parody. The film's opening might just be it's strongest point. Mortal Our bella (Stewart), who still can't catch a smile, is finally having a wedding towards the love of her lifetime, the sparkly vampire Edward, a vampire. The marriage speech montage from friends in the happy couple is the greatest moment in the film. Bad it's cut short to get a quick cliche stare down between rivals Jacob and Edward (with Lautner delivering pretty much enough sarcasm to really make the scene remotely interesting).

This is why the romance story ends. From then on, the flick transcends right into a rather grotesque soap opera. An anticlimactic lovemaking scene between Bella and Edward (during in which every girl within the audience, and several guys strangely enough erupted into cheers) results in Bella falling pregnant. At this point we discover out her human womb struggles to handle a foetus that's half vampire and the race to hold her alive begins. Because Cullen clan try to keep Bella alive, the film requires a stake towards the heart with a few laughable conversations between CGI wolves, who swear revenge for Bella's life becoming threatened with the Cullens. It's extremely difficult to make the plot add up. It's pretty sure, if you aren't in control while using Twilight mythology, this film can not work like a standalone.

What I found most disappointing was from an outsider's perspective, the script deliberately avoided something that would have made for compelling drama, to ensure the film to keep as light, cliched entertainment. Edward's hesitation over fathering a child that may kill his wife, and Jacobs test of loyalty to his tribe went completely unexplored, instead the film devoted to making Bella look as grotesque as you possibly can while she struggles to survive her potentially fatal pregnancy. From her illness, to her gore fest caesarean, I struggled to determine how this film was able to pass with a 12A rating. Perhaps some salvation might range from film potentially putting 13-year-old girls off pregnancy. From the deafening screams of cheers in the audience, Breaking Dawn somehow manages to just do enough to obtain fans excited to the sequel. I want to imagine we would finally see an action packed vampire/werewolf showdown, however, if the last films will be to pass, I would not get my hopes up.

Verdict: 2/5

As someone who continues to be made to watch all in the Twilight films, I'm able to say that is by far the worst of the bunch. Despite having many of the better acting with the series, pacing problems, awful tricks as well as a relatively boring script highlight that this is one franchise that just won't die. Still, I own a year to brace myself for the next one
