The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 Review

Release Date: November 18th 2011 Starring: Billy burke, Jackson rathbone, Matt bushhell Director: Bill Condon

If you are likely to check out this film, I doubt this review will minimize you. Since vampire mania swept the world with all the relieve 'Twilight' back in 2008, the Twilight Saga has exploded from bad to worse. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 can be an illustration of everything wrong using the Twilight franchise. Like myself, if you're not the main teenage 'twihard' demographic, avoid this grim sequel at any cost.

Team Edward! Team Jacob! It's hard to look at a motion picture, if you have a cinema full of screaming teenagers around you. Because film opened with this first glimpse of Edward, a vampire (Pattinson) and Edwards friend jacob (Lautner), the screams from at least 200 girls beckoned. Staying silent, I've got to have counted four other men from the cinema at most, no doubt dragged to find out the film by their 'twihard' girlfriends.

As the film progressed the screams died down, along with the laughs grew. Where Harry Potter took advantage of telling its story between two films, breaking dawn almost gets to be a self-parody. The film's opening could well be it's strongest point. Mortal Accogliente (Stewart), who still can't catch a grin, is finally engaged and getting married for the passion for her lifetime, the sparkly vampire Edward Cullen. The wedding ceremony speech montage from friends with the wedding couple is the better moment inside the film. It is a shame it's cut short to get a quick cliche stare down between rivals Jacob and Edward (with Lautner delivering almost enough sarcasm to really make the scene remotely interesting).

That is where 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 by which every girl inside the audience, and a few guys oddly enough erupted into cheers) leads to Bella falling pregnant. Now find out her human womb struggles to handle a foetus that's half vampire and the race to help keep her alive begins. As the Cullen clan keep Bella alive, the film needs a stake to the heart with many 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 safe to say, if you aren't on top of things while using Twilight mythology, this film can not work as being a standalone.

Some tips i found most disappointing was from an outsider's perspective, the script deliberately avoided anything that could have designed for compelling drama, to ensure that the film to keep as light, cliched entertainment. Edward's hesitation over fathering a child that will 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 see how this film managed to pass having a 12A rating. Perhaps some salvation might come from the film potentially putting 13-year-old girls off pregnancy. Judging by the deafening screams of cheers through the audience, Breaking Dawn somehow seems to do just enough to acquire fans excited for the sequel. I would like to imagine we would finally see an action packed vampire/werewolf showdown, however, if the last films will pass by, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Verdict: 2/5

As someone who has been made to watch all four with the Twilight films, I will say that is undoubtedly the worst from the bunch. In spite of a few of the better acting in the series, pacing problems, awful tricks as well as a relatively boring script highlight that this is but one franchise that simply won't die. Still, I own a year to brace myself for the next one
