The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I was very impressed with its film. If you watch it without reading the book, then it will probably seem confusing and weird, but if you know all the vampire-werewolf history, etc, then you have a much higher chance at enjoying it :) Overall, it was utterly romantic and emotionally heart-wrenching. It captured Edward and Bella's love in an enchanting fairytale way and delivered just the right amount of horror and pain at the unforgettable climax. Above all, it gave us gorgeous romance and raised the emotional stakes while delivering all the feels. I loved it. Obviously, it had both pros and cons, but here's a rundown of what I thought: Pros: - It was visually lovely, and the cinematography and soundtrack were both great. - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart seriously topped their games. Their chemistry was brilliantly on point, their acting held up a lot better than their efforts in the previous films, and despite the fact that they have always had solid chemistry, their connection in this film was hugely deepened and incredibly emotional; as well as beautifully romantic. I was literally swaying as I watched the honeymoon scenes; their interactions were beautiful, and their chemistry was simply enchanting. - Not surprisingly, Billy Burke and Anna Kendrick were as brilliant and comically refreshing as ever. They only got a few minutes of screen time each, but once again, they proved to me that they are two of the best things about this franchise. They delivered some of the best lines with delightful and refreshing charisma. - In contrast, the whole Cullen family got a nice load of screen time and lines in Breaking Dawn. Admittedly, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed – who portray Esme and Rosalie respectfully – were above the others in acting ability, but all the same I love the Cullens and it was nice to see all of them so much more. Cons: - After three Twilight films, I think we've established that Bella is a weak damsel instead of a role-model-worthy heroine. She was still an idiot in Breaking Dawn; emphasis on the fact that she WANTS TO BIRTH A VAMPIRIC MONSTER. - Taylor Lautner was awful. Just terrible and completely fake. He gets worse with every film, and either he's overacting with too much ego or ripping his shirt off to please the female audience (which he did do in the first few minutes of this film, by the way). He acted with the ego piled on doubly thick and was just plain pathetic. - The action scenes were vague, muddy and very badly choreographed. The werewolf-vs.-vampire fight scene at the end was a perfect example of that. Unlike Eclipse's fantastic climactic fight, the action scenes in Breaking Dawn were totally devoid of real excitement and entertainment. - The whole film was a lot slower than the others. It lacked real tension and had the tendency to drag. While Edward and Bella's scenes gave Breaking Dawn the emotional throb it needed and were additionally and gorgeously romantic, any other scenes lacked that connection and fell short.

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Oh look a NOPEmovie. If you ever come across this film in your travels, do the world a favor; take it from where you have found it, set it gently on the ground, take a machine gun and unload a round or two into it. After you've finished with that, scoop up the remains, then transport those remains to the nearest fire. When there is nothing but ashes left, sweep up those ashes and deposit them into a container of acid. Take that container of acid and travel to the deepest body of water you can find and release that acid into the middle of it. Then we can rest assured it can't hurt anyone else. You can help all of your fellow humans by deciding to take these simple steps to avoid the pain and suffering. Thank you.

Okay, so after quite a while between the movies I once again tentatively stepped into the world of Twilight, an unnervingly fake world, haunted by the soulless eyes of the damned... Nah, they're really not all that bad! I mean they're definitely far from good, but not absolutely awful and in my opinion not quite the apocalyptic motion picture triumphs of arrogance and self-absorption they're made out to be. I think a lot of people hate these so much because much like(totally unwarranted!) Howard the Duck, they're popular to hate. They're indeed freaking beyond pretentious and shallow, but they're also harmless and stupid, and a lot of fun to rag on. I rather enjoy their lousiness, they are very amusing! Like let's talk about the main heroine for a second, a major character whom I have not grown to like or give a crap about in four movies and counting.. There's nothing wrong with Bella, but what's right with her!? She's just constantly creating conflict with her mere presence and keeps playing the two guys off against each other, and why does she have to look so sad and disturbed all the time, even after she's just gotten married to the one she's supposed to love and they're driving away? She's so ridiculous, I do get that the character's meant to be awkward and a little strange, like perhaps she already has a little something supernatural in her somewhere, and I've heard one idiotic theory that she's supposed to be a sort of blank so that girls can imagine themselves in her shoes or something and that's cool, but I've seen other performances from actors who were playing it distant, cold and/or aloof who still managed to instill a little of their own personality into the role that made you care for them in some small way, or at least understand why they are how they are or do what they do, but I guess Kristen Stewart was too cool to bother with anything like that.. Gah, the bitch was wrong for the part! A damn piece of lumber would have made a better lead! I think it's her that really hurts this franchise the most. And Taylor Lautner is such an unremitting tool of a pathetic actor..and ugly, got a weird full-scale dwarf thing going on there.. He no good, no good at all! only thing that gets him by is that six-pack! I hope his career died with these films. And then there was that Edward, he was the same as always, so devoted, so bloated with misery and pathos, always holding himself with such ceaseless funereal leadenness. I like Ed, I think it's a good performance and he created a pretty interesting character. I really enjoyed the early flashback sequence that reveals some of his past, I always find that kind of stuff to be fairly cool in these films. And I liked when the wolves who I guess were the antagonists this time around, pull an Otis and Milo and talk to each other psychically, regarding what's to be done about a certain impending birth, quite a rousing scene. They never do quite get the CGI to look right on those things.. I also loved when they made Bella look all miserable and skinny like a crack addict, the visual effects of her deterioration were astonishing. I appreciated how they handled Bella becoming a vampire, I found it less disturbing there being no other choice to save her life, rather than it being him biting her neck in yet another romantic scene with the annoying music playing which wouldn't have felt right to me, as she was now 'technically' no longer alive and was a bloodless she-thing of the night. But hey, how was she all that different or worse-off than she was before? I enjoyed this one about the same as all the others, I have actually grown to somewhat like this universe and care a little about how it's all gonna turn out, but they never really change or evolve at all, it's just the same thing over and over, it always boils down to vampires against werewolves and the boring girl in the middle, whoever wins I'm vacuously thrilled and entertained. The biggest problem of this one for me was that although it had a plot, there was no story, and what little there was felt noticeably stretched-out to a crazy degree! They get married and have their honeymoon for a good forty+ minutes, she somehow gets pregnant and the magic accelerated birth causes her to slowly die, there's a lot of werewolf politics as the fuzzy-wuzzies for some reason fear the unnatural child and want to kill it even if they have to kill Bella in the process, there's oodles of the usual mundane talking with the three semi-developed characters, the lycanthropes and bloodsuckers have a little skirmish, the baby is born, but to save her life Edward has to transform Bella into a vampire, she awakens, pointless but awesome cameo of the evil vampire elders - that's it! That was quite the cliffhanger of an image to go out on, and a very nice change to the typical flowery scene of nauseating beautified bliss. So all in all, although to me like the rest it fails deliver satisfactorily in the end, the process getting there is a genuinely entertaining one. Bring on the Dawn...I look forward to it.

On November 21, 2008, we were introduced to a whole new world of the supernatural – vampires and the occasional love between a vampire and a mortal. Then the real battle began on November 20, 2009, when the were-wolves came out of the bag, literally and the ever-so-much killing spree of a notorious vampire who was determined to kill the mortal for beheading her mate. Then on June 30, 2010, that same vampire – Victoria, created an army to wipe the Cullen clan off the face of the earth and the supernatural world, but in the end death would meet her in the afterlife as she herself becomes ash and dust. Now we come to November 18, 2011, where the epic battle between what is right and what will be will come to an epic end in Part 1 of the 2-part phenomenal and mesmerizing conclusion to the story of a love that will last into eternity.It all started with a longing, and it will end in happiness. To the creator – Stephanie Meyer, thank you so much for an incredible journey of love, passion and heart – you have given us something that we can cherish for the rest of our lives.
