TRAILER
MY THOUGHTS
OMG... I am actually pretty impressed with the way Summit has tackled The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. Of course I have my swift remarks but I'll add those in later (and when I say swift I don't mean Taylor Swift... see, ha ha... never mind). Anyway, this film did to some extent keep me going and a little on edge, despite the fact that I already knew what was going to happen. But I must mention the films down side. There were several unnecessary points at which one will probably ask themselves "what the h*** am I watching" and become bored until something jumps out to get your attention. SPOILERS: There was a particular part in the film when I absolutely felt lost and I just sat there wondering "how long will this last" was the scene where Bella tells Jacob and Edward the baby names. This boring scene gets interesting when Bella's back bends backwards and she begins going into labor. The Birth of Renesmee scene was pretty epic and I loved the flashing in and out (the music was pretty epic too, and on that note I will be getting the score in December). It was pretty sad when Bella died, but it was really sad that everyone in the theater began to cry... I was like "really people!? Y'all do know she's coming back to life right?" Any who, then the scene were Jacob imprinted on Renesmee... It was pretty tight. And of course the cliff hanger. I was sitting in my set wondering how they were going to pull it off by letting the audience know Bella was still alive but not show her new graceful vampire look. The film closes with the Cullens and Jacob in the room with Bella as her natural beauties switch from dead to stunningly beautiful. The screen scrolls over Bella's eyes and they open newborn red. I have to say It was pretty sexy... oh, my bad. SPOILERS END. I have to be honest and say that the Twilight stars have definitely stepped their game up and did their best to bring Breaking Dawn to life.
That being said, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 gets: ★★★★★ 3 out of 5 Stars
"If you kill her, you kill me!!"
