Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, The : Movie Review


This is about enough. I can’t watch cement-faced Kristen Stewart and passive, pasty faced Robert Pattinson as Bella and Edward anymore, unless they change the act. SO many trials and tribulations, so much angst, blah, blah.

Everything is too much in this ironically bloodless exercise, a ‘will she or won’t she’ soap opera coated in blood starring a couple of milquetoasts. To quote Elaine Benes, "Die already!"

How many minutes of film have found Bella weighing love with Edward the vampire against leading a ‘normal’ life? Well, not that many, it’s Edward who is to blame for dragging this thing out over how many films? How many times must we be reminded how in love they are and what a danger it is to her? We get it.

The rationale is that fans of the book and the film franchise will eat it up, whatever is served.
