![]() Okay, fine, this film is actually pretty decent, but come on, man, you would think that they could pump more excitement into a film that's basically about a vampire mating with a teenaged human, especially when we're dealing with the director of "Kinsey", for goodness' sake. With its faithful depiction of key passages and lines, BREAKING DAWN is likely to please Twihards but could disturb casual fans.Hey, one of the cooler things that you can say about this film is that it marks the "twilight" of a mediocre series we're tired of, which should, of course, let you know how low this film's standard of cool is. "baby" arguments that by the time the birth happens, it's just a relief to be done with the discussion. The thin plot (no one really believes the wolves are a threat with Jacob so devoted to Bella, so it's all about the pregnancy) is so over-the-top with the "fetus" vs. Stewart and Pattinson's penchant for broodiness is perfectly matched with Bella's sickly and Edward's bereft demeanor. At least Lautner finally shows that he can do more than scowl and show off his six-pack as he grieves (and cries!) for his beloved best friend. Director Bill Condon faithfully focuses on the soap-operaish bits - the quickie wedding (which provides the movie's first and last look at Bella's hilariously confused human friends, who wonder, "Who gets married at 18?"), the romantic honeymoon, and the ensuing high-risk pregnancy that culminates in one of the most horrific birth scenes (worse than Rosemary's Baby!) ever put on film.Īfter Bella discovers her pregnancy, the movie basically turns into a pro-life discussion, which will endear some viewers and appall others. ![]() This first installment in the two-part finale is all relationship melodrama with very little action, so fans of the special effects-driven fight scenes will be disappointed. ![]()
