Review Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

Finally the big day has arrived, Bella is marrying Edward. Everyone in the town was happy except of course Jacob who still have hard on Bella. Then comes the honey moon which is supposed to be a time of a lifetime, which is of course is the case but there is something more in the aftermath. Bella is conceiving Edward’s baby which is preposterous because in the Twilight universe, a vampire cannot produce offspring. But it only takes seconds in Stephanie Meyer’s mind to concoct a plot to explain this.

Bella is played by Kristen Stewart who in this film has a serious physical turnout. It is as if she is suffering from anorexia nervosa as you can see directly in her severely emaciated looks. Edward, played by Rob pattinson is still calm as he is but I do not see any improvement in his character, and he progressively becomes the secondary character people less care about. The unbearably handsome Taylor Lautner plays Jacob who now learn to be more accepting and forgiving even things do not go naturally in the direction you wish it is heading.

This is by far the best in the series, perhaps because it has elements of horror and sexuality which are practically non-existent in previous films but the studio are playing safe by pushing the limit of a PG-13 rating and avoid going all the way for a more proper “R” rating. The plot and story is still stupid but none of these matters anymore because we grow caring more about these fictional characters. A lot of critic trashes this film yet the movie is selling like a juggernaut around the world. That is perhaps the movie deals with young people conflict and to learn how to solve conflict between yourself and the environment, which young people especially teenagers can really connect to. It might be stupid alright. But again those critics had aged for years and forgot the feeling to be young and stupid.
