Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)

Directed by Bill Condon

Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Taylor Lautner

Do we start shedding a tear for the beginning of Bella's departure?

Summit have done a Warner Bros. and have decided to split Stephanie Meyer's final Twilight novel into two films. So far the films have given a nice reinvention. Some of the different takes I welcome. And as teenage films I've found them pretty strong.

Now Bella and her blood sucking love Edward take themselves up the isle to be wedded in bliss.

For a few days on their honeymoon at least. All of a sudden the cynics out there find Twilight more realistic.

Unfortunately it feels as if the end has already occurred. Here there's not much else to go on about. No teenage agnst, no showdowns between love rivals. Taylor Lautner's Jacob is still upset about the couple's union, but even I felt he'll be getting over it soon. Action scenes aren't interesting. Michael Sheen's one second appearance is a tease that's not satisfied.

Towards the end one feels that director Condon was trying to make his own Bride of Frankenstein. But his attempts are only put into place when it's getting late.

One doesn't have much faith for the next installment.

2/5
