    Breaking Dawn - Best Twilight Movie Yet!

    by lmatthews76

    As a fan of the Twilight book series and subsequent movie adaptations, I loved Breaking Dawn. Nearly every part of it was great. However, I do wish I had pre- watched it because I would not have taken my 9 year old with me if I had. I feel this movie stretches the bounds of its PG-13 rating more than the other movies in this series.

    Wonderful Film/Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

    by

    The Movie was AWESOME!! The wedding was beautiful! I teared up. The honeymoon- tastefully done, and my daughter-in-law and I were sooooo disappointed when the movie ended! Now we have to wait another year to see the second part!!

    What a GREAT show this was!!

    Very disappointing

    by jmmain21

    Felt that the movie lasted way longer than it needed to. I just don't understand how you can go from Eclipse being the best out of the saga to this. It tried to stay true to the book but took too long to get to the point.

    Worth going for true Twi-hards!

    by brantleyt

    I went to the Midnight opening because I could not wait!!!!! I was concerned when I found out they were making Breaking Dawn into 2 movies, but I was very pleased that the movie was done that way after watching Part 1. Having Part 1 and Part 2- it gave us fans the ability to have a more complete understanding of the depth of the characters and the length needed for the wedding, honeymoon and birthing scene. Of course I hate to have to wait another year for Part 2; however, the final movie will be jammed packed with Bella becoming a vampire, Nessie, introductions of the other vampire covens and the HUGE battle scene!

    I will be going back for a second and maybe a third time to see it at the theater - only due to the excitement from the other movie goers that were quite vocal making missed dialogue in some parts. I'm hoping that the twi-hards will be alittle quiter this time around!

    Skip This One!

    by jill7983

    Not only is it a slow-paced movie, the story line is somewhat disturbing. It is also unnecessarily gory. I was okay with the first three Twilight movies, but this one was truly horrible!

    Not as good as the others

    by mikbraun

    But you have to see it if you've seen the others...and definitely have to see it to set you up for the last one. This and the next movie could've easily been made into one epic movie. Lots of slow drawn out chunks in this one and not near enough action. They went out of their way to stretch one half of the book into a full feature film. Clearly a marketing ploy to get money out of us for an extra show.

    You won't be disappointed!!! Met expectations..

    by Lcknicks

    Very good movie. I enjoyed it. I read the book twice so I was hoping it would live up to my expectations. It did!!! Thank goodness they broke it down into 2 parts. Must see it to believe it... Edward is still hot and sexy and so is Jacob. Can't wait for part 2. Can't wait to see it all over again on DVD. You won't be disappointed. The wolves look awesome.

    AMAZING!

    by Alaynaj

    I believe this was the best of the twilight series. It stood up to my expectations and even surpassed some others. If you are a twilight fan this is a definite must see! The next one, can't wait!

    Anticipating the Rest...

    by DdysGrl83

    I Loved Breaking Dawn Part 1, the director kept the movie as true to the book as possible. I enjoyed seeing the characters moving on to the next milestones in their lives. I cant say enough about how the Twilight series makes my heart speed up and life slow down, the feeling is one in a million. I have to say, when this whole saga begin, I was a skeptic, and wanted no parts of it... But I am hooked and I've seen the movies multiple times ( including Breaking Dawn) and I love the books. Can't wait til Part 2 is here....
    If you haven't read the books the movies hardly make sense, but you can get by without reading them. There are some inside jokes in Breaking Dawn that wouldn't make sense unless you've read the books.

    Loved it!!

    by ohio57

    I enjoyed everything about it - wish it was longer and had more from the book. But it was like you could feel the love between Edward & Bella coming through the screen. Hate that part 2 is so far away! I loved seeing Stephanie Meyer (writer) at the wedding!! Unbelievable how bad they made Bella look - so very real with the baby and then when she became a vampire so beautiful!!! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us. Just bring part 2 out before next November!! ALSO, please let people know of the little blurb they show after the credits - so many got up and left - I did the first time I saw it - the second time someone said to stay after the credits to see the last part.
