Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Thank you, RiffTrax. Without you, I couldn't have made it through The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. This movie is awful, plain and simple. The acting and dialogue are terrible, as I've come to expect with this franchise, and it's an incredibly boring movie. You can practically hear the filmmakers stretching scenes out so the razor-thin plot could be spread over two movies. The only redeeming quality of Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is the visual effects that were used to make Kristen Stewart look terrible. This isn't a good movie - if you think it is, you're lying to yourself.

Rating-4/10 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1 is the first part of the end of this massively popular franchise. The problem is this is just very poor and is among it's predecessors not good yet again, it tries hard this time there is no doubt but just too little happens in the plot to muster an interesting movie that none Twilight hardcore fans will enjoy. I felt it to be a real disappointment of a movie and here is why.The romance which I quite like in the series is there, but way too much and the sweet element they have together is lost in the first half hour, too much darkness creeps in here. The truth is this left me with a sour taste as all and the happiness is drained out, with a nice and peaceful start you feel it may be happy and the love will become stronger than ever before, problem is it doesn't and although more the books fault than the movie, still just isn't nice to see four films into it.The acting is as usual all the same, no one improves but to be fair no one gets worse, it just feels like Eclipse part 2. With the enhanced roles of the two members of the wolves Seth(Booboo Stewart) and Leah(Julia Jones) it just makes for even more awkward watching and they really don't bring any good acting in, just worse. What I will say is this a film that wants Taylor Lautner to step up and when he does, well he is pretty average as all but still credit to him for being a powerful performer.I can't deny this has action at certain points and it is well done, if not cringe worthy at times but forget about it and the thrills are there anyway. I think this is missing a certain type of action and when you think a fight will happen it either doesn't at all or the scenes are so fast with the camera movements that you get lost quickly and finding who is who is impossible in such scenes.I think with the newcomer director Bill Condon it feels different if not too depressing at times, but he still manages to firmly get it done and make the most out of some terrible things in the script. The main basis for this movie being very poor is to be honest the source material, I think it was written to work well with the end of the book so as a stand alone movie it is much worse than it could have been, and Melissa Rosenberg doesn't help with the adapting either.I enjoyed the score if that can be considered a positive thing about this, Carter Burwell creates a loving score that works well in even the darkest moments and although uses bits and pieces from past films in the franchise, still brings in nice new pieces too. I was saying about the love before and the score does help at the beginning which is why I felt this may not be as bad as I thought it might be, but I was mistaken when it was over.Breaking Dawn Part 1 doesn't set up the second part well and if I were waiting a year for it, I wouldn't have high expectations at all, nevertheless I still feel the book is to blame for the mishap here, not the people behind the scenes, well except Stephanie Meyer of course. Wait until the end of the credits too here, little hint at what's to come in the final film in this mixed up series.

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Oh look a NOPEmovie. If you ever come across this film in your travels, do the world a favor; take it from where you have found it, set it gently on the ground, take a machine gun and unload a round or two into it. After you've finished with that, scoop up the remains, then transport those remains to the nearest fire. When there is nothing but ashes left, sweep up those ashes and deposit them into a container of acid. Take that container of acid and travel to the deepest body of water you can find and release that acid into the middle of it. Then we can rest assured it can't hurt anyone else. You can help all of your fellow humans by deciding to take these simple steps to avoid the pain and suffering. Thank you.

On November 21, 2008, we were introduced to a whole new world of the supernatural – vampires and the occasional love between a vampire and a mortal. Then the real battle began on November 20, 2009, when the were-wolves came out of the bag, literally and the ever-so-much killing spree of a notorious vampire who was determined to kill the mortal for beheading her mate. Then on June 30, 2010, that same vampire – Victoria, created an army to wipe the Cullen clan off the face of the earth and the supernatural world, but in the end death would meet her in the afterlife as she herself becomes ash and dust. Now we come to November 18, 2011, where the epic battle between what is right and what will be will come to an epic end in Part 1 of the 2-part phenomenal and mesmerizing conclusion to the story of a love that will last into eternity.It all started with a longing, and it will end in happiness. To the creator – Stephanie Meyer, thank you so much for an incredible journey of love, passion and heart – you have given us something that we can cherish for the rest of our lives.
