    Going for the Harry Potter ending effect, and failing badly, the film consists of some strange scenes and absurdly awful script, the director is better off finishing now while he still has an ounce of dignity, while the actors have no idea what they are doing and clearly haven't ... read morespent time on this kiddie project very much.

    Forget the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1 (wow, that's a long title) finally makes the whole "vampire romance" genre look as dumb as it sounds. The thing that truly makes this a bad film is that it starts off as a sappy romantic drama, and it takes over half... read more the film to evolve back into a supernatural/romantic thriller like the rest of the saga.

    That is certainly not to say that "Twi-hards" will not enjoy this fourth and thankfully penultimate entry into the Twilight Saga. Even the novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer was a huge drop from the previous three, but how could someone who would give anything and everything for this series care? (Not to mention, the drop from the novels Eclipse to Breaking Dawn was not nearly as large as the one we see from the films.)

    Ranked #3 worst of 2011.

    I usually take my time to make a brief but sustancial opinion of movies, but honestly I was expecting a litle bit more for "The Final "SAGA" (yes " " again)"...c'mon! But not this time...so I'll just say: A wedding long enough to become pregnant.

    Breaking Dawn: Part 1 really doesn't have a whole lot to work with and director Bill Condon can't make anything of it.

    The film's run time is 105 minutes, and even though that is under 2 hours, it still comes out as a long tedious journey. Seriously, the most intriguing

    ... read more part of this picture are the last couple minutes, which includes the scene embedded in the closing credits. It takes extremely long for the plot to pick up, and even then there isn't much to sit up for.

    The action is brief and forgettable, much like the first hour of this movie. It doesn't help much when the violence between vampires and werewolves is held in check.

    With a story without much intrigue, the nonchalant acting fits right in. That isn't a positive. Watching Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for nearly the entire first hour is torturous. The characters have no range of emotion and that hurts.

    Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is not an enjoyable sit through and the only reason for the viewing is to fill in the gap between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn: Part 2.

    Okay, so you're girlfriend/boyfriend/"special friend", wants to see Breaking Dawn, part 2 and you don't.
    But if you downright refuse, you know their is going to be hell to pay. So what do you do?

    You watch the film as a comedy.

    But Ken!? Twilight isn't a comedy! It's a mela-dr... read moreamatic "romance" about "vampires".

    Well that's where you're wrong. Breaking Dawn part 1, is like the fever dream of a 12-year-old bi-polar girl. Everything is turned up way past 11, to the rarely used "Mexican Soap Opera" setting. The histrionics of this film makes Showgirls look like it was directed by Ozu. Simply hilarious.

    I am, in no way, shape or form, saying this is a good movie. But, in the right frame of mind, it can be very entertaining. Oh and the cinematography is GORGEOUS. So there's that.

    But come on, how many movies do you get to see a vampire-teeth Cesarean AND a werewolf fall in love with a baby?

    I wouldn't call the Twilight series one of my favorite movie series ever, but it's still one of those in which I like or love every film in the series, even the one ("New Moon") that most people didn't enjoy.

    Not executed well enough. I guess that only the hardcore fans would manage to cherish it. "Breaking Down the Twilight Saga - Part 1" would have been an apt choice of title for the movie IMO. I can only hope that the next part won't create such a feeling for one and all. Amen.

    Director: Bill Condon

    Summary: Not long afte... read morer immortal soul mates Bella Swan and Edward Cullen say "I do," a strange sensation begins to build inside Bella's burgeoning belly. But the couple's unborn child is at risk before she's even born.

    My Thoughts: "With so many negative responses I thought for sure I would dislike this, but I kinda really liked it. I am not one of those crazy obsessed Twilighters, or Twi-hards, I'm not too sure what they call themselves. But I am a fan of the books. I got sucked into them just like the rest. I think Bill Condon has done the best job directing then the ones before. I'm not saying the other's have been awful, but this film just seemed so well put together. Of course people will say it was boring and there wasn't much happening, but it's suppose to play out that way. This film is definitely a build up for whats to come. The acting has definitely improved. It seems to just have gotten better which each film. The movie focuses more on the relationship and less on the ever pending doom of Bella being killed by other vampires. This time she's still possibly going to die, but it's more of a choice. The part I really didn't care for is where the wolf pack is conversing still in wolf form. It was bizarre and just seemed cartoonish. Not a fan of that scene. Finally Alice and Jasper's hair looks right. It has been a mess since the first film. In my opinion of course. I still think the make-up was done the best in the first film as was Edwards hair. Billy Burke has been the most solid actor in all the films and he still delivers some of the best one liners in this movie. The most improved in the films is Kristen Stewart. I really like her other films. But for some reason I just felt her acting was off in these movies. Well the first one at least. But she was great in this one. It ended just were I thought it would and it leaves you wanting more. Can't wait for the second half, because really, that is the one to see."

    I hate Twilight a lot. But nobody can say I am unfair towards it. The third film was actually entertaining and less infuriating. Breaking Dawn Part 1, is different altogether. It is just a horrible product shoved out with no regard for its audience. Bella and Edward get married a... read morend go on honeymoon, this last for over an hour. She gets pregnant, which shouldn't be able to happen, and some potentially evil demon baby is sucking the life from her. The films biggest crime is that nothing happens for so long. This series has had a tendency to drag on and on. With New Moon seeming totally unnecessary. What happens here, is that we get one book split into two films. This film has about 30 minutes of material in it. Characters have the same conversations they've had a thousand times before, with nobody evolving. Bella and Edward feel the same way they've always felt, as does Jacob. The sex scene is embarrassingly juvenile, with a quick cut to something from a parody. The film doesn't let up in the absurdity department, as some animated wolves have a conversation with each other, but with mindless growling and dialog, it sounds terrible. What any other film would have shortened into a montage is played out to a variety of banal songs that all sound the same. Finally we get towards the end and the graphic, grotesque birth scene is barely shown at all. It leaves us with a finale in which a wolf "imprints" himself onto a newborn baby in a scene more disturbing than anything The Human Centipede could muster. If you like characters that whine about everything, actors that have no emotional range, and watching slideshows of other people's honeymoons, then you may enjoy this laughable effort.
