Today I saw the most highly anticipated movie of the entire year(well it is in my opinion anyways)..... you guessed it, The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1!!!!! I went in the afternoon, matinee is just a lil bit cheaper and a lot less crowded lol. Got to the movies on time and got good seats and then the previews started. Seven movie previews preceded the actual movie -____-. The previews were: Snow White and the Huntsman, The Hunger Games, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo(American version), The Lady in Black, Gone, Titanic 3-D, and Man on A Ledge. The suspense was building with every passing preview. So the movie basically starts off with the wedding prep then the wedding. Bella's dress was beautiful but I just did not like the pleating on the front. It had this really pretty lace design on the back and the fabric was perfect. When Bella walked down the isle it looked like she wanted to run back into the house or something but that all changed the moment she locked hands with Edward and looked into his eyes. They had traditional vows and shared many kisses when they were pronounced Mr. & Mrs. Edward Cullen. It seamed like they used like 5 songs from the soundtrack during the wedding scenes and the reception. I was like "Why are they playing all these songs so close together??? They need to chill out with that!" The speeches at the reception were definitely memorable and funny. List of ppl who gave a speech:Charlie, Jessica, Edward, and Renee(who sung a song that was more like a lullaby and cried while she sung) It was pretty hilarious. Then Edward took Bella in the woods for a surprise gift...Jacob(who had runaway and had been missing since he got his invitation to the wedding). Edward went back to the reception and left Bella and Jacob alone. They danced together and everything was going fine until Jacob just had to ruin it by asking about the honeymoon and getting angry at Bella for what she was going to do. Then when he grabbed Bella, Edward and the wolves appeared to talk some sense into Jacob and get him to leave. Edward and Bella went on their honeymoon to a private island called Isle Esme. Then there was a bed breaking, pillow tearing up sex scene. After bruising Bella and feeling guilty Edward basically decides that they are not going to have sex again. So instead they do other things like play a lot of chess, explore the island, and go swimming b the waterfall. One day Edward goes to the mainland for something I can't remember and Bella cooks herself some chicken. After eating some chicken she starts to feel sick and throws up blaming it on food poisoning. Then she comes to the realization that she has missed her period omg she is pregnant!!! They end their honeymoon and go back home to Forks to the Cullen's house(although they did lie to Charlie and said they were still on vacation) Then to keep things short, Jacob breaks away from the pack and becomes an alpha of his own pack along with Leah and Seth. They protect Bella and her fetus from Sam and his disciples. Bella progressively gets worse as the fetus gets older taking nutrients and things that give her strength. Eventually they figure since the baby is part vampire, they should have Bella drink blood. And it works!!! She starts to get a lil bit better and her heart beats stronger. They remove the baby from Bella(Very graphic scene!!! Edward has to bite her stomach to get through the amniotic sac.) Out comes a beautiful baby girl and Bella dies. Edward then injects morphine and bites Bella numerous times to turn her. Then a fight scene,the Cullens and Jacob's pack vs Sam's pack. Then they are told that they can't kill the baby because Jacob has imprinted on her. Bella is in a coma like state for days appearing to still be dead until the venom starts to kick in and her body starts healing and filling out giving her a healthy appearance. Then she opens her eyes(bright red ravenous vampire eyes) The End!!!
ok so for the review whew that was a long summary lol. It represented the book well but I still prefer the book because of the extra details you get. This movie was to me visually worse than eclipse although the special effects were really good. The part where you hear what the wolves were thinking was really weird though because they sounded like transformers -___-. The way Kristen Stewart looked in this movie kind of scared me. Her face was all sunken in and her collar bones and shoulder blades stuck out(Very unhealthy anorexic look) I hate cliff hangers so I kinda wish I didn't see it and the other part of me wants to see this movie every day until part 2 comes out next year(hopefully the push up the date*crosses fingers*) This movie had the most normal kissing scenes for Rob and Kristen(In all the other twilight movies they kiss very awkwardly) This movie seemed shorter than the other movies. Idk what is gonna happen in part 2, to me there aren't that many important things that happen(not enough for another movie anyways. I'm very curious to see what they chose to show in part 2) Taylor looked so grown up with the facial hair(In the book he had longer hair again like in Twilight). It really suits him and his acting is getting better. I thought the movie was going to be shown through Bella's perspective first and then through Jacob's like the book. In the movie it was basically through Bella's perspective like the other movies. Everybody stepped up their acting in this movie. Overall the movie was pretty good I would rate it 7.5/10 stars(score is a reflection of my personal opinion and the fact that I hate cliff hangers!!!!)
