When my dear sweet sister was about nine years old, I made a promise that I would take her to every Twilight movie. She was really into it at the time, and I wanted to be a good big sister. After watching the first three, number one consisting of lack of story, number two being filled with shirtless Native Americans and squealing girls, and to be honest I blanked out during number 3, I was getting a little annoyed.
Now, Breaking Dawn part 1 was in theatres and it wasn't that I didn't want to take my beautiful sister to see it, I was just very busy with things in my life. I had moved to Portland, and she was a good 2 hours away by car. I saw the trailers for the new one a few times when my friends and I would go out for other movies, and it was always in the back of my mind to remember to take her. Keeping my promises to this little girl is a very serious matter for me, because the other adults weren't so great at it. (Ya know?)
As it turned out, she came over to my house a little late. I had no idea that the movie was ever in theatres, and she was a little disappointed. This wore on my mind, so I went out and bought it when it came out on DVD. Luckily, my roommate came with a big LCD T.V.
My plan was to do the works. Popcorn, candy, soda, ice cream, all for this adorable little princess I consider my flesh and blood. When I was about 14, I was one of the first people to read the Twilight saga in my school. So I knew all about it, it was totally my thing. (I admit ) I decided that I would watch it first, that way I could see how horrible they had slashed my childhood. The memory of my god loving grandmother listening to me talk about the books was hysterical. You see I didn't understand that she was against Harry Potter, and yet she was hearing her first Grandchild praise vampires.
Moving on.
Now my childhood was threatened by the case of the DVD box. During all of the movies, Taylor was shirtless, but I figured that all the heat from shirtless men jokes got the director, because for some unfathomable reason, he was wearing a shirt. This was strange, it confused me. Kristin still looked lifeless, and Robert had an odd shaped head, they hadn't changed, but I still felt weary. The cover was very boring by the way. The background is just a bunch of flipping wolves, where are the scenes of majestic you spend millions of dollars to Washington, Oregon, and Columbia at?
So with Breaking Dawn part one, we continue to Bella's fucking wedding. Yay! (-_-)
The opening is all wrong, but at least Jacobs's first scene was of him ripping his shirt off and stomping out into the woods like a little kid told no for the first time. That was familiar to me, so it felt better. Now to be honest, I was a little confused at the beginning of the movie, because I spaced out during movie 3 and forgot what the fuck happened.
Well blah, blah, we move straight to the wedding when Bella's mother brought her the some old and blue hair piece, that part was true enough. They put in in her hair, and that was the end of that! They have the wedding, and when Edward takes Bella to see Jacob, the damn thing wasn't even in her hair anymore! "Now that was a little sloppy of them." I thought shifting my arm on my pillow. I pushed it aside and kept on, trying to keep morale up.
I noticed that during the entire movie, all the werewolves had shirts on. All of them, this was just confusing. Where the last two movies really just eye candy for angsty teenage girls? I mean, did the company really allow fanbase to change the story? Now, when writing a manga, you never listen to your fans, or they can change it into something completely different.
Kristin attempted to look less like a zombie, I could tell. That's the butt of all her jokes, how dead she looks, but you could tell she was trying too hard. She was trying to make up for her uselessness and was failing poorly.
Now the part that got me was the sex scene. In the book, there wasn't even one. They just made out and the story continued to her waking up covered in feathers. They took sex and used it once again to draw in an audience. Go Hollywood!
There were some good parts in this movie, like the amount of CGI used to emphasize wolves teeth, and a horrid little baby. The fake girl they used for her more grown up looked VERY unreal, and I'm wondering how they're gonna find someone to look like her. I have never seen anyone like her. She was much too unique, and we all know that humas as a race have the same face.
Another good part I liked was how when Bella was dying (again) from the baby, she looked like she acted.
Robert Patterson had improved a lot. His side acting made his role a little more believable. I no longer see Cedrick Diggory, I see some british dude.
Now several times in the movie there were little details. Now I draw a lot and I pay attention to detail, and this must have been a mistake, but Bella's ring kept changing! That's what really got to me, it was a sloppy movie. Sloppy actors, sloppy director, and a sloppy screenplay!
That is all!
(I mean no disrespect to Twilight fans; I was just making an observation. I really loved the books; the movies are just very frustrating for me!)
