Guillermo Navarro’s cinematography is probably the worst in the entire franchise, and Carter Burwell’s original score barely makes a notable sound. It even misses the technical competence that the first three films had. It’s ridiculously slow for a 2-hour film, has a laughable premise, extremely corny dialogue, and a direction that seems to not help it at all.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 checks almost all the negative boxes. Things get worse for Bella, as well as between Jacob’s pack and the Cullens, and somehow, it all goes in favor of the protagonists. Jacob, of course, opposes it, and not due to being a generally sensible individual, but his undying love for Bella, which makes him blind enough to believe she did nothing wrong. They conspire that the baby will not be able to control itself against human blood, with the solution being the death of Bella before the baby’s birth. Jacob seems to be the only relatively sensible character in this movie, despite his packmates being a bunch of reactionaries. And on top of it all, this plays out with some of the corniest dialogue ever written in the last decade. From ignoring Jacob’s warning to being on good terms with all the predicaments she’s in, with the predicaments’ product potentially being harmful to even others. Talk about romanticizing Stockholm syndrome. Why would an audience root for uninteresting protagonists who are the cause of their own problems? Justifying Jacob’s concerns, an explosive, bed-shattering sexual intercourse happens between the vampire Edward and the human Bella, and Bella becomes pregnant with a half-vampire baby.Įdward wakes up to see her bruised and in terrible condition and vows to never have sex with her again until she finally becomes a vampire, and upon knowledge of the pregnancy, it gets even worse for him because he knows a human can’t survive giving birth to a vampire baby.īella enjoyed it all and is committed to maintaining her pregnancy. The film entirely relies upon incidents, with no sign of intelligent life anywhere throughout the story.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is a 2011 American romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon and written by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.
