Well, for some inexplicable reason I went to see “Breaking Dawn”. (I blame it on Taylor Lautner.) And it was pretty much as expected, Bella obsesses, Edward guilts, and Jacob rages. I hoped for something more engrossing. But I was doomed to disappointment.
The movie cut straight to the chase, as it were. Starting right off with Bella and Edwards wedding, then to the honeymoon, and pregnancy. All of this felt very padded for time. The entire story could have been covered in a thirty-minute review. But in true Harry Potter franchise fashion the producers wanted to milk the story for a two-movie deal.
The majority of the movie is spent watching Bella turn in to a human skeleton as her apparently unnatural offspring sucks her life away from the inside. Even the book’s big moment the “imprinting” is kind of a throw away.
Also, the CGI is bad, a movie this big should be ashamed of itself for skimping on the effects budget. And the story is nothing, if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn’t waste my time.
