Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is a wildly drawn-out case of milking the franchise and its fans for all they’re worth. In the context of a Twilight marathon with 150 female viewers who love it ironically, it is a wonderful experience (more about that in the review of the first Twilight film). Bonus points for unexpectedly powerful horror throughout the pregnancy storyline.

It flows by surprisingly well. I even had fun in some places (changes of “expression" on Pattinson’s face are something indescribable). I’m surprised that they managed to get the final bloodbath inferno made it into this kids’ movie, but because of Chuck Norris we miss out on all of the fun in The Expendables 2. An unfair world.

There is no bias involved. People (and non-people) have the right to fall in love, do mating calls, and act like idiots. But why on earth make four films about it? Film No. 4.5 doesn't build on the insight and punch of Slade’s third film, and unfortunately, it's not even as hilariously goofy as the second. It’s closest to the first film in the series, an immature love tragedy that is appreciated particularly by emotionally immature adolescent girls, who can see themselves in the main character. Moreover, in such a plot-empty film I will ask myself several questions that will probably only be answered by an audience familiar with books. I don't like the saga for its "life attitude," I like it for the naive filmmaking stupidity. However, this is regularly the worst film in the series.

Oh, that was so ludicrous. Like the movie poster, I guess. (There may be some spoilers here, but it doesn’t matter) Wedding -> honeymoon -> 1st sex -> Eddie doesn't want to anymore -> Bella horny as hell -> begging him to do it to her -> Bimbo knocked up -> everyone wants to kill the kid -> but he gets born and the werewolf falls in love with him. Good thing I know what's coming in the next instalment, I'm the type that read it, too. Oh, isn’t it romantic.

I like werewolves and vampires, which is why I'm still watching the Twilight saga, for the record. Bella sighs again in the traditional way, for this time she's already sure of her choice of future partner, so this one is a more bearable episode compared to two and three. Everything around it is so similar to the previous parts, and I personally was probably most impressed by the (rather rough) birth scene and the battle between werewolves and vampires. Otherwise I don't see anything else in it, perhaps only the nice soundtrack. In short, I got exactly what I expected, so despite my rating I wasn't totally disappointed with the result.
