So, Breaking Dawn Part 1: Er…

Well, it has taken me a while to write about the 4th film instalment of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga.

Before I go into why that might be, I’ll start by telling you what I’ve heard other people say, both good and bad.

The good stuff:
‘So romantic!’

‘I love what they do with the Summit logo at the beginning!’

‘Gorgeous wedding, that dress! I’m not so sure about the ring’

‘The best part is by far the ‘back breaking’ scene!’

The not so good stuff:
‘What a pile of excrement!’

‘Did, I really just spend 11.25 on that? Why, why did you make me spend 11.25 on that?

‘Surely there’s no way that it’s ever a good thing in films when people laugh at something that wasn’t supposed to be funny.

‘Did anyone else notice the continuity error when Bella and Edward are at the alter and the camera pans around them? One second all the seats are occupied and the next they are vacant, then they’re occupied again, all within a few seconds. Just not good enough really.’

So…
With all that said, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that most of the people with the worst things to say about Breaking Dawn Part 1 are not exactly the key demographic/ target audience; mainly teenage girls who have read the books and love the characters.

As for why it took me so long to write this? Well, it rather took me a while to watch it. Perhaps because I knew the the focus wasn’t going to be on the character I like the most. Let’s just say that ‘Breaking Dawn, Part ’1 is not my favourite of the Twilight films. That of course would be ‘New Moon’

I do agree that what Summit do with the logo is pleasant. The ‘back breaking’ scene was well done and it’s true, I’ve heard people laugh when laughter was far from the desired effect. But overall, I’ll confess that in regards to Breaking Dawn Part 2, my fingers are crossed that everyone will be very pleasantly surprised.
