LOVEFiLM Review The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1

  • 3.5 stars out of 5  

    By Tegan Kniveton from LOVEFiLM

    Heaps of humour and drama raise the stakes in the penultimate film from The Twilight Saga.

Most helpful review The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn - Part 1

  • For the fans

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer , 21 Nov 2011

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Warning: I love Twilight, have seen all the films, and nearly know the books by heart.

    Breaking Dawn has the most bonkers plot. When you try and tell people they look at you in disbelief and you have to reassure them that 'No, really, I'm not joking, seriously, that's what happens.'

    This book has therefore always seemed pretty much unfilmable so i've been looking forward to this movie with a lot of anticipation...

    and it kinda works.

    I don't think this guy is the greatest director, its a bit gushing at times, and some of the werewolf stuff doesn't really work, BUT the most nutty parts of the book were really well handled.

    I doubt if this film makes any sense if you're not already into your twilight but if you don't like twilight why go see it anyway?

  • Breaking Dawn Part 1-lacks action

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer , 18 Jun 2013
    This part of movie really lack much of the content of Breaking Dawn novel. If your looking for action and real drama...go watch part 2. This film caters for the Bella and Edward fans. But for a twilight fan like myself its a must see.

    the worst one of the series so far - slow, boring teen-guff..!!! Don't know if I can be bothered watching the last episode (but I probably will...).

    As good as the others in the series. An entertaining film without being too taxing on the brain. Special effects with the doggies really good. Looking forward to part 11.

  • Life-changing.....for some!

    I really enjoyed this - goes at a different pace to the other films and for good reason as some pretty life-changing events go on. More about the characters themselves than pure action. Good stuff.

  • Bit of a Rip-Off

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer , 18 May 2013
    This movie effectively rips off fans of the “Twilight Saga” as the intention is obviously to sell two DVD's instead of one. If “Part One” hadn't been dragged out unnecessarily or continually shifted into exceptionally long “slow motion” sequences, it could easily have been shown in well under an hour, instead of an everlasting 1 hour 50 minutes. Throughout the entire movie, I was wishing they would simply “get on with it”, especially when they spent long embarrassing minutes zoomed in on a character’s face whilst they changed their expression to suit the storyline, but in very, very, slow motion. The special effects and action scenes were excellent, but were mainly towards the end and accounted for a relatively small part of the movie. If “ Part Two” is stretched out like this one, it will be an annoyingly boring conclusion to what should have been a very good series of films.
