I was invited to a screening of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" last night. Mainly because of my blog and my dislike of the series. The 'group' wanted me to do a review of the movie, just to see if I would actually like it.
I said sure and decided to go for it. So here is my review of the teen vampire drama:
- The wedding toast was the best part of the 1st 30 minutes.
- Jacob also took off his shirt in the 1st 4 minutes.
- Bella is not the girl others girls should look up to. She does everything for Edward and not for herself.
- Jacob comes off as bi-polar in every scene.
- The film sent the message that marriage solves everything, even dating demons.
- I found it interesting that in their vampire history, there has never an incident of a vampire/human baby. What about Blade?
- The pact the werewolves have with the Cullens is silly.
- There should be more about 'imprinting' (werewolves finding their mates).
- Bella seemed to happy about dying throughout the series. Great role model, eh?
- The love making scene was kind of funny, they actually broke the bed. Vampire cock must be sublime.
- And speaking of vamp sex, it's also abusive. Apparently, vampires are like Klingons when it comes to sex.
- The soundtrack was cute, but it reminded me of Dawson's Creek.
- The baby idea feels like a mix of the movies 'Grace' and 'It's Alive'.
- Bill Condon did a great job on this film.
- While I'm not a fan, it was a good movie.
Is the baby Jacob's?
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I was taken almost against my will to see it this afternoon and I just got home! I was pleasantly surprised, the movie was cute enough. Every point you made was valid, especially about Bella NOT being a good role model.
ReplyDeleteI like Twilight. I really do. No, Bella's not a good role model, I agree; and I doubt Blade is in Meyer's vampire history... but I think the books and films have been perfectly competent, and every time Emmett Cullen is on screen I turn to mush. Nice film, liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteCannot stand these films. I could not bear to watch more than ten minutes combined before I said, 'Enough.'
ReplyDeleteI, too, don't want shiny, diamond-encrusted vampires who sulk.
