The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

I think this installment will be an unexpected surprise for even the biggest critics. Of course, I'm completely ignoring those who preemptively give out boos here without having seen the film. I do appreciate the incredibly engaging plot, the perfect visual aspect, the decent amount of drama, and the hilarious humor. At times, I felt like the filmmakers were even making fun of themselves. They really know how to entertain people. The actors seem more experienced and don't overact unnecessarily. Served up perfectly, no frills, colorful from start to finish. I rate it as the best installment so far. Only the "werewolf speak" could have been more polished. A well-deserved 5 stars. (19/11/2011)

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. (11/10/2022)

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.

Probably the most straightforward and clearest part in terms of plot, without unnecessary twists and turns, and everything clearly leading to the finale, or rather, a subtle preparation for the last part. Whether the penultimate Twilight is a good or bad film is up to each of us to decide. The entire saga is a phenomenon of this era. Technically, it is certainly at questionable and narratively it is very simple, but full of currently very cool things and people, so it’s difficult not to succumb to such an intoxicating mix, especially in the USA. I definitely wouldn't watch it again. Although it may not seem like it, it is relatively shallow and flat, just like all the other parts. (07/12/2013)

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. (24/02/2012)
