The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1: Film Review



The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1 today released throughout India.  It is already in the theaters of USA last week (Nov 18).

Breaking Dawn is only going to be a film that Twilight fans enjoy. If you haven't read and fallen in love with the books, there is nothing here for you. You won't get it, and you won't be able to take it seriously. If you love the books however, this movie is exactly what you've been waiting for.

Breaking Dawn has been split into two movies much like the last Harry Potter films. But what frustrates you is that you begin the film knowing that there is no climax.

In Breaking Dawn: Part 1, we start a day before the wedding and go until right after Renesmee(Daughter of Bella and Edward) is born and Bella is turned.

As the reception ends - the honeymoon begins. We remain swept up in the perfect world that every girl wishes she was a part of - only when Bella realizes that there's something not quite right, the film's tone changes entirely.


The honeymoon is over and Bella is pregnant, and her baby isn't completely human. Bella and Edward rush back to Forks, Washington to address the issue with the other Cullens.

It doesn't take long to see that this child is sucking the life out of her (And the digital effects they use in these scenes to make Bella look sickly skinny are truly disturbing). She looks as if she is on the verge of becoming a zombie. 


As the fetus grows rapidly, it threatens Bella`s life. But she is unwilling to abort the baby despite the advice of everyone around. Afraid of the half-human, half-vampire baby growing inside Bella, the wolves plan to kill her even as the Cullen family and Jacob (Taylor Lautner), fight to save her.

Breaking Dawn: Part 1 disappoints when compared to the previous Twilight films. The Breaking Dawn is good only for the die-hard fans of the Twilight series, or teenage girls with fairy tale romance lighting up their eyes. Others beware of a headache.
