Worthy of mention is Carolina Herrera's design for Bella's wedding dress, sophisticated and demure in the front and Pippa Middleton sexy, and proper, in the back.

Part 1 does something that no other previous Twilight movie had achieved: This one draws you close and keeps you there.

The movie is long and uniquely bad, the last of Stephenie Meyer's four books greedily tortured into two installments.

The film doesn't have nearly the bite - ferocious or delicious - that any self-respecting vampire movie really should. It's as if all the life has drained away.

At long last, The Twilight Saga sinks utterly into camp with Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Chicago, Gods and Monsters) takes over the directing reins for these final two parts; his most noteworthy contribution to the series so far is a terrifyingly staged birth scene that should turn the teen fan base off of sex altogether … which is precisely what this whole dumb, punishing series has been gunning for from the start.

Having Viewed This Movie Multiple Times, I Must Say That The Story Line, The Music, And The Masterful Details To Production - Direction, Bill Condon Was A Mastermind In This. I Dont Think This Movie Has Received The Overall Credit It Deserves. I Have No Trouble Saying, It May Be The Best Movie I've Seen - And I Have Seen A Lot Of Them... The Movie Seems To Have A Very Profound - Subtle Emotional Message And Content That Is Not Easy To Explain, But You Feel It... A Very Special Movei

Im Großen und Ganzen hat mir der Film gefallen, aber um ehrlich zu sein, würde ich sagen, dass dieser Teil der schwächste von den anderen ist. Ich gebe ihm 6,5 von 10 Punkten.

Assistir no cinema deixa a gente bem enviesado né? Não achei tão péssimo igual normalmente acho. Esse é o filme mais parado e sem tantos memes da Saga. Da muita agonia a Bella grávida magrela e todo aquele drama em cima.

Honeymoon the movie. I dont´t understand how this has a higher rate than the second movie.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is a terrible movie! You'd be better off watching porn instead of this, because both of them are basically the same thing!
