A Global Phenomenon: That's what one would associate The Twilight Saga with nowadays and the box office figures are proof of that. The latest installment in the series is said to have been the third highest opening for a movie ever, making it fall short only of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. This in spite of the lukewarm response it has got from critics the world over. What this series has offered to teenage girls the world over is known to us, and us guys unfortunately have 'Edward' and 'Jacob's standards to live up to..but then again, at least we are human!..Now coming to the actual stuff...What exactly did I think of the movie...Well read on to find out..
The movie starts of with invites going out to all the family and friends of Edward and Bella for their wedding. The only reaction worth watching though is of Jacob's as he gets livid and has the only shirtless scene of the movie. Yes girls, that is it..So be prepared. The wedding is expectantly beautiful and has a surprise entry from Jacob as well in what I feel was the best scene of the film. Post this of course they have the honeymoon off the coast of Rio on a beautiful island, and this in spite of Bella still being human and well aware of the consequences. The first night is funny and passionate, but the next morning Edward realizes that this is not fun and games and refrains from doing anything else except play Chess for the rest of the trip. This gets too much for Bella and few days later they do it again. Then...something unexpected happens, Bella gets pregnant and Edward is more stunned than any guy who realizes that he is going to be a dad. All of this happens in the first half and the nature of it is quite slow paced. This I have no complaints about though because if you have read the books, you would know the love that Bella and Edward had for each other and the unison of the two demands a scale of importance. The second half is quite the real deal though and has all the elements to make you await the last installment. The way Edward tries changing Bella into a vampire though is not the way I would have pictured it, but nevertheless the last shot of the film makes you forget all else.
Coming to the actors, it seems that everyone got their make up right for the film. Edward doesn't look that white and even Bella looks kinda attractive. Taylor Lautner's performance though definitely stood out for me.
It's definitely a movie for the fans of the franchise and also if you have been following it but I would strictly not recommend the same who haven't seen any of the parts. I just wish the next movie would release sooner but sadly we'll have to wait a whole year for that one. I'm going with 3.5 out of 5 for Breaking Dawn: Part 1...
Keep Reeling!!
