In general, the events in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 are, simply put, underwhelming. As the wedding bells fall silent, the newlyweds unexpectedly threaten the tenuous alliance between Cullen's vampire family and Jacob's Werewolf clan - causing former friends, as well as reluctant allies, to choose sides. While the wedding is a grand and joyous affair, not everyone is happy cast-aside Werewolf/ex-love interest Jacob (Taylor Lautner) attempts to deal with not just Bella's choice to marry Cullen, but her decision to become a vampire as well. The basic plot follows the marriage of bloodsucker Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his bride-to-be Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) as they prepare for their nuptials.
Unlike the prior Twilight films, which offered self-contained and mostly engaging story lines (albeit still guilty pleasure melodrama), the first half of Breaking Dawn is a mishmash of moments that fail to build tension or further develop any of the fan-favorite characters.

Even die-hard fans of the books will likely find that at least two of the more pivotal moments from the printed page do not translate well to the big screen - and, as result, once again reveal glaringly poor production values and uninspired direction in a film series that, cumulatively, has earned Summit Films over $1 billion worldwide. Unfortunately, judging by the events unfolding in Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the answer is no.Īt least half of the film is dominated by one melodramatic scene after another - in place of either interesting character interactions or exciting action - essentially laying ground for the (presumably) more stimulating Part 2. However, can the same be said for fellow-young adult fantasy series Twilightand the debut of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1? As the longest entry in Stephenie Meyer's book series but is there enough material in the final chapter in the Twilight Saga to fill two feature length films? While audiences were initially skeptical of the idea when it was introduced with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the success of the final two Potter films (both commercially and critically) seemingly justified the extra trip to the theater. Two-part finales have become a go-to approach for studios to milk extra money out of fan-favorite young adult franchises - and arguably a way to give lengthier final book installments a bit more room to wrap everything up. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 succeeds in transferring the key events from its source material onto the screen, but fails at translating those events into a competent two-hour film.
