Is ‘Breaking Dawn - I′ an enjoyable experience for Twi-hards and non-fans, alike? Or does this first half of the ‘Twilight Saga’ finale offer too little to be a standalone film?
Unfortunately, judging by the events unfolding in Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the answer is no. At least half of the film is dominated by one melodramatic scene after another – in place of either interesting character interactions or exciting action... Simply put, underwhelming. I was expecting it to be alot more GRAND!!! But, it couldn't justify the book!
Breaking Dawn: Part 1 isn't quite as accessible to casual moviegoers, as it does depend on the viewer having followed the plot thus far. But in Bill Condon, it also has a director who puts a very distinct spin on things, walking the fine line of playing the romance absolutely straight while taking the supernatural stuff as seriously as it deserves (which is to say, not at all). Condon, however, goes crazy.
It all goes wrong just when it should go right.
