Laughable

I wrote a blog post this summer about the Twilight books and promised a review on the fourth book. Today is your lucky day because not only am I going to tell you what I thought about Breaking Dawn, but the Twilight movie, as well. Ha, ha, I'm sure most of you don't care, but I feel like I have to say something!

Breaking Dawn was OK. Her writing was better than the first book, however it was still mediocre. While I was reading it I thought it was sooo Mormon for her to get married at 19 and then get pregnant on her honeymoon! Ha ha, awesome. It was also pretty ridiculous her getting pregnant and having a half human half vampire baby. The best part is Jacob "imprinting" on her baby. Give me a break! Too funny. I was sad at the end when their vampire war never actually turned into a full on fight. That would have been pretty sweet. Think about it, all those "super powers" fighting each other. If a man wrote the book you would be guaranteed a sweet fight in the end. Where of course good would triumph over evil! Overall, the book was entertaining.

I watch a lot of movies. I have only walked out of one because it was so bad. Not bad as in I was offended because of my moral standards (although I probably should walk out of those), but because it was made so poorly. I won't even walk out of a movie if I think it's cheesy, I don't like the story line, it's too scary, or because I am simply not entertained. I will only walk out of a movie if it is just plain terrible. I wanted to walk out of Twilight. BUT I did not. I endured the entire thing out of pure curiosity.

The acting was awful. The cinematography was bad. The special affects were worse than bad. The writing was cheesy, even more cheesy than the books. The directing was bad. I just felt awkward watching the whole movie. And more than a few times I couldn't help but laugh, rather loudly, in the theater...during serious scenes. I wasn't the only one doing that either. I heard a lot of laughing in the theater when the scene was not meant to be funny. The only time a really felt any emotion was when she was fleeing and she told her Dad she didn't want to be stuck in Forks anymore and her Dad seemed so sad.

I could go OFF about all the things that were so wrong about the movie, but you don't want to hear it. Tyler and I talked about it pretty much all night, listing all the horrible things we could remember.



I honestly went into this movie with optimism. I heard bad things and good. I was severely disappointed. I know that the budget was small so they couldn't afford good, well anything. If they make the next book into a movie I sure hope they get a much bigger budget. The worst part about the whole thing is, Twilight could have been a really great movie. Sad day.
