If only Bella Swan had heeded Coach Carrs sage advice, we could have been saved all this melodrama.
Breaking Dawn Part 1is the payoff of theTwilightsaga, the instalment in which all the crazy stuff happens.
So: how does Oscar-winning director Bill Condon deal withBreaking Dawns more difficult moments?
Well, basically, he glosses over them.
(And since the film is 117 minutes long, thats a lot of scenery and grimacing.)
And then its time for the Twilight franchise to finally stop delaying the inevitable.
Finally, Bella and Edward get it on.
Their wedding night is impossibly fraught.
is never a good question to have to ask after sex but the audience gets short-changed.
It wouldve been unreasonable to expect more, really, but somehow things still fall a little flat.
The CGI wolves are uncanny in the bad way.
Its almost a relief when the fight scenes are so awkwardly choreographed that you cant even really see them.
It doesnt feel like theres much more to say.
The film is kind of a slog, though.
Everythings kind of mildly imperilled.
After that, its just a long wait till its over.
