Back to the main reason for this post~
I am not a humongous Twilight fan. But I have read and own the books. I love the series and wish it would never have ended.
But the movies were ruined by the chosen main actors.
I have disliked the other movies in this series because of the horrible acting from Kristen and Robert. I just can't get over the awkward acting, eye-blinking, weird twitching/mannerisms that Kristen had throughout the movies. And Robert's awkwardness and constant constipated expression.
BUT in Breaking Dawn, it wasn't that much of an issue. The awkward acting was actually a tiny bit better. So you could actually sit throughout the movie without having to cringe as much and constantly wonder how they were chosen for this movie.
Truthfully, (not bashing) I pictured Bella to be much more beautifuler, innocent, and sweeter. And Edward to be better looking.....
*SPOILER FOR THE MOVIE*
They did follow the story line, but unfortunately since they have to cram all the storyline into such a small amount of time, everything felt rushed. Little details that added into the story were taken out.
One example is the part where they are on their honeymoon and the part where Bella is constantly eating eggs because of her unknown pregnancy.
They added in a little horror scene, where Bella has a nightmare, where she is at her wedding and when she gets to the altar and looks out the crowd of people are gone. She looks at Edward to find blood on him and then herself to find blood on her hands. And then down to the huge pile of dead family and friends. I thought was a little unnecessary, but I realize it was to show that Bella was a little afraid of herself when she becomes a vampire.
We got to see a little bit of Jacob's side of the story in the movie. But not much I feel.
The best part I thought was the scene where Jacob imprints on Renesmee. In his mind, he gets flashes of scenes of the future. Of himself with Renesmee in the future. I liked this scene the most because we got to see Renesmee grown up, and together with Jacob. The actress who plays Renesmee is so beautiful. :)
Overall, I was not disappointed with the movie compared to the other ones. I thought the wedding scenes were wonderful~ I know in the novel this is the honeymoon book filled with tons of kissing and the such. But there was so much kissing/making out and nakedness, I don't know why but I felt so awkward watching it... Maybe it's just me... Anyways, I enjoyed it. (:
I can't wait until Part 2 comes out. We get to see Bella discover her Shield powers, a better look at Renesmee, and the Volturi.
