The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

[Ipodman]

Breaking dawn trailer doesnt look so bad...

 

[Lord]

It's directed by a director with oscar status but seeing jacob with his shirt off so many times makes me wonder, maybe this is the dark side and retaliation for all pretty girls we get in action movies and Megan Fox's in awkward positions.

LOL, if you only knew what the last book is about.

 

[Lord]

Yes i know how bad the movie is too but the trailer looks good, even if the books i about edward opening Bela's belly with his teeth to save the baby and their daughter marrying jacob, such dumb ideas that this will become the first movie based on a fan fic

Kind of confused what you're saying. You think the trailer looks good but you know that the story is pretty awful, even in regards to the previous material?

Did you just say Meyer got this idea from a fan fic? It's sounds about as bad as one.

Fan fiction has to be better than what she came up with for Breaking Dawn.

Yeah, I mean receiving wedding invitations and throwing one down in the rain always gets my blood pumping.

Its still better than the final movie, you'll see

Sorry, considered i just got out of a thread where they were making fun of a movie i like

 

[Project862006]

i must admit Kristen Stewart looks really good in these Breaking Dawn Picturest:

 

[PWN3R]

Damn.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

And see? She CAN smile. Now shaddap about how "oh she never smiles she always has the same expression"

 

[Liam_H]

^She never smiles when seen in person, only flipping people off.

 

[mclay18]

I like how Pattinson is actually smiling in these pics. I don't think his character ever smiled in the first two films... he mainly pouted or smirked. Smiling makes all the difference for some people.

Still, I don't know how a Oscar-nominated director like Bill Condon can elevate something like Breaking Dawn (he can probably give the more ludicrous events more flair or make the melodrama engaging). David Slade's directing made Eclipse enjoyable, but that was mainly due to the darker edge and the werewolf/vampire throwdown.

But the franchise has grown all right. Not a fan, but it's all right. It's silly escapism for its target audience.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Well to be fair the honeymoon and

Spoiler

after Bella becomes a vampire and the very very end

are almost the only times the character is genuinely, truly 100% happy in the series not including her accepting his proposal in Eclipse.

 

[Liam_H]

It would be very interesting to see how they handle to final confrontation in this last movie. People that thought the final potter movie was anti-climatic should see this one.

 

[danoyse]

You mean the final confrontation of[blackout] vampires with superpowers standing around in a field and talking it out?[/blackout] That should be riveting, I'm sure.

Well more specifically I mean someone coming in at the last second and going "everything is fine you guys don't have to fight, now lets all hug it out and go out for some ice cream". I labored through that last book and I was hoping to at least get some action with the two vampire armies going at it. But nope, it was all just a tease for nothing. There was even a part of the book that I thought foreshadowed a part of the battle but nope not at all.

I can just imagine the guys who get dragged along by their girlfriends being like WTF when they get no final battle.

And not only that...

Spoiler

Like there was any doubt that Alice and Jasper weren't going to make some 11th hour return? How was anyone surprised by this?

I didn't like the three previous books, but the fourth was the one I wanted to throw at a wall.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Well those who wanted there to be a battle will supposedly kind of get their wish. Rumor has it that

Spoiler

when Alice and Jasper show up with the half-vampire that ends up saving the say, The Volturi still want a fight. So Alice shows Aro a vision of what would happen were they to fight. EVERYONE dies. It's brutal. Aro's like "Oh....****. Maybe fighting isn't such a good idea. We'll just leave now...kthnxbai".

Was it that obvious in the story and I just missed it? Cause I was certainly hoping to get a lot more at the end.
