Movie Review: Breaking Dawn Part 1

Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was great overall but it had a couple of really bad, cheesy parts. There is a scene with the werewolf pack that was supposed to be serious and intense but the audience was cracking up at the absurdity of it. Not good.

I didn’t have a chance to re-read all of Breaking Dawn before I saw the movie so I can’t make specific comparisons between the book and the movie; however, I did notice that a few things were added that weren’t in the book. I didn’t think it detracted from my enjoyment of the movie though.

I wish the honeymoon scenes would have been more explicit but I guess they have to keep their PG-13 rating so screaming pre-teen and teenage girls can see it.

Make sure you stay for the credits. You will miss something important if you don’t.

All in all I was very pleased with how the movie turned out. I can’t believe we have to wait a whole year for Part II to be released!
