While I don't feel it's necessary to condemn someone for whichever religion or religious beliefs they adhere to, I find a story about vampires and werewolves written by a Mormon/Christian, vegetarian, pro-lifer to be absolutely ridiculous. Most people do, I'm pretty much just stating the obvious.
Religion and politics have no place in a friendly conversation, I know this, which is why I tend to keep the fact that I'm an atheist to myself because I would hope others would keep their righteousness from being shoved down my throat but it is a very hard thing to avoid. Let's be realistic here, history has a way of shining some light on the situation for non-believers.
Breaking Dawn, the entire Twilight…

This one is really bad. REALLY bad. I mean "Why am I even watching this?" bad.
If I'm going to put one kind of positive on this film, it's that it's so strange it almost makes it interesting. Because Breaking Dawn-Part 1 is so fucking weird I spent half the film looking confused. There are literally parts of this film that make absolutely no sense, and you kind of just have to admire it.
Which is a shame because in a dull fucking franchise this film is so completely pointless it makes the other films in the "saga" look like they're Star Wars movies. Breaking Dawn-Part 1 may be the shortest of all the…

I've seen the others...and I'm that kind of film-ophile that can't NOT complete a series, no matter how bad. However, I got the feeling from previous reviews it wasn't worth spending $$ at the cinema to fulfill this need, so I watched it on a cheeky download instead.
I must say...I thought I was in for the worst - but this wasn't nearly as cringey as I thought it was going to be (New Moon is still the slit-your-wrists-chapter of the lot). It follows pretty faithful to the book, so if you know what you're in for from that, then you should survive this round just fine. Best part? Kristen Stewart's hideous Auschwitz VFX makeover. CREEPY. -
Holy Jeez. Nothing happens in the first hour of this. There's a wedding where not much happens, Bella prepares for sex by washing her hands and shaving her legs and ... well that's it.
I thought that the vampires lived in Oregon because it's not sunny there so they can hang out during the day without sparkling, but here? Bella and Edward spend a lot of their time on the beach in Brazil and no one sparkles or even bursts into flames. How, exactly are vampires "damned" in this mythology if there's no downside to being one? Edward also shows up in a mirror here, too. How, exactly, are these characters "vampires?" They drink the blood of deer is the…

A bit long and boring, but I think they did a good job of decreepifying the whole imprinting thing at the end. Team Jacob!

She wanted to name the baby EJ for Edward-Jacob. Holy shit.

So let me see if I got this right; they decided to make the last book into two movies because they needed TWO FRIGGIN' HOURS JUST TO SHOW US A WEDDING, THE MARRIED COUPLE GOING ON A HONEY MOON AND HAVING "SEX", AND BELLA GETTING PREGNANT AND HAVING A BABY?!?!?
Oh, come on!!

What a epic salvation of family love & protection that was movie if the last story no longer focus on love and rivalry then this really lighten the dark romantic cultures.

The third movie must have inspired the producers to look at what other horror roots they could exploit and one of them must have said "Let's go with Cronenberg!" because this movie is weird as hell.
While the story is incredibly boring and without any real arc or suspense, the ideas they put on the table are just baffling. Where is this coming from? The other movies were fairly simple: A love triangle and a revenge plot. The only weird parts were the psychic powers some of the vampires had. But this movie? What the hell?
Seems Stephenie Meyer watched "Mallrats" (1995) and thought "Only Wonder Woman can bear Superman's child? That's a great idea, let me take a note…
