The first half The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn hits theaters this weekend. Many in Hollywood are predicting the film could earn as much as $140 million this weekend.
But is it worth braving the crowd of screaming 13-year-old girls to see?
We’ll let the Hollywood Reporter’s review help you decide:
Big things happen in this penultimate Twilight entry: Bella and Edward get married, she gets pregnant on their Brazilian honeymoon and almost perishes before giving birth, and finally, after four films and about 490 minutes of screen time depicting simmering desire and superhuman restraint, she wakes up with the red eyes of a vampire. (Spoiler? Hardly.) But so little else occurs between these momentous events in Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 that you can practically hear every second ticking by while awaiting the payoff. Not that this will matter to the faithful who have devoured all 754 pages of Stephenie Meyer‘s series-climaxing tome and want to see as many as possible re-created on the screen, nor to those who have paid more than $1.8 billion worldwide to see the previous three installments in theaters, nearly all of whom will rush to see this one as soon as possible. Part 2 won’t follow until Nov. 16, 2012.
“But is it worth braving the crowd of screaming 13-year-old girls to see?”
In my opinion, no movie bearing the “Twilight” banner is worth going to see, 13-year-old girls or not. But, to each their own.
What Michael Falkner said.
I still don’t get it. How can a Vampire breed? They’re dead. all the other “stuff” would be too. I’ve always said this whole series is really just a story about a girls struggle between Necrophilia and Bestiality. I think somebody needs to be looking at the dog boy.
