I Broke the Dawn
I've just come back from seeing Breaking Dawn and I have mixed emotions about this.
Maybe I should just get out of the way that abouuut this time two years ago I was at my worst. And by "my worst" I mean I was a full-time, hardcore twihard. Yep. I was insane and completely obsessed with all things Twilight. I had Bella's ring (something my mother searched & found for me: an exact replica and not an inexpensive one at that...I lost it. :( ) I had the cardboard cutout of Edward Cullen that creepily loomed behind my bed, I had action figures, posters, cards, the jacket Kristen Stewart wears in the first movie, EVERYTHING. Embarrassing? Yes, absolutely,but I've heard the first step in recovery is admittance and acceptance. I was completely consumed and would lose my shit at the premiers- every ounce of my shit. Now, here's the thing: I'm no longer this way. I have changed, matured if you will, over the years. Do I like Twilight? Yes, I do. I like the romance, the drama, the reality mixed with mythical proportions. Do I go bananas crazy over it? No. Does my room look like a manic teenager on coke decorated it with her favorite vampire couple vomited all over the wall in mass media produced paraphernalia? No.
Anyways, now that you have the back story:
The movie was not my favorite ( as far as "favorite movie" and "Twilight" can go hand-in-hand) There were too many cheesy moments in this one, too many over-scripted, forced lines with little reality behind them. Props to Kristen Stewart though. This girl has been voted most improved by yours truly. She was pretty great and I've always loved her, but I think this was her best yet in the series. Of course, I love me some Robert Pattinson, but the direction this movie took and the corny lines and situations threw me off and sent my sister and I into laughing fits. Meanwhile, the women behind us were sobbing five minutes into the movie and saying "oh wow, OH WOW!" during the unimpressive and...uninspiring sex scene.
It was good in some ways and not so good in others. I like the score (as usual) it was by Carter Burwell who composed for the first movie. It was fitting and kept things moving despite some sticky character interactions. The chemistry between Robert and Kristen was super great, they are probably and more than likely a real item, but who cares. It was cool, I like me some Twilight and I'm glad my freaky freak days are over - at least the ones involving Twilight. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
