Waste of the world's time.

Twilight represents the worst series of sequels since Harry Potter and had a lot more to lose: an audience of sentient readers eager to see their romantic fantasies realized on the big screen.

If it wasn't for my wife, I would have no reason to sit down and watch this franchise. Really, nothing worth applauding, these all seem to blend together with similar acting, themes, and overly dramatic facial expressions. I can dig the music, though.

Honestly, Twilight gets more hate than it really deserves, it should be given credit for bringing vampires and werewolves into the mainstream, its only real downfall is its plot and characters. This time around we are treated to a special edition of narrative breakdown wherein the story is mercilessly butchered for the purposes of stretching an already lacklustre fourth novel into two blockbuster films.

The most nakedly conservative of the lame Twilight movies thus far, Breaking Dawn - Part 1 contends with the life vs. choice debate, taking as stupid a stance as one would expect from a particularly preposterous American movie series and its brain-dead leading character.

I had the tiniest glimmer of hope for this because I thought New Moon was better than Twilight and Eclipse was better than both of them. But no. It was just plain awful. Most of the film was spent showing close-ups of the characters looking ‘emotional’. Splitting the last book up into two films was completely unnecessary. The basically misogynistic messages throughout all these films is despicable. The pro-life agenda that this one had was especially tragic. It has no redeeming features. [Full Review]

Can't tell if this movie is serious or the greatest troll of all time. Has possibly the worst bestiality scenes ever filmed and Kristen Stewart's teeth have grown exponentially, still wouldn't mind it. The gay kid that plays the werewolf could be the worst actor since the guy who plays the vampire in this movie. If Stephanie Meyer wasn't a billionaire from these crappy books I would legitimately feel sorry for her because clearly she has a brain tumor, so goddamn stupid.

omg, worst one yet

This is the best of the Twilight films, mostly due to improvements in the cinematography (especially the wedding and the honeymoon). But the acting is still pretty dreadful, although Lautner's ability to express believable anger has improved, as has Pattinson's ability to convey his character's emotional suffering. Stewart is now the weakest link of the three, her delivery so bland (excepting the pro-life stuff) its difficult to care at all for her even as she spends most of the movie dying.

Wow, never have I been so disturbed and amused by a skeleton being given a c-section by an anne-rice-vampire-wannabe in my life...Stephanie Meyer's wet dream just gets more fucked up as we go along!

Through the honeymoon, the best of any of them; after that it's rough. Eclipse is by far the best, and this is one of the most disappointing adaptations of a series of novels into films ever. Oddly charming in spite of, and at times because of its excesses. Great cinematography and good direction (some of the best and most interesting in the series). Bad makeup, contacts, and writing. Also needed more shirtless wolf guys and some evil Dakota to compete with Eclipse. Music was most lacking yet.

Another lackluster entry in the series that will leave fans pleased but everyone else underwhelmed.

It's Twilight's finest -- because it's Twilight's shortest one. Despite its puritan anti-abortion messages all the way, Condon manages to cut his way through the story to the things that really matter -- blood, fights and Bella finally getting what she wants. The best editing of the entire saga is here, too -- those marriage vignettes aren't all that bad.

"Bella shifts from her intended stance of antiheroine to something close to antimatter in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1." - R. Kurt Osenlund

good comedy

I have given this 20 points out of 100 because the little time I spent watching the film gave me such a laugh! An utter joke of a film; garbage, mahogany dialogue, pish music and some actors, apparently, though they must have been in the second half, as I walked out half way through. Bum Suction of the Highest Density.

It was so bad that it seemed like one of those movies that was purposely terrible... I had quite a laugh. Nearly felt bad for being a bit of a disturbance in the theater!

It's up there among the worst in the series, constantly lingering on tiny and utterly indifferent details, ridiculous acting and a strikingly boring finale. Bah.

Probably the best made Twilight of them all, but still not that great.

I swear it gets worse by each movie. I found myself cracking up at the most inappropriate episodes, like that weird wolf pack relationship drama in the beach - laughed my ass off :D What is more, what is more... Kirsten's acting is equal to a brick(nothing new), hilarious moments involving those horribly made wolfs and of course, mr. awkward of the year - Pattinson. Everything is just so exagarated and lame...

Beautiful troll, through bizarre sincerity for the most absurdly stupid things. Fears of sex, abortion, pregnancy and racism, all masqueraded through an endless wedding and honeymoon that take up half the film. No depth of course, but the concerns of inexperienced naivete shine through. Then the second half is increasingly heightened fear mongering of the above, argument through endless repetition. Quite an ending to top it. Very well directed, shame the writing and acting are awful.
