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.

Overwhelmingly sinister. An hour-long spread of a ten-minute wedding-and-honeymoon montage that turns into a pro-life horror film, sickeningly affecting for all the wrong reasons. Gross and far overlong, though Stewart's makeup and special effects team should be commended for their disturbingly awful work.

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.

Couldn't even laugh at this one, it felt like it went for 3 hours, completely unnecessarily. A wedding can be filmed in less than 45 minutes. The worst thing though is the blatant social conservative propaganda.

I genuinely don't get these movies. These stories are so focused on romance (which I find to be nonexistent) and dramatic repercussions of said romances that the use of vampires or werewolves is wholly unnecessary. It's like any of the late era Hellraisers or Die Hards; scripts clearly written without Pinhead or McClane but tacked on for an audience, but worse. Bruce Lee never entered a chess contest for a reason. Concessions were made in order to drag me to this thing...they were not enough.

What would you get if you'd cut out all the emo expressions of 'Bella' and 'Edward'? Not that much: shitty CGI wolves, lots of forrest shots, the statue of Christ the Redeemer, emo moustache dad and a CGI baby. Would cut the movie to 10 minutes or something

The hilarity of how fucking absurd this movie is only briefly overshadows the vile ethos behind it, making for a laugh out loud but often uncomfortable experience. Bella has been reduced to a pure form of antimatter that controls the gravity of all around her without even being conscious, and Meyer's politics have completely unraveled into a preposterous pro-life vs. pro-choice debate that ends with a grown man literally falling in love with a fetus, which, as a result, saves its life. LMAO

Shits go glamour. Every girl enjoys nice shoes, wedding dress and make-up. Every girl can almost vomit her groom during her wedding. Every girl can change her face expression from dying, to pregnant happiness and fear of loosing boyfriend, back to pregnant happiness, to ends with final dying. Good acting shouldn't be noticeable. Good scenario shouldn't evoke facepalm every five minutes. Good romance won't happen during twilight.

The good news is that this is the most coherent of the "Twilight" movies from a story/plot perspective--it's mainly about how gross and dangerous sex is. The bad news is that it's the most stultifying. The pacing is pretty glacial, and the lead performances--as always--are pretty awful. This is a wretched, wrongheaded franchise, but this fourth installment is more flat-out dull than aggravatingly amateurish--which is kind of a step up, I guess.

Not quite as good as Eclipse, but better then Twilight and New Moon. Less melodrama, more crazy. Of course you have the "unfilmable" scene, which I think they did an alright job with. The cinematography is quite a bit better then the other movies. The wedding and the honeymoon stuff specifically. The movie does get a bit weird, but I guess you have to blame the source material for that. the acting is an improvement from the other films. The ending really make me excited to see the next one.

Probably the most professionally made one yet, but good christ it's absurd. The post rock soundtrack, the ridiculously self-serious wedding, the room-wrecking pg-13 sex, Edward on thot patrol, the gaunt half-dead Bella, the wolf voices, the thinly veiled abortion debate, and much, much more.

On a filmmaking level, I'm not sure it's any worse than previous films in the saga, but there's a disturbing right-wing, puritanical vein running through this film that makes it for me the worst one yet: far beyond the abstinence parable of the first three, Breaking Dawn is all about punishing women for having sex (even within the bounds of wedlock!) and didactic anti-abortion cheerleading. Morally speaking, it's pretty gross.

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.

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.

Breaking Dawn Pt 1 should be commended for one thing: It's not the misogynistic garbage we've come to expect from Twilight, though it easily could've been. For once, I cared a little. For once, the characters were not entirely unlikable. For once, the series completely jumps the shark to the point where it didn't seem like it expected to be taken seriously any more; so at least I was able to take it at all. It's bad, but I think it's the best we'll get from Meyer's bafflingly poor fiction.

So, uhhhhh, this wasn't awful. Go figure? Maybe I'm just broken down by the series and the improved direction and lovely, bright island scenes have fooled me. Plus, those scenes between Bella and Edward are the first in four films to convey any real sense of romance between them... It's still hokey, but the dialogue is more campy than godawful... So I guess yeah, I'm just beaten down enough to finally find this stuff tolerable.

This is the worst film in the franchise so far, and if it's indicative of Part 2, then you're going to want to skip that one, too. This is a dreadfully boring, slow moving movie where nothing happens and what does happen makes little sense. There are no real characters here, the dialogue exists just to fill up time, and I felt defeated by the end of it. I wasted two hours of my life watching this film, and everything I learned could be gained by watching a two-minute trailer for the second part.

The amount of critical disdain heaped on this particular chapter seems overdone. Although there's plenty 2 grow tired of (esp. a 1st hour that exists ONLY 2 indulge the most romantic fantasies of its targeted teen audience), the 2nd half turns in2 an increasingly fevered twist on Rosemary's Baby w/ Rosemary wanting 2 keep the child. While it could b argued the 2nd half is just misguidedly bad, it could also be argued it's the misguided, but compulsively watchable, stuff cult classics r made of.

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.

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.

Kristen Stewart is really pretty good here, although like almost all actresses she believes pregnant women rub their baby bumps unceasingly. I would have liked more scenes developing her thoughts about married life. Although the possibility of an abortion is hinted at, we never learn her thinking on this question: Does a vampire baby have a soul? Does it have a right to life although, technically, it's half dead? If it doesn't, Charlie Swan has a gun and he knows how to use it.

They should have just made this into one movie. I felt like I was forced to watch someone's wedding video and honeymoon video for a whole hour of the film. They just spent way too much time on the lead up to the wedding, the wedding, the super-long honeymoon and then finally they were like "HEY, LET'S ADD SOME ACTION FINALLY"! Sadly the action was Bella getting pregnant with a demon child and now everyone wants to kill it. Except Jacob who should kill it but I guess loves it instead. Bad movie

You have to be kidding. I spent the first hour trying to figure out if there was any sort of plot, and the rest of the time accurately predicting all the horribly mundane scenes to follow. Before seeing this, I was convinced that it'd be impossible to make a un-watchable vampire/werewolf movie. Way to prove me wrong.

While this installment won't win any new converts, Condon approaches the material by doing what he can with what he has to work with. For as little amount of 'events' take place in this first half of a film, Condon continually leans the audience back into Bella's life-or-death scenario, despite a lot of the film's unintentionally laughable moments. Since I have been forced to accept the fact that author Meyer has little interest in exploring vampire mythology, you could see far worse than this.

I'm ashamed to admit that I actually liked the cinematography in this when it wasn't obvious CGI pasties. In this installment we see a boring vampire wedding. A cheesy honeymoon. An auschwitz inmate looking Kristen Stewart hobbling around with a distended belly for half the movie. A cgi vamp baby who bonds with a much older man. Also, this film poses the classic superman question of the ages. Wouldn't the strength of Edward's mighty vampire ejaculation rip Bella in half?
