I knew I had to see this movie sometime especially after the lengthy review that Doug Walker gave it and how much he hated it. This is a guy who loved the other movies because of how bad they were. I specifically downloaded the Rifftrax file for this movie as a free sample and I was devastated to find out that the website has apparently changed and all my history was deleted so I had to buy the file for this movie. It was money well spent because I would have gone nuts if not for the file. This movie is amazingly boring and stupid in nearly every sense of the word.I actually looked up critical reviews and I think even people who were fans of the other movies hated this one. I guess I will give those other movies credit for being better. This movie features Edward and Bella getting married. Bella gets pregnant and most of this movie is just them talking about whether she should have an abortion. Okay they don't use the word "abortion" but it's what they're talking about. This is just a nasty unpleasant movie for me because everyone in this film is just so mean. Everybody is telling Bella to get rid of her fetus because it's killing her. This is just an uncomfortable movie with how they show Bella slowly get sicker because this vampire fetus is sucking the life out of her.Everybody just wants this fetus dead. I mean they really do use words like "that thing", "bloodsucker" and "demon" when describing a fetus. I don't see how anyone can defend such a mean spirited message. They call the fetus "it" over and over. This film is just depressing with how bitter everyone is. It just gets worse as time goes on. I am so glad this is the last "Twilight" movie I'll ever watch in my life. Apparently, there has somehow never been a vampire that's gotten a human pregnant before. During sex, Edward is literally destroying the beds and giving Bella bruises, which she's mostly okay with.The Rifftrax had tons of great stuff and I especially like, "Oh honey, everyone's gone! Our unholy marriage must have triggered the rapture!". I also loved when they referred to Jacob and said, "Hi, runner up!". I got a chuckle out of, "I drink your bloodshake!" too. Okay, did they really have to make a joke about bronies? I mean, I'm glad they acknowledge them, but don't say anything bad about us. I think this is the first time I've heard them riff through the credits, although they do stop at some point. Anywho, this is a trashy movie no one should watch. *

Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 follows Bella and Edward as they get married and embark on their honeymoon, only to find new trouble has occurred. There were a handful of parts of this movie that I liked. When characters became unhealthy, they looked unhealthy. They actually looked really good in this particular instance. Otherwise there were a couple ideas that I thought were, although poorly explained at times, pretty cool and unpredictable. Other than that, this movie suffers in almost every way the previous ones did. As per usual, we get some terrible performances from our three main leads. I don't know if I'm getting used to them or what, but I don't mind their acting as much anymore. Except Taylor Lautner, he still sucks big-time. Kristen Stewart was alright though. I think. She wasn't as annoyingly bad at acting as she was in the previous movies at least. Robert Pattinson is still better, but not by much. There was one performance that really stood out to me, however, and that was the one committed by Booboo Stewart. This was seriously one of the worst performances I've ever seen. He reminded me of Kristen Stewart's worst moments from the first movie, but it was all the time. He delivered these extremely cliché and overused lines with as much personality as a dying boulder. Try to imagine that. I can't tell if the writing still sucks or if I'm used to it, but I think it's gotten better. Not much better, as proved by the lines written for Booboo Stewart's character, but it wasn't so unbearably or hilariously awful as it was previous. The special effects still suck. The wolves themselves look like garbage. And then there was a baby made with CGI for some reason. I remembered hearing about that, but I could not have prepared myself for that. It looked hilariously fake. I loved it. It was probably the best part of the movie.One thing in particular that really confuses me is the fact that everyone keeps saying that if a vampire were to engage in sexual intercourse with a human that it'd be dangerous, and yet I don't recall anyone ever stating why or how, or even stating that until someone just started saying it like everyone already knew it. A handful of other things were poorly or never explained at all, but this was the biggest thing. And the make-up. Normally I wouldn't look at this, but the Cullens were super pale in all the previous movies and now they aren't. They're still pale, but not nearly as pale as before. They actually look human. In the previous movies it was hard to care for these characters because they didn't look real, and in turn they fit the exaggerated character stereotypes that they embodied. Now they look human, yet still maintain these personalities, which makes it hard to take them seriously as characters in a serious movie. They fit better in a Japanese anime than a live-action supposedly serious American movie like this one. Furthermore, the first three movies spent time developing characters that didn't feel or look like people, so in my mind that's exactly what they weren't. And now they're being treated like well-developed characters and it just doesn't work. The sudden shift doesn't make any real sense within the story, but I guess that's what you get with a new director for every movie. Overall Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has some good ideas, but it fails on every level the ones before it did. It's like a turd with ice cream on the other side of it. There's some good stuff, but you have to push through the crap to get to it. It's good for a Twilight movie, but that doesn't mean that it's actually good. In the end I wouldn't recommend this movie.

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Oh look a NOPEmovie. If you ever come across this film in your travels, do the world a favor; take it from where you have found it, set it gently on the ground, take a machine gun and unload a round or two into it. After you've finished with that, scoop up the remains, then transport those remains to the nearest fire. When there is nothing but ashes left, sweep up those ashes and deposit them into a container of acid. Take that container of acid and travel to the deepest body of water you can find and release that acid into the middle of it. Then we can rest assured it can't hurt anyone else. You can help all of your fellow humans by deciding to take these simple steps to avoid the pain and suffering. Thank you.

I loved the Twilight movies, and I hope that there will be more sequels to come, especially with original cast members. The settings where filmed were beautiful, the music captured my heart.It has been a very heartfelt series and I pray that the series will go on and certain cast will let go of past and forgive you all did a wonderful job with the movies and it was nice to see a family really stand by one another. I have watched the series several times now and have bought all the DVD's and am planning on getting the whole complete set . I so felt drawn in by the main characters of the series and if more are made I pray that they all will return, we only live once and need to be able to forgive and caring to all .. I believe Kristen and Rob should be together, for real, I just feel it.
