Movie Review: Breaking Dawn (Twilight 4)

20 mins of marriage, 40 mins of honeymoon, 40 mins of pregnancy, 20 mins of death, and then 30 seconds as a vampire. That's what happens to Bella, and that's all there is to it.

Twilight 1 was all wow, and Twilight 2 added some more wow, Twilight 3 got a little boring with the wow rubbing off.. but hey, at least you had enough wows when Bella came on screen, and she came often. Sadly, Twilight 4 is more yucks, eeks and yawn, and definitely no wow. Unless you count the couple of times you get to oggle at Bella in her Victoria's Secrets as she prances around begging to be made love to. Even more disastrously, no matter how much she tries to wow you in the first half, things get really ugly when she's pregnant in the second half, and that image of a dying, stricken, and very sick Bella is what you carry out of the theatre.

There is none of the beautiful dad-daughter relationship, none of the fights that made you stare wide eyed, none of the smiles and laughter and the cute romance.
Vampires were dangerous, but also a lot of fun. Now, Vampires are back to being disgusting blood drenched, blood sucking creatures. And Bella, it's tough thinking about her because her ghotly images scare the hell out of you.

For me, the Twilight has passed into night.
