Anyway... my verdict? Well, I liked it. A lot. I wasn't expecting much. Breaking Dawn is my least favorite of the books, although I do love Jacob's perspective. With a wedding, honeymoon, and pregnancy... well I knew the movie would probably be a bit slow, with very little action.
I didn't find it slow at all. I guess because I know the characters, I know the story, and I was caught up in it. My brother-in-law (who just came to be with his wife) found it VERY slow. So I guess, if you're a fan you'll probably like it. If you're not... don't expect to be riveted.
Jacob was the best part for me (and I'm a Team Edward girl). Taylor Lautner did an awesome job. It was really evident how much Jacob has to grow up and mature in this movie. And they did the whole birth scene VERY well. It was gross, a little bit traumatizing, and Bella looked AWFUL. Seriously, so so bad. I enjoyed the movie enough that I'm miffed I have to wait another year to see part two.
Anyway, of course I'm going to do my crush of the week. And I've got two. Like I said, I'm a Team Edward girl. In fact, in my first reading of the books, I never got Bella's thing for Jacob in Eclipse (that whole begging him to kiss her scene). Seeing the movies... well, I understood better. Maybe that's just because of Taylor Lautner! Haha. Actually, this re-reading, and watching all the movies again... I couldn't help but think as a human I'd rather be with a werewolf. Hot bods aside, the warmth is very appealing. And there's something about the idea of snuggling up with a big, furry dog. But the love story between Edward and Bella has always been what got me, what hooked me to the books.
So right now, I'm on Team Both.
I'm looking forward to seeing this...on dvd. No way would my Husband subject himself to it. And I won't be visiting any family for Thanksgiving so I won't be able to go with my sister. *Sigh* Oh well!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you liked the movie, I haven't seen it yet but I want to eventually. I'm with you on the team both, but I've always been a little more partial to Edward.
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I'll probably go see it.
ReplyDeleteI liked Jacob more - up until he changed and had a bad temper and even made her kiss him. Of course Bella started liking him more after that - she's weird. But I guess he was hotter then. lol
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it. Thanks for the run down.
ReplyDeleteLol I love Team Both! I'm right with you-I never got the whole begging Jacob to kiss her scene in Eclipse either. But I think Taylor does a better job acting-I don't like the way Rob plays Edward, I always pictured Edward to be more suave and less inclined to anger. I can't wait to see the movie, though. I've heard people either love it or think its slow. I dragged my hubby to the theater Saturday night and (unlike you we didn't pre-order tickets-big mistake) it was sold out, so we saw Jack and Jill instead. Funny stuff!!
